Taco Bell Brings Back Decade-Old Menu Items, All Under $3 Each

The chain’s Decades Menu is set to bring back fond memories from five decades.

Taco Bell is tapping into nostalgia from the ’60s, ’70s, ’80s, ’90s, and ’00s with its new menu, dubbed the Decades Menu. The lineup features five of the most sought-after nostalgic items from its first five decades.

Starting October 31, fans of the fast-food giant will be able to purchase these nostalgic fan favorites, available for a limited time only, with each item priced under $3.

“Everyone remembers the moment they fell in love with Taco Bell and that one special menu item that brings you right back,” said Taylor Montgomery, Chief Marketing Officer.
