Taco Bell Revives the Cheesy Street Chalupas

Taco Bell is set to bring back a much-loved fan favorite, the Cheesy Street Chalupas, from August 14, 2025, available in participating locations across the country for a limited time only, until supplies last. These flavorful additions to the menu are inspired by the traditional street tacos that have long been a cornerstone of culinary innovation and community spirit.

A Culinary Evolution

Inspired by the creativity often seen in street food, the Cheesy Street Chalupas are a reimagined take on Taco Bell’s original Chalupa. Each order features two taco-sized chalupas filled with fresh ingredients, designed to offer a culinary experience reminiscent of traditional street tacos. The chalupas are generously stuffed with premium proteins like the famous slow-cooked chicken or marinated grilled steak, complemented by the freshness of diced cilantro and onions. Amping up the flavor profile is a creamy Jalapeño Ranch sauce, while a cheese-filled warm tortilla envelops these delightful fillings, reminiscent of Taco Bell's iconic Quesalupa.

With a starting price of just $5.49, these Cheesy Street Chalupas beckon Taco Bell fans from all walks of life, combining affordability with bold flavors in a unique format that’s sure to satisfy cravings.

A Fan-Favorite Returns

These chalupas, originally launched in 2024, quickly became one of the top-selling items on Taco Bell's menu, with fans exclaiming that they’re “the best Taco Bell has done since the original Chalupa debuted in 1999.” Their status as a fan favorite not only showcases their innovative design but also highlights the growing demand for creative street food-inspired offerings in the fast-food landscape.

Luis Restrepo, Taco Bell’s Vice President of Product Innovation, shared, “We’re excited to reintroduce this beloved menu item, especially given its significant popularity since its initial launch. Our culinary inspirations are expansive, but with the Cheesy Street Chalupas, we draw from the vibrant culture of street food to provide our customers with a taco experience unlike any other.”

Supporting Local Entrepreneurs

In addition to revamping its menu, Taco Bell remains committed to supporting local street food vendors through its partnership with Revolution Carts. This innovative initiative has helped provide 46 licensed food carts to entrepreneurs in Southern California, empowering them to expand their businesses legally and efficiently.

Erika Herrera of Tamaleria Mi Ranchito, a beneficiary of the Revolution Cart program, expressed her gratitude, stating, “Our Revolution Cart has helped us elevate our business in a creative and inspiring way. It not only makes our daily operations more professional but has also opened doors for us to participate in more events and access better locations.”
