Chiquito’s nacho hat
The UK restaurant chain has created the Nacho Hat as seen in Despicable Me and The Simpsons.
The Mexican-style sombrero hat is made from Chiquito’s signature nachos, with a dipping pouch to fill with one of three salsa options: Pineapple, Tasty Tomato or Tamatillo Salsa.
Demand for a real-life nacho hat hit social media after The Simpsons and Despicable Me featured the one-of-a-kind animated version. Since then, mentions has swarmed the Reddit waves, with fans refusing to “believe nacho hats aren’t real. Has anyone ever located a real nacho hat?”
Consumers called and Chiquito answered. The nacho hat is now a reality and full of flavour – made from Chiquito’s very own nacho seasoning that contains fresh, natural ingredients: paprika, turmeric, celery, parsley, coriander, chilli and veggie oil.
Chiquito – established in 1989 and part of the Restaurant Group – dubs itself The Original Mexican Grill & Bar – targeting everyone from the adventurous heat seeker to those who wish to play it safe.
The restaurant chain has created a limited run of hats, but, due to popular demand, has hinted that it may become a permanent placement on its menu.
