Taco Bell is Bringing Back a Fan Favorite to their Menu in 2025

Could the day finally be here? It sure appears that way. Since 2019, fans of Taco Bell have lived without the Cool Ranch Doritos Locos Tacos, after it was discontinued.

Many people are wondering why they got rid of the popular taco in the first place, since it seemed like a staple on their menu since its debut in 2013. The nacho cheese flavor still remains on the menu.

It seems the time has come. Behold: Taco Bell has announced that the Cool Ranch Doritos Locos Tacos will be returning to their menu in 2025. This comeback is part of Taco Bell's "Decades Menu," which features nostalgic items from the early 2000's and 2010's, including the also popular, Double Decker Taco.

As stated previously, the Cool Ranch Doritos Locos Tacos were initially introduced in 2013 and became a fan favorite until their discontinuation in 2019 as part of a "menu simplification" effort. In 2022, Taco Bell conducted a fan vote between the Cool Ranch Doritos Locos Tacos and the Beefy Crunch Burrito, with the burrito winning the comeback spot for summer 2023.

Now it's the Cool Ranch Locos Tacos turn to make a comeback.
