The Meximelt and Caramel Apple Empanada are returning to participating Bell locations after years of customer requests, while the Quesarito will make its Canadian debut. The three items will be available while supplies last.
The menu additions draw on different periods in the brand’s history, with the Meximelt associated with the 1980s, the Caramel Apple Empanada with the 2000s and the Quesarito previously available in markets including the United States and Spain.
“What’s nostalgic for one Taco Bell fan can be a completely new discovery for another,” said Meera Patel, director of marketing, Taco Bell Canada. “And that’s what makes our history such an exciting source of innovation. Sometimes the best place to find what’s next is in the test kitchen vault, and this lineup gives Canadians the chance to experience some of the menu items that helped make Taco Bell so iconic.”
The Quesarito combines a burrito with a grilled cheese quesadilla. The company says the item has been among those requested by customers seeking its availability in Canada.
The Meximelt, described by the company as a longtime customer favourite, is also returning to Canadian restaurants following requests from customers.
The Caramel Apple Empanada, a dessert featuring caramel-apple filling in a crispy shell, is returning more than a decade after it was first introduced by the brand.
The brand has been operating in the country since opening its first Canadian location in 1979. The company says it offers tacos, burritos, quesadillas and nachos, along with limited-time menu items.
