Hella Halo is a food stand that serves up Halo Halo, a popular Filipino cold desert that is full of delicious sweet treats. Since Hella Halo isn't your typical restaurant, you won't find them every day of the week, and you won't find them in the same place either. You'll have to check their Instagram for where they will show up next! So if you haven't already followed them, check out @hellahalo_sac on Instagram for all their latest news.
Food -
What you'll find when you arrive at Hella Halo is a small menu of different styles of halo halo. If you haven't had it before, it's a mixture of many ingredients such as ice-cream, crushed ice, evaporated milk, ube, sweet beans, coconut strips, sago, fruit, flan, and a few more that I can't think of off the top of my head. It has a uniquely Asian flavor that is quite exotic and good. I love it because there is so much variety available in this single dessert.
Being a cold dessert, halo halo is perfect for Sacramento. This amazing concoction will cool you down on those hot summer days out in the city. The OG is their standard halo halo, but you can also get other varieties such as a matcha version for those of you who enjoy something a little different.
Hella Halo serves up other delicious Filipino food items alongside their halo halo when they are out and about. You'll just have to show up to find out what they have in store for you!
Service/Atmosphere -
I found the folks manning the Hella Halo booth to be very friendly and joyful - and very easy to talk to! They are great about answering questions and seem to have a passion for their food. You can tell that they love serving up this delicious food to their patrons.
Being a food stand, Hella Halo will most likely be situated near other food stands also selling their unique creations. You can't go wrong with an atmosphere like this!
Price -
The halo halo desserts go from eight dollars and up. It's not the cheapest dessert out there as compared to a milk shake it seems a bit high, but you are getting ingredients that are not common to the Sacramento area. The dessert itself is actually quite large and will definitely be able to top you off if you have the whole thing.
Special Tips and Recommendations -
I suggest going for the OG halo halo before trying any of the other specialty flavors as it's always good to get a baseline taste of what the original should taste like. If you come with a group, then try to get as many different ones as possible and share!
Bottom Line -
Halo halo is such a great dessert and perfect for us here in Sacramento. Hella Halo does a really nice job of giving its customers top notch versions of it. Go ahead and check them out on Instagram so that you can find out where they will pop up next!
