La Real de Michoacán: Antojitos, Ice Cream y Más

Some places specialize in desserts. Others lean into savory street snacks. La Real de Michoacán does both and more. This family-run spot in Henderson delivers a full spectrum of Mexican flavors—icy, spicy, crunchy, creamy, and citrusy. One menu, a hundred textures, all tied together by tradition and a deep love for the food they grew up with.

Family First, Michoacán Flavor Always

La Real de Michoacán is proudly Latino-owned and operated, run by a family with deep Michoacán roots. This place is built on more than food—it’s built on shared culture, flavors, and time-honored recipes.

You can feel the love and labor in everything they serve, whether it’s a spicy snack or a creamy dessert. The atmosphere is colorful and casual, a place where regulars are greeted with warmth and newcomers feel instantly at home.

Their focus stays true to their origins, serving up a menu that reflects real food from their hometown. That includes ice cream flavors that are hard to find anywhere else.

I visited this place on a Sunday during the summer and the place was buzzing with people! Vegas can really hot so the sweet cold treats definitely serve as a refresher.

Cold, Creamy, and Unapologetically Mexican

Ice cream at La Real de Michoacán goes beyond the basics. Here, soft serve and frozen bars reflect beloved Mexican flavors. Mazapán is nutty and sweet, with that unmistakable flavor of crushed peanut candy. Ferrero Rocher blends chocolate and hazelnut into a creamy, rich swirl that feels indulgent but never heavy.

The Mazapán ice cream is an absolute must-try for anyone visiting here. It literally tastes exactly like the crushed peanuts and sugary treat.

Other flavors include birthday cake, flan, gansito, and mint Oreo—each one smooth, cold, and packed with personality. If you like variety, their ice cream bars offer dozens of ways to cool off, whether you want something fruity or creamy.

And the best part? The flavors are bold, nostalgic, and made fresh in-house. Their dessert options flow naturally into their lineup of crave-worthy snacks.

Snacks with Bite, Crunch, and Crave

When it comes to antojitos—classic Mexican street snacks—La Real de Michoacán brings the full lineup. Tosti locos are a wild mix of tortilla chips tossed with cueritos (pickled pork skin), crunchy peanuts, lime, hot sauce, and chamoy, creating a spicy, tangy, and addictively crunchy bite.

Elotes (corn on the cob) and esquites (corn in a cup) are both dressed in layers of crema, cheese, chili powder, and lime, turning roasted corn into something bold and flavorful.

If you’re leaning toward something sweet and tangy, their fresh-cut fruit cups come topped with chamoy, lime juice, and Tajín—adding a chili-lime kick to every bite. Fresas con crema is a soft, chilled dessert made with fresh strawberries and sweetened cream, simple and refreshing.

Churros are deep-fried until golden, coated in cinnamon sugar, and crisp on the outside with a soft, doughy center.

Each antojito brings its own mix of spice, sweetness, and texture, so you can try a little of everything or stick to a favorite. And when the craving shifts from snacks to seafood, La Real de Michoacán has plenty of mariscos to explore.

Mariscos That Hit Like A Wave

If you’re in the mood for seafood, the mariscos menu is stacked with vibrant, spicy flavors. El Sinaloense ceviche has raw shrimp soaked in lime juice with cucumber, onion, tomato, and avocado. El Tropical adds mango and coconut to the mix, giving it a fruity and tangy twist.

Aguachiles are the star—raw shrimp served in spicy green, red, or black salsa, each one fresh and fiery. El Hawaiiano takes things further with strawberries, mango, and coconut in every bite. The seafood is fresh, well-seasoned, and packed with texture.

Whether you’re new to mariscos or already a fan, there’s a style here that hits just right. Once the heat kicks in, the drink menu offers the perfect way to cool off.

Sip Something That Slaps

La Real’s drinks are colorful, cold, and made with real fruit. Aguas frescas come in flavors like horchata, strawberry, and watermelon—each one icy and easy to sip. Their mangoñada is a customer favorite, mixing mango, chamoy, and Tajín into a layered sweet-and-spicy treat.

If you’re feeling bold, grab a michelada with its salty, tangy, and spicy flavor. Or cool off with a refresca made with Red Bull for a fizzy energy boost. Every drink here adds to the full flavor experience and pairs well with something from every part of the menu.

When you’ve had your fill of food, dessert, and drinks, there’s only one thing left to do.
