International Brand
Introduces New Offerings Inspired By Authentic Ethnic Flavors
Hard Rock Cafe is heading
south of the border for its latest menu innovation to offer a fiesta of fiery
food!
The international brand is turning things up a notch and paying homage to
classic Mexican cuisine and cocktails with its signature flair as part of the
new Taste of Mexico menu. Beginning May 2, 2016 the limited-time menu will be
available at participating Hard Rock Cafe franchise locations across North,
Central and South America, as well as Europe, Middle East, Africa and Asia.
As part of the Taste of
Mexico menu, Hard Rock developed a variety of new food and beverage options
which will be available at each cafe. The menu includes tacos, quesadillas and
vegetarian dishes, all of which incorporate traditional Mexican-inspired flavoUrs.
The new menu offerings will also be paired with the Mezcal Cocktail Tour, a selection
of adult drinks made with Mezcal from Mexico and served with a Hard Rock twist
in one-of-a-kind vessels.
“Hard Rock Cafe’s guests
expect bold flavors and unique dining options, which is why we wanted to
embrace ethnic and flavor-forward cuisine as part of the Taste of Mexico,” said
Antonio Bautista, SVP of Franchise Cafe Development & Operations for Hard
Rock International. “The addition of the new menu items reflects the brand’s
commitment to satisfying our customer’s ever-evolving taste profiles and
providing an authentic dining experience that guests can’t find anywhere else.”
