Taco Bell Brings Back Beloved Menu Item After Five Years

Taco Bell fans rejoice, because the chain is bringing back a fan favorite item that was discontinued back in 2019. Starting on Thursday, Oct, 10, the chain will be offering its beloved Double Decker Taco nationwide for a limited time. But fans will have to act fast, because this delicacy is only available through the end of the month.

The Double Decker Taco was first introduced in 1995 and became a permanent menu item in 2009. However, in 2019 Taco Bell axed it along with a few other staples , including the the Power Menu Burrito and the XXL Grilled Stuft Burrito. It was briefly revived in December 2023, but also only for a limited time.

The conceit of the Double Decker Taco is fairly simple, combining two tacos into one menu item. It features a hard-shelled taco on the inside with beef, lettuce, and shredded cheese, wrapped in a soft flour tortilla. Sandwiched in between is refried beans to meld the two together. A supreme version of the Double Decker Taco also features tomatoes and sour cream inside the hard taco.

And to celebrate the return of the Double Decker Taco, the chain is also offering it at a discount. Through Oct. 30, it will cost just $2 for the regular version and $2.69 for the supreme; compared to $2.99 and $3.69, respectively, last time it was available.

Coincidentally enough, the Double Decker Taco is arriving back on the menu just as Taco Bell has been testing a new "Nostalgic Menu" to bring back discontinued products from throughout the decades. Currently, the menu, which includes the Tostada, Green Burrito, Meximelt, Gordita, and Caramel Apple Empanada, is only available at select locations in Southern California, but is expected to go nationwide by the end of the year.
