For one day and one day only, Shake Shack will offer a breakfast taco at its Madison Square Park location.

Sanchez has also created the limited Chick’n de Sanchez, a fried chicken sandwich with chile-de-árbol oil, guajillo-chili mayo, avocado, pickled onions, Boston lettuce, and crema. These specials will be served at the Madison Square Park on Tuesday, February 6 until they run out, and Shake Shack is donating $1 from every item purchased to the empowerment group for Latinas, Mujeres Latinas en Acción.
