Quesada Burritos & Tacos is spicing up its seasonal menu with the return of its fan-favorite Mexican Street Corn and the debut of a new 'Spicy Mango Salsa,' both available for a limited time across Canada. The 'Street Corn' -- served warm and topped with cheese, cilantro, Tajín, and your choice of signature sauces -- has earned cult status since its 2022 launch. It’s available now until September 2, 2025.
Adding a sweet-heat twist to the menu, the new Spicy Mango Salsa blends juicy mango with fire-roasted tomatoes, arbol chilies, garlic, and lime. Available until August 1, it’s a vibrant upgrade to burritos, tacos, or tortilla chips. 'It’s both versatile and craveable,' says Brand Leader Angelo Ragas, highlighting its role in capturing summer’s bold flavor trends.
Quesada’s limited-time offerings strategically leverage seasonal flavor trends to drive foot traffic and boost average spend. The reintroduction of a known favorite alongside a buzzy new item strengthens brand engagement and underscores Quesada’s commitment to fresh, house-made innovation.
