Sabor a Tocumbo

Not the greatest picture, but they have the greatest paletas! Their guava paleta was incredible and took me right back to Hawaii. So fresh and refreshing! The brothers who own the business were very kind and took time to explain their products, which are clearly made with pride. Wish I lived closer!

Their sorbet is amazing. We had their popular «Mangonadas» as suggested by the cashier. It is mango sorbet topped with lime juice and real mangos and chile/​chamoy. All of the employees were friendly and this place is very bright, cheery and clean. We will come back soon. A place to go to in summer for sure!

My friend and I came in later in the evening, but they still had a good selection of paleta flavors in both dairy and non dairy options. (I tried the rose petal and guava paletas and they were delicious!)The employee told us they make all the paletas in house, and I could definitely taste a different. The only bad part is that I was visiting from out of town. Otherwise I would have bought a dozen of them to take with me.
I know where I’m stopping next time I’m in Visalia :-)

SMOOTHIE: It was okay. Wasn’t as cold as I expected it. Although It was a wholesome smoothie with no added sugars or sweeteners and made with fresh fruit, so that’s a plus. Simple Ingredients.
I’ve been here before for bionicos and I think I like the bionicos better than the smoothie I just had.

Los choco bananos son ricos! Me encantan. Y tambien me encanta la horchata. Es el lugar perfecto si queres algo dulce.

I love taking my daughter to this place after a long day outdoors, the owners fantastic and his crew are very professional! Fresh products are great for the heart.

I LOVE THIS PLACE!!!
I miss the gang :(the smoothies are boooooomb!!! The fresh waters, ice cream and omg everything!!! I wish I lived closer.
You guys won’t regret it unless you’re picky but you still won’t regret it!

My family and i have been hearing of this establishment for quite sometime, but haven’t had the time to go. Thankfully today was the day to go, and i van assure the owners i will be recommending my friends and family to go.

Mauricio and his crew at Sabor a Tocumbo are really sweet and helpful and welcoming. I had always wanted to try this place so this time while visiting Visalia (which btw, IMO, is not the «anus of California» as another person described it, by any means… beautiful, enchanting night skies here speak for themselves, not to mention the close access to the gorgeous Sierra Nevada area National Parks!!) I made a point of stopping by.
An excellent choice! I actually wanted a iced espresso or an iced mocha, and in addition to a litany of flavorful ice cream/​sorbet treats, they also make a delicious array of real espresso drinks… hot or cold!
But when I saw them making another customer one of their signature mangonadas (yum!), I decided to try one of them too! Also a chocolate shake for my mom! They were so nice, they even made me up a little sample of the mangonada to try! I had never had one before and they are outstanding! A delightful combination of mango sorbet and chili lime and fresh mango and the yummy candy straw!
Everything was prepared with care and all parties who received these treats really enjoyed them
I looked up the name and found the «Tocumbo» refers to a little town known for its ice cream… wow, what a great place to visit, right? Also a creative name for this shop.
Kudos to them for doing it all so well. If your’re in the area and want to try something refreshing, this is your place.

I had 2 raspados… they were good but a lil 2 dry needed more fruit syrup… and over priced on the raspado a LG for $ 5…would come back 2 try other items on the menu… alot 2 choose from… great customer service… cashier was very friendly… and this place looks very clean…

I’m having a hard time writing a review, the same way I was having a hard time trying to make a choice with so many amazing flavors. I decided with the mangonada paleta and OMG delicioso! We also had the mango sorbet and wow. My daughter had the Gansito flavor ice cream and I will never eat/​see a Gansito the same way. I can’t wait to try the rest of the menu. The only thing I didn’t care for is the name.

Def taste as good as it looks! Everything is fresh. To top it off service was great. I got the mangonada and cucumber taco

This place is delicious! Now open 10am-​9pm! Had the Mangoneada; it was so refreshing & delicious! My mouth is still watering thinking about it. They also have some Aguas. The Agua Verde is a deliciously refreshing, thirst quenching water made of cucumber celery & some other fruits. They also sell the waters by the gallon for only $ 8!

I cannot say enough good things about this place. I want to give it 10 stars. I’m very picky about ice cream and I found myself in Visalia with an extra half-​hour and I quickly went to Unilocal to search to see what was around. I was about to go to yogurtland when this interesting place came up and I decided to give it a try. I’m so happy I did. I got the mangonada except with passionfruit sorbet instead of mango since I like things tart. It was incredible, and the guy could not have been nicer, and the other things I tried were amazing.
We ended talking about how he could triple his prices and have lines out the door if this was in NYC. Seriously. Someone needs to bring this to the East Coast. So inventive and amazing I still can taste the tamarind on the straw. Go there and you’ll know what I’m talking about.
OH, and he even gave me a free chocolate Popsicle to try. I mean, come on! Go there now! You won’t regret it.

My husband and I drove up from L.A. to Visalia over the weekend to attend a wedding. The Central Valley is the anus of California… miserably hot and smelly in the summer. Sabor a Tocumbo provides relief from the heat, and offers Mexican frozen treats not easily found in the USA. They sell ice cream, popsickles and other frozen treats in Mexican (and more specifically Sinaloa/​Michoacán) flavours such as mango, tamarind, walnut, burnt milk, hibiscus (Jamaica) and horchata, as well as a limited selection of more traditional American flavours such as chocolate, chocolate chip, strawberry, etc. My husband got a hibiscus popsickle that was refreshingly tart, and then got a tamarind popsickle that was deliciously sweet and sour. I got a concoction called a «Mangonada,» which consists of mango sorbet topped with diced mango, tamarind chili sauce and a straw coated with thick tamarind chili paste. The chili goes perfectly with the mango, and the whole thing was fruity and not at all too sweet. For about half an hour we felt like we were on a beach in Cabo or on the promenade in Los Mochis rather than in such a God-​forsaken place as Visalia.
If I ever find myself within an hour of Visalia again, the first place I’ll head for is Sabor a Tocumbo. And if they ever opened up a franchise in L.A. that would make me the happiest person in town.

Their Popsicles outrank any other sweet in town. Hands down one of my favorite places in Visalia.

Very good tried this for the first time I walked in and I welcomed and the gentle men here were very helpful service was A+ and the mango cup I got was so very good I will be going back again price is very good
A++

This place is a wonderland of deliciousness. So much more than ice cream! Mauricio makes the best coffee in town; ask for his special. Great juice bar of freshly pressed juices. Huge variety of popsicles, both milk and fruit based and you can get any of them dipped in chocolate. There’s always something new and interesting to try. The banana ice cream blew my mind! Strawberry horchata! Mangonadas! Chocolate dipped bananas! The list goes on!

I know it’s still winter but you have to try this place. I tried it for the first time on Sunday and was very impressed ! The staff are very friendly and answer any questions. I ended up trying the coconut (homemade) ice cream. WOW! Every bite is fully of creamy homemade coconut ice cream and has tons of coconut, they don’t skimp on ingredients. My girlfriend tried the sorbet style ice cream. She chose lime and tamarind. Both were refreshing and very very flavorful. I want to go back just to try the other flavors they offer.

This place was so delicious! So fresh and amazing customer service! Going back tomorrow!

All of the products are homemade the popsicle are delicious with a large variety. They have a lot to choose from you just have to find what is your flavor and km sure you won’t be disappointed.
