Growing up, Bay Area native Lori Phillips had a particular love for chocolate ice cream tacos. She has fond memories of visiting Taco Bell as a child, just to order a Choco Taco — the waffle cone taco shell with fudge-swirled ice cream that Klondike recently announced has been discontinued after 39 years.⁠ ⁠ At the time, Phillips never could have imagined she’d later start her own business dedicated to creating revamped versions of the ice cream treat. In fact, it wasn’t until she tried it again as an adult and was hit with a wave of nostalgia that she felt a desire to improve on the now-defunct novelty dessert. ⁠ ⁠ Phillips, the founder of Rocko’s Ice Cream Tacos in Santa Clara, is devoted to handcrafting intact, texturally satiating tacos filled with velvety ice cream, dipped in a chocolate or peanut butter coating and topped with crispy, crunchy additions.⁠ ⁠ For the full story behind @rockosicecreamtacos tap the link in our bio. ⁠ ⁠ 📍 : @rockosicecreamtacos, 2905 Park Avenue, Santa Clara⁠ 📸 + ✍🏼 : @cathygpark
