PACO POPS
My name is Francisco “Paco,” and Paco Pops represents something close to my heart—Francisco’s Popsicles.
I grew up in Mexico, where I was introduced to the art of making ice cream and popsicles while working at my aunt’s shop. That experience sparked a lifelong passion for creating frozen treats, and over the years, I began experimenting in my own kitchen, carefully crafting and handwriting my own unique recipes.
For a long time, opening my own ice cream shop was just a dream—until life took an unexpected turn. After a severe car accident left me facing a long recovery and the reality that I could no longer work in construction, I found myself at a crossroads. Instead of giving up, I turned to something that had always brought me joy—making ice cream and popsicles.
With the unwavering support of my family, I dusted off my old recipe book and got to work. After months of planning, researching, and building out the shop, Paco Pops officially opened its doors in April 2019.
Today, Paco Pops is more than just a shop—it’s a place where handmade quality meets Texas-sized passion. Every popsicle and scoop of ice cream is made with care, using fresh ingredients and flavors inspired by both my heritage and the vibrant community in Porter, TX.
Whether you’re a longtime local or just passing through, we invite you to stop by, cool off, and enjoy a taste of something truly special.
Welcome to Paco Pops—where every bite tells a story!
OUR MENU CONCEPT
At Paco Pops, we believe great flavors start with real ingredients and a hands-on approach. That’s why every popsicle and scoop of ice cream is made from scratch using fresh, handpicked fruit—cut by hand and blended with care. With over 80 unique flavors, you’ll not only taste the freshness but also see it, with chunks of real fruit in every bite.
We love bringing bold and exciting flavors to our community, offering a mix of familiar favorites and exotic fruits that might surprise you. Every visit to Paco Pops is an opportunity to discover something new!
More Than Just Popsicles
In addition to our handmade frozen treats, we also serve a variety of Mexican delicacies packed with flavor. From nachos and elotes (corn in a cup) to fresh fruit cocktails, mangonadas, and creamy milkshakes, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. Some of our signature favorites include:
• Paco’s Corn & Chips – A flavorful twist on traditional street corn
• Paco’s Loco Chips – A bold and spicy snack for those who like a little kick
