Paleteria Y Neveria La Rosita

Everything I’ve had has been delicious. Their agua de frutas is the best one I’ve had in the US. I don’t live in South bend but when I’ve visited I always stop by for a snack. I do feel it’s a bit expensive though.

I love love love!!! All fresh ingredients..Made when ordered... everything from smoothies, parfait, tacos, ice cream and the list goes on!!! The staff is very friendly.. there is indoor and outdoor seating... cash or credit... Always busy but service is fast.. open m-sun 11 to 10pm

This is authentic ice cream shop. The ice cream is delicious. My daughter loves the tortas. The elote corn is yummy as well.

Very nice place! Loved their Chamoyada, it was my first time trying it and it's really good!! They also have fruit bars, ice cream scoops, banana split, nachos and Mexican corn. Place is very clean and has nice seating indoor and outdoor both.

This place is by far my favorite. I just absolutely LOVE their banana splits, yogurt parfaits, and fruit cups with dip. I love the way they're set up.... Everything is just so friendly, bright, and enjoyable. The staff have always been so respectful , patient and make sure every customer is taken care of accordingly. They have seating inside and outside so there shouldn't be any worry that there isn't a place to sit because I assure there is plenty. They have a selection of things to pick from. They have great walking tacos, really good corn on a stick, AMAZING Mexican Popsicles, fresh fruits, mouth watering ice cream and a variety of other things also. I would most definitely recommend this place for anyone and everyone.

The ice cream was great! We got in just before a little rush. They really hustle. There is also some food available like a walking taco and corn in a cup.

Very helpful and very polite. They work hard and fast to give you the best food. Love the ice cream, food and other delights.

The West Side of Southbend can be a awesome place to visit. La Rositas is an amazing buisness with hard-working staff and people. The city of Southbend needs to invest more in the buisness so that the area continues to prosper.

La Rosita has been a staple of the west side and seeing it grow as the west side has grown has been awesome! While it's technically an ice cream parlor, La Rosita has a lot to offer. A TON of different ice cream flavors, popsicles, frozen drinks, even nachos and sandwiches! The inside has cute little booths to sit in or you can hang out outside. My only complaint is that there's only one bathroom.

Ice cream, drinks, & snacks are good, tried about everything within multiple visits and service sucked every time. The ladies attending don't say hi, and are rude when taking your order, got mad when I asked them nicely to repeat themselves cause they didn't talk loud enough. Just overall makes it a bad & awkward experience being the only one being attended to. Won't be going back.

Took my step grand daughter here today....I had a mangolada....I was curious...i had never triwd one before. Theres a lot of savory ingredients..tajin, choya etc and chillies. It was really good, but getting sweet and salty and chili in the first bite is a surprise.my stepgrand daughter had superman ice cream in a wafflecone...it was a hit. They served a giant chicharron topped like streetcorn....now im even more curious. Service was friendly and she was patient with my questions despite a distinct language barrier. The place is spotless inside...like could perform surgery spotless. Would definitely return for another mangolada and a chicharones. They also sell streetcorn.....

Lugar muy popular, casi siempre con fila hasta la banqueta--y con razón. Paletas y helados deliciosos.

We went to this place and everyone raved about what they ordered. The long lines tell you that people love this place and they were very fast.

The ice cream here was amazing! Very creamy and the flavors are strong! The service was nice and organized! Definitely will be back next time I'm in town!

Worst customer service ever! Walked in, no one said hello while there were not any other customers. I asked about mango diablito spiciness and was told "depends." So I then asked if I could have two flavors, the employee stared at me and did not say anything. I then was charged for mango diablito that was not served with chamoy or tamarindo. The employee did not serve my drink correctly, and refused to be helpful. She had large fake glue on lashes.

I've been coming here since I was a kid. This place is absolutely amazing. There are so many flavors that you simply don't find anywhere else. And they also offer other foods not just ice cream. The place was also recently remodeled and it's always packed.

BEST ice cream in town! It's a great place to hang out indoors or outdoors after grabbing some ice cream. You can also take it to-go if you are in a rush. Overall it's a great experience and has some delicious flavors and Sundays that you can try.

This place is great! Great place to go to if you have the Mexican munchies, lots of tasty options for sweet &/or spicy snacks. Usually busy but line moves fast

Great dessert! I got coconut ice cream and my boyfriend got guava, both were super delish. It's a little intimidating when you walk in, because everyone knows eachother, but there's nothing wrong with a good neighborhood place! They also serve some crazy food items, but we just stopped in for ice cream, there were so many options, we were a little overwhelmed, but would stop by again if we were ever in the area.

Love the food and ice cream absolutely delicious prices are bad for what you get. Can't beat the service

Everything I've had there is delicious! The Mexican chocolate is my favorite to date.

I was told every week by my Mexican colleague to head here on a Sunday avo. Took me three months to listen but now I'm a believer. Best in town: price, flavor, variety and that unnamable something that makes life feel 'real' and not just an endless rehearsal.

Great stop for ice cream. The Mexican chocolate ice cream is great. Will definitely come back.

Good ice cream, but shitty people. Didn't even crack a smile or seem interested in serving me.

