A burrito that could bend the Man of Steel. A colorful treat that,
for now, is only a memory. And one item so beloved a dedicated app was designed
to help you find it. These are the Taco Bell secret menu items you never knew about.
Not every Taco Bell secret menu item is actually an item you need to hack your way into ordering.
Some, like the Enchirito, are just old offerings you can still get at Taco Bell. The Enchirito is
an enchilada combined with a burrito, and it's been around for decades. It was regularly served
at Taco Bell outlets across the U.S. by 1970 and was advertised as being "a meal in itself."
While the Enchirito was officially discontinued in 1993, they did revive it in 1999, much to
the happiness of longtime Taco Bell fans. Sadly, it was discontinued again in 2013.
Luckily, you can still order this classic legend. According to #HackTheMenu,
to get this tasty item, all you have to do is ask for it. There's not a hack, per se,
but you'll still feel pretty cool ordering this classic burrito that isn't on the actual menu.
Okay, back to praising Taco Bell because we have to give credit where credit is due. And we can't
talk about Taco Bell credit without mentioning the Doritos Shell Anything menu hack. Taco Bell's
famed creation, the Doritos Locos Tacos, is a taco that is made with a Doritos shell. Taco Bell's
inspired Doritos-based offering tells us that the chain can do just about anything with a Dorito
shell. Enter: the Doritos Shell Anything hack. Why limit that shell to just a couple of menu items
when you can apply it to basically anything? As #HackTheMenu tells us, this trick knows no limits.
The key to this hack is to politely ask Taco Bell employees to integrate
the Doritos shell into your meal in whatever form you prefer. You could
ask for the taco shell of your regular taco to be replaced with a Doritos shell.
You could even ask them to crush it up and serve it in place of tortilla strips.
Did you know that most Taco Bell items can be ordered fresco style? Ordering an item this
way replaces all dairy-based ingredients, such as sour cream and cheese, with diced tomatoes.
This is a valuable menu hack — one that proves once again that Taco Bell is dedicated
to customer care by giving fans a wide variety of options with which to customize their food.
"Welcome to Taco Bell! Enjoy your meal sir."
Fresco style is perfect for anyone who is looking for a lighter meal.
It's also a wonderful way to tweak menu options to suit your needs — particularly if you're a
vegan or have other dietary restrictions. While all items can be ordered fresco style,
some are bound to taste better than others. VegNews recommends trying
it with items such as the Black Bean Crunchwrap Supreme, Black Bean Chalupa,
Loaded Nacho Taco, Power Menu Bowl, Bean Burrito, Soft and Crunchy Tacos, or Soft Taco Supreme.
If you're a long-time Taco Bell fan, then you'll remember the Chilito,
or, the chili cheese burrito that was popular in the '90s. It's a mouthwatering
twist on a burrito that includes delicious chili. This one isn't technically a hack,
but a previously discontinued item that you can still get at select locations. And it has
such a cult following that there's even a chili cheese burrito locator to help you get your fix.
If the Taco Bell location you're at doesn't sell the chili cheese burrito,
just ask them to add chili to your burrito. But why stop there? Your
tacos and quesadillas are just begging for a little chili goodness as well.
If you had the Taco Bell Meximelt back when it was actually on the menu, you might still
be dreaming about this part soft taco, part quesadilla. Much to the dismay of its fans,
though, the chain removed the Meximelt from its menu in 2019.
Luckily, you can still order this delicious quesadilla.
According to a Quora thread, the ingredients used to concoct this extinct item are still
available at Taco Bell. So, as one Quora user instructs, simply ask for a cheesy rollup, then
have them stuff it with pico de gallo and beef to obtain your beloved Meximelt. As an added bonus,
you will end up paying less than you would have when it was an authentic menu item.
If you're willing to roll up your sleeves and do the necessary ordering work, you can
get your hands on the Meximelt, as well as many other secret menu items. You can thank us later.
Hide your Kryptonite, because The Superman Burrito is a fan favorite secret menu item
you have to try. This is an unbelievably tasty burrito that combines cheese,
beef, and potatoes to create a bite that is both super and out of this world.
"Up in the sky, look!"
"It's a bird!"
“It's a plane!"
"It's Superman!"
Like its namesake, it's heroically mighty, both in terms of taste and size. According
to Secret Menu Source, it's one of the largest items you can order at Taco Bell.
In staying true to its name, this burrito will leave you with enough energy to save
the world — that is, if you're not slumped over in a food coma afterward.
Secret Menu Source explains that to order this item, get a cheesy double beef burrito and
ask them to pack it with extra potatoes, sour cream, guacamole, and crispy tortilla strips.
Customers who needed a break from all the carbs, cheese, beef,
and guacamole on the secret menu could look no further than the Taco Bell Tie Dye Freeze.
The chain introduced the Pineapple Whip Freeze in 2020,
joining the Baja Blast and Wild Strawberry flavors. This menu
hack combined all of these into a frozen medley of fruity flavors and bright colors.
To order, fans would simply ask for the Tie Dye Freeze at their location of choice.
Taco Bell happily serves up customized drinks, encouraging customers to experiment with
mixing flavors and requesting add-ins. The company truly deserves appreciation for the
ways in which it's always looking out for its customers — except, of course, when it's
discontinuing beloved items. And unfortunately, some of the flavors are currently unavailable,
but you never know! It could come back in the near future!
