Taco Bell Reintroduces Ice Cream Taco with Salt & Straw Partnership
Fast food chain Taco Bell has launched a new, limited-time ice cream taco in collaboration with Salt & Straw. The "Salt & Straw Churro Ice Cream Taco" is available nationwide for $3.99.
Taco Bell is reintroducing a popular frozen dessert in collaboration with ice cream maker Salt & Straw. The "Salt & Straw Churro Ice Cream Taco" is available at Taco Bell locations across the United States for $3.99.
The original ice cream taco, launched last year, quickly became a viral hit and sold out during its initial release weekend. Tyler Malek, co-founder of Salt & Straw, stated that customer response was "completely overwhelming" and that they aimed to make the concept more accessible.
The new iteration features a waffle cone shell filled with churro-flavored ice cream, topped with puffed rice and dark chocolate. Taco Bell's Chief Food Innovation Officer, Liz Matthews, noted that the item builds on the success of the previous collaboration and offers a flavor fitting for their menu.
In addition to the ice cream taco, the companies have also released a drinkable treat, the "Salt & Straw Choco-Waffle Chiller." This milkshake, made with vanilla ice cream, churro crumbles, and waffle cone pieces, is available exclusively at select "Live Más Café" locations for $4.69. Both items are available for a limited time while supplies last.
