“Been craving one for almost a decade”: Fans get excited days before Taco Bell’s Enchirito limited-time return
After a decade-long wait, Taco Bell is finally bringing back the OG Enchirito. Discontinued in 2013, it has been one of the most sold items on the chain's menu. The burrito-enchilada fusion dish features a flour tortilla packed with a juicy filling of diced onions, beef and beans. The tortilla is coated in red sauce and has a layer of melted cheddar cheese toppings.
First sold in the '70s, the Enchirito will be returning to the chain starting November 17 and will be available till November 20.
News of Taco Bell bringing back the Enchirito has fans excited, and some can barely contain their enthusiasm as a few days remain until the return of their favorite. An Enchirito fan took to Twitter commenting on how long they have been craving the chain's fusion dish.
Taco Bell fans share their excitement as the awaited day approaches
In the month of September, Taco Bell pitted the Enchirito against the Double Decker Taco, allowing customers to vote for their favorite and have it returned for a limited time. Enchirito fans across the country voted for their favorite in massive numbers, thereby securing a win for the fan-favorite item.
Now that Enchirito fans are finally about to get their hands on the fusion dish at the end of this week, their excitement levels seem uncontainable. Several tweets about the much-awaited comeback have flooded Twitter, only adding to the anticipation surrounding it.
Here are some reactions:
A user mentioned the taco chain in their tweet, urging the chain to "hurry up with the Enchirito."
One user seemed displeased with the Taco Chain about the limited number of days the Enchirito will be available for. The chain has mentioned that the awaited fusion dish will be available for three days only.
The chain has discontinued some of its major items in the last few years, much to the disappointment of fans. Some of the discontinued items include - Enchiritos, Double Decker Tacos, Cantina Tacos, Triple Steak Stack, and Meximelt. A user bashed the taco chain in their tweet about the discontinuation of some of the most popular items.
