A family tradition, scooped fresh for San Antonio
Helados Aranda was born from a love of the paletas and helados that defined our childhood in Mexico. What began as a family recipe is now a celebration of authentic Mexican flavor — made by hand, every single day.
Our history, mission & vision
A family story that crossed borders — still being written, one scoop at a time.
From Arandas to San Antonio
Siblings Karina, Humberto, and Brenda of the Guzmán Morales family left Detroit for San Antonio to launch an ice cream business rooted in Arandas, Jalisco — a trade inspired by their mother, Margarita Morales Ramírez. The first paletería opened in July 2014. Brothers Saul, Juan David, and Hugo later joined to strengthen the vision. Today, with three locations, a distribution center, and a team treated like family, the story is still being written.
