Taco Bell Nacho Fries Are Coming Back

Taco Bell is helping us end 2020 on a cheesy note.

After a long and difficult year, Taco Bell shared some good news on Wednesday (December 16). Nacho Fries will be making a comeback. The popular menu item hasn't been available at Taco Bell since January.

According to Taco Bell, the company decided to bring back Nacho Fries at this particular moment because they know "fans could use the warmth and tradition that only Nacho Fries bring to the table." Though there has been a number of iterations of Nacho Fries over the years, this time they are coming back in their original form—crisp, golden fries are boldly seasoned with Mexican spices and served with a side of warm nacho cheese sauce. 

“In a year as difficult and uncertain as this one was, we know that consumers crave the comforts they love most. That’s why we’re excited to bring back Nacho Fries for our passionate fans to close out this year and kick-off 2021 positively and deliciously,” Nikki Lawson, Taco Bell’s Chief Global Brand Officer, said in a press release. “The magic of the Nacho Fries franchise extends beyond the menu item itself and is brought to life with our next saga of the Nacho Fries movie franchise that we hope brings some seasonal (and seasoned) joy to fans like only we can.”

Like many restaurants, Taco Bell trimmed its menu during the pandemic. This meant a number of popular items, including Mexican Pizza, were removed from menus nationwide. The return of Nacho Fries, however, proves that beloved menu items can always make a comeback. Nacho Fries will be available a la carte for $1.39 and in a $5 box featuring Nacho Fries, a Beefy 5-Layer Burrito, a Crunchy Taco and a medium fountain drink.

Wait, there's more—Nacho Fries won’t be the only item hitting menus on December 24. It will be accompanied by the $1 Loaded Nacho Taco, Taco and Burrito Cravings Pack and Bacon Club Chalupa. These items will be available for a limited time only. Taco Bell run, anyone?
