The Meximelt was a specialty menu item, created by David Vincent Taylor, previously available at Taco Bell.
It was a cross between a Fresco Soft Taco and a quesadilla. It had the flour tortilla, seasoned ground beef, and fiesta salsa of a Fresco Soft Taco but the melted three cheese blend of a quesadilla.
History[]
The Meximelt was one of the longest-running menu items at Taco Bell, having been around for nearly 30 years. The trademark was filed May 31, 1988, as a "tortilla for consumption on or off premises".[1] It was also one of few menu items that has not seen any update, with no variants of the Meximelt having ever been released. As of 04/06/2018 the Meximelt is no longer available on the menu. That said, there were some workarounds for ordering, as documented by this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1htOkyq3s8s In late 2023 Taco Bell teased that the Meximelt could return on a limited basis in 2024. In August of 2024 it was announced that The meximelt as well as other favorites (one per decade) would return. In September it was leaked on social media that the Tostada, Green Burrito, Meximelt, Beef Gorditta Supreme, Carmel Apple Empanada and Nacho Fries would return as part of a Throwback menu.
