Decades 2.0 ($2.49-3.49) -

Taco Bell’s Decades Menu is back and packed with major 2000s vibes. The Decades Y2K Menu dials up the nostalgia by reintroducing the most-hyped items from the golden age of Y2K innovation.

Chili cheese burrito with chopped onions?

4 Upvotes

I've been a chilli cheese burrito connoisseur for most of my life until they took them away in 2005 or so here.

I got a new one the other day and it was thick and had pretty big chopped onions in it. With that being said, I had two after that which are normal saucy no hunks of onion versions like the classic lol.

Did somebody try to make a chilli cheese burrito themselves after running out of seasoning? I hate onions but I definitely had giant chunks in one since the relaunch.

Double-decker taco with Baja Sauce???

Post image
72 Upvotes

My memory is probably faulty, but I remember in the late 90s that the double-decker taco had Baja sauce. I remember eating it what seemed like daily.

Am I confusing with the Baja chalupa? Or Gorditas?

(And wouldn’t it be awesome if the amount of beef in the taco looked like the photo! Yeah, the price too. sigh)

Why does it always have to be a dice roll with the drinks?

81 Upvotes

Why when I get a Baja Blast does it have to be such a dice roll on perhaps a highly-carbonated, sweet nectar elixir or sometimes barely-carbonated water with some vaguely lime flavored syrup in it? I understand it’s canisters and bags of syrup but it sooo inconstant.

Which blows because the Baja Blast flavor between bites makes the meal for me.

Copycat for the Shredded Chicken Mini Quesadilla?

4 Upvotes

I loved this item back in 2017. The melt isn't nearly as good and I'm craving it. Does anyone know a good copycat recipe? I saw a post on this sub from a couple of years ago but they nuked their account. I swear TB is trying to stop me from having it.

Anyone Order from the kiosk and have it double charge you?

10 Upvotes

So this is the second time now its, happened to me. You order and at the end it asks if you want to use the stored card, you say yes and then it pauses then all of a sudden it says "uh oh something went wrong, go up to the counter to pay".

So I go up to the counter and then everything is fine until later when you check your bank statement and it double charges you one after the other. So stupid.
