Padrino's Pops

Why We Love It: Perfect for a hot Nashville summer, these homemade popsicles, or paletas, really pop with exotic and surprising flavors like hibiscus and tamarind. Proprietor Lorena Mendoza Cantu is a third generation paleta maker, following in her grandfather and father’s footsteps by owning and operating her own paleteria, Padrino’s Pops. Check them out at their Libscomb area brick and mortar, or catch them at one of their many popsicle carts about town during warmer months.
