Taco Bell fans were recently given the opportunity to vote online to bring back one discontinued menu item, with the Enchirito winning over the Double Decker Taco in a 62 to 38 percent vote. Despite the loss, fans of the Double Decker Taco voiced their desire for its return on social media, prompting Taco Bell to bring the beloved menu item back for a limited time in December. With overwhelming positive responses from fans, the Double Decker Taco made a return to the Taco Bell menu on October 10, priced at just $2.
Originally debuting in 1995 and later becoming a permanent menu item in 2006, the Double Decker Taco eventually left the menu in 2019 after a long run. However, due to the demands of loyal fans, the Tex-Mex chain has decided to bring back the Double Decker Taco for a limited time, following the success of the online voting campaign. Fans of the two-layer treat, which features a beef, lettuce, and cheese hard shell taco inside a refried bean-smeared flour tortilla, were thrilled with its return and are hopeful for a permanent comeback in the future.
In addition to the Double Decker Taco, Taco Bell has also teased the return of other throwback menu items, such as the Tostada, Green Burrito, Meximelt, Beef Gordita Supreme, and Caramel Apple Empanada, as part of their Nostalgic Menu which was tested in August. There are rumors that this nostalgic menu may soon be available nationwide, so fans of these discontinued items may have more chances to enjoy their favorites once again. For those who miss the limited-time window for the Double Decker Taco, there is a copycat recipe available to recreate the popular menu item at home.
