You Must Try This Portland, Maine, Version of the Choco Taco

When Klondike stopped making the Choco Taco, one Portland, Maine, restaurant said - we gotchu.

Klondike's Choco Taco had been around for about 40 years, and they decided to stop making them. That news was an arrow through my heart and the hearts of everyone who loves the handheld ice cream treat.

I vowed to find a local version.

I not only found a Choco Taco but also found my new favorite place for all things taco.

It's called Bird & Co. in Portland on Deering Avenue (across from Big Sky Bakery).

Where can I find Bird & Co in Portland, Maine?

Tucked behind the outdoor seating (which is wicked cute) there is this tiny slice of heaven called Bird & Co - Tacos, Cocktails, Beer. Three of my favorite food groups.

They are also the maker of their own version of the Choco Taco, which makes you wonder why Klondike even attempted it in the first place.

This amazing treat comes two to an order for $10. I could easily eat both, but I shared.

So if you've been missing your old friend the Choco Taco, head to Bird & Co immediately. Homemade waffle taco shell, pistachios, chocolate, and cookie dough ice cream!

Holy crap are these delightful! Duh. There is NO reason to miss that Klondike thing. So when you go to Bird & Co to get your taco and beer fix, SAVE ROOM for these treats! I'm not kidding. I was having one of those days and this little handful of comfort turned my frown upside down.

I have found my new addiction and I couldn't be happier!
