Excuse us – paletas. The common Spanish word for our beloved summer popsicle treat, the frozen fruit pops have made a name for themselves as the star of the aptly named, Las Paletas. Located in 12 South and owned by wildly inventive sisters Irma and Norma Paz, the two attribute their love of the treats to their childhood in Mexico. Las Paletas infuses Nashville with a bit of culture and a lot of delicious – it won’t take long to realize why this tiny shop in Nashville is so popular.

Las Paletas - Yelp Curious to learn about this darling Tennessee gem? The shop opened in 2001, and has become a cult classic in Music City.

Las Paletas - TripAdvisor A humble exterior that holds a wild penchant for deliciousness, you can find Las Paletas at 2911 12th Avenue South.

Daniel Ziemans - Flickr The menu is simple, some paletas evergreen whereas other tend to be seasonal. The Paz sisters have a sweet heart and edge on the business world, and have created multiple flavors at the request of their popsicle ravenous customers.

Las Paletas - TripAdvisor There are two types of paletas to choose from: fruit or cream based. The first takes on the tangy flavor of the fruit base, whereas the second is reminiscent of an ice cream bar.

Dan - Flickr We. Love. AVOCADO. It may sound quirky, and sure you can be safe with a watermelon pop, but the avocado cream based paleta is seriously decadent.
