NEW YORK CITY — Taco Bell is making big moves in 2025, unveiling 14 new menu items during its annual Live Más live event held Tuesday at the Brooklyn Paramount in New York. The fast-food giant used the event to share its bold culinary direction for the year, sparking excitement among fans nationwide.
During the livestreamed announcement, Taco Bell introduced several new offerings, including the Quesocrisp Taco, Flamin’ Hot Burrito, and a brand-new Mountain Dew flavor called Baja Midnight. The drink is described as a mix of passionfruit and the familiar tropical lime flavor of Baja Blast.
Alongside the new creations, Taco Bell also confirmed the return of two fan-favorite items: the Cool Ranch Doritos Locos Tacos and the Double Decker Taco. These classics are part of a broader push to blend innovation with nostalgia.
For those looking to explore what Taco Bell has in store this year, here’s a breakdown of the key additions expected in 2025:
