Tacos are a beloved staple, but what happens when the people behind the counter get to choose the ingredients? At TACOcentric, we’ve handed the reins over to our staff for a weekly menu feature that shakes up tradition and makes the cold winter months fun! Each week, a different team member picks the protein, and then the ingredients get a creative remix. The result is a fresh, delicious taco [burrito, bowl, nacho, quesadilla, taco-in-a-bag ...] experience that surprises and delights every time.
Week 1: Dec 16-21, 2025 "TURKEY DINNER" Turkey & Stuffing [Hannah’s Staff Feature], and make sure to try the Cranberry Apple Salsa [thanks Nova!]; We’ll also be featuring a Cranberry & Apple Margarita starting Tuesday, December 16th!
Week 2: Dec 23-28, 2025 "PAUSE" we will be closed for the holidays so we are going to skip a week.
Week 3: Dec 30-Jan 4, 2026: MAC'n Queso Classic noodles with mixed with cheesy goodness. Comfort food with a twist!
Week 4: Jan 6-11, 2026: Creamy Garlic Shrimp! Tomato-garlic cream sauce, shrimp + veggies. GF.
Week 5: Jan 13-18, 2026: Chicken Pot Pie! Stuffed inside a quesadilla or loaded in a taco.
Week 6: Jan 20-25: Duck confit = french fancy vibes only! Rich, tender "french" duck piled into a taco [or anything you like] and balanced with fresh pickled toppings for the perfect meal.
How the Limited-Time Features Staff Takeover Works
Every week, one staff member steps into the spotlight to design a taco that reflects their taste and creativity. They start by choosing a protein — anything from classic to unexpected options like turkey or jackfruit. Then, they select complementary ingredients that remix traditional Mexican flavours with new twists.
This approach gives our team a chance to share their personal food stories and experiment with flavours they love. It also keeps the menu dynamic and exciting for our guests [that's YOU!] who crave something different each visit. Winter is the perfect time to shake things up with these Limited-Time features.
Examples of Past Remix Tacos
The weekly staff takeover has produced some standout tacos "fillings" that showcase the range of possibilities when creativity leads the way. Here are a few favorites:
Buffalo Chicken
Veggie Medley
Donair
Mac'n Queso
Each tells a story and adds a new fun way to enjoy a new menu item. The staff’s personal touch makes every weekly feature unique and worth trying. The taco shop turns into a creative kitchen playground where innovation thrives.
What to Expect When You Visit
When you come in for the weekly remix taco [burrito, bowl, nacho, quesadilla, taco-in-a-bag ...] expect a fresh take on Mexican-inspired cuisine. The protein might be something familiar or a surprising choice. The toppings and sauces will likely mix traditional ingredients like cilantro, lime, and salsa with unexpected elements such as fruit salsas, unique cheeses, or house-made aiolis.
The staff are eager to share the story behind their taco, so don’t hesitate to ask about the inspiration and ingredients. This is what quick-serve with a full-serve hospitality experience is all about.
