Southwest Denver is in line for a serious sugar upgrade. Neveria La Delicia, a family-run paletería that opened in 2020 on West Colfax, is planning a second location in Denver’s Athmar Park at 1725 W Mississippi Ave. The expansion would bring the Lakewood shop's handmade paletas and counter snacks to a busy commercial stretch in Athmar Park. The owners have not announced a public opening date yet.
Where it's going
A food-service license filing with the City of Denver lists Neveria La Delicia at 1725 W Mississippi Ave, according to WhatNow. The address currently hosts Colorado Motorcars, a used-car dealership, per MapQuest. WhatNow also reports the shop did not have a public opening date as of March 27.
From West Colfax to Athmar Park
Neveria La Delicia first opened in 2020 in a cotton candy-hued storefront off West Colfax and now operates from 6601 W Colfax Ave, Unit C in Lakewood, according to Neveria La Delicia. The family business has built a local following for its handmade paletas, crepes, and other snacks, and it advertises takeaway and delivery options on its site. The Lakewood shop’s hours and contact information remain posted there while the team prepares the new Athmar Park outpost.
What they'll serve
Local coverage of the license filing says the shop's specialty is paletas, cream-based Mexican popsicles, with flavors such as dragonfruit and mango, lemon-and-raspberry, and lime-and-cucumber. The menu is also expected to include crepes, elote, and dorinachos. The same piece calls out a Monster "Preperado," a Monster Energy drink dressed up with chamoy, fruit, tajín and lemon. These menu details were reported by WhatNow.
Athmar Park snapshot
Athmar Park is a southwest Denver neighborhood bounded in part by the South Platte River and West Mississippi Avenue, with a mix of residential blocks and small commercial corridors, according to the Athmar Park Neighborhood Association. Local groups emphasize parks, river access and community events that help support neighborhood businesses. A paletería in West Mississippi would join a growing roster of family-friendly and takeout-focused spots in the area.
We will update this story when the shop posts an opening date or offers a comment. For now, the Lakewood location remains the closest place to try Neveria La Delicia's paletas.
