Wendy's and Takis Unite to Introduce the Spicy Takis Fuego Meal This Summer

Wendy's and Takis Join Forces for an Unforgettable Meal

This summer, fans of spicy flavors are in for a treat as Wendy's® and Takis® unite to unveil a collaboration that promises to ignite taste buds: the Takis Fuego™ Meal. Launching in Wendy's U.S. locations on June 20, 2025, and in Canada on June 30, this exciting partnership showcases two beloved brands coming together to create an explosion of flavor and fun.

The centerpiece of this special meal is the Takis Fuego™ Chicken Sandwich, a unique interpretation of Wendy's iconic Spicy Chicken Sandwich. This thrilling twist features a perfectly seasoned spicy chicken filet, generously topped with crushed Takis Fuego® chips, a zesty Chili Lime Sauce, a luscious corn spread, and a decadent cheddar cheese sauce. The result is a sandwich that balances spicy, crunchy, and savory elements, appealing to those who crave intense flavor.

But that's not all! The meal also includes the newly introduced Fuego™ Fries, which put a Takis-inspired spin on Wendy's classic Hot Crispy Fries. These fries are tossed in a delicious chili lime seasoning, and to keep things fun and accessible, they come served in a specially designed tear-away bag, making sharing—or enjoying solo—easier than ever before.

For those looking to amplify their experience, introducing a bag of Takis Fuego® chips alongside the meal is the perfect way to add even more heat. These chips are a limited-time offering available only in the Takis Fuego™ Meal while supplies last.

“We are excited to collaborate with Takis, a brand that shares our commitment to bold flavors and unforgettable experiences,” said Lindsay Radkoski, U.S. Chief Marketing Officer for The Wendy's Company. “This partnership not only brings together our iconic menu items but also taps into our fans' passion for spicy food.”

The excitement doesn’t stop at the restaurant. From June 20 to July 20, Wendy's reward app users can engage in the retro arcade-style game, Spice Invasion. Players navigate through a challenging terrain while blasting different Wendy's menu items with Takis chips, earning points and prizes along the way. Participants will have the chance to enter a drawing for a grand prize of $10,000, adding an interactive element to the promotional campaign.

Sandra Kirkpatrick, U.S. Sr. Director of Marketing at Barcel USA, expressed enthusiasm about the collaboration: “Working together with Wendy's—a powerful brand known for its fresh and flavorful offerings—is like a dream. Our joint effort will elevate the culinary experience for our fans and provide them with incredible intensity in every bite.”
