Right now, the "Doritos After Dark" restaurant is only available to ticket holders who are at events scheduled at the Crypto.com Arena. But there are plans to take the restaurant to other states as well.
Some of the foods served at "Doritos After Dark" include the Doritos Flamin' Hot Limón Late Night Rita, which is a classic tequila margarita with a Doritos Flamin' Hot Limón rim, as well as the Doritos Spicy Sweet Chili Ramen-Rito, where a mash-up of ramen and burritos are combined into a spicy sweet taste sensation. The dish includes grilled chicken, ramen noodles, crushed Doritos Spicy Sweet Chili flavored tortilla chips, corn, scallions, and cilantro, all rolled in a warm flour tortilla.
There are also Doritos Flamin' Hot Nacho Veggie Dumplings, Doritos Nacho Cheese Texas-Style Loaded Nachos, and, for dessert, a Doritos' Nacho Cheese Crunchtastic Vanilla Cone.
