Taco Bell fan favorite gets ‘a spicy remix’ — but it won’t stick around. What to know
Taco Bell is putting “a spicy remix” on a menu favorite.
The limited-time Caliente Cantina Chicken menu arrives Thursday, Feb. 27, at participating Taco Bell restaurants nationwide, according to the fast food chain.
The lineup is a spicier take on the original Cantina Chicken menu, introduced in March 2024.
Its fiery alter ego features a Caliente Sauce made with red jalapenos. The topping was first tested last year in Cincinnati, Ohio, for a limited time, according to the restaurant.
Now, customers can add extra heat to their favorite tacos, burritos, quesadillas and bowls, Taco Bell said. The Caliente Cantina Chicken menu includes:
- Caliente cantina chicken crispy taco ($2.99)
Caliente cantina chicken soft taco ($2.99)
Caliente cantina chicken burrito ($5.99)
Caliente cantina chicken quesadilla ($6.49)
Caliente cantina chicken bowl ($7.99)
“We experimented with different peppers, spice blends, and heat levels to craft the spicier alter ego to Cantina Chicken, one that brings just the right amount of fiery kick,” Liz Matthews, global chief food innovation officer for Taco Bell, said in the release.
“With the Caliente Cantina Chicken Menu, we’ve struck that balance,” she said.
