Our Story

A Tradition
Worth Waiting
For

Mr. Mota began with a simple conviction: that ice cream should taste like the fruit it comes from — not a simulation, but the real thing, bright and true.

Every batch is hand-churned in small quantities, using whole milk, fresh eggs, and fruit sourced at its peak. No shortcuts. No artificial colors. Just time, patience, and a respect for the craft that has defined Mexican ice cream making for centuries.

Located in the heart of Portland, we invite you to slow down, sit a moment, and taste the difference that care makes.

The Process

From Ingredient
to Experience

01

Select

We source the freshest, ripest ingredients — local dairy, seasonal fruit, and the finest cacao — because great ice cream starts long before the churn.

02

Craft

Each flavor is mixed, aged, and slowly churned by hand using traditional methods that preserve texture and intensity of flavor.

03

Serve

Scooped fresh, served with warmth and pride. Every cone and cup is an invitation to savor something made with genuine intention.

The best ice cream I've ever had — you can taste the care in every single bite. It's become our family's weekend tradition.
