I Tried 10 Of Taco Bell's Unhinged But Masterful New Items (Even The Edible Sauce Packets) - Tasting Table

"Taco Bell hosted the third annual Live Más Live event in Los Angeles, California, in early March 2026, where it unveiled 15 new products that it plans to release to locations across the country. Hosted by Vince Staples and full of guest appearances from celebrities like Demi Lovato, The Bella Twins, and Tara Lipinski, Live Más Live was nothing short of a taco-seasoned spectacle."

"Not everything was available for tasting, including the Cheesy Gordita Sliders, which looked like delicious miniature versions of Taco Bell's famous Cheesy Gordita Crunch. Similarly, the Flamin' Hot Nacho Fries garnered applause from the audience but were nowhere to be found afterward. Taco Bell also announced the continuation of its partnership with Milk Bar and unveiled a Birthday Cake Empanada."

"The Mountain Dew Baja Midnight Pie is inspired by the drink of the same name introduced during last year's Live Más Live event in New York City. Taco Bell plans to release this around November, perhaps making it an alternative to classic pumpkin pie at Thanksgiving. Like the original counterpart, the Midnight pies can be purchased whole."
