Paleteria Las Delicias de Michoacan Westchester
MenuA little fruit. A little cream.
A savory bite in between.
Welcome to a world of Mexican treats in Westchester, Illinois. Paletas, tortas, snacks and aguas frescas give this food story its shape: frozen fruit and cream, bread with savory fillings, corn, sweet pastries and refreshing drinks.
Begin with a flavor you recognize, or get to know something different. The menu is your next stop for exploring the foods introduced here.
01 / On a stick
The language of paletas.
Paletas are Mexican frozen treats with fruit or cream at their heart. The paleteria’s introduction names these four flavors, each bringing a different point of reference to the same simple form.
- Strawberry
- A familiar berry note that makes an easy starting point for exploring fruit paletas. Think of the flavor of the fruit, carried into a frozen treat.
- Mango
- A tropical fruit flavor with a distinct character of its own. Mango sits alongside strawberry among the familiar favorites described by the paleteria.
- Tamarind
- A flavor often associated with a sweet and tart balance. Tamarind offers a different direction from berry and tropical fruit when learning about Mexican treats.
- Guava
- Another tropical fruit in the paleta introduction. Guava rounds out this short flavor vocabulary and invites a closer look at the fruit side of the menu.
02 / Between the bread
Make room for the savory side.
A torta brings bread and savory fillings to the table. The paleteria describes traditional Mexican bread and names ham and cheese, or jamón y queso, as one familiar combination. It also introduces torta ahogada, a sauce-centered variation that takes the sandwich in another direction.
These are a useful counterpoint to the fruit and cream of paletas: a different texture, a different temperature and another part of the Mexican food story. Explore the Menu.
03 / A smaller bite
From corn to churros.
Snacks bridge the space between a frozen treat and a sandwich. The introduction includes elote, a Mexican corn dish, and churros, a sweet pastry. One leads toward the savory side; the other keeps the focus on something sweet.
04 / A fresh sip
Aguas frescas.
Fruit-infused beverages complete the picture. Aguas frescas belong alongside the paletas, tortas and snacks as another way to explore fruit in Mexican food and drink.
05 / Keep exploring
