Taco Bell fans, get ready to celebrate. A leaked flyer has revealed that the chain is bringing back some of its most-loved classics—and adding brand-new treats—starting September 9.
A Taco Bell employee spills the beans
The news came from a Taco Bell employee posting on Reddit under the username @Rebelporpoise72. The worker shared a snapshot of a flyer showing “The Unexpected Y2K Menu,” which lists eight new and returning items.
The flyer quickly went viral among food lovers, who are thrilled to see some long-lost favorites make their comeback.
What’s on the Y2K menu?
The menu highlights several big-name items:
- 7-Layer Burrito – A vegetarian classic packed with beans, rice, guacamole, sour cream, cheese, tomatoes, and lettuce.
- Double Decker Taco – A crunchy taco wrapped inside a soft tortilla with refried beans holding it all together.
- Cool Ranch Doritos Locos Taco – Called one of Taco Bell’s “biggest innovations ever,” this taco swaps the regular shell for a zesty Cool Ranch Doritos shell.
- Chili Cheese Burrito – Known as a “cult favorite,” this burrito has been available only in select regions for years — until now.
- Grande Nachos – The chain’s largest nacho platter, loaded with toppings and perfect for sharing.
- Discovery Luxe Box – A value box filled with a mix of fan-favorite items.
- Caramel Apple Empanada – A crispy golden dessert filled with warm apples and creamy caramel.
- Orange Vanilla Cream Soda Freeze – A refreshing new drink flavor that’s expected to be a major hit.
Fans are beyond excited
Reactions online show just how eager people are for this menu launch.
One Reddit user shouted: “I’m gonna eat so many of these!”
Another posted: “The nacho box is back after years of it being gone.”
A third raved: “My god, they’re FINALLY bringing back the Cool Ranch Dorito Taco. It’s superior to the Nacho Cheese one and I will die on this hill!”
Some fans are even planning to order one of everything. In short, Taco Bell lovers are ready to feast.
Why Taco Bell is bringing back the classics
Taco Bell often tests new ideas and brings back past items when fans demand them loudly enough. The Chili Cheese Burrito, for example, has been requested for years on social media. The company calls it an “item of cult status,” saying that the buzz from longtime customers helped convince them to return it to menus nationwide.
The 7-Layer Burrito and Double Decker Taco were also longtime favorites before being removed in past menu cuts. This new Y2K lineup seems designed to celebrate nostalgia while adding a fresh twist with items like the Orange Vanilla Cream Soda Freeze.
The Luxe Box vs. other fast food deals
Taco Bell’s new Discovery Luxe Box joins a crowded market of value meals:
- McDonald’s $5 Meal Deal includes a sandwich, nuggets, fries, and a drink.
- Wendy’s $5 Biggie Bag offers a burger or chicken sandwich with nuggets, fries, and a drink.
- Burger King’s $5 Your Way Meal gives customers a Whopper Junior or other sandwich with fries, nuggets, and a drink.
The Luxe Box will likely feature Taco Bell’s signature items like burritos, tacos, chips with cheese, and a drink — giving loyal fans plenty of food at a solid price.
September 9 can’t come soon enough
Whether you’re craving the gooey Caramel Apple Empanada, the zesty Cool Ranch Doritos Locos Taco, or the giant Grande Nachos, Taco Bell’s Y2K Menu is shaping up to be one of the chain’s most exciting launches in years.
Mark your calendar for September 9—because if fan reactions are any clue, these items won’t stay in stock for long.
