When Taco Bell reveals its menu in a spectacular live video from New York City, you know it has big ambitions for 2025. During its annual “Live Más” live event at the Brooklyn Paramount on Tuesday, the fast food giant revealed its intentions for the rest of the year.
Fans nationwide “oohed and aahed” when new menu items like the Flamin’ Hot Burrito and Quesocrisp Taco were introduced. A new Mountain Dew Baja Blast flavor, Mountain Dew Baja Midnight, was also introduced by the restaurant during Live Más, so it wasn’t simply the Taco Bell menu that attracted attention.
“A sweet and refreshing blast of passionfruit flavor combined with the familiar tropical lime flavor of Baja Blast” is how the fast food restaurant describes its newest beverage to enter its portfolio.
Taco Bell intends to revive some beloved classics, such as the Double Decker Taco and the Cool Ranch Doritos Locos Tacos, even if there are a ton of new menu items to keep us full this year.
The Taco Bell Test Kitchen is still working hard to come up with menu items that you might see at Taco Bell in the future, even with the exciting new releases. The Mexican Pizza Empanada, Mini Taco Salad, Brisket Taco, Salted Caramel & Toffee Cream Empanada Bite, and Poutine Fries are some of the delicious items they’re working on right now. We’re already in a tight spot because of that final menu item.
The whole roster for Taco Bell’s 2025 rollouts is provided below if you’d like to learn more.
The following Taco Bell menu items will be available in 2025:
- Luxe Cravings Boxes: In keeping with its goal of giving every fan more flavor, more options, and more value, Taco Bell stepped up its unrivaled value offers earlier this year by launching the $5, $7, and $9 Luxe Cravings Boxes.
- The Caliente Cantina Chicken Menu: a daring new take on its beloved slow-roasted Cantina Chicken, is Taco Bell’s way of turning up the heat. This temporary menu adds a hot touch to beloved dishes with the brand-new Caliente Sauce, which is prepared with red jalapeños for the ideal combination of flavor and heat. Additionally, the Caliente Cantina Chicken Menu will be available on menus across Canada.
- Decades Menu: The brand is returning to its menu items from the early 2000s and 2010s, such as the Cool Ranch Doritos® Locos Tacos and Double Decker Taco, after bringing back nostalgic favorites last year.
- Fan Style: With “Fan Style,” an in-app feature that lets fans personalize, name, and share their own Taco Bell customization with friends, family, and other fans, fans will have the chance to influence Taco Bell’s menu by adding things like guacamole and fiesta strips to a Cantina Chicken Burrito or switching out tomatoes for pico de gallo in a Crunchwrap Supreme. The company is also looking into ways to award fans with reward points when someone orders their customized order; more information will be released later this year.
- Grilled Cheese Burrito with Shredded Beef: Everything fans adore about the Grilled Cheese Burrito, now featuring shredded beef.
- Toasted Cheddar Street Chalupa: With game-changing improvements from the outside in, the Toasted Cheddar Street Chalupa is a bold take on the Cheesy Street Chalupa. It features a layer of crispy cheese that is toasted on the outside for the ideal crunch, cheddar baked into the shell, and a brand-new Chile Lime Crema Sauce that adds a burst of flavor. With their selection of marinated grilled steak or slow-roasted chicken, garnished with chopped onions and cilantro and served in pairs, it’s bursting with flavors that fans adore from the streets.
- Crispy Chicken: After making a big impression on menus in late 2024, crispy chicken nuggets are making a comeback. This year, Avocado Ranch and Spicy Ranchero Sauce will be available on menus in the United States and Canada in addition to a la carte options such as Crispy Chicken Burritos and Tacos.
- Mike’s Hot Honey® Diablo Sauce: Together with Mike’s Hot Honey®, Taco Bell has developed the robust and fiery Mike’s Hot Honey® Diablo sauce, which will be available on menus later this year alongside Crispy Chicken Nuggets.
- Flamin’ Hot® Burrito: This brand-new burrito is made with seasoned beef, Flamin’ Hot® Rice, Flamin’ Hot® Fritos®, reduced-fat sour cream, and nacho cheese sauce, all of which are wrapped in a warm tortilla.
- Steak and Queso Crunchwrap Sliders: Even though the Crunchwrap Supreme has seen numerous changes over the years, the most recent Crunchwrap innovation perfectly captures the brand’s distinctive crunch, cheese, and flavor balance. With grilled marinated beef, creamy chipotle sauce, pico de gallo, cheddar cheese, and a mini tostada wrapped in grilled flour tortillas, these incredibly portable sliders improve the classic menu item. They come in a fun-sized pair of two and come with the ideal dipping ingredient, Green Chile Queso. In Canada, steak and queso crunchwrap sliders are also becoming popular.
- Rolled Poblano Quesadilla: Poblano peppers and marinated beef or slow-roasted chicken are folded into one delicious quesadilla.
- Milk Bar Birthday Cake Churros: At the end of February, Taco Bell and Milk Bar got back together to offer customers a brand-new, while-supplies-last snack that was full of birthday cheer: Milk Bar Birthday Cake Churros! With each bite of the warm and crispy churros stuffed with Milk Bar’s famous birthday cake frosting and garnished with sugar and festive sprinkles, fans enjoyed the ultimate treat experience for their second culinary collaboration. While stocks last, it is currently accessible in the United States and Canada.
- MOUNTAIN DEW BAJA MIDNIGHT™: Any Taco Bell meal is enhanced by the famous tropical lime flavor of Baja Blast, which is paired with a sweet and cool burst of passionfruit flavor. Taco Bell restaurants are the only places to get this beverage.
- Quesocrisp Taco: This brand-new taco has a crunchy cheese shell.
