Chicken Quesadilla Taco Returns

Taco John’s Beloved Chicken Quesadilla Tacos Was Re-Introduced

Taco John's, the iconic Mexican quick-service restaurant, recently announced the return of its beloved Chicken Quesadilla Taco. The mouthwatering offering is made with a melty quesadilla shell filled with pepper jack cheese, grilled all-white-meat chicken, shredded lettuce, zesty chipotle lime sauce, and pico de Gallo. For a limited time, guests can order two Chicken Quesadilla Tacos for just $5.

“To say we received a great response from the original rollout of our Chicken Quesadilla Tacos would be an understatement, so it only made sense to bring them back,” said Taco John’s Chief Marketing Officer Barry Westrum. “And this time, it’s double the excitement. Two of these cheesy and crave-worthy menu items for just $5 is a deal that is hard to beat. We’re excited for our fans to taste this awesome combination of two Mexican staples!”
