Our Story

From Mexico to Johnson City, One Paleta at a Time

Paletería isn't just a shop — it's a piece of home. We bring the vibrant street-paleta tradition of Mexico straight to the heart of Johnson City, using recipes that have been cherished in our family for generations.

Every morning, we source the freshest fruits and premium ingredients to handcraft each batch. No artificial colors, no shortcuts — just the honest, bold flavors you'd find at a mercado in Mexico City. Whether you're craving a classic mango or something adventurous like chamoy-lime, we've got a paleta waiting for you.

Fresh Daily

Made every morning, sold every day. Nothing sits around.

Family Made

Recipes passed down, love poured into every stick.
