and life is all about leaving something behind
isn't it over the course of 50 years in business taco bell has said hola and adios to many menu
items over the decades well get ready to feel nostalgic and probably a little hungry
because we're counting down the top 10 taco bell items you can't order anymore you know
what we're talking about maybe but i can't serve you something you don't even know the name of
the truly fickle nature of nacho fries site where'd you get that nacho fries are one of the
most popular menu items at taco bell that are no longer served anymore well sort of the thing about
nacho fries is they are incredibly high in demand but for some reason keep getting cut from the menu
someone needs to teach taco bell basic high school economics all of that to say that if you
can't order your beloved nacho fries this month that may not be the case next month or even in a
week's time like your favorite musician who says good night and walks off stage nacho fries always
seem to come back for an encore initially launched in 2018 nacho fries were immediately successful
although previously on the menu at taco bells around the world u.s patrons begged for the nacho
fries to come to america and they did the fries themselves have been specially designed to hold
just about the perfect amount of sick nacho cheese sauce without the fry breaking or falling
now that's epic engineering fries have been crinkled curled waffled but they've never been
nachos the tandem doritos cool ranch and fiery tacos apparently when taco bell removed these
items from the menu they had to break it to their customers gently giving context to the eliminatory
decision taco bell said in a press release have you ever had that moment where you just want to
chop all your hair off buy new clothes and get a fresh new start and then they proceeded to make
the big reveal by saying well we kind of did a thing the cool ranch doritos locos tacos and the
fiery doritos locos tacos were two beloved fan favorites that can sadly no longer be purchased
how does that feel ginny unfortunately for the many fans of the variety tacos at taco bell
in 2019 the restaurant decided to remove both items and refocus on the original doritos
locos taco featuring the traditional nacho cheese dorito flavor say it ain't so for anyone seriously
missing these amazing tacos here's a little suggestion for you until the bell hopefully
decides to bring them back for good homemade nachos are phenomenal when the regular tortilla
chips are replaced with doritos of any kind so why not try cool ranch nachos at home this will give
us something to snack on while waiting patiently for the return of the ultimate taco bell food we
can no longer order very uncomfortable situation you are making this uncomfortable todd the
surprising blackjack taco black dog black taco and one of their most popular promotional campaigns of
all time in 2009 taco bell famously launched one of their most memorable discontinued menu items
just in time for halloween aka spooky season the blackjack taco is incredibly recognizable as its
main distinguishing feature was actually a dark black taco shell inside the shell were the common
hard shell taco ingredients including the shredded cheese blend beef etc in addition it also included
taco bell's classic baja sauce which kicked up the flavor profile significantly while many of
the menu items listed have made brief returns due to their wild popularity be prepared because this
menu item may not be returning anytime soon well yeah i'm sad one of the biggest complaints about
the blackjack taco well we don't know how to say this we're just going to say it supposedly
the food dye and the taco shell itself has the unpleasant side effect of changing the color of
well customers poop customers had commented on how their waist was suddenly a bright shade of green
perhaps this halloween promo ended up being way more of a trick than a treat and definitely way
scarier well i got an idea you mind if i use your bathroom to do number two
the departure of the mexican pizza i used to love these when i used to go to taco bell so here's a
mexican pizza removed from the menu in november of 2020 the mexican pizza itself is easily one of the
most outrageous menu items ever created by taco bell this crazy lunch or dinner option includes
two flour tortillas that have been crisped and act as the pizza dough and a base layer for the
toppings between the two tortillas lies classic taco bell beef and beans the entire dish is
then coated in a layer of cheese before being topped with tomatoes and sour cream delicious
truthfully the mexican pizza really resembles a sort of reconstructed quesadilla more than a pizza
unfortunately the mexican pizza will be another disappointment added to the list during the year
that was 2020. with the rise of drive-through service and takeout orders restaurants like
taco bell have had to scale back their menus to only offer the fastest and most popular items
although mexican pizza has been a fan fave for years it's time-consuming nature as well as its
inconvenient method of consumption meant that the mexican pizza was unfortunately an easy target you
are the weakest link goodbye trevor you are the weakest link goodbye the taco bell encharito is
gone gone tell me why this absolute beast of a taco bell legend got its name authentically
the story goes that apparently one taco bell employee witnessed enchilada burritos being sold
somewhere when he returned to headquarters with his discovery the brand began to play with the
recipe and branding ideas and bam the encharito was born this massive meal was met with almost
instant success due to its phenomenal value and mouth-watering taste the encharito is actually
one of taco bell's oldest menu items having originally launched in the 1960s at its debut
the dish featured a tortilla stuffed with beef beans or frijoles and onions the meal was then
wrapped like a burrito and covered in loads of taco bell red sauce cheese and three black
olives with optional sour cream oh my gosh guys this is so good although the item was relatively
