From Fany Gerson's "Paletas: Authentic Recipes for Mexican Ice Pops, Shaved Ice, and Agua Frescas."
With the onslaught of summer, paletas (Latin American ice pops) typically made from fruit, are a cool solution when it comes to taking a break from the Valley's hell-hot heat.

And if we can't get the icy, sweet treat from one of the many carts seen roaming the city's sidewalks, we like to pop into these seven spots in the Valley.
