While this nacho fry comeback is for a limited time (once again), there were talks of the menu item becoming a permanent in December 2022.
PEOPLE reported that during an investor event, Taco Bell CEO Mark King expressed the chain was considering the addition.
“People that go to lunch want to have French fries. We know that,” King said during the event. “We’re looking at and testing bringing fries permanently on to the menu, which would increase our lunch business dramatically.”

Taco Bell has made an effort to become more vegetarian- and vegan-friendly over the last few years.Veggie Modewas activated at Taco Bell self-serving kiosks in 2020, and the company announced that aVegan Crunchwrap was being testedin June 2023.
So will the vegan nacho cheese be available to dress veggie Crunchwraps, those spicy soft potatoes, or even for traditional nachos? Taco Bell says it was used during the test ofVegan Crunchwrapsin June 2023, and for now, it’s available limited time. But, a Taco Bell spokesperson says, “We never say never when it comes to any limited time offer making its permanence on menus."
