August 18, 2021

Taco Bell is testing a version of its Nacho Fries in conjunction with Southern California company Truff, a hot sauce brand.

The Loaded Truff Nacho Fries and the Loaded Truff Fries Burrito test are being conducted at a Taco Bell location in Newport Beach, California, while supplies last, according to a press release.

"We've always looked for ways to serve up new innovations to our fans, and this partnership with Truff takes our beloved Nacho Fries to a new level," Rene Pisciotti, executive chef at Taco Bell Corp., said in the company press release. "Truff is rapidly growing and becoming the go-to luxury hot sauce like, so it makes total sense for us to join forces and bring the world new spicy creations."

Loaded Truff Nacho Fries feature seasoned fries topped with steak, Truff Nacho Cheese Sauce, shredded cheddar cheese, tomato and sour cream. The Loaded Truff Fries Burrito includes all of the ingredients of the Loaded Truff Nacho Fries wrapped in a warm tortilla.

"We are constantly inspired by Taco Bell's ability to evolve with pop culture and create conversation-generating experiences, which is why the brand immediately stood out as the perfect partner for our first-ever QSR offering," Nick Guillen, co-founder and co-CEO at Truff, said in the release. "Together, we've created an unexpected mashup of Truff and Taco Bell sauces that is distinctively delicious. We are excited to share this game-changing sauce and elevate the conventions of fast-food."
