Eat This Taco: New Ice Cream Tacos at Pokey O's!
Walking into Pokey O’s (which has been around for seven years! Go Pokey!), I was more than psyched to try the Ice Cream Taco, the newest personalized creation at the cookies-and-ice-cream empire. I was in for a treat. Not since Taco Bueno introduced the Choco Taco have I been this excited about a dessert-based taco.
Here’s how the Ice Cream Taco process works. You can buy pre-made creations (if you’re worried you might screw this up — don’t worry, you can’t), at 3/$10. Or for $3.49 each, you can build your own. It goes something like this:
First you pick your waffle cone. Regular or chocolate (which reportedly tastes like Cocoa Puffs). I went with regular.
Next, you choose your ice cream flavor(s). I chose 11-year-old me’s two favorite Blue Bell flavors: mint chocolate chip and cookies ‘n cream.
Then, you choose your housemade shell (like the Magic Shell stuff you had as a kid, only better). Dark chocolate was my choice.
Lastly, you choose a topping from the list pictured above. I went with Oreos because more Oreos = more better.
Here’s the result. 11-year-0ld me and today’s me were in heaven.
My friend @ohheydallas designed a pretty, pretty taco. This one had blueberry cobbler and cookie dough ice creams, white chocolate shell and rainbow sprinkles.
Another taco fan enjoyed this chocolate waffle stuffed with mocha almond fudge ice cream, topped with peanut butter shell and chocolate sprinkles. Nice work all around.

NOTE: This tasting today was a media event. There were delicious snacks, cute decorations and my ice cream taco was free. Just so you know.
