Three limited-time menu items have returned to Fuzzy’s Taco Shop — for good. Previously popular dishes of the past, the jalapeño-cilantro queso, jalapeño bottle caps and burrito bowls were added as permanent options at the Texas-based Mexican franchise, which operates locally in Brandon and Tampa, as of Monday.

The spicy queso blends Fuzzy’s already-famous dip with jalapeño and cilantro. Battered, fried and Fuzzy Dust-topped jalapeño slices sum up the jalapeño bottle caps, which get served with house-made avocado ranch dressing. And tortilla-free burrito bowls — made with your choice of fajita chicken, beef or grilled veggies — highlight cilantro-lime rice and black beans that are finished with guacamole, pico de gallo, cheese, lettuce and cilantro.

According to a statement from Fuzzy’s Taco Shop President Mel Knight, the craveable trio complements and supports the fast-casual chain’s existing lineup.

“The return of these three menu items is a tribute to the feedback we received from our Fuzzy’s fans and guests,” Knight said. “They spoke and we definitely listened.”
