🌸Why You Should Always Stop at La Michoacana Plus — Especially the One in Red Bluff

(A Hot Finds on the Road Spotlight)

The bold pop-art mural sets the tone the second you walk in — fun, bright, and impossible not to smile at.

Some stops on a road trip are planned… and some just pull you in with bright colors, giant murals, and the promise of something sweet.

That’s exactly what happened when Jaxon and I walked into La Michoacana Plus during our Red Bluff day trip — and honestly, and honestly, it was such a fun surprise that it deserves its own spotlight in my Hot Finds on the Road series.

And here’s the fun part:

I later learned that La Michoacana Plus locations are sprinkled all across California — and now I completely understand why. Once you visit one, you suddenly start seeing them everywhere. They’re bright, bold, and impossible to resist.

This place is vibrant, playful, and packed with treats that make you feel like a kid again. And if you’re doing a quick getaway from Sacramento, it’s the stop that turns an ordinary day trip into a memory.

🍧 Why La Michoacana Plus Red Bluff Stands Out

The moment you open the door, you're hit with:

✨ Color everywhere — murals, candy-colored decor, neon signs

✨ Instagram-worthy corners — perfect for a cute photo moment

✨ Endless treat options — paletas, ice cream, fruit cups, mangonadas, aguas frescas

✨ A fun, family-friendly vibe — lively, welcoming, and full of energy

It’s the kind of place that makes everyone smile — adults, teens, little ones … and yes, moms on day trips with their growing-too-fast teens who still let you take selfies.

If there’s a set of glowing pink wings, you know we’re stopping for a picture.

This wall pretty much sums up the vibe — playful, bold, and absolutely Insta-worthy.

Bright booths, bold murals — every inch of this place is camera-ready.

🍦 What We Tried

We wanted something refreshing, so we grabbed:

• Ice cream scoops (rich, creamy, and not overly sweet)

• A fruity treat that hit the perfect balance of tart + sweet

• A quick photo-op because the place literally begs for it

Everything tasted fresh and flavorful — but honestly, the experience was just as enjoyable as the food.

A scoop of happiness — simple, sweet, and the perfect treat for a Red Bluff day trip.
