Taco Bell fans are now experiencing a “Christmas miracle.” The fast-food giant announced that the beloved Quesarito, a legendary item cherished by die-hard fans, officially made its limited-time return across the United States on December 18th, sparking a celebration frenzy on the internet.
The highly acclaimed Quesarito is hailed as the perfect combination of a burrito and a Mexican quesadilla. This classic delicacy is filled with beef, rice, Chipotle sauce, and sour cream wrapped in a quesadilla filled with cheese.
To satisfy fans’ strong demand over the years, Taco Bell has brought back the classic recipe, allowing fans to relive the taste from their memories. This popular brand is owned by Yum Brands, headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky, which also owns well-known fast-food chains like KFC and Pizza Hut.
In addition to its return in all US stores, Taco Bell has prepared Christmas benefits and special offers for its members:
Suggested retail price of $4.99:
Amidst an era where fast food items often exceed $6 to $8, Taco Bell has priced this “burrito within a burrito” behemoth at $4.99, seen by many financial commentators as a gentle consolation for consumers. Considering its double serving of a burrito and quesadilla, the value for the price is exceptional.
$1 special offer:
On December 23rd at 2 p.m. PT, Taco Bell’s app will release limited 30,000 slots for a $1 purchase.
The return of this burrito has also stirred up a sports legend. During the 2014 NBA Draft, when the future MVP Nikola Jokić was selected by the Denver Nuggets, the TV screen happened to be covered by a Quesarito advertisement, causing Jokić’s name to flash only in the ticker at the bottom of the screen.
Taco Bell’s Chief Marketing Officer Luis Restrepo jokingly expressed hope that this return would give the clownish Jokić, who still holds a grudge and refuses to eat at Taco Bell, a chance to try it. However, Jokić recently coolly responded, “No. It’s nice that they finally apologized, but I still won’t eat it.”
The social media reaction can be described as “overjoyed.” The comment section is filled with excited remarks.
A fan claimed, “My life has felt incomplete since it was discontinued, but today it’s finally whole again!”
Many online users even joked, “This is better than any Christmas gift I’ve received.” “Quesarito has saved my 2025.”
While most fans are shouting “a miracle has arrived,” many also use this opportunity to urge Taco Bell to bring back other classic products that have been discontinued. As for whether Quesarito will become a permanent item, Taco Bell cryptically stated, “Stay tuned.”
