September 3, 2026 (VAUGHAN, ONTARIO) — Taco Bell Canada is reaching into its menu archives to bring back three iconic favourites. The lineup proves that the next big fast-food innovation may already exist in the past.
Starting September 3, The Meximelt and The Caramel Apple Empanada will return after years of fan requests. Meanwhile, The Quesarito will make its official Canadian debut.
All three Taco Bell menu items will be available for a limited time. They will be offered at participating locations across Canada, while supplies last.
The lineup spans decades of Taco Bell history. It brings together two fan-favourite comebacks and one long-awaited Canadian debut.
First, The Meximelt takes fans back to the ’80s. Meanwhile, The Caramel Apple Empanada brings back a beloved 2000s-era dessert. Finally, The Quesarito gives Canadian fans a chance to try one of Taco Bell’s most requested menu items.
“What’s nostalgic for one Taco Bell fan can be a completely new discovery for another,” said Meera Patel, Director of Marketing, Taco Bell Canada. “And that’s what makes our history such an exciting source of innovation. Sometimes the best place to find what’s next is in the test kitchen vault, and this lineup gives Canadians the chance to experience some of the menu items that helped make Taco Bell so iconic.”
The Quesarito Makes Its Canadian Debut
After building a following among Taco Bell fans in markets such as the United States and Spain, The Quesarito is finally coming to Canada.
The menu item combines two Taco Bell favourites. It features a burrito wrapped inside a grilled cheese quesadilla.

The Meximelt Returns to Taco Bell Canada
