"Flor Heras is a third-generation chocolatier and co-owner of Rito Chocolateria, the shop and chocolate company her family founded years ago. Today, Heras is pushing her art even further with Reina Negra, a new sub-brand of obsessively sourced bean-to-bar chocolate that you can sample and purchase at the Rito storefront. Situated across from one of the busiest markets in town, the shop sells packaged chocolate as well as agua de chocolate, fruit-filled pastries, and other ready-to-eat treats. It’s also where Heras holds small workshops where visitors can learn everything about chocolate, from the raw ingredients to the process to its history and cultural significance to the Oaxacan people.

The most delicious chocolate ice cream I've ever had 🤎 I love chocolate, but I've never been a huge fan of chocolate flavored ice cream. Turns out I just had never had a good one! It came served on the cutest cup, but you can also get a cone. It's a very deep chocolate flavor that's not overly sweet, and the cocoa nibs inside provide a nice crunch. Truly loved it. Bought some chocolate discs for making chocolate drinks at home and a bar with pataxtle pieces. Can't wait to try them!

I don't even like chocolate ice cream usually, and my boyfriend and I had to force ourselves not to go get one every day we were in Oaxaca. The chocolate flavor is full and the cocoa nibs add a nice crunch. Their hot chocolate is nice too, but if you have to pick one or the other, ice cream is the way to go! You can also buy pucks of their chocolate to make hot chocolate at home, and bars. 😊

I bought an iced chocolate and a portion of chocolate ice-cream. The seller, like every good salesman, praised his products and said they're the best in Mexico, which, of course, I took with a grain of salt. The drink was nothing to write home about but that ice-cream was probably the best chocolate ice-cream I had in my life - rich in flavour and not overly sweet. The addition of cacao nibs creates a nice sensation to otherwise boring texture. Highly recommended.

Never have had we had chocolate ice cream better than this. Thick, like a mousse, with delicious chocolate nibs mixed in. So good, we went back again for seconds a day later.

I checked the reviews of this small shop before stepping out of it, and ended up with writing my compliments of their chocolate ice cream as well! It was literally the best of best i have ever had, even though I don’t really like sweets. They added little pieces of cacao in it, so crunchy and yummy!!!

I tried their cold chocolate drink and got some mini chocolate bars to take home for gifts. Great service and the 70% chocolate drink was great and refreshing on this hot day!

They have the best chocolate ice cream (perhaps all ice creams) I’ve ever had in my life and I am an absolute snob when it comes to ice cream. It’s so chocolatey and rich with an out of this world texture that almost reminds me of brownie batter. The cacao nibs laced throughout really make the experience of eating this cone feel sublime. Leaving Oaxaca in two days and will reminisce about this ice cream for a LONG time.
