Taco Bell has heard the outcry and now they're bringing potato items back to the menu beginning March 11, 2021. Both the Spicy Fiesta Soft Taco & Cheesy Fiesta Potatoes will return.
The chain faced backlash in 2020 when they streamlined their menu and got rid of potato items, which upset many vegetarians. A protest was even held outside of a San Diego location over the menu change.
