About
As of 2026, it's 43 years old.
The Choco Taco was an ice cream novelty shaped like a taco for absolutely no reason other than 'why not,' which is honestly the most American thing imaginable. A waffle-cone shell folded around vanilla ice cream, fudge, and a chocolate-peanut coating — the ice cream truck's most ambitious structural achievement.
When it was discontinued in 2022, the public outcry was so loud you'd have thought a national monument had closed. People, it turns out, do not forgive easily when frozen dessert is involved.
Sweet, crunchy, and gone too soon, the Choco Taco is the rare snack whose discontinuation became genuine, front-page grief.
