Mariscos La Isla Dorada - Des Plaines

Simple and nostalgic! I always order the Elote corn. They use good quality corn and majority of the franchise uses the smaller sweet corn, which is what I prefer over the bigger yellow corn.

I've been by this place a bunch of times but never had the time to walk inside until today. And now that I've tried it, I can say I will definitely be back.Their frozen fruit/other bars alone are incredible. There are so many fun and interesting flavors, and they look handmade with real pieces of fruit or other ingredients inside. My partner for the elotes which were creamy and spicy but delicious. I had the horchata which doesn't look like much in the photo but it was amazing. It was sweet, cinnamony, and creamy. They added a little bit of ice to make it perfectly chilled and refreshing. I would absolutely get the horchata again, but I would love to try the frozen bars as well. The price is great and I absolutely recommend it!

Adriana is amazing! Best service and knows exactly what I ask for, she deserves to be a manger! An cause of the great service I’ll always come an tell my friends about this one

My husband and I were looking for frozen yogurt, and we came across La Michoacana. When we walked in, we were greeted by bright, warm colors. There were no menus available. There were three screens above the service area that were blank, so I'm guessing this is where the menus normally are. After checking out the flavors, I got two scoops of ice cream in a waffle cone. I got the chocolate chip and the mint chocolate chip ice cream flavors. These were the biggest ice cream scoops I have ever seen. They easily gave me six regular scoops of ice cream. The flavors were very rich and sweet, exactly what I was looking for. You get a value for your money. The parking lot is a pain to try and navigate. There is not enough parking for all of the businesses. When we left, we were blocked in by someone double parking to use the convenience store. The food and service are pretty good, and La Michocana comes highly recommended.
