8 Big Changes You’ll See at Taco Bell This Year
“This delectable nacho extravaganza is a true celebration of bold flavors and textures, making it a must-try for those lucky enough to get their hands on it,” Taco Bell said in a description of the item provided toEat This, Not That!
Unfortunately for Taco Bell fans outside of the Golden State, the Cantina Chicken Loaded Nachos are only available at select locations in Bakersfield, Calif. right now.
However, Taco Bell often tests experimental new menu items in limited markets to gauge how they’ll perform with customers before potentially rolling them out on a wider basis.
So, fans can hope that the test run is successful enough for Taco Bell to launch the new nachos nationally in the future.
For those whoarelucky enough to live near the Bakersfield stores, the Cantina Chicken Loaded Nachos are selling for a suggested price of $6.49, though prices may vary by location.
The Cantina Chicken Loaded Nacho test comes just a few weeks before Taco Bell’s planned launch of a whole newCantina Chicken Menuat restaurants nationwide on March 21.
First announced at itsLive Mas Liveevent in Las Vegas earlier this month, the menu is comprised of five new options: a Cantina Chicken Burrito, Cantina Chicken Soft Taco, Cantina Chicken Crispy Taco, Cantina Chicken Quesadilla, and Cantina Chicken Bowl.
