Wendy’s is dialing up the heat just in time for summer with a bold new mashup that brings serious flavor (and crunch) to its menu. The chain is teaming up with Takis to launch a limited-time Takis Fuego™ Meal, and it might be one of Wendy’s most intense creations yet.
Starting June 20 in the U.S. (and June 30 in Canada), fans can try a new take on Wendy’s classic Spicy Chicken Sandwich. The upgraded version piles on crushed Takis Fuego® chips, chili lime sauce, creamy corn spread, and cheddar cheese sauce for a fiery, flavor-packed bite. The goal is a mix of heat, texture, and savory satisfaction in every mouthful.
But Wendy’s didn’t stop at the sandwich. The collab also includes Fuego Fries—their Hot & Crispy Fries dusted with tangy chili lime seasoning. They come served in a specially designed tear-away bag that makes snacking (and sharing) easier. And if you go for the full meal, you’ll also get an actual mini bag of Takis Fuego® chips, but only while supplies last.
If food isn’t enough, there’s more. From June 20 to July 20, Wendy’s app users in the U.S. can play a free in-app game called Spice Invasion, where players blast Wendy’s menu items with Takis chips in an arcade-style adventure. Score high enough and you could win instant prizes, or the $10,000 grand prize.
The campaign leans into what both brands do best: high-impact flavor and over-the-top snack experiences. As Wendy’s U.S. CMO Lindsay Radkoski puts it, “We know how to keep things spicy,” and this partnership is a natural extension of that ethos.
Whether you’re a longtime Takis fan or just looking for a bolder fast food experience, the Takis Fuego Meal is only here for a limited time. You can order it as a combo or a la carte at participating Wendy’s locations.
In short: If your summer plans include heat, flavor, and a little fun, Wendy’s has you covered.
