1. Paletas: A Mexican Classic

Paletas are traditional Mexican popsicles made with real fruit, natural sweeteners, and sometimes creamy bases like milk or coconut. At Tecuen, we offer a rotating selection of both water-based and milk-based paletas. Think flavors like mango-chile, strawberries and cream, or creamy coconut—vibrant, satisfying, and perfect for hot weather.

Unlike mass-produced popsicles, paletas are crafted in small batches with quality ingredients. They're lighter than ice cream, but just as indulgent in their own way.

2. Popsicles, Reimagined

Our artisanal popsicles take the idea of frozen fruit treats to another level. These aren’t your average freezer-aisle pops. With creative combinations and refreshing simplicity, our popsicles are made to highlight bold flavors without artificial extras.

3. Frappés: A Drinkable Dessert

When you want a frozen treat that doubles as a drink, a frappé hits the spot. Blended with ice and full of flavor, our frappés are cool, creamy, and crave-worthy. Whether you go for Coconut, Caramel, Horchata, Taro, or Latte, these drinks offer refreshment and richness in every sip.

Bonus: You can customize your frappé to be caffeine-free, making it a great option for younger guests or anyone avoiding coffee.

4. A Healthier Way to Chill

Many of our frozen treats offer a lighter, more natural alternative to traditional ice cream. With fresh fruit, dairy-free options, and smaller portion sizes, our menu is perfect for those looking for a guilt-free indulgence. And with ingredients you can pronounce, there’s no mystery in your dessert.

5. The Tecuen Experience

What makes Tecuen special isn’t just the treats themselves—it’s the heart and heritage behind them. Rooted in Michoacán tradition and inspired by our love for natural, beautiful ingredients, our shop is a space where summer moments become memories.
