Taco Bell Welcomes Back A Variety Of Fan-Favorite Menu Items

It’s hard to believe, but Taco Bell is over 60 years old, founded back in 1962 and introducing craveable, Mexican-inspired products to customers across the US for the very first time.

Over the years, they delivered new flavors to fans through its menu innovation and created a deep vault of favorites that fans are consistently pleading be added back on menus.

The Decades Menu helps unite generations of fans who fondly remember these menu items, with a new era of fans who have yet to experience the delight of a savory Tostada, taste the legendary Green Sauce Burrito, or take their first bite of a Meximelt.

As a value-focused brand, every item on the Decades Menu will be available for under $3, at participating stores nationwide. Take a flavorful trip down memory lane with each Decades Menu item:

• ‘60s – Tostada: An O.G. menu item, which was one of six menu items released in 1962 at Taco Bell’s first walkup location in Southern California. It is comprised of a crispy corn tostada shell, layered with savory refried beans, tangy red sauce, crispy lettuce and shredded cheese, for $2.19.
• ‘70s – Green Sauce Burrito: One of our “most-hacked” burritos and an item as edgy as the 1970s, this luscious burrito is filled with savory refried beans, crunchy onions, shredded cheddar cheese and green sauce made with green chili, tomatillos, jalapeño peppers and spices, available for $2.49.
• ‘80s – Meximelt: One of our most requested comeback items and a member of every ‘80s clique, the Meximelt is made with freshly prepared pico de gallo, a blend of three cheeses: mozzarella, cheddar and monterey jack melted with craveable seasoned beef in a tortilla, available for $2.99.
• ‘90s – Gordita Supreme: The ultimate ‘90s kid, the Beef Gordita Supreme returns for $2.99, featuring a pillowy warm flatbread filled with savory seasoned beef, cool reduced-fat sour cream, crisp lettuce, blend of three cheeses: mozzarella, cheddar & monterey jack and topped with diced tomatoes.
• ‘00s – Caramel Apple Empanada: A star was born in Y2K as the Caramel Apple Empanada came on the scene with its golden-brown, crispy exterior filled with apple pieces and a flavorful creamy caramel filling, available for $2.99. The Caramel Apple Empanada is continuously demanded by fans and will be available starting November 21 for a limited time.

“Everyone remembers the moment they fell in love with Taco Bell and that one special menu item that brings you right back,” said Taylor Montgomery, Chief Marketing Officer. “The Decades Menu and the merch we’re creating are an ode to our rich history and a love letter to our fans, whether they’ve been rolling through our drive-thru for decades or are just about to discover their first Caramel Apple Empanada.”

Bigger and bolder than ever, Taco Bell is also introducing a $7 Luxe Cravings Box which will feature ‘90s legend, the Gordita Supreme along with a Beefy 5-Layer Burrito, Double Stacked Taco, chips and nacho cheese sauce, and a medium fountain drink, available for a limited time.
