The Paleta Bar is ready to sweep West Texas with fresh gourmet Mexican pops.
The treat shop was started in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and has since expanded to El Paso and Midland. The location here opened two weeks ago at 4400 Midland Drive, suite 250. Plans are to have a location in Odessa soon. The chain also has locations in California and Florida. Jeremiah and Angelina Santos started the business, because Angelina wanted to share her paletas with others. Paleta bars originated in Albuquerque.
“Paletas are something I love,” she said. “I love being able to put smiles on people’s faces whether it’s cooking, baking or making paletas.”
The paletas are either cream-based or water-based, Angelina also adds fruit and natural flavors to her paletas. Bar flavors include mango, lime, banana, pistachio, pecan, coffee, hazelnut crunch, sandia with chile, strawberry filled with lechera, avocado, Oreo (cookies and cream), bubble gum, strawberry, strawberry cream cheese, coconut, almond, vanilla, birthday cake, caramel macchiato, Fruity Pebbles cereal, gold bar, tres leches, ganisto, chips ahoy, KitKat, strawberry banana, chocolate abuelita, mazapan, Reese’s peanut butter and a monthly special flavor. Angelina said bubble gum and Oreo are some of customers favorites and the chili watermelon and mango are best sellers.
Customers can also choose from their choice of toppings. They can choose from melted chocolate, nuts, crushed Oreos, M&M’s, sprinkles, Fruity Pebbles, fresh fruit, chamoy and more. The store also serves agua frescas with natural flavors, including blueberry limeade, cucumber lime, watermelon and pineapple orange. The shop also serves horchata, which can be added to coffee to make a horchata latte. Jeremiah said they use their own special coffee blend roasted in Albuquerque. The menu features snacks including dorinaches, jerky bag, juanpuccino (Oreo or original flavor) and elote.
“Everything is made with extra love here,” Angelina said.
Angelina’s favorite is the pecan paleta fully dipped in white chocolate with coconut topping and more white chocolate drizzled one top. Jeremiah’s favorite is the almond with chocolate drizzle.
“No matter what you try it is going to be your favorite,” Jeremiah said.
