Almitas Chamoy and Ice Cream Shop

Update: The tamales were definitely old as my husband and I are now both sick. (We warmed up 6. My husband ate about 1 1/2 and I ate about a 1/2 in total. Just that much has made us both sick. The rest of the ones we warmed up went in the trash. Now the other 6 we put in the fridge will definitely be going in the trash. A waste of fifty something dollars.) Original: We went specifically for tamales since we’re in the process of moving and I couldn’t make them myself. We ordered a dozen. 6 chicken and 6 pork. We waited close to 30 minutes. First the price was shockingly expensive. What made things worse was when we got home they were cold as if they had been pulled from the freezer and they tried to warm them up. They tasted old, the masa was hard and dry. The masa nor the filling had any

First, I would like to praise the staff. They are always fast and polite. Second, I usually get ice cream, gelato, or sherbet. There are several different flavors. Oh and elotes. I know it's a weird combination, but it works for me. This time, I stepped outside of my comfort zone and tried something new. I went with the Chilindrina (steak), minus anything spicy. It's big and I left with a full stomach. I did get a small elotes to go with it. Next time, yes there will be a next time, I will try one of the fruit dishes.

I love this place, I dont come often as I live far away. I love the atmosphere and my favorite is Peppino Loca. I forgot it came with mango and I didnt tell the staff, and when I realized my mistake they made me another without mango. They were exceptionally kind. I was really embarrassed to ask, because I should have remembered, but they were so nice even when I made the mistake. Anyway, you should try Almitas! They have ice cream and all kinds of snacks, and they have chamoy made in house that is genuinely so good. I have brought friends here before and anytime in in the area I stop by.

Best mangonada I’ve ever had!! Great vibes and service. I absolutely love the inside it’s very cute and lively def recommend for a cost friendly treat!!

After previously living in an area with a Mexican Dessert Shop, I was so excited to see there was one nearby when we moved to North Little Rock! Almita’s is a super cute little dessert and snack restaurant with food ranging from paletas (popsicles), horchata, ice cream, Mexican snack cakes, Takis, elote, to chicharrones. The interior is adorable and very clean. We got the gansito ice cream and it was delicious and served quickly. Highly recommend checking them out. I’m hoping they’ll add churros to the menu next as my favorite combo is churros with gansito ice cream on top.
