This place is absolutely worth the hype. I always want to try everything on the menu because I only go once a year! Staff are friendly, but they get very busy, so wait times are slow. It's super cute inside. You will not be disappointed in any dessert or snack. I love love love all of the options. Everything is definitely shareable too. Huge portions. read more

Vargas Fruiteria - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Fort Smith, Arkansas

No one in this place is able to comprehend or communicate in English. The his is not a bash review. But maybe hire a couple of bilingual people and see what happens then. The language barrier has prevented us from receiving the correct items on more than one occasion. This is a great place! But could definitely use a few bilingual employees. read more

Vargas Fruiteria - Store inside - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Fort Smith, Arkansas

The desserts are fun and really good. If it's busy there will be no place to sit, it is a very tiny place. So we usually get ours to go.

Wow!! Huge variety and super tasty drink and dessert items!! Highly recommend off the beaten path.

The best rolled ice cream in town. I can't remember the flavor i scholar but it was so good and even the next day since the serving was so much it had to be spared for the next day. The fruit cups look amazing to say the least and I can't wait to revisit for my next option. read more

I got the blueberry Horchata and it was really good but wish they had mini ones because that is a lot of calories (but I will freeze the rest). I went there just as it opened at 12:00Pm So no one in my way and only 1 person working and she was really friendly . I would have gave this place a 5 star but no small or mini sizes. read more

This is crazy. There are a billion fruit and ice cream options including enormous milkshakes with cookies and cotton candy hanging off them. As you can see, I went with the Nutella banana crepe. read more

First off, the place smells bad. They need to take the trash out more frequently because spoiled fruit stinks. Secondly, there are no posted prices on anything. If you ask the price of a menu item, it triggers a conversation in Spanish between the employees as if they have to take a vote to decide what to charge. Additionally, the employees are dismissive, vacant and rude. I stood for several minutes waiting to be acknowledged. There was no line, they weren't that busy, but nobody offered to help me until I spoke up, then it was an obvious annoyance. All I wanted was a waffle cone and a mangonada. Even though the pictures are on the menu, I was unable to convey my wishes to anyone who understood at all, and never did get a solid answer about price. I looked around to see if I was being punked and a customer seated behind was obviously as bewildered by the exchange as I. Gaping in disbelief, we just shrugged at each other. Seriously, it's just ice cream and fruit, shouldn't be that difficult. As far as flavor, I guess I'll never know cause I never got that far. read more

This was so good! I randomly found it on Yelp and surprised my family with "Just trust me and listen to the GPS"! The kids were so excited! My son got the cotton candy freak shake, my daughter the unicorn and my husband the coconut one. I got the banana Nutella ice cream rolls. Very good!! Of course they are all way to big for one person but with options like this, no one wants to share..... Definitely a great Ft Smith stop!! Clean place. Nice staff. read more

Actually dined at the Chaffee Crossing location. Wow this ice cream is amazing. It was our first time visiting and I was shocked at the size of our desserts. Next time (and there will be a next time) we will be sharing! Sparkling clean place with pleasant staff. That cheese cake tho! See you next time! read more

The waffle split was great but the coffee shake was not what we expected (not made with ice cream). The waffle split is big enough for several to split!! What I didn't enjoy was the environment. It's so loud! Between the TV blaring and the making of the mixed ice cream and the customers talking...it's louder than a bar scene. This is an easy fix for the owner so hopefully when we come back we will see an improvement with the noise level and can improve the review as well. read more

If you are looking for an outside of the box ice cream experience, I highly recommend Vargas Fruiteria. From the fried ice cream to the out of this world shakes they deliver an amazing ice cream culinary journey. The food gets 10 stars. However, the speed of service can be an issue. Be prepared to wait if it's even a little busy. But if you've got the time, it's worth the wait. read more

OMG! Seriously the best desert place EVER! We drove over 3 hours two different times just to come here! There selection of desserts is insane and everything is made fresh right in front of you. The Freakshakes are ginormous and the taste is even better/ Do yourself a favor and don't eat dinner before you come here because you will need the room for your ice cream! read more

I was able to visit the location off Grand on one occasion and it was AMAZING!!! I would love to try the fruit cup on my next visit but the rolled ice cream was worth every penny. I was not able to eat it all in one sitting so I did place it in the freezer and even a day or two later it was worth it. Great place to visit for your dessert needs. I will say it is pricey but for the amount they give plus the work they put into the servings its worth it. read more

