The new Takis Fuego Meal is available in Canadian restaurants starting June 30
BURLINGTON, ON, June 17, 2025 /CNW/ - Meet this summer's fiercest duo: Wendy's® iconic Spicy Chicken Sandwich and fan-favorite snack brand Takis® join forces to create the limited-time Takis Fuego™ Meal, which features the Takis Fuego Chicken Sandwich and Takis-inspired Fuego™ Fries. Wendy's fans can get their hands on the collaboration in U.S. restaurants on June 20 in Canada restaurants starting June 30.
Wendy's is giving fans a whole new take on Takis, combining Wendy's perfectly seasoned Spicy Chicken filet with Chili Lime Sauce, a creamy corn spread and, of course, topped with crushed Takis Fuego chips to create a one-of-a-kind sandwich that is equal parts spicy, crunchy and savoury. The Takis takeover doesn't stop there! Fans can shake up their meal with Wendy's new Fuego Fries, inspired by Takis, taking Wendy's classic Hot & Crispy Fries and tossing them in a tangy chili lime seasoning – perfect for sharing... or not. Available as the Takis Fuego Meal or a la carte, heat seekers can add even more Takis punch to their meal with a bag of Takis Fuego® chips that are only available in the Takis Fuego Meal while supplies last*.
