Taco Bell is on a mission to keep things exciting with its menu, always looking for new flavours and unique offerings. The popular fast-food chain is set to introduce some mouthwatering items starting this Thursday. These new additions include the Caliente Cantina Chicken Burrito in Cincinnati, Ohio, and the Strawberry Passionfruit Aguas Refrescas in Charlotte, Ohio.
The Caliente Cantina Chicken Burrito is priced at $5.99 and is part of Taco Bell's newly launched Cantina Chicken Menu. This burrito features slow-roasted Cantina chicken smothered in an all-new Caliente Sauce, which is a zesty blend of red pepper, red jalapeño pepper, and ghost chile pepper. Taco Bell has been working to cater to chicken lovers, launching this menu nationwide back in March. Alongside the burrito, the Cantina Chicken Menu includes various options such as tacos, quesadillas, and even a Cantina Chicken Bowl.

Meanwhile, in Charlotte, residents can try the Strawberry Passionfruit Aguas Refrescas for just $3.99. This refreshing green tea drink combines strawberry passionfruit flavours with dehydrated strawberry pieces, served in a 20-ounce cup. This drink is part of a broader test that Taco Bell initiated in April, featuring various fruit-infused Aguas Refrescas. Initially tested at a Southern California location, other flavours included Peach Mango and Dragonfruit Berry, hinting at Taco Bell’s commitment to keeping its drink options fresh and appealing.

At a special “Live Más Live” event in April, Taco Bell teased even more upcoming items. These include Crispy Chicken Nuggets, Cheesy Street Chalupas, a Cheesy Enchilada Dipping Taco, and a new dessert, the Baja Blast pie. The buzz surrounding these potential menu additions shows that Taco Bell is eager to innovate and bring excitement to its offerings.
After a short-lived launch in June, Taco Bell will also be reviving its Cheez-It Crunchwrap Supreme, now featuring an extra large Cheez-It cracker for an even more satisfying crunch. This unique item arose from the desire to merge one of Taco Bell's fan-favorite dishes with the beloved cheesy snack. The Cheez-It Crunchwrap comes with a new lineup of prices, including the Big Cheez-It Crunchwrap Supreme for $5.49, a standalone Big Cheez-It for $1.00, and the Big Cheez-It Tostada for $2.99. There’s also a Big Cheez-It Crunchwrap Combo available for $9.99, which includes the Crunchwrap, a Beefy 5-Layer Burrito, Nacho Fries, and a medium fountain drink.

Additionally, Taco Bell is introducing a new hot sauce, the Disha Hot Sauce, created in collaboration with Mexican-American musician Omar Apollo. Inspired by his family's recipe, this sauce combines roasted tomatillos, white vinegar, tomatoes, onions, peppers, lime juice, and a unique family spice blend. Taco Bell describes the Disha Hot sauce as having a smoky, bold flavour, reflecting Omar Apollo’s heritage and traditions. Customers can try this sauce for just 20 cents per packet.
For those looking to explore the Disha Hot flavor further, Taco Bell offers the Disha Hot Discovery Box for $8.99. This box includes three packets of the new hot sauce, along with a Cheesy Gordita Crunch, a Crunchy Taco, a Doritos Locos Taco, chips with nacho cheese, and a medium fountain drink.
