Taco Bell’s brand-new Decades menu isn’t really new at all. The fast-food chain is bringing back fan-favorite menu items from every decade since the restaurant first opened in 1962, giving fans the chance to relive their most beloved Taco Bell memories. The Decades menu will be available for a limited time nationwide, and Taco Bell guests will be able to enjoy some of the most frequently requested nostalgic menu items.
