    Taco Bell is treating old customers to a (Baja) blast from the past.

    The chain introduced its temporary Decades Menu with well-known items from the past 60 years. A total of five beloved items from the signature decade are returning, priced at $3 or less.

    “The Decades Menu helps unite generations of fans who fondly remember these menu items, with a new era of fans who have yet to experience the deliciousness of a savory Tostada, taste the legendary Green Sauce Burrito or take their first bite of a Meximelt have to take,” the company said in a press release.

    The nostalgic items include the Caramel Apple Empanada, first introduced in the early 2000s and discontinued in 2019. The crunchy dessert, filled with apple chunks and caramel-creamy filling, returns on November 21.

    However, the other four items will be available nationwide starting October 31, including one of the chain’s original offerings, the Tostada.
