The holiday season is in full swing, and Taco Bell is bringing back one of its most requested items—The Quesarito. This fan-favorite, a hybrid of a quesadilla and a burrito, is making its return on December 18, 2025, just in time for all the holiday festivities.
The Quesarito hit the menu in 2014, quickly becoming an instant favorite with its unique blend of seasoned beef, rice, chipotle sauce, and reduced-fat sour cream, all wrapped in a quesadilla. The Quesarito gained even more popularity when it overshadowed Denver Nuggets star Nikola Jokic's 2014 draft-day. Fans have been clamoring for its return ever since, and Taco Bell is finally answering the call.
This beloved item is back for a limited time, but this isn’t the first comeback for the Quesarito. It briefly returned as an online and in-app exclusive in 2020 before being fully discontinued in 2023. Despite its limited availability, the Quesarito maintained a dedicated fanbase, who kept the iconic mashup alive through online discussions and social media.
But what exactly is the Quesarito? It’s a creative fusion of a quesadilla and a burrito, featuring a combination of seasoned beef, seasoned rice, chipotle sauce, reduced-fat sour cream, melted cheeses, and nacho cheese sauce. This delightful mix is then wrapped in a quesadilla-style tortilla, making it a cheesy, saucy, and flavorful experience.
In addition to the Quesarito, Taco Bell is bringing back two more fan favorites: the Cheesy Dipping Burritos and the Steak Garlic Nacho Fries. These items, alongside the Quesarito, will be available starting December 18, 2025, for a limited time, making this a holiday treat for Taco Bell enthusiasts.
Taco Bell has a tradition of reviving beloved menu items based on fan demand, and the Quesarito is a prime example. This limited-time return is not only a testament to the enduring popularity of the item but also a strategic move by Taco Bell to satisfy its loyal customer base during the holiday season. If you’re a fan of the Quesarito, now is the time to indulge, as its availability is sure to be short-lived.
For those eager to try the Quesarito, it will be available at participating Taco Bell locations. The chain is also offering a special deal: for just $1, you can get a Quesarito, making it an affordable treat during the festive season. This limited-time offer is a great way to enjoy the Quesarito and savor the flavors that made it a fan favorite.
As we look forward to indulging in this holiday treat, it’s clear that the Quesarito's return is more than just a menu addition—it’s a celebration of fan loyalty and the enduring appeal of Taco Bell’s culinary creations. The Quesarito’s return is a reminder of how much fans can influence the menu and how beloved items can leave a lasting impact, even years after their initial release.
