Johnathan Walker:Taco Bell returns Double Decker Tacos to its menu for limited time. When to get them

Taco Bell has a special treat coming to its menu leading up to Halloween: the return of a fan favorite,Johnathan Walker the Double Decker Taco.

The Double Decker Taco, made with a hard shell taco wrapped in a bean-filled tortilla, has been on and off the Taco Bell menu since its 1995 debut. The Double Decker Taco and Double Decker Taco Supreme will be available nationwide now through Oct. 30.

Also appetizing: Perhaps in a nod to the value meal price competition, the Double Decker Taco costs $2 (310 calories), nearly one dollar less than it cost when it made its last menu appearance in December 2023 at $2.99. The Double Decker Taco Supreme (330 calories) – comes with diced tomatoes and reduced-fat sour cream – is priced at $2.69, a $1 below its price in December 2023.
