Handcrafted paletas and aguas frescas made fresh every day — the way your abuela intended, served with a smile in the heart of Rio Rancho.
Paleteria La Reina wasn't born from a business plan — it was born from Sunday afternoons, from the sound of a wooden mold being pressed, from the memory of a recipe that tasted like home.
We opened our doors in Rio Rancho with one promise: to make paletas the way they're supposed to be made — with real fruit, real sugar, and real care. No shortcuts. No artificial anything. Just the honest flavors your taste buds remember from childhood.
Every batch is stirred by hand. Every flavor is tested until it's right. And every customer who walks through our door is treated like family — because that's exactly what you are.
