I wouldn't recommend if you're not a fan of very sweet desserts/ice cream. Overall it was pretty good, but too sweet for my tastes. It was still nice to try the rainbow ice cream though for the experience, and after a long walk at the Shedd Aquarium. The cup was a lot larger than I had expected. It was quite a bit of ice cream to have. A couple could share one cup pretty easily in my opinion. You lose the aesthetic value when ordering in a cup, but it's much easier to eat than in a cone.

Was beyond thrilled to see the ORC truck in Schererville, IN parked in front of Bueno and immediately turned around to confirm it was not just wishful thinking or an apparition on my part. The Orginal Rainbow Cone is as delicious, cool, and refreshing now as it was back then during my childhood. Like everything else, cost of a cone went up, but we'll its worth it. The server was extremely pleasant and accommodating. Hope it's a permanently fixture!

After checking out the Shedd Aquarium, I wanted to try the Original Rainbow Cone, which has been a Chicago staple since 1926. It was ready within minutes of placing the order. The waffle cone was stacked with slices of Chocolate Ice Cream, Strawberry Ice Cream, Palmer House Ice Cream, Pistachio Ice Cream, and Orange Sherbet. It was delicious and a great way to cool off on a hot summer day!
