Love is Sweeter: New menu items

Sarah Martinez - Reporter

 With February being the month of love, many restaurants have added new limited edition menu items that are sure to capture the spirit of Valentines’ Day with love and heart-themed snacks. At La Michoacanita, they have done just that by incorporating new flavors and colors into some of their older menu items. La Michoacanita is a relatively new food establishment with its ribbon cutting being June 27, 2025; it has a variety of different flavors reminiscent of well-known Mexican snacks as they specialize in ice cream and well-prepared delights. La Michoacanita already has many items that incorporate newer trends online like their Dubai Chocolate shake. Recently, they’ve added a dragonfruit drink, a strawberry shake, flaming corns that say love you and a fun spin on the fresa con crema item with pink sprinkles and heart decor. Each item is carefully made and leaves customers feeling full of the holiday spirit. These new items have anything from sugar to spice with the flaming corn being made with hot cheetos and the milkshakes having delicious strawberry and whipped cream. Outside of La Michocanita, they have cute Valentines’ Day baskets filled with pink and red themed bears, snacks and balloons available for purchase. Inside, they always have fun music playing and an inviting attitude that pairs well with the snacks and flavorful drinks in store. After having tried their new items with family members, it is safe to say that these snacks bring forth a new sense of community. Flavor-wise, the shakes and fresas con crema bring strawberry and chocolatey goodness all together. The dragonfruit beverage is a magenta colored drink that is sweet, fruity and refreshing. These fun snacks are the best with friends and family. February is a time of love and a celebration of relationships between family, friends and partners. These new menu items allow customers to celebrate just that while also allowing them to enjoy the savory and sweet tastes of La Michoacanita.
