Our Story

Rooted in Tradition,
Served With Pride

San Jose Paleterias Y Dulcerias was founded on a simple conviction: that great frozen desserts deserve the same respect as any craft. Every batch is prepared with attention to detail that goes beyond the ordinary.

Our recipes draw from Mexican tradition — the kind passed down through families and refined over decades. The result is a product line that feels both familiar and distinctly our own.

Located in the heart of Moline, we've become a destination for residents who value quality over convenience and authenticity over shortcuts.
