Revived Decade-Themed QSR Menus

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

This New Taco Bell Menu Has Five Nostalgic Offerings

— August 15, 2024 — Lifestyle
This new Taco Bell menu is being launched by the QSR brand in Southern California to provide diners with a nostalgic experience that's focused on a curated range of items they're sure to enjoy. The menu includes the Tostada, Green Burrito, Meximelt, Beef Gordita Supreme and the Caramel Apple Empanada from the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s and 2000s, respectively. The various items will be offered for a short time in August at participating locations, but only while supplies last to encourage diners to act fast.

Chief Marketing Officer Taylor Montgomery commented on the nostalgic Taco Bell menu saying, "Thanks to our rich history, we have a vault of craveable products our fans have become passionate about and we continuously explore ways to reintroduce the ones that deliver on the comfort and value they are looking for. Now, we’re thrilled to unite two groups of fans: those who fondly remember these menu items and those who have yet to experience the delight of a Caramel Apple Empanada or savor their first bite of a Meximelt with this menu.”
