Bringing the authentic taste of Mexican paleterías to the heart of Ankeny, Iowa — one handcrafted treat at a time.
At Mangos Gourmet Paletas, we believe a frozen treat should taste like the real thing. That's why we handcraft our paletas in small batches using fresh fruit and time-honored Mexican recipes.
Paletas — traditional Mexican ice pops — are at the heart of what we do. From bright, refreshing fruit flavors like mango, tamarind, and lime, to rich cream flavors like coconut, strawberries & cream, and cajeta, there's something for every craving. We proudly offer plenty of dairy-free options so everyone can enjoy a treat.
What started as a passion for authentic frozen desserts has grown into one of Ankeny's most-loved sweet spots, rated 4.8 stars across 186 Google reviews and beloved by 3,700+ fans on Facebook.
Simple ingredients, honest flavors, and a warm welcome every time.
Traditional Mexican paletería techniques and flavors, crafted the way they're meant to be.
We start with real fruit and quality ingredients — never artificial-tasting shortcuts.
A welcoming shop where families gather to cool off and enjoy a sweet moment together.
Whether it's your first paleta or your fiftieth, we can't wait to share our flavors with you.
