This Entrepreneur Brought Mexican Ice Cream to LA

We met up with the "Godfather of Paletas" on 'THE ICE CREAM SHOW.'

On a new episode of THE ICE CREAM SHOW, host Isaac Lappert's tour of the best ice cream shops in America takes him to Los Angeles, where he stops by Mateo's Ice Cream & Fruit Bars—home of the first Mexican "paletas" to hit LA. Isaac sits down with shop owner Priciliano Mateo to hear why he decided to bring the classic frozen treat from Mexico to Los Angeles, and tour the kitchen where the icy, fruity popsicles get made.
