What Mexico City has to offer in terms of cold desserts will undoubtedly delight your taste-buds. From the more common Italian gelato-style ice creams and sorbets to the Mexican paletas, ice-lollies made with natural ingredients and raspados, flavored ice shavings served in cups or plastic bags, there is no limit to the huge selection of frozen treats you can find in Mexico’s capital.

Helado Obscuro

If you are looking for unique ice creams, Helado Obscuro is the place to go.

The quality of ice cream is superb and they offer a magnificent range of flavors, mostly a variety of fruits mixed with an assortment of alcohol, but they also provide delicious non-alcoholic ice creams for those who prefer softer flavors.
