Taco Bell Is Bringing Back Some All-Time Fan Favorites And We Are Excited!

Hey, Taco Bell enthusiasts! If your taste buds have been yearning for some exciting new flavors, you’re in for a treat.

Taco Bell has been on a creative spree, rolling out a medley of mouthwatering items that promise to tantalize your palate.

Let’s talk about what’s sizzling on their test menu right now—and trust me, you’re gonna want to be near one of these test cities.

The Flamin’ Hot Burrito

Remember the Beefy Crunch Burrito—the cult favorite that had people rallying for its return? Well, it’s back… but with a whole new attitude. Now going by the name Flamin’ Hot Burrito, this bad boy is being tested in Oklahoma City and it’s coming in hot. Literally.

Imagine seasoned beef, nacho cheese, and sour cream cozied up with Flamin’ Hot Fritos. But that’s not all. This new version throws in Flamin’ Hot rice too—because apparently your mouth wasn’t on fire enough.

Wrapped in a warm tortilla and priced at just $2, this burrito is spicy, crunchy, creamy, and totally extra in the best way.

Crispalupa

Over in Atlanta, Taco Bell is testing something called the Crispalupa. No, it’s not a typo. It’s part crispy, part chalupa, and 100% your new obsession. Think of it as the handheld snack you never knew you needed.

Inside the golden, crunchy shell is slow-roasted Cantina chicken, lettuce, pico de gallo, spicy ranch, and cheddar cheese.

It’s flavorful, portable, and perfect for anyone who’s ever said, “I want something that won’t fall apart while I eat it in my car.” Pricing lands between $3.49 and $4.49, depending on where you are. Either way, it’s a win.

Cantina Chicken Crunchy Tacos

Minneapolis, you’re getting something special too: Cantina Chicken Crunchy Tacos. They’re like regular tacos, but with a crispy white corn shell and some serious upgrades.

You can go classic with just chicken, spicy ranch, lettuce, and cheddar, or go big with the Supreme version—purple cabbage, pico de gallo, and all the crunchy, zesty goodness your taco-loving heart could ask for.

Both come with a side of Avocado Verde Salsa, because creamy, tangy sauce makes everything better. They’ll set you back around $2.59 to $2.99, which is a small price to pay for deliciousness.

Toasted Cheddar Street Chalupas

Now for the big news—this next item is available nationwide! Say hello to Toasted Cheddar Street Chalupas.

These are the delicious love child of Taco Bell’s Toasted Cheddar Chalupa and Cheesy Street Chalupas, and honestly, it’s a match made in fast food heaven.

They’ve taken that iconic fried cheddar-covered shell and filled it with your choice of Cantina chicken or steak, topped with onions, cilantro, and a zingy Chile Lime Crema sauce. It’s savory, it’s cheesy, it’s got a little tang—it’s basically a flavor party in a crispy taco shell.

You can get two for $5.49, or go all-in with the Discovery Luxe Box for $9, which comes with extra goodies. And if you’re part of Taco Bell’s rewards program, you’ll want to be on the app on April 15—they’re offering members a chance to score a chalupa for just $1.

Yes, one dollar. Time to set a reminder.

Caliente Cantina Chicken Nacho Fries

Last but definitely not least, there’s a new player in the Nacho Fries game. The Caliente Cantina Chicken Nacho Fries are here to bring the heat and comfort in one saucy dish.

These aren’t your average fries. They’re loaded with slow-roasted chicken, nacho cheese, crunchy red fiesta strips, and a spicy Caliente Sauce made with red jalapeños. It’s like someone looked at regular nacho fries and said, “Let’s crank this up to 11.” If you love a little fire with your comfort food, this one’s calling your name.

So, what’s the takeaway? Taco Bell is not playing around. Whether they’re revisiting fan favorites or pushing flavor boundaries with totally new creations, the test items this time around are bold, exciting, and seriously crave-worthy.

If you’re lucky enough to live in a test city, consider this your sign to hop in the car and start taste-testing. These items may be limited for now, but if feedback is good (read: if you eat enough of them), there’s always a chance they’ll go nationwide. And who wouldn’t want that?

Taco Bell’s flavor lab is officially in full swing, and we are 100% here for it. Now excuse me while I go daydream about that Crispalupa.
