Frito-Lay’s Doritos has unveiled a new culinary venture, the Doritos After Dark restaurant, exclusively for ticket holders at the Crypto.com Arena, Los Angeles.
The establishment promises appetisers, entrées and desserts, all enhanced by the distinctive flavour and crunch of Doritos chips.
Although the Doritos After Dark restaurant is accessible only during regularly scheduled events at the arena, a one-time event on 15 November 2024 - taking place before a major concert - will welcome a broader audience.
The Doritos Night Market pop-up will offer free Doritos After Dark bites in an immersive neon atmosphere from 4:30pm to 7:30pm PT at Peacock Place in Los Angeles, next to the arena at L.A. LIVE.
Crypto.com Arena president Lee Zeidman said: "We're thrilled to be the home of Doritos' first restaurant as Doritos After Dark opens at Crypto.com Arena this fall.
"As the premier sports and live entertainment arena in Los Angeles, Crypto.com Arena continues to present top-notch culinary experiences for fans, and we can't wait for our guests to enjoy the unique cuisine Doritos After Dark offers.”
The menu features innovative creations such as the Doritos Flamin' Hot Limón Late Night Rita - a twist on the classic margarita rimmed with Doritos Flamin' Hot Limón.
Another highlight is the Spicy Sweet Chili Ramen-Rito, blending Asian and Tex-Mex cuisines with grilled chicken and ramen noodles wrapped in a flour tortilla with a side of Doritos Flamin' Hot aioli.
For those who prefer vegetarian options, the Flamin' Hot Nacho Veggie Dumplings offer pan-fried dumplings topped with chili crisp and fresh garnishes.
The Nacho Cheese Texas-Style Loaded Nachos bring Southern flavours with brisket and BBQ sauce on Doritos Nacho Cheese flavoured chips.
The Nacho Cheese Crunchtastic Vanilla Cone combines vanilla ice cream with chocolate and Doritos chip crunchers.
Frito-Lay culinary senior principal scientist chef Wiley Bates said: "When we take Doritos chips out of the bag and put the distinctive chip into recipes, the culinary possibilities are endless.
"The Doritos brand is known for pushing boundaries and paving new paths. The food and alcoholic beverages offered at the new Doritos After Dark restaurant were created with the consumer in mind and take delicious fan favourites up a notch with the boldness and flair only Doritos flavours can deliver."
