La Michoacana Premium

 

Why People Love the Colorful, Handmade Paletas of La Michoacana Premium

With its brightly colored exterior, La Michoacana Premium entices customers in for one of its over 40 flavors of paletas and ice creams. Some even travel across state lines for their refreshing treats. 

For this story I spent the Fiesta del Sol weekend at the Pilsen location of La Michoacana Premium for a look at what keeps their loyal patrons coming back again and again.
