The Chimichurri Chicken Sandwich is officially on special! 💥 We took our signature smoky vibes and stacked them high on a toasted ciabatta roll.

Here is what is packed inside this flavor bomb:
🍗 House-smoked garlic lime chicken (insanely juicy!)
🌿 Zesty, vibrant chimichurri (your new obsession)
🥬 Crisp Lareau Farm lettuce (keeping it fresh & local)
🧅 Pickled onion (for that perfect tang)
🍯 Sweet onion mayo (the secret sauce)
🥖 Toasted ciabatta roll (holding it all together)

It is fresh, smoky, tangy, and ready to cure your hunger. Pull up and grab one before they’re gone! 🚗💨

🥗 A fresh batch of local greens is hitting The Mad Taco in Waitsfield this weekend.

We’ve got Lareau Farm lettuce tossed with watermelon radish, cherry tomatoes, feta, avocado, and a tortilla crumble for crunch. The whole thing is dressed in a wicked good jalapeño lime vinaigrette. Bulk it up with your choice of protein.

Pork Belly Chili Dogs On Special! We took a perfectly good all-beef frank and absolutely ruined your fitness goals by smothering it in rich, savory pork belly chili. Then we added crema, onions, and jalapeño relish. Why? Because we love you. And because veggies might be overrated. 🤷‍♂️
�👉 1 for $8: A light snack.�👉 2 for $14: The correct decision.

This beautiful mess is on special at ALL locations right now.
