Taco Bell is taking fans on a trip straight back to the Y2K era â and yes, the hype is real. The beloved 7âLayer Burrito, a vegetarian favorite that vanished from menus in 2020, is making its longâawaited comeback. The throwback lands as part of the Decades Y2K Menu on Tuesday, Sept. 9, and loyal customers are already losing their minds.
If you missed it the first time around, picture this: a warm flour tortilla packed with refried beans, seasoned rice, cool sour cream, creamy guacamole, crisp lettuce, juicy tomatoes, and melty threeâcheese blend â essentially Taco Bellâs handheld twist on the classic sevenâlayer dip. No meat, yet every bite hits with that perfect balance of textures and flavors. It wasnât just a menu item; for many, it was the lateânight order.
First introduced in 1993, the 7âLayer Burrito quickly became a staple for both vegetarians and devoted meatâeaters. Part of its charm was how easily you could make it your own â a blank canvas for Taco Bellâs âmenu remixâ culture. Craving heat? Drizzle on jalapeño sauce or go full Diablo. Want more creaminess? Add extra guac or swap in nacho cheese. Those little tweaks made it a personal creation every time.
Thatâs why the 2020 removal hit so hard. Fans tried to recreate it at home or hack current menu items to get close â but nothing matched unwrapping that foilâwrapped original.
Now, Taco Bell is righting that wrong. Even better, the 7âLayer Burrito remains a budget hero at just $2.49 â cheaper than most fastâfood burgers and far more filling. For anyone cutting back on meat, itâs a win that doesnât feel like a compromise.
The countdown is on. Whether you stick with the classic or build your own remix (creamy chipotle? extra black beans?), the 7âLayer proves that sometimes the simplest ideas really are the best.
Welcome back, OG. Youâve been missed. đŻđ„
