These new menu items are filled with nacho cheese and tex-mex-inspired seasonings. The McDonald's Nachos are authentic tortilla chips topped with the brand's new 'Nacho Cheese Sauce,' while the McShaker fries are traditional McDonald's fries topped with a new nacho cheese-inspired seasoning powder. These two new sides give customers an option between a wet, cheesy dish and a dry, seasoned dish. The burger on this menu has two grilled patties, onions, tomatoes, cheese, and a unique topping of nachos covered in McDonald's' Nacho Cheese Sauce. This new Tex-Mex Menu is available for a limited time at participating locations across Spain, while supplies last. In order to get a taste of this unique fast-food offering, customers can order each of these items in advance on the McDonald's application.