Super underrated! They have all sorts of super yummy snacks for everyone! Anyone with a sweet tooth, who likes things with a little kick, or for the ones who like it a little fruity! Definitely a spot to go check out if you're looking for a snack spot read more

The workers were kind of rude. But the atmosphere, the music, the cleanliness of the place, and the menu were all top tier. We came in kind of late and got a messy item so I kind of understand the workers being a little rude. read more

My first time trying it, a menu I found online said shakes were $5.75.... They were $10! I was hoping they were expensive for a reason, no, I paid $10 for a strawberry shake with artificial strawberry sauce. They have no lids for the shakes, don't offer to go, if you don't have to go containers. My sister spilled hers bc the cup carriers are not strong enough for the shakes either. So for $20 we got 1 shake in the lap and one shake with artificial strawberry sauce. If I wanted artificial, I'd pay $3 at McDonald's read more

My favorite place now! So many options you will never get tired of trying the next thing. Perfect place for a chill fun date.

If your wanting a one of a kind sweet treat I would highly recommend this place to anyone. They offer so many things from ice cream to shakes to food. Super good, super clean, will be going back when I'm in the area! read more

Vargas Fruiteria - Strawberry Cheesecake Ice Cream - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Fort Smith, Arkansas

If you're in Fort Smith you must visit Vargas! Their ice cream is different and FUN. There are so many flavors to choose from. They also offer smoothies, crepes, and "freak shakes," as well as many other things. They make fresh fruit juices and serve them daily. The mango is my favorite! I always order the fruity pebble fried ice cream; it is amazing! The wait time can be a bit long on weekends. They get busy quickly, and there are not many places to sit. But it is worth it! read more

Amazing. I love the food there and I HIGHLY recommend the Strawberry Mangoniada. Awesome i love it sooooo much

Great desserts. Excellent presentation. Kids have a blast with the choices and watching their creation come alive.

Delicious! Kind of expensive but worth it. It's nice to watch them make your ice cream with fresh ingredients. This is fun to experience.

A jumble of items on the multiple menus may be intimidating to many in Fort Smith. Yet, the products look fantastic and seem fresh. I had the strawberry (one plus syrup) and cream frozen on a stainless steel freezer surfaces. The combo fruit and cream is then rolled up placed in a cup and toppings may be added. The place is a cacophony of music and spatulas pulverizing additives for the ice cream. All in all a pleasant experience. We went late, about 30 minutes before closing and they were still busy with a line to the register. read more

My family and I went to go eat at this place. I promised my 3 year old granddaughter we would go. When we arrived we noticed that it was not wheelchair accessible. We could not go inside because of this. It was very disappointing, and had to get icecream somewhere else. read more

Sooooooooo delicious!!!! We had to wait an hour or more because they were so busy, but it was totally worth it! I had the fried Oreo mint ice cream, and it was yummy!! The shakes were not only creatively created, but were so tasty!! I'll definitely go back and wait an hour again. read more

Great service and great food. I love the Elote with hot Cheetos. Pair it with mango juice and you are set.

It's really good, but there was only 2 people in the entire store and i waited over an HOUR for a smoothie...

Ohhhh man, this place is legit. Seriously guys you need to run and try this place once in your life. First, it doesn't look like much from the outside and the parking it's kind of weird but once you get inside and see their menu of goodies u will be in heaven. Sidenote--- this place gets full fast, there is only about 4 or 5 tables and a huge high top table, I have seen times when the line has been several feet long with people waiting to come in. Now let's say that u made it in and see the menu, I highly recommend The Mangonada, it's delicious. U can tell that they use at least one big size mango and it's obvious how fresh it is. My sister tried one of their freak shakes and she loved it. FYI I think that one freakshake is a complete dinner, that's how huge they are. The menu is huge, you have taco ice cream, yes u read that right. A banana split with waffles. They also have Chilindrinas!!!!! So do yourself a favor and try this place after all u only live once. read more

Vargas is Amazing. You usually have to wait in line when you go there because everything is made to order, but it is part of the experience. My favorite thing is the Fresas con Crema. It's absolutely delicious. Great business. read more

Great service and fun food! My granddaughters had the kids unicorn. I had the coconut shake. Delicious!
