Palacana

One of the best ice cream and Mexican pastries places in Kansas City. Cooked to order and lots of options to choose from. This does tend to make this location difficult to access (long lines and accessible parking). it’s a very small and cramped space but the lines and people do move through quickly. A thing to note, this business does charge an extra % for credit/debit card processing fees, nothing wrong with the charge but this is something to take in consideration when deciding whether to pay with physical cash or a card. Great experience and place to give a try.

This is another great ice cream place here in Kansas City. They have a wide variety of flavors and Popsicles for you to try. The staff are very kind and don't rush you. This is a good place to grab some ice cream!

This place makes me wish I was a Mexican. Love being the only gringo in the place at 9 PM. Try the coconut, pineapple, and mango! See pic. I don’t even eat ice cream anymore because I try to stay in shape. Every time I come back to KC, this place sucks me in! It will be their fault if I get gordo again! Just kidding…

So good, never disappoints, atmosphere is great, inside and outside seating, staff is friendly, polite and quick. Great little location.

Definitely a new adventure place. I really lived the Chile Mango popsicle. What I didn't love was walking about the door and someone blew weed smoke on me as I went by. Had to smell like that the rest of the night. Not the business fault but please pay attention to who loiters 3 feet from your front door.

Soooooooooo gooood! The rompope is amazing so is the limone my kids got the 3 tier loaded one we got both bowls in the photo for $16.53 we are in love with this place

The only time I went to Palacana was back in March 2022, and the place went by the name of “Paleterias Tropicana”. Palacana is known for serving homemade, authentic Mexican ice cream, paletas, fruit cocktails, smoothies, churros, and traditional Mexican lunch & dinner dishes. When I went to Palacana (formerly called Paleterias Tropicana), I was impressed with seeing how many flavors of ice cream and sorbet sold there. Palacana is truly a chain of Mexican paleterias with 5 locations in the Kansas City metropolitan area, and one location in Wichita, KS. Palacana as “Paleterias Tropicana” was founded in 2004 and the Southwest Boulevard location is Palacana’s original flagship store. The menu at Palacana has a little bit of breakfast, lunch, dinner, and a wide variety of every kind of Mexican dessert that a typical paleteria may serve. When I went to Palacana that was known as “Paleterias Tropicana” in March 2022, I ordered the Strawberry and Cheese ice cream flavor and it tasted what it sounded like which was strawberries mixed with cheese, but it was almost similar to a Strawberry Cheesecake. The place had good service, and the ice cream I ordered taste great. If customers are looking for a Mexican ice cream parlor with a wide variety of desserts along with frozen dessert flavors that also has a snack bar inside, Palacana would be the place for people to visit.

Went here on a hot day and it was so refreshing! The ice cream was nice and soft. My husband and I got their horchata and coconut. Both were great portions, about 2 scoops each and well priced for the amount and quality. They have a huge selection of different goodies from churros to nachos to shaved ice and smoothies. I definitely recommend trying them out! They’re now our favorite ice cream shop in KC.
