Taco Bell is releasing a new "decades menu" to reintroduce fan favorites from eras past — and Arizonans can get a sneak peek in Scottsdale next week.
Why it matters: "Yo Quiero Taco Bell."
The big picture: The Taco Bell at McDowell and Hayden roads — one of few locations that still bears the mission-style design of Taco Bell's earlier days — will host a 1960s-themed pop-up with the vintage menu items on Oct. 30 from 11am to close.
- The first 100 guests will receive a hoodie and stainless steel cup bearing one of the restaurant's former logos.
Zoom in: The new (again) dishes, which will be available at all locations starting Oct. 31, include:
- Tostada ($2.19): One of the OG menu items from the first Taco Bell in southern California, which opened in 1962.
- Green Sauce Burrito ($2.49): A sauce made of green chili, tomatillos, jalapeño peppers and spices elevates a classic bean burrito in this '70s favorite.
- Meximelt ($2.99): Three kinds of cheese, pico and beef are melted inside a tortilla in this cult-classic '80s item.
- Gordita Supreme ($2.99): Nothing says the '90s like this gluttonous concoction: A flatbread stuffed with beef, sour cream and cheese.
1 sweet thing: The caramel apple empanada, a delicious staple of the Y2K menu, will return for a limited time on Nov. 21 for $2.99.
You tell us: What retired Taco Bell order do you miss the most?
- It's the Cheesy Beefy Melt for me.
