The Taco Bell Decades Menu was available for a short time this summer at just three locations in Southern California and fortunately for fans who missed out on experiencing blasts from the past, the nostalgic menu is back, this time for a nationwide rollout.
With the Taco Bell Decades Menu, the quick-service restaurant is reviving five of the most demanded nostalgic menu items from its first five decades: the '60s Tostada, '70s Green Sauce Burrito, '80s Meximelt and '90s Gordita Supreme will hit menus, and starting November 21, and the '00s Caramel Apple Empanada.
Additionally, Taco Bell is introducing a value-packed $7 Luxe Cravings Box and limited-edition merch in the form of hoodies and stainless steel cups that satisfy cravings for nostalgic content.
