A Legacy of
Michoacán Tradition
Born from the heart of Michoacán, Mexico — where the art of frozen desserts is not just a craft but a centuries-old tradition — La CoQueta Michoacana Premium 2 brings the authentic flavors you grew up with right here in McHenry.
Every batch is prepared fresh in our kitchen using time-honored recipes passed down through generations. We source only the finest ingredients: real milk, fresh cream, seasonal fruits, and the purest chocolates. No artificial shortcuts. No compromises.
Made the Way
Michoacán Intended
In Michoacán, the birthplace of Mexico's finest frozen desserts, making ice cream is an art form — one that demands patience, skill, and an unwavering commitment to quality.
At La CoQueta, we honor that tradition. Our ice cream is churned slowly in small batches, giving each flavor time to develop its full depth of taste. We use real milk and cream from trusted suppliers, fresh seasonal fruits from local markets, and premium chocolate for our chocolate varieties.

Loved by the Community
This is the closest thing to authentic Michoacán ice cream you'll find outside of Mexico. The crema de vainilla takes me right back to my grandmother's kitchen. Absolutely wonderful.
My kids beg to come here every weekend. The paletas are incredible — real fruit, no artificial stuff. And the churros? Best in the area. The staff is always so welcoming too.
I drove 40 minutes just to try this place and it was worth every mile. The semilla flavor is something I've never been able to find anywhere else. True Michoacán quality.
