Just in time for the last days of summer, Taco Bell is rolling out a taco made for the heat—alongside another frozen treat.
Taco Bell and ice cream makers Salt & Straw are coming together once again, bringing a new version of their viral ice cream taco—the tacolate— which sold out during its launch weekend last year.
“The response completely blew us away—and our guests made it clear they wanted it to stick around,” Tyler Malek, co-founder and head ice cream maker at Salt & Straw, said in press statement.
He added, “When we had the chance to take the idea beyond our shops with Taco Bell, we wanted to dream up something completely new. The Churro Ice Cream Taco brings together what both brands do best, and we’re so excited for people across the country to finally get their hands on one.”
Dubbed the Salt & Straw Churro Ice Cream Taco, the new limited-edition menu item features a waffle cone “taco” shell filled with Churro ice cream, topped with puffed rice and dark chocolate. The frozen treat is available to customers for $3.99 in Taco Bell locations nationwide.
“Last year’s collaboration showed us how much joy there is in reimagining a nostalgic favorite, and we’re thrilled to work with Salt & Straw to bring a new ice cream taco to Taco Bell restaurants,” Liz Matthews, Global Chief Food Innovation Officer at Taco Bell, said in a press statement.
Matthews added, “the Churro Ice Cream Taco builds on everything fans loved about the original collaboration, with a flavor that feels right at home on our menu.”
In addition to the frozen taco comeback, Taco Bell and Salt & Straw are also partnering for a drinkable treat, rolling out the Salt & Straw Choco-Waffle Chiller. Featuring a vanilla ice cream base mixed with churro crumbles and waffle cone pieces, the milkshake is served with a set up in a chocolate crackable shell and whipped cream.
Available only at Live Más Cafés—drink-focused specialty locations within select Taco Bell restaurants—the ice cream taco-inspired drink will be available for $4.69. Both products will be available while supplies last.
