Neveria La Mexicana

I just went to this ice cream store but it was the one in Stapleton and it was UNREAL. This is not just a ice cream shop but a full blown experience. I love sorbet and what they had was sorbet on steroids. We had a ‘chamango’ and it was delicious. Spicy and sweet and icy all at the same time. They had amazing home made ice cream and very unique Popsicles like cucumber and cilantro with lime. This is a culinary experience and I am definitely going back. Like tomorrow

Their chamoyada de mango & fresas con crema are amazing! So fresh & flavorful. Mm I’m always craving this place now

Fruit and Ice cream galore :). Their menu is so extensive it was hard to make up my mind on what to order. The lady at the counter was very patient, she described the desserts of which I had questions with.
They sell all kind of fruit and pair it with chamoy, chilli powder or ice cream and their specialty creams. I hadn’t eaten all day so I’ve got my backseat full with a to-​go order. I ordered a ham «torta,» a green juice which contains spinach and cucumbers and other fruits. Got myself an order of large tostilocos and an «eskamocha».
I can’t believe I didn’t know about this place sooner! I love me some Mexican desserts!

You might not get what you order if you don’t speak Spanish but even so you’ll get something delicious! I got a bionico and a Chamoyada de mango (AKA mangonada). The bionico is a fruit parfait made with watermelon, strawberry, cantaloupe and pineapple with yogurt on top and honey. You can get nuts and coconut on top. I wanted both but I think the employee misunderstood me and only put walnuts. That cost around $ 5.50. The mangonada is freshly blended mango mixed with chamoy sauce served with a tamarind candy straw.
They have lots of other foods like hot dogs, burgers, chocolate covered banana Popsicles, takis, ceviche, tacos, etc.
The interior has about 5 tables and there’s no outdoor seating. I’m unsure of the hours but I think weekdays it closes around 8:30 PM (they didn’t list hours at their storefront).
I’m definitely going to return here to try their savory options! Stay tuned!

Living in a dry, arid climate, like Denver, one would think that there would be a lot more venders peddling shaved ice. Not so. With that being the case, I had to go out on a mission to track down the elusive raspado. I had a faint memory of a neveria being located along East Colfax, so I headed east until I found the quaint little ice cream shop in Aurora’s downtown. Inside, they have a random assortment of items — from hot dogs to nachos to elotes to ice cream. Oh, nevermind the rest because we were here to try the raspados. They have artificial and natural syrups. We naturally skipped the artificial and chose their natural mango and pina. These sweet syrups come with fruit pulp and are topped off with some sweetened milk (if you’d like). The flavors were wonderful. Cold, refreshing, and plenty of sweet. It’s a beautiful thing during a dry, hot Denver summer. My only gripe is that they don’t shave the ice finely, which would make the product a lot, lot better. Instead, the ice is coarsely chopped… making it resemble a snow cone rather than shaved ice. Overall, this is a must have for the summer — I am hoping to check out a few other spots serving raspados, so stay tuned.
