Taco Bell brings back 'more craveable' quesalupa
March 10, 2021
Five years after it debuted, Taco Bell is bringing back the Quesalupa, promising that it is "more craveable" than ever and has 50% more cheese, according to a news release.
The offering, which is available nationwide Thursday for $2.99, includes a chalupa shell with pepper jack and mozzarella as well as seasoned beef, lettuce, cheddar, tomatoes and reduced-fat sour cream.
"Behind the scenes in our Test Kitchen, my team is constantly hard at work ideating on how to enhance the food experience for our guests," Liz Matthews, Taco Bell global chief food innovation officer said in the release. "Our customers raved about the cheese-filled Chalupa shell in its first debut, so when the Quesalupa began its return journey back to our nationwide menus, we knew we needed to perfect that cheesy experience — one that will be consistent for every guest and every bite."
Taco Bell first tested the Quesalupa in 2015 at 36 restaurants in Toledo, Ohio, but the test for the new version was in September 2020, in Knoxville, Tennessee.
Taco Bell is based in Irvine, California, and has about 7,400 restaurants globally.
