Meximelt back on menu, joins other discontinued items like Gordita Supreme

Attention ’80s Taco Bell fans: the Meximelt has resurrected from the dead. And it’s not the only popular discontinued item back on the menu.

On Halloween, five items that disappeared from the menu over the past six decades have returned to Taco Bell drive-thru and order-in screens nationwide. Earlier this month, we introduced the limited-time Decades Menu, bringing back five popular items, including the Meximelt − which features seasoned beef, pico de gallo, and a mix of mozzarella, cheddar, and Monterey Jack cheese in a tortilla. All five, each from its signature decade, returned priced at $3 and under each.
