The McRib has returned in multiple markets for 2025, and one market has had their first taste since 2011!
Central America
In what has become a yearly occurrence, the McRib has returned in Central American countries. Currently the McRib is being offered in Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador. This year there are again three variations, classic, bacon, and a new jalapeño option (Guatemala only). Note that in 2023, the McRib was offered with a jalapeño option as well. The trend seems to be to alternate the jalapeño and onion ring options.
Latvia/Estonia/Lithuania
After a 14 year hiatus, the McRib has returned in Latvia! While this prior release escaped our notice, we did not miss it this time. At the same time, the release of the McRib in Estonia appears to continue despite the original suggestion it might only last a few weeks. Also included is Lithuania
A quick online translation shows the description as:
The McRib starts with seasoned, boneless pork ribs covered in sweet and spicy BBQ sauce. The meat is topped with thinly sliced onions and tangy pickles, served on a crispy homemade bun. It all comes together to make the perfect BBQ pork sandwich. But beware – the sandwich is limited in availability! Stay tuned to your local McDonald’s® restaurant to find out when the McRib® will be available.
