NEW TACO BELL MENU ITEMS TO TRY

Taco Bell continues to be a favorite fast-food chain amongst the college crowd. Not only is their menu affordable, but they also stay open longer than most fast-food locations. Their late-night hours allow college students and customers in general to stop by after a night out with friends, or for a bite when it’s 2 A.M., and you haven’t had time to stock up at the grocery store. Taco Bell just recently held its annual Live Más Live event at the Hollywood Palladium on March 10th, with celebrity guests Vince Staples, who hosted the event, Benson Boone, Doja Cat, Finneas, Davante Adams, Demi Lovato and more. They revealed 20-plus new menu items, even announcing their decision to bring back their famous nacho fries for good! Here’s the list of their new releases!
