(Ontario, CA) – Globally-inspired foods are what consumers want from their favorite restaurants. New Posada® Cruncheros are bold, exciting, and craveable rolled tacos bringing together a trending fusion of flavors in a crunchy rolled taco shell that stays crispy and craveable longer than traditional tortilla.
“Posada is a brand that foodservice operators know and trust for extraordinary Latin flare. Our new Cruncheros line is loaded with exciting flavor fusions and spicy goodness,” says Michael Castagna, Vice-President of Marketing for AFNA. “Bold, exciting, craveable rolled tacos that are as easy as heat and serve to save time and labor is a major benefit to operators. Cruncheros are ideal as a shared appetizer for dine-in customers and have excellent hold times for takeout, delivery, or catering.”
A recent consumer survey by Datassential found that 75% of customers are looking forward to new foods and beverages on restaurant menus this year.
