On By Littum

What happens when tequila meets fried chicken? Don Julio and Popeyes have officially launched their highly expected championship lineup menu, and it’s as bold as fans hoped. The catch? This limited edition menu is only available in selected cities and just in time for the big game.

From Concha Rolls to Tequila Wings

Popeyes and Don Julio give game-day snacks a serious upgrade. Here’s what’s on the menu: A Tequila-Marinated Chicken fillet, fried in Popeyes’ signature, flesh milk playing, topped with tequila lime slaw, spicy spread and a barrel herd. Instead of a classic bun, it is served inside a CONCHA roll – a Mexican pastry known for its soft, butter -like structure and sweet topping.

The menu also contains:

  • Louisiana garlic 3-piece wingspaired with a tequila-infunded sauce that brings a subtle kick
  • ONE Spicy Strawberry Hibiscus Lemonade Mocktaila tasty alcoholic nikk to lively Mexican taste

By mixing Popeyes’ bold Louisiana-inspired cooking with Don Julios Smooth Tequila notes, the menu brings together two iconic brands to create something that feels both well-known and unexpected.

Where to try it

Here is the fine printing: this exclusive menu makes one One-day-last debut January 31, 2025 at selected restaurants. Then it moves exclusively to Popeyes’ flagship channel Street location in New Orleans, where it will be available until Game Day on February 9 – while last.
