“It all started with my grandfather, Mr. José Dolores Moo Baas here in Maxcanú in 1940, generally many have known him as Don Cheto. The name for the Champolas was Don CHETO. And when people told him that he was bringing a “box full of surprises”, hence the name of the ice cream shop “La Sorpresa” was born.
