If you're looking for a fun, flavorful way to cool down in Hochatown, La Vaquita Ice Cream Factory is your go-to destination. This local gem isn’t just an ice cream shop—it’s a full-on flavor experience inspired by authentic Mexican treats, crafted with bold, fresh ingredients that hit the sweet (and savory) spot every time. Whether you're exploring Hochatown or headed back to your Utmost Host cabin from a lake day, this sweet stop is the perfect way to chill out and treat yourself.
What makes La Vaquita stand out isn’t just the colorful vibe and friendly atmosphere—it’s their unique menu that brings a delicious twist to traditional ice cream fare. Yes, they have the scoops, cones, and over-the-top milkshakes you’d expect, but you’ll also find crepes, paletas, and savory snacks like elote (Mexican street corn) that make this more than just a dessert stop. It’s a full-on treat-yourself kind of place with something for everyone.
Let’s talk ice cream. La Vaquita offers classic and creative flavors by the scoop or swirled into milkshakes stacked with toppings. You can grab a rich chocolate shake piled high with whipped cream and cookies or try something tropical like mango or coconut that’s perfect for a hot Oklahoma day. Want something more adventurous? Their mangonadas—a blend of mango sorbet, chamoy, and tajín—deliver a spicy-sweet kick that’s both refreshing and unforgettable.
But don’t stop at the freezer case. One of the most popular menu items is their elote—a savory corn treat slathered in mayo, cheese, lime, and chili powder. It’s messy in the best way and pairs surprisingly well with a sweet treat on the side. You’ll also find made-to-order crepes, filled with fruit, Nutella, or even ice cream for a decadent dessert combo that hits every craving at once.
And if you’re craving something cold and hand-held, La Vaquita’s paletas (Mexican popsicles) are a must-try. These frozen treats come in creamy or fruity varieties—think strawberries and cream, pineapple-chili, Dubai-inspired, or tamarind—for a refreshing snack that’s easy to enjoy on the go. They're colorful, tasty, and just the right size for little hands or mid-day pick-me-ups.
