Taco Bell Reveals Wild 2026 Menu With 20 New Items—Including a Crème Brûlée Crunchwrap
Let’s be honest: There are so many things in life we can’t control. That’s why it can be comforting to turn to the constants. Take Taco Bell, for instance. The fast-food restaurant always hits when you’re in the mood for a quick, tasty bite or craving a late-night meal after being out with friends.
Fans love the chain for its classic Crunchwrap Supreme, Cheesy Gordita Crunch, and Mexican Pizza—which, of course, should always be paired with a refreshing Mountain Dew Baja Blast. But dedicated customers also look forward to Taco Bell’s new menu drops—because the brand is always offering unique new creations. And we have some scoop Taco Bell recently shared.
Live Más LIVE: A Night at The Palladium is officially streaming on NBCUniversal’s Peacock, hosted by musical artist Vince Staples. The event brings the brand’s innovation showcase to Taco Bell fans across the nation, revealing more than 20 delicious items that are set to make waves on Taco Bell’s 2026 menu.
“This show is built specifically for the fans, and that’s what I appreciate the most about Taco Bell” Vince Staples shared. “We harnessed that fan energy on stage and turned it into a must-watch moment. I’m excited for everyone to catch it on Peacock.”
The main attraction? Introducing 20 highly anticipated menu items—some of which were inspired by fan petitions while others were created right in the Taco Bell Test Kitchen, diving into mouthwatering new flavors and revamped favorites.
