How would you translate the little pushcarts that the paleteros use to sell their paletas? Carreta or carrito or something else?
Thanks, Bill

Hey, Bill, I'm in San Francisco (and grew up in Sacramento), and the paleteros use carritos around here. At least that's what I've heard them called. Of course, there may be more than one way to refer to the thing. Carrito is also used for shopping cart.

¡Huy, me has dado ganas de agarrarme una paleta! Una de crema de fresa... Mmm, se me hace agua en la boca.

Thanks, I'll try carrito and see what happens!

I'm in the US, northern California, and the paletero is from Michoacan, Mexico.
