The ’60s Tostada: A Crunchy Blast from the Past (Probably)

Remember the ’60s? Neither do I. But apparently, Taco Bell did something back then involving a tostada. This crispy, circular vessel of vaguely Mexican-inspired ingredients is back to remind us of a simpler time, when avocado toast was just…toast with avocado. Expect a flat, crunchy disc adorned with seasoned beef, cheese, lettuce, and tomatoes. It’s like a prehistoric pizza, but with a Mexican accent.

The ’70s Green Sauce Burrito: Groovy, Baby, Yeah! (Maybe?)

Ah, the ’70s. Bell bottoms, disco, and…green sauce? This enigmatic burrito, swathed in a mysterious verdant concoction, is returning to tantalize our taste buds and possibly challenge our digestive systems. What exactly is in that green sauce? Avocado? Alien goo? Pureed shag carpeting? The world may never know. But one thing’s for sure: it’s gonna be a far-out experience.

The ’80s Meximelt: Melty, Cheesy, and Totally Rad (Dude!)

The decade of excess brought us big hair, neon colors, and the Meximelt. This molten marvel of seasoned beef, pico de gallo, and three-cheese blend, all wrapped in a warm flour tortilla, is like a culinary hug from a bygone era. It’s the epitome of ’80s comfort food, perfect for fueling a night of roller skating, breakdancing, or just watching MTV for hours on end.

The ’90s Gordita Supreme: Supremely ’90s (As If!)

The ’90s were all about being extreme, and the Gordita Supreme definitely lived up to the hype. This pillowy pocket of deliciousness, stuffed with seasoned beef, lettuce, tomatoes, three-cheese blend, and a dollop of sour cream, is a true testament to the decade’s culinary ingenuity. It’s like a taco had a baby with a pita, and that baby was raised on a steady diet of grunge music and dial-up internet.

The ’00s Caramel Apple Empanada: Y2K-Compliant Deliciousness (OMG!)

Finally, the ’00s arrive with a sweet and savory explosion of caramel apple goodness. This warm, crispy empanada, filled with a gooey caramel apple mixture, is the perfect way to end your time-traveling taco tour. It’s a nostalgic reminder of a time when low-rise jeans and frosted tips were all the rage, and the biggest threat to humanity was a computer glitch.
