The restaurant will feature the following items:

  • Doritos® Spicy Sweet Chili Ramen-Rito: Ramen meets Burrito meets Doritos spicy sweet flavor. This fusion of Asian and Tex-Mex flavors packs a late-night punch – perfectly seasoned grilled chicken, oodles of ramen noodles, crushed Doritos Spicy Sweet Chili flavored tortilla chips, charred corn, fresh scallions and cilantro are all rolled in a warm flour tortilla. This one deserves a double dunk in our side of Doritos Flamin' Hot aioli and Doritos Spicy Sweet Chili crunchers.
  • Doritos® Flamin' Hot® Nacho Veggie Dumplings: Asian-inspired pan-fried dumplings, filled with savory veggies and topped with a Flamin' Hot Nacho chili crisp. The finale? A fresh garnish of green onions and cilantro for a flavor-packed experience that's unapologetically hot!
  • Doritos® Nacho Cheese Texas-Style Loaded Nachos: Classic Nachos – Texas Style! Loaded with mouthwatering brisket, smokey BBQ sauce, gooey nacho cheese, sliced dill pickles, and sweet onions piled on top of Doritos Nacho Cheese [Doritos BBQ] flavored tortilla chips for a Southern taste that hits all the right notes.
  • Doritos® Nacho Cheese Crunchtastic Vanilla Cone: Drumroll please for a dessert that's worth the hype! This classic vanilla ice cream waffle cone is dipped in rich milk chocolate and rolled in Doritos Nacho Cheese flavored tortilla chip crunchers for the perfect sweet and salty bite to end the night!
