Taco Bell brings back double decker tacos after nearly year-long hiatus

It's an age-old debate: hard-shell taco or soft?

Taco Bell doesn't think you should have to choose. The fast-food chain brought back its Double Decker Taco for a limited time starting Tuesday. For just $2.99, guests can revisit the iconic item, which wraps a bean-filled tortilla around a hard taco shell.

Taco Bell enthusiasts last enjoyed the Double Decker in 2022 when it was chosen over the 1970 Enchirito during an in-app voting contest.

"While the Enchirito made a limited time return, Double Decker Taco fans have continued to voice their craving for the beloved menu item," the food chain said in a news release. "It’s a festive comeback that marks the beginning of a season filled with delicious surprises,"

Guests can also order the Double Decker Taco Supreme, which adds diced tomatoes and reduced-fat sour cream, for $3.69.
