ST. LOUIS PARK, Minn., May 20, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Summer just got a whole lot bolder as Taco John’s® debuts a limited-time lineup of premium summer beverages and a new craveable taco salad inspired by its signature West-Mex™ flavors.
Bringing together vibrant ingredients and the crave-worthy quality Taco John’s is known for, the new menu items deliver fresh options for summer, balancing bright, sweet-tart sips with hearty, flavor-packed bites designed to satisfy.
As temperatures climb, two all-new premium handcrafted beverages are bursting onto the summer scene with bright color and bold flavor. Summer Punch blends Mountain Dew® with a splash of ruby red grapefruit and tart cherry for a bold, citrusy twist, while Cherry Fizz doubles down on tart cherry flavor, mixed with Starry® for a crisp, effervescent finish.
On the food front, Taco John’s is introducing the flavor-packed Avocado Ranch Chicken Taco Salad. Served in a crunchy tortilla bowl, this hearty new offering features grilled all-white meat chicken, fresh shredded lettuce, tomatoes, bacon, and a four-cheese blend, topped with Pico de Gallo and the brand’s new house-made Avocado Ranch dressing.
Taco John’s new House Salsa and rich Avocado Ranch dressing are also available options for the traditional Taco Salad, made with seasoned 100% North American beef, for more ways to mix up a classic.
“These new menu items complement summer and offer a bold new twist on classic tastes guests know and love,” said Kevin Flaherty, Chief Marketing Officer at Taco John’s. “From sparkling fruity beverages to our flavor-forward taco salads, we’re excited to welcome guests in to savor the flavors of the season.”
And, back by popular demand, Mexi Rolls® have returned this month to the delight of fans everywhere. One of Taco John’s most beloved menu items, Mexi Rolls are handmade in-house daily with seasoned 100% North American beef, refried beans and melted Cheddar cheese, wrapped in a flour tortilla, fried to crispy perfection, and served with a dipping sauce of choice.
