Taco Bell’s Nostalgic Y2K Menu Returns

Taco Bell is turning back the clock to the early 2000s with the launch of its Decades Y2K Menu, set to unveil on September 9, 2025. This menu is designed to evoke memories and excitement about one of the most celebrated eras in fast food history. Customers can enjoy a selection of fan-favorite items for $3 or less, including classics like the Cool Ranch® Doritos® Locos Tacos, 7-Layer Burrito, Chili Cheese Burrito, and the Double Decker Taco.

Menu Highlights

Among these favorites, the Caramel Apple Empanada will have an exclusive early release for Taco Bell Rewards members from September 2-8. Releasing beloved items at such budget-friendly prices has sparked immense enthusiasm among loyal fans, many of whom have relentlessly campaigned for the return of these menu staples.

“The 2000s were not just about the food; they were about a culture that blended fun, flavor, and bold styles. Taco Bell is honoring that legacy through this menu,” said Taco Bell’s Chief Marketing Officer, Taylor Montgomery.

Merch and Collaborations

In addition to the menu, fans can enjoy unique merchandise linked to this celebration. Collaborating with Ed Hardy, Taco Bell will drop exclusive merchandise including hats, digital watches, and vintage t-shirts in limited quantities during special weekly Tuesday drops from September 2 through September 16. Fans are encouraged to act quickly as supplies are limited; for example:

• - September 2: Ed Hardy hats at 2 PM PT, only 500 available.
• - September 9: A chance to grab one of 500 digitally themed watches at 2 PM PT.
• - September 16: Vintage-style Decades Y2K T-Shirts again at 2 PM PT for 500 lucky winners.

A Memorable Party

Taco Bell will also host a one-night-only Decades Y2K Party in Los Angeles featuring Grammy-winning artist Lil Jon, tapping into the party vibe of the early 2000s. Attendees will be the first to taste the full Decades Y2K Menu, solidifying the event as a memorable tribute to the era.

At the heart of this celebration is the Crunchkin, Taco Bell's new in-app digital pet inspired by its iconic menu items. The Crunchkin is designed to engage fans by rewarding them for participating in challenges linked to menu purchases, fostering an interactive experience that encourages fun and creativity.
