Taco Bell is a beloved restaurant among people who love inexpensive “Mexican” food and Mountain Dew. The fast-food chain has cancelled many of its beloved menu items over the years, and these are the ten we want back the most!
Meximelt
Taco Bell will combine any Mexican dish with any other thing, regardless of the consequences. Often, it results in nonsense. Sometimes, you get genuinely excellent results like the Meximelt, a quesadilla and a taco smushed together. Bring this one back!
Nacho Fries
Nacho fries come and go, but the memory of them is forever. Or something. Taco Bell has brought this popular item back time and again since its initial outing in 2018, using a release schedule similar to McDonald’s McRib sandwich. Fans just want it to stick around permanently already!
Rolled Chicken Tacos
This is another menu item that Taco Bell has placed on the menu and removed a number of times. The rolled chicken tacos are simple and contain only three ingredients—tortilla, shredded chicken, and spicy ranch. They’re a welcome addition to the menu whenever they appear, offering a break from all the ground beef.
Volcano Taco
The red-hot Volcano Taco started as a crossover with Paris Hilton. After all, her catchphrase is “that’s hot.” While the PR stunt was funny, the taco itself featured a unique spicy shell that became a fan favorite—and now many customers want the item back on the menu full-time.
Choco Taco
The Choco Taco was one of the best desserts of the 90s, a genius combination of the form factor of a taco with the ingredients of an ice cream cone. What’s not to love about ice cream you eat from a taco-shaped waffle cone? Please bring this one back, Taco Bell!
Enchirito
The enchirito has been on and off the menu at Taco Bell for years. It’s a unique item, featuring soft tortillas with beans, beef, and onions, topped with nacho cheese, red sauce, and black olives. It’s been an in-app exclusive before, but fans just want it back on the main menu.
Caramel Apple Empanada
Another delicious dessert item, the caramel apple empanada sat on the other end of the temperature spectrum from the Choco Taco. This flaky, baked item is full of warm caramel sauce and sugary apple slices. It was a perfect compliment to a Taco Bell meal!
Waffle Taco
Taco Bell started serving breakfast in the mid-2010s, and one of their earlier experiments was the bizarre, but beloved, waffle taco. This item takes a breakfast taco and replaces the tortilla with a waffle. That’s genius and we want it back on the menu ASAP.

Quesalupa
The “quesalupa” is another one of those weird Taco Bell mashups that worked out perfectly. This one is basically two chalupas stacked on top of each other and filled with delicious pepper jack cheese. It vanished after 2016, but fans are still waiting for its return.

Cool Ranch Doritos Locos Tacos
Nacho Cheese Doritos are great, but a lot of people prefer the chip brand’s other major flavor, Cool Ranch. As such, it’s a bit perplexing that Taco Bell stopped serving the Cool Ranch version of their smash-hit Doritos Locos Tacos in 2019.
