"Running the last mile of your hike was perhaps ill-advised and now your body temperature is hotter than Matt Bomer helping an elderly woman cross the street. Head immediately to Mateo’s. Between their Oaxacan paletas, super-creamy gelatos, and sorbets that taste like freshly juiced strawberries, this incredible Mexican dessert shop in Culver is one of the fastest cool-downs in town. You can’t go wrong with any of their 30 different flavors, but we love the watermelon, mango dusted with chile, and leche quemada - a creamy smoked milk concoction that tastes exactly like someone kippered a gallon of dairy over an open flame." - brant cox
