While we're used to ice cream flavors like the standard vanilla and chocolate, it's at Delicias de Mexico in Garden Grove where the brave can really venture out and try a surprising array of flavors, from a scoop made from the tropical Mamay fruit, to a corn flavored "paleta de leche," or ice cream bar.
A standout in this store is the Chongos ice cream, which is like tried and true vanilla ice cream with a twist: There's a hint of cinnamon in each spoonful, along with tiny, chewy flecks of sweet curded milk candy. On this hot day, the Chongos ice cream didn't even have time to melt before we wolfed it down.
And while this place has by far some of the most creative ice cream flavors, it does right by us in the standard flavors as well. Cookies and cream is a tasty surprise, with a sweet, soft vanilla flavor countered by crunchy, almost salty chocolate cookies. Out of all the scoops of cookies and cream we ate, Delicias de Mexico's was the favorite.
