Paleteria El Paleton

This was by far the best place when it came to their ice cream and food. It’s really hard to find a place where the food is genuinely good and the food was too. I bought almost every single flavor of ice cream and there are no regrets. Definitely will be coming back to try the rest of the food options they have. The costumer service was amazing! They were so kind and patient with me considering I was ordering so much. If you are ever thinking about stopping by, please do. I wasn’t from the area but the drive was so worth it!!

If I could give a zero rating I would, they were rude and my baby sister needed a cup for her ice cream and they were gonna charge a dollar for an empty cup. Like who does that a whole dollar for Styrofoam, you have got to be kidding me.

Best place around to get fresh ice cream

I don't like negatively reviewing small businesses because of the potential negative impact but I feel like this is a public health hazard. The paletas seemed tasty, however, I found this place on the quest for a mangonada/chamoyada. This turned out to be a pre-made cup full of mushy, possibly spoiled mangoes, slushy and melted sorbet and very little of the syrup and flavorings. The tamarind candy stick was mushy and gross. I've had this dessert in many places but this was just awful. I felt sick after just a couple of bites and threw it away. A true disappointment.

I first learned of this gem because a corner store in JC sold these paletas. They were so delicious we googled them and traveled to Passaic to try their other flavors! Haven’t gone in a long time but will be making a trip before the winter arrives!
