EL GLACIAR – Mexican
El Glaciar is a small Mexican paleteria on South Highland Avenue in Clearwater, a neighborhood stop for handmade paletas rather than a sit-down restaurant. The frozen pops come in fruit and cream styles, with coffee, strawberries-and-cream and coconut among the flavors customers mention most often, made in the traditional style rather than the mass-produced version found at supermarkets. It is a simple, counter-service operation aimed at a quick treat rather than a full meal. Reviewers describe the paletas as authentic and consistently good, and the shop has built a loyal following among locals looking for real Mexican-style ice pops nearby.
