Alegre Ice Cream

I was craving some Mexican Icecream so stopped by here to check it out. The lady I am guessing the owner was very nice and greeted us in Spanish when we walked in. I got a scoop of Tres Leche and got my daughter a scoop of Vanilla. The ice cream is homemade and really good. The prices are decent as well! The tables inside to eat on are higher than the chairs/​stools which was uncomfortable for us. They also sell other mexican snacks and elote.

This place has some unique icream ideas that cater to the «culture» in EP. I am always up to try new things and really like that this place has twists on old favorites like the banana split.

I was crazy enough to try this place on a cold night. I have such a sweet tooth. This ice cream place is a bit small, maybe 5 tables, booth, and some a few seating outside. BUT, they have a many flavors and options to choose from! I wish I could have tried their horchata, but I already had ice cream and dinner. Lol. I don’t think my friend could carry me out.
Their ice cream was great! Not too sweet and the texture was soft and creamy. You can taste the homemade goodness! :D The flavor of my pistachio ice cream was a bit light, but I still enjoyed it. The price you pay for a cup or a cone is the same. So no worries! I’m sure to come back and try their horchata (and other flavored drinks). :) I don’t speak spanish nor read, but the cashier explained that they served other food products so not everything is ice cream. :) one of the snacks I saw a few people bought was (I’m not sure how to spell this) chilidrinas. Made my mouth water.

So coming from south Florida I expected more quality in everything in El Paso. I came to this ice cream shop after reading all the reviews. My daughter had strawberry ice cream with sprinkles, I had the corn in a cup. Omg what a big mistake… I didn’t get corn in a cup I received a soup of corn in a cup, the corn was not cooked right, the color of the corn was almost white with no flavor. Service was ehhh the two people working were not ashamed of talking about their private life out loud! Never again.

I was looking for an authentic Mexican heladeria and I found Alegre. I drove 20 minutes to get there and I was not disappointed. The service was great. All the ice creams are homemade. I tried jicama, coconut and gansitos. There were all delish. They have a great variety of homemade paletas. In this heat, it was the perfect relief.

Home made ice cream. We were taken here by my aunt that is a regular, we loved it and will definitely go back when we’re in town to enjoy their delicious ice cream flavors.

An outsider coming to El Paso on business, and after a warm and dry day of work, I needed something refreshing. I honestly though of stopping at a chain ice cream joint, like a Marble Slab or something, but instead I scrolled through Unilocal ( Unilocal has never disappointed once!), and there it was this «Alegre Ice Cream» place, so I decided to drive a few extra miles and give them a try. They sure didn’t disappoint at all! It was delicious! They make their own ice creams! And they all taste so very good! (You can get spoon size samples). I had the Banana Split with Strawberry and Ferrero Ice Cream. It was fantastic! Dressed with all the goddies like a proper Banana Split. I left the place feeling like their name states «Alegre»! I’d really recommend this place! Oh, and kudos to the lady that took care of me. She was very helpful, and friendly.

Wow… I did not know this little gem was hiding in El Paso for the last two years! Fresh homemade ice-​cream that will knock your socks off! I had the banana split with 3 different flavors, Ferrero Rocher, Strawberry Cheesecake, and Tres Leches! They were all bomb but the best one was the Tres Leches. My gf had a mango with chile ice cream bar that was just as amazing. They also had chocolate covered bananas, nachos, Elote, and about 50 other things to choose from. I got 3 scoops of ice cream with toppings and one ice cream bar for $ 6!!!

I can’t complain, I have a sweet tooth so anything is good after a meal. I really recommend the banana split. The ice cream is house made and delicious.
The service is a little slow but you go in there too relax not rush. Go to sonic if you want it FAST, I don’t. Quality!!!

Friendly Staff Ice cream was very good and they let you sample ice cream… I didn’t give 5 stars because theirs always room for improvement…

Tried new things here and they all were AMAZING!
— strawberries & cream popsicle: Sweet cream goes well with those huge chunks of strawberry in it. Not overwhelming creamy and freshing. Get this!
— mango & chamoy popsicle: Delicious! Chunks of mango with that chile… like I’m eating candy, but cold! So good.
— Horchata: THE BEST. Wow, their horchata is the best I’ve ever tasted. It wasn’t too watery nor had too much cinnamon. It was sweet, but not too sweet. It’s really delicious, I couldn’t stop drinking it. Actually, I would call this refreshing as well. It has a lot of flavor! The large size is also super cheap. I honestly bought a large and saved it for the next few days, lol. Why not? It’s so goooood.
— Chilindrinas: Had this for the first time. A lot of customers seemed to order this and we just had to try it! Basically, there is thick and crispy cracker at the bottom (taste and texture reminds me of Asian shrimp crackers) with chopped lettuce, cucumber, and avocado, drizzled with this specific brand of hot sauce and crema – sort of like a salad. As plain as it looked, do not be fooled. IT IS AMAZING. WOW. Sprinkle the lime juice all over, get a chunk of the cracker with the salad and BAM… crunch from the veggies, creaminess from the avocado, saltiness and crunch from the cracker, and a little kick and tartness from the sauce… SO GOOD. Wow… I was FLOORED. LOVED THIS DISH. It’s a great snack to share between a small group of people (depending on how much you want to share!) that is refreshing and full of flavor. I would totally get this again!!!
Overall, love, love, love this place! Makes me feel like a kid again :).
