The crispy chicken sandwich trend that swept the nation in recent years isn’t likely to die down any time soon, but you might be interested in finding a few new ways to enjoy fried tenders that don’t involve a bun.
Enter Willy’s Hot Chicken Tacos, a tantalizing treat that could tease your taste buds with just a hint of heat or have you howling for a bucket of milk to dunk your head in.
It’s time to take Taco Tuesday from nice to nuclear with a taste explosion that offers the perfect pairing of flavor and fire. With a few different tacos to choose from and the option to tailor your heat level to suit personal preferences, everyone on your crew is sure to find a new favorite taco at Willy’s Mexicana Grill.
Personalize Your Heat Level
At Willy’s Mexicana Grill, we know spice isn’t a one-size-fits-all proposition. Some people want the barest hint of spice for the flavor alone, while others prefer a five-alarm fire from their chow. Willy’s hot chicken tacos can be customized with four levels of heat, including:
- -Not Hot
- -Kinda’ Hot
- -Willy Hot
- -Howlin’
“Not Hot” is for anyone who likes the flavor of chicken but would rather not set their taste buds en fuego while enjoying their chicken. “Kinda’ Hot” kicks it up a level with enough heat to feel, but not enough to burn..
Still, it’s not enough for some intrepid diners, which is why Willy added his namesake spice to the list — “Willy Hot” will certainly get your attention.
Then there are the rare souls who apparently lack working capsaicin receptors, or they’ve torched their tongue enough times that they’re immune. This is where “Howlin’” heat comes in, with a furnace blast to the palate that, no lie, has made grown men cry. Fair warning. Don’t forget to add your favorite sides to round out the meal.
California Tacos
Nobody knows fresh Mex like Cali, where colorful fillings create tacos that are almost too pretty to stuff in your mouth. Almost. Our irresistible California tacos start with a soft tortilla and crispy chicken tenders featuring your preferred spice.
This alone is tempting enough, but you won’t complain about the visual feast created by a four-cheese blend of shredded cheese, chopped cabbage, diced red onions, creamy guacamole, and fresh tomatillo salsa. It’s a rainbow of cuisine that draws the eye and dazzles the palate.
Nashville Classic
This taco is so Nashville, it might as well be singing “Jolene” on Lower Broadway. The alleged birthplace of spicy fried chicken, Nashville did it first, but Willy’s Mexicana Grill is determined to do it best.
Soft tortillas are topped by crispy chicken tenders with your choice of heat, paired with our four-cheese blend, briny pickles, refreshing coleslaw, serrano crema, and Willy hot spice shake to ensure the heat Nashville is famous for.
Ultimate
If you want all the best flavors stuffed into one ultimate taco, the name says it all. Fill your face with crispy chicken tenders paired with French fries, bacon, cheese dip, and Willy hot spice shake, all wrapped in a handy soft tortilla for easy conveyance to your waiting chompers.
