McDonald's brings back popular range that first debuted in the '90s

McDonald's Australia is bringing back its popular Mexican-inspired range for a limited time only.

The El Maco range is back, having first appeared on menus in the 90s, before it returned in 2012, and again in 2019, 2020 and now 2026, from Wednesday January 14.

And this time around the fast food giant says the range is juicier and zestier.

Making its return as part of the range is the El Maco Beef burger, which comes with two Aussie beef patties, lettuce, tomato, cheese, and El Maco salsa and sour cream in the iconic Macca's soft sesame seed bun.

A new addition to the range is the El McCrispy chicken burger with a chicken breast fillet, lettuce, tomato, cheese, El Maco salsa, and sour cream, served on a soft potato bun.

Another new addition, the El Maco Chicken McWrap comes with chicken breast, lettuce, tomato, cheese, El Maco salsa and sour cream wrapped in a soft tortilla.

In addition to the El Maco range's return this week, the Milo McFlurry is also back, and this time around will be joined by a Milo Shake.
