Taco Bell's Decades menu brings back 5 fan favorites, including the Caramel Apple Empanada

What better way to revive your nostalgia for the early 2000s than with food from that era?

Beginning Oct. 31, Taco Bell will roll out its Decades Y2K Menu, featuring items that defined the turn of the millennium, including the Green Burrito, Meximelt, and more.

One of the biggest comebacks is the Caramel Apple Empanada, a longtime cult dessert that hasn’t been on menus for years. It will reappear on the menu on November 21.

Here’s what fans can expect from the decades lineup:

• ‘60s – Tostada ($2.19): A crispy corn tostada shell, layered with savory refried beans, tangy red sauce, crispy lettuce and shredded cheese.
• ‘70s – Green Burrito ($2.49): A burrito filled with savory refried beans, crunchy onions, shredded cheddar cheese and green sauce made with green chili, tomatillos, jalapeno peppers and spices.
• ‘80s – Meximelt ($2.99): A cult classic stuffed with a blend of three cheeses, seasoned beef and pico de gallo in a tortilla.
• ‘90s – Beef Gordita Supreme ($2.99): The beloved gordita is a flatbread filled with savory seasoned beef, cool reduced-fat sour cream, crisp lettuce, a blend of three cheeses and diced tomatoes.
• ‘00s – Caramel Apple Empanada ($2.99): A golden pastry filled with warm apple and caramel.

For those wanting more, Taco Bell is also dropping a $9 Discovery Luxe Box, packed with two street-sized Cheesy Street Chalupas, a cheesy bean & rice Burrito, chips, and a drink.

“Thanks to our rich history, we have a vault of craveable products our fans have become passionate about and we continuously explore ways to reintroduce the ones that deliver on the comfort and value they are looking for,” Chief Marketing Officer Taylor Montgomery said in a release. “Now, we’re thrilled to unite two groups of fans: those who fondly remember these menu items and those who have yet to experience the delight of a Caramel Apple Empanada or savor their first bite of a Meximelt with this menu.”

The nostalgia doesn’t stop at food. Taco Bell recently introduced Refrescas, its take on Mexican aguas frescas and the first new Baja Blast flavor in 20 years.

The Decades Menu will be available at Taco Bell locations nationwide for a limited time starting October 31.
