Taco Bell is back with another fun twist on their fan-favorite fries, and it’s something spice lovers are going to want to try fast. For a limited time, the chain has launched Loaded Steak and Jalapeño Fries, and yes, they’re just as bold as they sound. If you’ve loved the Nacho Fries in the past, this new version takes them to the next level.
Let’s break down everything that’s exciting about this new addition.
The Fries That Started It All
Back in 2018, Taco Bell released its iconic Nacho Fries. That release quickly became the most successful product launch in the company’s history. Since then, fans have waited each year for some new version to hit the menu. Now, Taco Bell is spicing things up once again with this fresh loaded version.
What’s in These Loaded Fries?
So, what do you get with these new Loaded Steak and Jalapeño Fries? It starts with Taco Bell’s seasoned fries. They’ve got that crispy outside and fluffy inside that fans love. Then they pile on the good stuff.
You get pieces of grilled steak, which are smoky and tender. On top of that, you’ll find pickled jalapeños for a nice kick. They add heat but also bring a tangy flavor that balances the richness of the steak. Of course, no Taco Bell fry dish would be complete without nacho cheese sauce. It’s warm, melty, and coats every fry perfectly.
To finish it off, there’s a creamy jalapeño sauce. This adds even more spice but in a smooth, creamy way. And here’s the fun part – you can customize your order with extras. Want tomatoes, guacamole, or some beans? Go ahead. Add avocado ranch sauce or onions if you’re feeling fancy. It’s your fries, your way.
How Much Do They Cost?
The basic serving of Loaded Steak and Jalapeño Fries costs $4.99. If you decide to add extras like guacamole or pico de gallo, the price will go up a bit. But even the standard version feels like a satisfying snack or meal side.
Some people online have pointed out that Taco Bell offered something similar in the past called Rattlesnake Fries, which only cost $2.99. So, yes, prices have gone up, but the flavor upgrade and added steak might make it worth the difference for many fans.
What Are People Saying About It?
On Reddit, people are already talking about the new fries. One user said, “They are pretty good if you like the jalapeño sauce.” Another added, “Had these today. Not bad. If you like the fries in general, then you’ll like it. The steak Taco Bell uses is always pretty good. At least as good as you’re gonna get from a fast food place.”
Of course, not everyone agrees on the price. Some think it’s a little high, especially if you compare it to the older Rattlesnake Fries. But others say the taste is on point, and that’s what really matters.
Wait, There’s More from Taco Bell
If you’re in Charlotte, North Carolina, Taco Bell is testing even more new items. According to food critic Markie Devo, there’s a Crispy Chicken Taco on the menu there. It’s a small taco with crispy chicken, purple cabbage, shredded lettuce, pico de gallo, cheddar cheese, and your choice of sauce. The sauces include spicy Ranchero or creamy Avocado Ranch. This little taco costs $2.79.
There’s also a bigger Crispy Chicken Burrito for $5.49. It’s got everything from the taco, but wrapped in a soft flour tortilla. If you’re into burritos, this might be worth watching for if it launches nationwide.
Mike’s Hot Honey Sauce Joins the Menu
One more fun thing. Taco Bell is offering a special sauce made in partnership with Mike’s Hot Honey. It’s called Mike’s Hot Honey Diablo Sauce. According to Taco Bell’s Global Chief Food Innovation Officer Liz Matthews, this sauce changes the game. It mixes sweet and spicy and gives fans a new way to enjoy nuggets or other favorites.
Fans are already excited about collecting this new sauce. Taco Bell has always been known for unique flavors and bold menu choices, and this new sauce fits right in.
So if you’re someone who loves spicy, cheesy, meaty snacks with a fast food twist, these fries could be your next craving. But remember, they’re only available for a limited time. Once they’re gone, you’ll be stuck waiting for the next wild fry drop from Taco Bell.
