BURGER KING restaurants are introducing a Tex-Mex twist on its famous WHOPPER sandwich nationwide with its new WHOPPERRITO burger-burrito mashup. After a local market debut that sparked widespread demand from guests, BURGER KING restaurants is now taking its WHOPPERRITO national at participating restaurants beginning August 15. The WHOPPERRITO is a new menu item that features the same 100% beef that the WHOPPER sandwich is made with and that’s prepared using the same flame-grilled cooking technique BURGER KING restaurants have been perfecting for over 60 years.
The WHOPPERRITO burger-burrito remix made with 100% beef was originally conceived by a franchisee. BURGER KING restaurants have decided to roll out the menu item nationwide for a limited time while supplies last after it was met with widespread media attention and social media requests. This unique merger is the latest in the brand’s fan-favorite food combinations, coming off the heels of the recent Mac n’ Cheetos™ launch.
