Looking for a Mexican heladeria near Madison

I'm trying to serve Mexican ice cream and/or paletas for a July 4 barbecue I'm preparing at a friend's house in Madison. I know where to get these where I live (Wilmington, DE) but I don't think they'd survive 2.5 hours in the car! Any suggestions within an easy drive of Madison?

    Can't tell you specifically where, but Morristown has a stretch of Latin Am restaurants/stores along Speedwell Avenue...you might have some luck there--and it's just a few miles from Madison.

    In Madison proper, I'd be shocked if you can find this (Madison is a very NON-ethnic town)--but you might call David's Rumba Cafe (yes, that's really the name) and ask if they know of a place within close reach. The owners are from El Salvador but have been here for 20+ years according to their About Us page, and their restaurant is in Madison. www.davidsrumba.com

      Thanks! I'll do some Googling in Morristown to see if I can find where you're talking about.

      I know that Madison is as white bread as it gets, so I was assuming I'd have to drive east or west to find what I need!
