VAUGHAN, ON, Nov. 25, 2024 /CNW/ - For decades, Taco Bell Canada has been a backdrop for unforgettable memories – from anxiety-inducing first dates to unforgettable birthday parties. All these moments began with a trip to the nearest Taco Bell. Starting today, Taco Bell Canada is honouring its loyal Canadian fans and their multi-generational love for the brand by bringing back two of the most iconic menu items from the past 50 years. The nostalgia-packed lineup includes the 1980s Meximelt® and the beloved 2000s Caramel Apple Empanada– each for $3.50 or less*, for a limited time only.
Since opening its doors in 1979, Taco Bell has been a trailblazer in bringing bold, innovative flavours to fans across Canada, creating a vault of fan-favourite items that customers still crave, even years later. The Meximelt® and Caramel Empanada will bring together long-time Taco Bell enthusiasts with new fans eager to experience these legendary flavours for the first time.
"There's something special about Taco Bell that sticks with you – whether it's a childhood favourite or a day-time craving. This is our way of celebrating that connection by offering fans a chance to relive the flavours they love, and for a new generation to discover what all the hype is about," said Meera Patel, Marketing Director, Taco Bell Canada. "Whether you're a fan of the cheesy Meximelt® or satisfying your sweet tooth with a Caramel Apple Empanada, these additions to our Cravings Value Menu offer a delicious bite at a great price."
As part of Taco Bell's Canada commitment to value, both items will be available for under $3.50 or less* on the Cravings Value Menu at participating locations nationwide. Take a trip down memory lane with these beloved menu items:
