Whataburger is answering the call of its most loyal fans by bringing two of its most requested menu items out of the vault. Starting December 30, 2025, the Monterey Melt and the Chicken Fajita Taco will return to the menu for a limited time, offering a flavorful start to the new year.
The Return of Two Menu Icons
The relaunch comes after significant demand across social media, as customers sought the return of these signature items.
-
The Monterey Melt: A favorite for those seeking bold heat, this burger features two 100% beef patties topped with Monterey Jack and American cheeses, grilled onions, peppers, and Whataburger’s signature Jalapeño Ranch sauce.
-
The Chicken Fajita Taco: Offering a lighter but equally savory option, this taco includes a grilled chicken breast, seared onions, and a mix of poblano and red peppers wrapped in a soft flour tortilla.
“The Monterey Melt and Chicken Fajita Taco have some of the most loyal followers out there,” said Scott Hudler, Whataburger Chief Marketing Officer. “We’re thrilled to kick off the new year by letting fans indulge in their tried-and-true favorites, crafted exactly the way they remember.”
Introducing the Big Ranch Wrap
In addition to the returning classics, Whataburger is expanding its “on-the-go” category with the debut of the Big Ranch Wrap. Designed for convenience and quality, the wrap features a crispy chicken strip, fresh leaf lettuce, tomato, buttermilk ranch, and American cheese in a warm flour tortilla.
Available at participating locations for $3 (entree only), the Big Ranch Wrap provides an accessible, high-quality option for guests looking for a quick and satisfying bite.
