Fragola Yogurt And Ice Cream
7.9
A neighborhood frozen-treat counter that shines in straightforward builds—soft-serve style cups, yogurt, and classic sundaes—plus Mexican-style snacks that make it a reliable after-school or quick family stop. It lands best as a simple, repeatable order rather than a high-stakes destination dessert run.
