La Michoacana Paleteria

26841 S Dixie Hwy, Naranja, FL 33032

✅ Takeout - ✅ Dine-in - ✅ Delivery - ✅ Outdoor Dining 

No matter how high the South Florida heat climbs, locals know that relief is waiting on a stick at La Michoacana Paleteria, an all-seasons dessert staple with several branches across Miami, with one in the heart of Naranja!

Offering frozen treats that flirt with color, innovation, and nostalgia, La Michoacana Paleteria skips the trendy gimmicks to deliver a freezer case filled with rows of Mexican-style paletas bursting with real fruits, nuts, chocolate, and cane sugar.

Think tangy Mangonada, creamy Coconut, playful Chicle (bubble-gum), or the festive Rompope (Mexican eggnog)—and those are just the tip of the iceberg!

La Michoacana Paleteria also features frozen Mangonada cups, bolis, and indulgent Rice Pudding when your craving calls for something beyond paletas.

No, La Michoacana Paleteria doesn't just cool you down — it makes you look forward to the next heatwave!
