Taco Bell 2000s Y2K Menu Returns This Fall with 5 Fan-Favorite Classics
Taco Bell is officially bringing back its nostalgic 2000s Y2K menu, featuring five of the most beloved throwback items. Launching nationwide on September 9, 2025, the new Decades Y2K Menu lets fans relive the flavors of the past while introducing younger generations to iconic Taco Bell bites.
What’s on Taco Bell’s Decades Y2K Menu?
The Taco Bell 2000s Y2K menu revives discontinued favorites that defined the brand from the 1990s through the early 2000s. According to Taco Bell, fan demand and online buzz played a major role in selecting these five legendary items:
1. Chili Cheese Burrito (1990)
This hearty burrito debuted in 1990, originally priced at just 89 cents. Today, it returns at $2.99, packed with seasoned beef, beans, and chili-cheese goodness. A cult classic that never truly disappeared from fan conversations.
2. 7-Layer Burrito (1993)
A vegetarian favorite first launched in 1993, the 7-Layer Burrito includes refried beans, rice, sour cream, guacamole, lettuce, tomatoes, and shredded cheese. It left menus in 2020, but it’s now back for a limited time at $2.99.
3. Double Decker Taco (1995)
Why choose one shell when you can have both? The Double Decker Taco, first introduced in 1995, combines a soft tortilla wrapped around a crunchy taco with refried beans in between. A true 2000s icon, priced at $2.49.
4. Cool Ranch Doritos Locos Taco (2012)
The Doritos Locos Tacos changed fast food forever. While Nacho Cheese dominated, fans still rave about the Cool Ranch version. After disappearing in 2019, it’s back again for $2.49.
5. Caramel Apple Empanada (2000s)
The Caramel Apple Empanada was a sweet fan-favorite dessert in the early 2000s. Warm, gooey, and nostalgic, it returns at $2.99, making it the perfect ending to your Taco Bell throwback meal.
Special Value Option: The Discovery Luxe Box
For fans who want the full Y2K experience, Taco Bell offers the $9 Discovery Luxe Box. This combo includes a Crunchwrap, two tacos, chips, and a drink — a celebration of one of Taco Bell’s most iconic eras.
Why Taco Bell Is Bringing Back the Y2K Menu
Taco Bell’s decision to revive these classics is more than just nostalgia. It reflects the cultural love for the early 2000s, where fashion, music, and food trends are making a huge comeback. A Taco Bell spokesperson shared:
“These items represent some of the most-requested and beloved menu items from the nineties and early 2000s. For fans who lived through that era, it’s a taste of nostalgia. For younger generations, it’s a chance to connect with Taco Bell’s past innovations.”
Pricing and Availability
Although the prices don’t match the original 1990s and 2000s cost, Taco Bell has kept this special menu affordable, under $3 per item. The Decades Y2K Menu launches nationwide on September 9, 2025, for a limited time only.
