QDOBA Mexican Eats Debuts Spicy Tequila Lime Steak and Churro Chips
References: prnewswire
QDOBA Mexican Eats has introduced a limited-time summer menu featuring two new offerings — the Spicy Tequila Lime Steak and the Churro Chips.
QDOBA's Spicy Tequila Lime Steak incorporates Cholula Original Hot Sauce and tequila lime flavors into the quick-serve restaurant's flame-grilled steak for a tangy, moderately spicy profile. The steak can be added to any customizable entrée such as burritos, bowls, or tacos. The Churro Chips, on the other hand, stand as a sweet snack that applies a cinnamon-sugar coating to the brand's freshly fried tortilla chips. This is considered to be QDOBA's first new dessert innovation in over a decade.
Complementing the Spicy Tequila Lime Steak and the Churro Chips is the brand's 'Summer Rewards on Q' promotion, which runs from mid-June through late July. It allows Rewards Members to unlock weekly perks such as discounts, bonus loyalty points, or free add-ons by making qualifying purchases.
