4:23
The Rojas brothers have been perfecting their ice cream recipes for the past 15 years, but their story does not begin in Philadelphia. The Rojas grew up in Guerrero, Mexico, helping their family make traditional homemade ice cream to sell at the town’s fairs. With no industrialized equipment at home, they spun wooden buckets full of fruit, milk, or water on salted ice. After working in the orchards of the Pacific Northwest, Gabriel was joined by his brother, Antonio. They decided to embark on their journey of bringing Mexican ice cream to the Philadelphia area after Antonio returned to Mexico to attend culinary school so he could bring the recipes back and they could innovate new ones. Now their ice cream parlor La Guerrerense wows ice cream aficionados with close to a hundred complex ice cream and popsicle flavors. "Everyday we are working to better ourselves", Gabriel Says, "So you can have Mexican products made with passion in this country”.
