Calling all Taco Bell lovers, especially those who fondly remember the ‘80s! Just in time for Halloween, the beloved Meximelt is making a comeback. Taco Bell has decided to bring back this classic alongside four other discontinued menu items, rekindling nostalgia for fans old and new.
On Thursday, Taco Bell announced the return of five popular items that had been missing from the menu over the past several decades. This revival is part of their exciting new Decades Menu, designed to celebrate the chain’s rich history. The Meximelt, a fan favorite from the 1980s, features seasoned beef, fresh pico de gallo, and a delightful blend of mozzarella, cheddar, and Monterey Jack cheese all wrapped in a warm tortilla. Best of all, these items are all priced at $3 or less, making them accessible treats for everyone.
In a recent statement, Taco Bell explained that the Decades Menu aims to connect generations of fans. It allows those who cherished these menu items in the past to share them with new customers who have yet to experience the joy of a savory Tostada or the renowned Green Sauce Burrito. Taco Bell believes this menu brings a sense of community among its customers, regardless of age.
So, what items are making their grand return this Halloween? Here’s a look at the lineup:
- '60s Tostada: Available starting October 31 for $2.19, this dish features a crispy corn tostada shell topped with layers of refried beans, red sauce, crisp lettuce, and shredded cheese.
- '70s Green Sauce Burrito: Priced at $2.49 and also available starting October 31, this burrito is filled with refried beans, onions, and a rich green sauce made from green chili, tomatillos, jalapeños, and spices.
