Wendy’s Mexican fare is coming soon to the popular fast-food chain
You may love Wendy’s for its delicious hamburgers, crispy fries and smooth Frosties, but soon there will be a whole new twist to the classic menu. It's reported that the burger chain’s new offerings will include Mexican-inspired burgers, chicken, fries and cold-brewed coffee like that at McDonald's.
If you love the type of Mexican fast food that you can find at Taco Bell, there’s no doubt that you’ll want to give Wendy’s new menu items a try. But if the new items don’t appeal to you or you’re simply in the mood to cook, the right air fryer, grill, coffee maker and more will help you make perfect burgers, fries and coffee at home.
What Taco Bell-like items will be coming to Wendy's?
It's been leaked on social media and various websites that Wendy's new items will be part of their Loaded Nacho menu. Although items and availability may vary based on location, some of the items likely to be included are burgers, chicken sandwiches, fries and cold coffee.
Both the Loaded Nacho Cheeseburger and Loaded Nacho Chicken Sandwich will be packed with the usual toppings plus spicy chipotle sauce, queso, tortilla chips and corn. They come on a tasty jalapeno cheddar bun.
Although it is not definite, photos that have leaked of the new Wendy's Mexican cuisine indicate that the restaurant will also be offering queso fries topped with a cheesy sauce.
In addition to the new food items, a 12-hour steeped cold coffee blended with vanilla frosty creamer will also be on the menu. A choice of chocolate, vanilla and caramel flavors will tempt any coffee enthusiast's taste buds.
When will the new Loaded Nacho menu be available?
It's been announced on social media that the new menu is set to debut in the next few weeks. This puts the possibility of being able to order them at your local Wendy's sometime in August.
