Welcome Back the Classics

This taco is a testament to the creativity that has made Whataburger a staple in American fast food.
A Delicious Twist on Your Favorites
But that’s not all! Whataburger is also introducing a new flavor that’s sure to warm you up during those chilly months ahead: a Mexican hot chocolate flavor for both its coffee and milkshakes. Imagine savoring rich, creamy hot chocolate with a Mexican twist—all while enjoying the deliciousness that Whataburger is known for. This flavorful addition will be available at the same time as the returning favorites, making January a month to remember for burger and taco lovers everywhere!
Merch Madness and Fashion Forward
Whataburger isn’t stopping with menu items; it’s also diving into the world of merchandise with some awesome specials! As part of the celebrations, you can grab exclusive Whataburger gear priced at just $19.50. This price beautifully honors the year 1950, when Whataburger first opened its doors in Corpus Christi, Texas.
The excitement continues as Whataburger prepares to unveil its first-ever Wrangler X Whataburger fashion collection in April 2025. Get ready to sport some stylish denim jackets, jeans, graphic tees, and fun ball caps that showcase your love for Whataburger in a fashionable way.

It’s wonderful to see a brand that values its customers and wants to keep delighting them!
A Legacy of Growth
Whataburger’s journey didn’t just start and stop in Corpus Christi. Over the last 75 years, the chain has grown to nearly 700 locations across the nation. As of 2023, Whataburger operates over 1,080 locations in 16 states and enjoys impressive sales exceeding $4 billion annually.