I CAN'T SAY ENOUGH ABOUT HOW INCREDIBLE THIS PLACE IS. THIS IS MY FAVORITE PLACE ON EARTH!!! What I was expecting (and this still would have been great) was a place that did conventional American style ice cream but also mixed it up with some more Mexican flavors and also had paletas. Instead I amazed to find a paradise of authentic Mexican street food, both savory and sweet and some items that merge both. The most interesting items were the Botanas Locas, something I'd heard about but I'd never lived in a place with enough of a Mexican population to get a chance to try. B"asically, in a manner somewhat reminiscent of the Texas regional food "Frito Pie," they open up a package of some kind of snack chips the long way (we used Doritos) and then add an amazing amount of fixins including stuff like mango, avocado, peanuts, chicharonnes, and plenty of hot sauce, citrus and peppers. The result is a crunchy, spicy, tangy snack that is indeed ...crazy. I saw that in addition to this they also have something they call a "walking taco" which is a similar idea but with taco meat added, and plenty of other variations including some done with a bag of Cheetos! They also have more straightforward items like Tortas and a chicharonnes plate with all kinds of stuff added. And you can get an Elote (Mexican style street corn) either on the cob or in a cup. But the soul of the place is the ice creams, sorbets, paletas and other frozen concoctions. They do indeed have straightforward American stuff like banana splits and sundaes but the really amazing stuff is the Mexican concoctions such as the Vampiro, which is a Mango shaved ice concoction with all sorts of hot sauces and peppers added to it as well as a straw with a hardened tamarind candy around it which adds a ton of flavors. This is just one of countless variations that combine mango, other fruits, spices etc. which make this place heaven if you like savory/sweet and spicy/sweet combinations like I do. Also, Rosita just has a nice feeling to it. The service is always good and friendly, if not always fast. And the clientele is really varied with all sorts of different South Bend folks there. It's wonderful to see a place like this opening up and to see immigrants making a mark on the city with authentic food and to see it so well received by the locals. That definitely wasn't going on when I lived in South Bend, in the 80s or 90s.

Best place in South Bend for ice cream and interesting frozen treats and snacks. They have traditional flavors but my favorite ones to try every time I go back are the Mexican inspired ones: tequila (made with sliced almonds which is surprisingly amazing), sour sop, ma mey, mexican caramel, and coconut thus far. Prices are very fair and I always opt to get my scoops in a cup--which I was delighted to see was a large/deep styrofoam cup. My boyfriend has gotten a torta (grilled mexican sandwich) and tried the traditional horchata (tastes like the milk left over in your cereal bowl after eating cinnamon toast crunch). They have a variety of at least 5 different housemade horchatas! Both the torta and the horchata were excellent and made for a cheap lunch. They have other savory snack items that seem popular (the seasoned and buttered street corn) that I have yet to try but I've only been twice. My absolute favorite thing to get here (and ultimately the reason I sought this place out in the first place) are the things they do with their fruit sorbets and spice/chamoy. Spicy mango candies have been my go-to favorite thing since I was a kid and their blends of salty, sweet, fresh, and spicy flavors is AMAZING. They have a few different options on their menu but the one I've tried is the Chamoyada: mango and pineapple sorbets with fresh strawberries and pineapples with chamoy and taijin--it's unreal and what I imagine heaven tastes like. The establishment is clean and orderly. Service is always prompt despite it always having a line inside. The ladies behind the counter are kind and I always leave happy and full.

Everything's fresh and homemade. I had a chamoyado which is a complete mouth explosion of hot and spicy and sweet and mango and ice cream. Open until 10, friendly service, was hopping on a Sunday night at 10.

Ice cream was great. The Mexican chocolate is a new favorite, the one star off is for the Vampire drink we ordered. We didn't even drink more than one sip and had to get rid of it. Definitely not something any of us would ever drink.

This is my favorite ice cream place- ever. I) it is so inexpensive 2) They have flavors I've never even heard of! Mamey? What's mamey? A tree from the amazon that is probably the most delicious ice cream flavor in the world. The ice cream is super rich and creamy, while the fruity flavors (lime, guava, guavana, lemon, straweberry... the list goes on and on) are tart and sweet. My favorites are mamey, caramel and coconut. Seriously, go here now.

This place is awesome!!! Really authentic Mexican snack shop with great ice cream, paletas and some food! Mango on a stick...elotes...doritos locas....it is really a great place!

I tell anyone who will listen that La Rosita has the best ice cream in South Bend--seriously, no one else is even a close second. Do yourself a favor and make the trip, and once you're there, be adventurous in your flavor choices. I'm sure their standard US flavors are fine (they have cookies & cream, cookie dough, chocolate chip, etc.) -- but the flavors that make them the best ice cream in Michiana are lime, piñon (pine nut), coconut, tequila, etc. I always get one citrusy flavor and one creamy flavor: my favorite combo of the moment is lime and piñon.

People come here for the ice cream, and they won't disappoint. Their champurrado was also nice on a cold day. Read more here: https://bikeandeatsb.wordpress.com/2014/12/14/taqueria-chicago-y-la-rosita/