successful it was oddly removed from the menu in 1993. supposedly this was done because customers
would not stop harassing employees to make this meal secret menu style eventually it returned to
the menu in a scaled-down format before finally being laid to rest in 2013. to this day people
are still talking about the encharito online it seems like the love for the encharito may
die harder than even the dish itself taco bell the disappearance of the volcano taco all right
with the removal of the volcano taco from the taco bell menu in one fell swoop two beloved menu items
were taken from customers talk about an eruption a rather disruption both the volcano taco with
its fiery red shell as well as the lava sauce the hot sauce that made it so spicy and popular
were beloved by fans for their intense heat and flavor taco bell even advertised this taco as the
spiciest to ever be served in their restaurants and possibly anywhere to begin with this taco
started with a flaming hot red shell that was the base of this hot and fiery meal the taco fillings
themselves were fairly standard focusing on the classic ingredients for any taco bell
hard shell taco seasoned beef tomato lettuce and shredded cheese someone's got the cheese fix again
the main flavor booster for this taco came from the inclusion of the mystical lava sauce that
fans are still craving to this day this sauce was supposedly a cheese-based hot sauce that took the
volcano taco from fun to fearsome according to one reviewer if you like the heat this was certainly
the taco bell taco for you as it delivers some seriously unexpected fireworks kind of like an
impromptu independence day celebration taking place in your mouth do you think taco bell needs
to bring this back definitely the lava sauce the supremely popular nachos supreme i'm about to eat
nachos it's the greatest moment of my life nachos are probably one of the most iconic americanized
mexican foods and possibly the most craved one whether it's a plate for sharing with friends at
a bar homemade nachos on game day or just a lunch for one nothing can beat the great taste of nachos
they hit all the right notes so many will be surprised to know that another one of taco bell's
most recently discontinued menu items also happens to be one of the most classic say it isn't so well
yes it is so the nachos supreme have long been considered the ultimate side dish at taco bell
as of 2020 many may have noticed the american menu making some major changes as they refocus
the brand on the main menu items cheese these nachos this rebrand almost entirely has removed
side dishes from the menu nacho supreme was simply the most ultimate of all these sides to face the
chopping block taco bell started out with their classic nacho chips and loaded them up with spicy
taco bell seasoned beef delicious creamy nacho cheese sauce sour cream and diced tomatoes this
menu item is now a distant memory of the past but there are bound to be exciting advancements from
taco bell just around the corner let's not forget taco bell is one of the ultimate restaurants
when it comes to promotional and creative menu items so they will not disappoint their fan base
you can count on that that's my notch the popular seven-layer burrito that is no more
what if this could change to the world a burrito yeah unfortunately as american fans are well aware
in july of 2020 one of the most iconic menu items the seven layer burrito was removed
from the taco bell menu indefinitely oh the injustice due to the constantly changing
economic and dining climate taco bell like many other fast food restaurants had to sadly
remodel themselves and their menus to better serve their loyal customers breakfast burrito saturday
in order to stay afloat more intricate menu items like ones with seven layers of ingredients
needed to be removed from menu boards womp womp as many taco bell connoisseurs will remember this
beautiful burrito was packed full of beans rice cheese sour cream guac lettuce and tomatoes yum
galore it was also available in beef chicken and steak varieties for those who needed an even extra
layer of meat to feel truly satisfied andy this was delicious double the fun double decker taco
that's totally tacos as one of the more tame additions to the list the double decker taco
focused more on the basic menu ingredients and value over the addition of exciting new flavors
or toppings the traditional item started as a classic hard shell taco complete with taco bell
ground beef lettuce and shredded cheese steal a game steal up then in order to create the double
decker layer the entire taco is wrapped in a soft shell taco with a thin layer of refried
beans separating the two the double decker was originally introduced to the market in 1995 when
shaquille o'neal and hakeem elijahwan introduced it in an advertising campaign after finally being
retired in 2019 the double-decker taco remains one of the most beloved taco bell items of all time
dreamy vegetarian spicy tostada i totally want one the spicy tostada was every vegetarian's
dream taco bell item kind of like the brad pitt or halle berry of food orders
added as a value menu item perfect for vegetarian customization it featured a crunchy tostada shell
slathered in refried beans lettuce tomato cheese red sauce and chipotle sauce all right that sounds
good that sounds good it offered up a feeling of freshness in comparison to some of the potentially
more soggy menu items like burritos however considering taco bell is refocusing towards an
easier menu it was only a matter of time before the spicy tostada was removed for this very reason
much to the dismay of vegetarians while the tostada was a relatively easy menu item
its messy assembly and time-consuming nature were too much for the fast food chain and it was time
for the crunchy treat to retire just as with the rest of the items on this list the time has come
for us to move on and look forward to new taco bell experiences with plant-based diets on the
rise who knows maybe we'll get to enjoy a new veggie burrito in the future here's hopin would
