Introduction to the Y2K Menu
What better way to revive your nostalgia for the early 2000s than with food from that era? Beginning Oct. 31, Taco Bell will roll out its Decades Y2K Menu, featuring items that defined the turn of the millennium, including the Green Burrito, Meximelt, and more.
The Return of Fan Favorites
One of the biggest comebacks is the Caramel Apple Empanada, a longtime cult dessert that hasn’t been on menus for years. It will reappear on the menu on November 21. The Decades Y2K Menu is a tribute to the past, with each item representing a different decade. Here’s what fans can expect from the decades lineup:
- ‘60s – Tostada ($2.19): A crispy corn tostada shell, layered with savory refried beans, tangy red sauce, crispy lettuce and shredded cheese.
- ‘70s – Green Burrito ($2.49): A burrito filled with savory refried beans, crunchy onions, shredded cheddar cheese and green sauce made with green chili, tomatillos, jalapeno peppers and spices.
- ‘80s – Meximelt ($2.99): A cult classic stuffed with a blend of three cheeses, seasoned beef and pico de gallo in a tortilla.
- ‘90s – Beef Gordita Supreme ($2.99): The beloved gordita is a flatbread filled with savory seasoned beef, cool reduced-fat sour cream, crisp lettuce, a blend of three cheeses and diced tomatoes.
- ‘00s – Caramel Apple Empanada ($2.99): A golden pastry filled with warm apple and caramel.
Additional Offers
For those wanting more, Taco Bell is also dropping a $9 Discovery Luxe Box, packed with two street-sized Cheesy Street Chalupas, a cheesy bean & rice Burrito, chips, and a drink. This offer is perfect for customers who want to try a variety of items from the Decades Y2K Menu.
