Tropicana’s banana popsicles will cool you off

• A guava and banana popsicle makes a proper double dip.

Banana-flavored goods are all too often tales of disappointment. The banana is too prominent or hyper-present, like a dessert form of Laffy Taffy. But the banana paletas (popsicles) at the West Side’s Paleteria Tropicana (830 Southwest Boulevard) strike the right balance at a very wallet-friendly price of $1.79.
