The Perfect Pairing: Celebrate National Ice Cream Day in Lombard

Celebrate National Ice Cream Day in Lombard!

Summer in the Chicagoland area is all about enjoying the outdoors, soaking up the sun, and, of course, indulging in incredible local food. At El Famous Burrito, we are all about bringing you the best authentic, street-style Mexican flavors. But we also know that every great savory meal deserves a spectacular sweet ending.

That is why we are so excited about National Ice Cream Day this year. While we will be busy serving up your favorite tacos, burritos, and tortas at our Lombard location, our friends over at Moo Joe's Ice Cream are bringing the sweetness to the neighborhood with an unmissable deal!

The Savory and Sweet Combo You Need

Here is the perfect game plan for this July: start your meal with the bold, savory spices of our traditional Mexican recipes. Whether you are craving the rich taste of our Carne Asada tacos or the satisfying crunch of our nachos, our Lombard location has your cravings covered.

Then, to cool down and celebrate the season, head over to snag a complimentary dessert.

July is National Ice Cream Month, and this year, National Ice Cream Day officially falls on Sunday, July 19, 2026. However, the celebrations are spilling over! Moo Joe's Ice Cream, famous for their super-premium, Wisconsin-made treats and their massive 14% butterfat richness, is taking the party to the streets.

How to Get Your Free Moo Joe's Ice Cream

To mark the occasion, Moo Joe's is hosting a massive National Ice Cream Day Tour on Monday, July 20, 2026. Their brand new, 100% electric "Moo Joe's on Wheels" food truck will be making stops throughout the Chicagoland area giving away free scoops of their award-winning ice cream.

Even better? You can also find Moo Joe's premium ice cream served right inside the Billy Bricks location in Lombard (2770 S Highland Ave), making it incredibly convenient to pair your El Famous Burrito lunch or dinner with a premium dessert.

For the exact schedule of the ice cream truck tour and to see all the mouth-watering flavors they offer (including their famous Fizzy Shakes!), be sure to visit the official Moo Joe's Ice Cream website.
