"I had the honor of trying multiple meals from this place. The food is good. The creations they come up with are amazing and tasty. The drinks are definitely something to try. I had the monster loco. It will be a regular drink for me. The ice cream is another gem in this place. Try it out. Hope they add tacos one day."

"The food was very good, I had the Ramen + tamales, with some horchata, and my friend had nachos and the mango drink. We didn't have the ice cream or other desserts, really, but they looked very good and had a lot of variety.
It would be nice to have some more English on the menu and maybe some to-go cups for soups, but otherwise, we had a great time!"
Mark Laxmeter
"The owner was phenomenally kind. On a very hot night she let 4 of us in for ice cream even though they were closed for a repair! The ice cream flavors were creamy and definitely worth the trip!!! Coconut, pistachio, Oregon strawberry, pecan, etc. Great treat - highly recommend!"

Delicias Del Viejo specializes in handcrafted Mexican treats like colorful paletas (popsicles) made with frozen fruit, frescas con crema (fresh strawberries mixed into a sweet, creamy sauce), and ice cream treats including banana splits and milkshakes. Try the mangonada if you like bold flavors—the smoothie-like drink combines the sweetness of mango, tartness of lime juice, and a spicy kick from chile-based chamoy.
