What Comes in a Nacho Fries Box

We probably all had a bit of a tiff with Taco Bell earlier this year when the new menu eliminated some classics. Sadly, that included my beloved Cheesy Fiesta Potatoes. (I'll never forget you, potatoes.) Some Taco Bell fans even went as far as to petition to rescue their favorites, such as the mighty Mexican Pizza. But to no avail.

Taco Bell must have been feeling for us a little bit, though, because they're wrapping up the best Christmas present ever. Get ready for the return of Nacho Fries!

Why Do People Love Nacho Fries?

If you've never had a chance to try the fries before, I can't recommend them enough. We gave 'em a whirl the first time they hit the menu, and they were easily our favorite new item in quite a while. It's no surprise they ended up being Taco Bell's biggest launch in recent years!

The crispy crunch of the fries mixed with the gooey, undeniably delicious nacho cheese is a gift all in itself.

Last year, Taco Bell tested three new flavors of Nacho Fries. And yes, I know, 2019 truly does feel like a whole different era. While people loved 'em all, nothing stayed on the menu for too long.

Anyway, what I'm trying to say is…Taco Bell Nacho Fries are BACK! Did I say that already? This holiday season, Taco Bell is officially presenting us with the gift that keeps on giving in the cheesiest way possible.

How Long Will Nacho Fries Be at Taco Bell?

Nacho Fries are officially back on December 24, so get your dinner plans in place. Of course, these are only here for a limited time, so no dawdling! Santa would be very upset with you otherwise. We expect the Nacho Fries to be on the menu through the beginning of January, at least.

You can grab a side of Nacho Fries a la carte for $1.39 or with the $5 box that also includes a crunchy beef taco, the Beefy 5-Layer burrito and a medium fountain drink. Isn't Christmas just the best?
