Applebee’s Adds New Bacon Cheeseburger Wonton Tacos to Its Popular 2 for $25 Menu
Applebee’s® is turning up the flavor this summer with the launch of its newest limited-time menu offering: Bacon Cheeseburger Wonton Tacos. Bringing together two beloved comfort food favorites—classic cheeseburgers and crispy tacos—the new appetizer is now available as part of Applebee’s popular 2 for $25 value menu, giving guests an affordable way to enjoy a full meal with friends and family.
Available for a limited time through August 16, the Bacon Cheeseburger Wonton Tacos combine the bold flavors of an American cheeseburger with the crunch of Applebee’s signature wonton taco shell. The new menu item features seasoned ground beef, melted Cheddar cheese, Applewood-smoked bacon, pickles and a flavorful drizzle of spicy honey mustard, creating a unique twist on two familiar favorites.
The launch continues Applebee’s commitment to offering craveable food at an accessible price point. Through the 2 for $25 menu, guests can enjoy the new Bacon Cheeseburger Wonton Tacos or choose from other popular appetizers alongside two full-size entrées, making it one of the standout dining deals available this summer.
“Combining two of our guests’ favorite dishes to create our new Bacon Cheeseburger Wonton Tacos was a no-brainer,” said Michelle Chin, Chief Marketing Officer at Applebee’s. “It packs bold American comfort in every bite: seasoned ground beef, melted Cheddar, Applewood-smoked bacon, pickles and a drizzle of spicy honey mustard. Perfect for sharing on our 2 for $25 menu, or enjoying by itself, you can treat yourself this summer without breaking the bank!”
