Taco Bell resurrects the Choco Taco with the Salt & Straw Churro Ice Cream Taco

The Choco Taco is back at Taco Bell. Kind of. The Salt & Straw Churro Ice Cream Taco, an elevated version of the classic dessert, went live at Taco Bell on Tuesday.

“Last year’s collaboration showed us how much joy there is in reimagining a nostalgic favorite, and we’re thrilled to work with Salt & Straw to bring a new ice cream taco to Taco Bell restaurants,” Liz Matthews, global chief food innovation officer at Taco Bell, said in the company’s announcement. “The Churro Ice Cream Taco builds on everything fans loved about the original collaboration, with a flavor that feels right at home on our menu.” 

If you’re reading this on Wednesday morning, and you know in your heart that you need to eat a Salt & Straw Churro Ice Cream Taco, stop what you’re doing and go to Taco Bell right now. Seriously. Finish reading this newsletter later. When Taco Bell and Salt & Straw partnered on The Tacolate last year, it reportedly sold out in 10 minutes.

I’ll wait for you to come back from Taco Bell ...

What it costs

I paid $3.99 for my Salt & Straw Churro Ice Cream Taco. If you missed out on this item this weekend, Taco Bell is releasing “a limited-edition Salt & Straw x Taco Bell decorated cooler filled with three of the sweet treats” on Sept. 8 via its app.
