Steak & Queso Crunchwrap Sliders
In honor of the 20th anniversary of the Crunchwrap Supreme, Taco Bell has introduced a new mini version with a fresh twist. The Steak & Queso Crunchwrap Sliders feature marinated grilled steak, creamy chipotle sauce, pico de gallo, cheddar cheese, and a mini tostada, all wrapped in a soft, grilled tortilla. These sliders are served with a side of green chile queso for dipping.
Reviewers have praised the sliders for their rich flavor and satisfying textures. The combination of steak and queso delivers a savory punch, while the chipotle sauce adds just the right amount of spice. However, some fans of the original Crunchwrap Supreme wish there was a ground beef option instead of only steak. Despite that, most agree that the sliders are a fun, snackable version of the classic menu item.
Caliente Cantina Chicken Menu
For spice lovers, Taco Bell has turned up the heat with its new Caliente Cantina Chicken lineup. This menu features slow-roasted chicken combined with a fiery Caliente Sauce made from red jalapeños. The menu includes several options:
- Caliente Cantina Chicken Crispy Taco – A white corn shell filled with grilled cheese on the outside and packed with chicken, a three-cheese blend, and Caliente Sauce.
- Caliente Cantina Chicken Soft Taco – A soft taco with chicken, cheddar cheese, lettuce, cabbage, pico de gallo, and Caliente Sauce.
- Caliente Cantina Chicken Burrito – A double portion of slow-roasted chicken wrapped with cheese, lettuce, cabbage, pico de gallo, and Caliente Sauce.
- Caliente Cantina Chicken Quesadilla – A cheesy quesadilla grilled with chicken and the new spicy sauce, served with guacamole and sour cream.
- Caliente Cantina Chicken Bowl – A rice bowl packed with chicken, beans, lettuce, cheese, guacamole, and Caliente Sauce.
Reviewers have noted that the Caliente Sauce brings a noticeable level of heat, making this menu perfect for those who love bold flavors. Many appreciate that the slow-roasted chicken is juicy and well-seasoned, elevating these menu items above standard fast-food fare. Some, however, feel that the spice level may be too much for those with milder tastes.
Cheesy Dipping Burritos
Taco Bell’s Cheesy Dipping Burritos take the classic burrito to the next level. These burritos come in two varieties—one with marinated grilled steak and one with slow-roasted Cantina chicken. Each is stuffed with a three-cheese blend and Avocado Ranch sauce, then grilled for a crispy exterior. They come with dipping sauces like Nacho Cheese, Creamy Chipotle, or Sour Cream.
While the item had a short run, reviewers loved the concept, noting that the crispy, cheesy exterior makes these burritos stand out. The steak version has been particularly well-received, with fans calling it tender and flavorful. Some have compared them to Taco Bell’s classic Grilled Cheese Burritos but enjoy the added dipping element. The portion size is decent, though some customers feel the price is slightly high for what you get.
Baja Blast Dream Freezes
Taco Bell has also introduced a new variation of its iconic Baja Blast drink—the Baja Blast Dream Freeze. This frozen beverage combines the traditional Mountain Dew Baja Blast flavor with a creamy vanilla crème, offering a sweeter and more indulgent take on the classic. It’s also available in a Strawberry Baja Blast version for those who want a fruity twist.
Early reviews suggest that the Baja Blast Dream Freeze is a hit, especially among those who enjoy creamy, dessert-like drinks. Fans appreciate the smooth texture and the way the vanilla balances out the citrusy Baja Blast flavor. Some customers, however, feel the sweetness is a bit overpowering compared to the original Baja Blast.
Taco Bell’s newest menu items continue to push creative boundaries, offering something for both spice lovers and those who crave cheesy, indulgent flavors. Whether you’re looking for a fiery kick or a cheesy comfort meal, Taco Bell’s latest menu has plenty to offer. With mostly positive reviews, these new items are worth a try for fast-food lovers looking for bold flavors and fun twists on classic favorites.
