Taco Bell is bringing back two menu favorites. When can you get them?
Two menu favorites are making a comeback at Taco Bell, one of which hasn’t been seen in nearly a decade.
People can purchase the original Nacho Fries for a limited time at participating restaurants starting Thursday, Oct. 13, according to the California-based fast food chain.
The “saucy one-of-a-kind” Enchirito will also return to menus after a nationwide vote to revive the fan-favorite. After a near 10-year hiatus, customers will be able to order the enchilada-burrito mashup starting Nov. 17.
The entree was initially yanked from menus in 1993 to make way for newer items before reappearing in 1999 — only to be discontinued in 2013, HuffPost reported. The Enchirito was offered alongside a similar Smothered Burrito at the time and was eventually phased out.
“The menu just wasn’t big enough for the both [items],” Matt Prince, then-public relations manager for Taco Bell, told HuffPost in 2016.
Prices for Nacho Fries and the Enchirito start at $1.79 and $3.79, respectively.
What is Truff Sauce?
The return of the fan-favorites comes alongside the launch of Taco Bell’s new Loaded Truff Nacho Fries, which offer a spicy twist on the original.
The meal features seasoned fries drizzled with Truff hot sauce, an “ultra-unique blend of real black truffles and red chili peppers,” plus grilled steak, shredded cheddar cheese, diced tomatoes, nacho cheese sauce and a dollop of reduced fat sour cream, according to a product description.
The new fries are available for two weeks starting Oct. 13, or while supplies last.
“The Truff team is truly changing the sauce game and we’re thrilled to partner with them to bring our Nacho Fries to the next level in spice and innovation,” Liz Matthews, global chief food innovation officer for Taco Bell, said in a statement.
“Even though it’s not for long, we can’t wait for fans of both brands to try them and we’re thrilled to bring our bold yet luxurious flavor experiment to everyone,” she said.
