Taco Bell's Decades Menu Revives a Sweet Classic: The Caramel Apple Empanada Returns!
The aroma of nostalgia is in the air, and it smells deliciously like Taco Bell's Caramel Apple Empanada! After a five-year hiatus that left fans clamoring for its return, this beloved dessert is making a triumphant comeback. It's all part of Taco Bell's Decades Menu, a heartwarming homage to the fast-food chain's storied past, featuring iconic items from each era since the swinging '60s.
The Caramel Apple Empanada's Sweet Comeback
The Caramel Apple Empanada, a staple of the 2000s at Taco Bell, is the latest addition to the Decades Menu, joining the ranks of other fan favorites like the Tostada, Green Sauce Burrito, Meximelt, and Gordita Supreme. Each item represents a different decade, bringing a taste of history to over 7,000 Taco Bell locations nationwide.
Starting November 21, customers can once again savor the Caramel Apple Empanada's golden-brown, crispy exterior, filled with tender apple pieces and a rich caramel center. This dessert's unexpected departure from the menu in 2019 left a void in the hearts (and stomachs) of many. But now, for a limited time, it's back and as delectable as ever, priced at an irresistible $2.99.
A Love Letter to Loyal Customers
Taco Bell's Chief Marketing Officer, Taylor Montgomery, describes the Decades Menu as a “love letter” to the chain's patrons. It's a thank you note for years of loyalty and a reminder of those special moments that made customers fall in love with Taco Bell. Whether it's a trip down memory lane or a new discovery, the Caramel Apple Empanada is sure to rekindle fond memories or create new ones.
Value and Nostalgia Hand in Hand
In keeping with Taco Bell's commitment to being a “value-focused brand,” all items on the Decades Menu are priced under $3. This pricing strategy resonates with customers who have been vocal about their desire for the return of “vintage prices”. The Decades Menu not only brings back cherished menu items but also honors the spirit of affordability that has been a part of Taco Bell's identity.
Merchandise and More
For those looking to celebrate the Decades Menu beyond the palate, Taco Bell has released a line of merchandise, including Stainless-Steel Decades Cups adorned with logos from each era.
While supplies last, fans can also snag plastic cup versions with Decades Menu item purchases at select locations. And for the truly devoted, Limited Edition Decades Hoodies are available on Taco Bell's website.

A New Contender: Crispy Chicken Nuggets
As the Caramel Apple Empanada enjoys its spotlight, Taco Bell isn't resting on its laurels. A new menu contender is also drawing attention: Crispy Chicken Nuggets. These nuggets, tested in Houston, Texas, earlier this year, feature all-white meat chicken marinated in a mild jalapeño buttermilk and coated with crunchy tortilla bits. With two sauce options, Bell Sauce or Jalapeño Honey Mustard, they're poised to be the next big hit.
The Competition Heats Up
Taco Bell isn't the only fast-food giant stirring up excitement with menu revivals. Competitors like McDonald's are also bringing back fan favorites, sparking a delicious rivalry that benefits all fast-food aficionados.
