Everyone has a favorite fast-food restaurant, and there is no denying just how many people love Taco Bell, which is why Live Mas Live is such a big deal. It's awesome to see the brand putting all its cards on the table.
Given that Taco Bell also streams it, it's such a fun way to get foodies excited for what's to come and is even something casual TB fans know about. That's why there was no way we at Guilty Eats weren't going to share some of our favorite announcements.
Since we're here to talk about food, there were some non-food items shared, so I wanted to make sure I gave them some love. The first is that Tanner Adell was given Taco Bell's Breakthrough Feed the Beat Artist Award. Adell is a country singer who had a truly amazing 2024 and is poised for even more success in 2025.
Taco Bell also talked about some fun collaborations and some test kitchen items, which has me excited for what Taco Bell is planning in the future. However, we're here to talk about 2025, so let's get into what we're most looking forward to when it comes to food releases.
These 4 Live Mas Live announcements have us excited for 2025.
Before getting into our picks, you can check out the recap of Live Mas Live on Taco Bell's website and watch it as the event was live-streamed. If you love Taco Bell as much as we do, you'll probably find something you want to try or an item you've been wishing would come back. With that being said, let's talk about what we're most excited about.
The first announcement we haven't stopped thinking about is the new Mountain Dew Baja Midnight, which is a new chapter for both Taco Bell and Mountain Dew. The beloved Mountain Dew Baja Blast has been a long-time staple for Taco Bell lovers, and adding a new flavor is exciting. TB gave us a preview of what to expect: "A sweet and refreshing blast of passionfruit flavor combined with the familiar tropical lime flavor of Baja Blast to perfectly complement any Taco Bell meal." That sounds like a unique flavor and something definitely worth trying.
The next announcement we're still thinking about is the upcoming Grilled Cheese Burrito with Shredded Beef. Shredded beef is something fans have long hoped for, and Taco Bell is finally granting our wish. The grilled cheese burrito is already good, but adding shredded beef as an option seems like a game-changer. If anything, this might be the push Taco Bell needs to give us both shredded beef and shredded chicken.
The most confounding yet exciting announcement is the Quesocrisp Taco. Taco Bell describes it as "An all-new taco with a shell made out of crispy cheese." I don't know about you, but that sounds like a mess waiting to happen. Given that, it feels like something I'm dying to try to see if it's as unstable as it seems. Either way, it's one I know people are going to have varying opinions on.
Last but not least, the final thing we're still thinking about is the next release of the Decades Menu, which is focused on the 2000s and 2010s. The two higlights are the Cool Ranch Doritos Locos Taco, which was my personal favorite, and the Double Decker Taco. These were two absolute bangers from Taco Bell, so it's great to see them coming back. If anything, it might be the push Taco Bell needs to bring them back permanently.
Either way, Live Mas Live gave us so much to look forward to and has me excited for what's to come with Taco Bell. Hopefully, everything will be as tasty as the photos made them look and at the same time, not break the bank. No promise on the latter, but Taco Bell has plenty for us to look forward to.
