Semi-related: I’d really like to meet the person who named the “Doritos Locos Taco”. Was it really that loco or were they being dramatic?

I never feel like more of a jackass than when I’m saying the names of Taco Bell menu items aloud

I inwardly cringe at fast food places for this sometimes. I realise this is a me problem.

“I’ll have a no. 7 please.”
“What’s that, sir?”
“The banger mega triple deluxe hungernator please.”
“Say it louder so everyone can hear you order your meal, sir.”
“I… A… banger mega triple deluxe hungernator. Please.”

I want a Cravings Deluxe Box, please.

Taco Ball also has quesalupas, which is going too far with the naming scheme. I also agree that Doritos Locos Tacos is a dumb name.

    The New Cantina Chicken Menu

    The Cantina Chicken Menu debuts a new flavorful chicken that’s been oven-roasted, shredded, and packed with a savory seasoning of Mexican spices including pasilla and other varieties of chilies. Also, the menu adds all-new ingredients including purple cabbage, pico de gallo, a white corn taco shell and an addition to the brand’s sauce packet lineup, Avocado Verde Salsa. The menu adds five items that will soon be available nationwide to satisfy any craving – any time of day – including the Cantina Chicken Burrito, Cantina Chicken Taco (soft or crispy), Cantina Chicken Quesadilla and the Cantina Chicken Bowl.

    2024 Food Innovations and Partnerships

    Taco Bell is bringing more bold and intentionally Mexican-inspired flavors to the world in 2024. More than a dozen food innovations are making their way out of the Test Kitchen and will be available to fans for a limited time at participating locations, while supplies last. These newest menu items include:

    • Cheesy Chicken Crispanada: Arriving to menus nationwide on February 15, the Cheesy Chicken Crispanada consists of tender chicken marinated and slow cooked with garlic, tomato and onion, combined with a harmonious blend of monterey pepper jack, cheddar and mozzarella cheeses, all tucked inside a delicate pastry dough crisped to perfection. The menu item takes inspiration from the beloved empanada and is fused with the Taco Bell flavors fans already love.
    • Crispy Chicken Nuggets: Taco Bell is bringing yet another chicken innovation in Crispy Chicken Nuggets, which consists of all-white meat chicken marinated in spiced jalapeño buttermilk before being breaded in a tortilla coating and fried to crispy glory. Fans can choose from two new delectable sauce options: signature Bell sauce, crafted with tomatoes, red chiles, onion, and garlic, or the hot and sweet Jalapeño Honey Mustard, featuring sweet honey mustard with a kick of jalapeño.
    • Cheesy Street Chalupas: The Cheesy Street Chalupas feature a cheesy flatbread with a small tortilla that is stuffed generously with a mouthwatering blend of mozzarella and pepper jack cheeses and fried together then filled with a choice of slow-roasted chicken or savory grilled, marinated steak, a flavorful sauce, and topped with a layer of diced onions and cilantro. Each order will come with two Cheesy Street Chalupas.
    • MTN DEW BAJA BLAST Gelato: First tested in 2023, the gelato will be making its nationwide debut, giving fans more ways to celebrate the Baja Blast 20th year anniversary. The creamy treat is infused with the iconic BAJA BLAST Tropical Lime flavor.
    • Cheesy Enchilada Dipping Taco: Building on the success of last year’s Grilled Cheese Dipping Taco, Taco Bell is introducing a new version that adds inspiration from enchiladas via the Cheesy Enchilada Dipping Taco, featuring slow roasted chicken and a layered enchilada dipping sauce.
    • Dulce de Leche Cinnabon Delights: Taco Bell is bringing more flavors to the iconic Cinnabon Delights with a new Dulce de Leche flavor.
    • The Cheez-It Crunchwrap is landing nationwide this year in a big way. Giving fans one of the most surprising menu item collaborations ever, the Cheez-It Crunchwrap features a real Cheez-It Cracker sixteen times the size of a normal one, with seasoned beef, nacho cheese sauce, and all the classic Crunchwrap fixings, all wrapped inside a folded tortilla.
    • Secret Aardvark: The Portland-based hot sauce brand has been creating flavorful sauces inspired by all corners of the globe for 20 years. Now, Taco Bell is partnering with them and adding their iconic Serrabanero sauce to its beloved Nacho Fries for fans nationwide, the combination is sure to spice up tastebuds.
    • Disha Hot: Musician Omar Apollo’s family’s hot sauce, Disha Hot, is a secret recipe that has been passed down for generations and it’s been Omar’s dream to share it with the world. Well now, Omar and Disha Hot are getting their very own sauce packet exclusively at Taco Bell, the perfect pairing for any menu item.
    • Beekeeper Coffee: Innovative newcomer Beekeeper Coffee is best known for ready-to-drink cold brew coffee and latte flavors all featuring a signature drop of honey. Taco Bell partnered with Beekeeper Coffee to create a delicious pick-me-up, the Horchata Cold Brew Latte, taking inspiration from the iconic, cinnamon-flavored Mexican beverage.

    Continuing its tradition to put real power to impact its menu in the hands of its fans, Taco Bell will be letting Rewards Members decide what limited time menu items they want to enjoy this year. This year’s clash of the classics will be between team Mexi Melt and team Caramel Apple Empanada.

    note that these are only the items confirmed to get a nationwide release, they also showed a few test market items and at least one thing (an Ice Cream Chocolate Taco) that was only at the event.

    Baja Blast Gelato?


    BAJA BLAST GELATO???
     
    I legit want to try the Cheez-It Crunchwrap, but I'm a vegetarian and I always feel awkward asking if I can substitue/leave stuff off. But all is not lost, because that gelato calls to me. I'll take that coffee, too.

    Don't feel bad about it! A lot of fast food places are starting to have vegetarian meat substitutes, so they know people want the option. And especially at Taco Bell I'll order stuff and have them add this, remove that, all the time. Never had an issue.

    If you're just looking to avoid the awkward conversation, their app makes it really easy to make substitutions. I think they have one of the best fast food apps.

    Taco Bell’s New Cheesy Chicken Crispanada Brings the Crunch

    The Taco Bell version of an empanada has a few pitfalls, too.

    Would love to hear some impressions from the Fam...

    I had one yesterday and enjoyed it. A little small for the price, and it took a while to make, but the food itself was actually quite good. The empanada was crispy, and the filling was spread pretty generously on the inside, which was a concern I had going in that it would be limited. The ranch dressing dip it comes with really helps if out. All in all, worth trying, might get it again soon.
