Never had I ever heard of chongos until today. The lady gave me a sample of their chongo ice cream and I was in love.

My goodness soooooooooo creamy!!!! And the sweetness was on point! It’s like 6.50 for a small cup but the portions size is quite big.

I also had a bag of house made chips with limón and salsa Valentina. It was all a fun experience, I don’t get to eat Mexican much and these two things I have not had before so it was a great experience all around.

As much I want to give a higher rating because it’s a unique Mexican store, I can’t since my husband and I were really disappointed.

The place looks clean and smells clean. When we went there, there was only one staff and it was okay since there were just us and another customer that went in. It looks good. We ordered the Mangonadas and Michelaguas. The staff asked me what popsicle ice cream to put since it comes with a popsicle ice cream, I said mango. But she insisted on lemon since that’s what they always use even tho the picture doesn’t have a green popsicle in it. Since I don’t know what it tasted like, I gave it a go. I was so wrong. I could barely understand what she was saying too. She also put a monster energy drink on that ice cream instead of agua something that they were supposed to put since they are out. The thing is, monster energy drinks have a lot of caffeine. And I wouldn’t want my kid not knowingly drinking/eating that. The label should write “monster energy drink” not just monster. For all I know, there could be a “monster” candy.

So we ate/drank it at home and it didn’t taste as good as it looked—both Mangonadas and Michelaguas. The combination of tastes are just not good. Yes, it is unique but it doesn’t taste good. It’s waaaay too sour. The Mexican-twizzler-jelly on top tasted like a cheap perfumed plastic jelly candy. The red sauce on the mango slushy part tasted sour too. There’s tamarind on the straw that tasted sour then there’s a spicy and salty salt at the brim of the cup. It was horrrible—every piece in that drink and overall. I’ve tasted different ice creams and drinks of different countries and if this is what Mexican ice cream/drinks taste like then I don’t like it at all, even my husband didn’t like it. I’m appalled if this is what Mexican ice creams/drinks tastes like since I love Mexican food.

We wasted $18 for the ice cream/drinks we could barely finish. Plus we both had major acid reflux after and that only happens to me when I eat food with a lot of preservatives, yet it says on the board at the cashier that it’s 100% natural.

Please improve this. It’s not just about how good the store looks, how clean it looks, and how unique it is. It’s also about the quality and the taste of the products you sell. The quality is just way off compared to the price. Way overpriced for that kind of taste. Please put more detailed labels on the ice cream/drinks that you sell too. This store has a lot of potential.

I really wanted some Ice Cream after dinner on the way home from work. I initially tried to go to Cones on the Corner, which indicated they were open (but they weren’t much to my disappointment). I was almost crushed, but found that La Canasta Bakery & La Michoacana Ice Cream was only a three minute drive away in Silvis. Excitedly, I headed over to get my post dinner sweet treat.

I don’t think I’d driven to Silvis for anything in my life prior to this. The area around 1st Avenue is delightful – lots of little shops lining either side of the road, including this Bakery and Ice Cream shop. I really need to come back to visit again, perhaps for Frank’s Pizza or Mr. Panda.

The interior of La Michoacana Ice Cream was as delightful as the exterior. The furnishings are what you’d expect in a modern shop selling about anything – The floors were a new wood laminate of somewhat faded appearance, the ceiling area consisted of a drop ceiling with 2×4 foot tiles and florescent fixtures, and new displays behind the ice cream counter listed off all the products and associated prices. The mascot of sorts for the store and associated decoration was a sort of hispanic little girl chibi person – hadn’t seen this before, but it was neat.

I opted for two scoops of ice cream in a waffle cone. The bottom scoop ended up being a sort of cookie ice cream (not the typical cookies and cream) and for the top scoop I opted for mango ice cream. Both were pretty good – probably not worth driving all the way to Silvis solely to procure again, but if I were eating in the area I’d stop by again.

It’s a nice store with some solid ice cream. It definitely satiated my sweet tooth after dinner tonight. If I’m in Silvis again, I’d consider stopping by again. Thanks, La Michoacana!

I appreciate that they’re trying, but having been to a Michoacána on the West Coast, they have no idea what theyre doing.
I’ve been here twice now and I feel like there’s a certain expectation when it comes to Mexican antojitos – papas locas are not walking tacos…raspados are not for drinking. I would have been ok with drinking my jamaica flavored raspado, if the jamaica was good. The staff didn’t even know what lechera was ‍♀️

SO good! We went here this evening for paletas in celebration of Mexican Independence Day & loved it! We have already gotten into our baked goods & they are delicious! My kiddos loved the cookies & their churros were amazing. We actually drove 20 min across across the river to try this place out because we have heard great things. I have not found a Mexican bakery that I love on the Iowa side…so, I will happily make the drive for this place! The building was very clean & the staff were all super nice. They were patient & sweet with my kiddos too. We will be back soon!

Food was good like always, however I came at 11 and they opened at 10. And they were already out of strawberry horchata and agua horchata. Also it seemed the staff didn’t know the items we asked for unless we pointed. Even with working at La Michoacana the workers didnt have a clue what the snacks and drinks were called. The food was good just the service was awkward and they seemed to be out of multiple things.

I tried the bakery and the ice cream, both were absolutely amazing.
The quality of the baked goods is excellent and the quality of the fillings is beyond anything I’ve found in the Quad Cities.
The ice cream side was equally delicious. Non Latin-X members of the community might find some of the flavors and combinations curious and even daunting, but if you’ve never had a chili spiced ice cream, don’t worry, there are plenty of options for those with tamer taste buds.
Don’t go in if you’re in a hurry, this is a young business and the intricacy they put into many of the concoctions might mean a longer wait than you are accustomed to at the local (blah) ice cream places. A little patience will pay off across the surface of your tongue, if you can keep your inner Karen in check.
If the employees are as fluent in English as they are in custom creations, they are certainly not advertising it, but they are no less polite or service oriented for their lack of conversation because for real, they are doing God’s work in there.
Did I mention they are open until 10pm? I can’t wait to see if they maintain those hours through the winter. I don’t care where in the Quad Cities you live, the teeny tiny trip to Silvis is well worth it.

The bakery and the ice cream shop are separate businesses and the employees don’t seem to cross over.

Nom, Nom, Nom. I was so suprised to find our favorite place from Chicago has been here in the Quad Cities for years! My wife loves Esquites (I think its called Elote around here, but Elote is on a stick/on a cob) so instead of me making it all the time, we can stop here on occassion. 😉

I’m there for the ice cream, mind you, and its just delicious. Something about this ice cream just makes me happy – its much more creamy and tasty than Whitey’s. You must try some while there, you won’t be disappointed.

The drinks – I cannot tell you anything about them. I don’t do sweet drinks, nor caffeine, so that pretty much rules out their entire drink menu, BUT THE ICE CREAM. GO FOR THE ICE CREAM.
