Yes, as of December 2024, Taco Bell does have Nacho Fries on their menu across the US.
Taco Bell, one of the world's most successful fast-food franchises, has expanded from a small restaurant launched in the 1960s to a business that serves two billion consumers per year as of 2024. It's a long cry from Glen Bell's little one-food stand in the 1950s, which eventually grew into the business that fans know today. That was partly thanks to the companies’ acquisition by PepsiCo which transformed the chain into a worldwide sensation with over 8000 restaurants across the planet.
Does Taco Bell have Nacho Fries?
While Taco Bell did remove Nacho Fries in August 2024, the item was back on the menu a few months later and remains part of the Taco Bell menu as of December 2024. The item was removed despite the fact that Taco Bell promised customers that it would become a permanent part of their menu. However, eventually, the demand and clamor from fans and customers alike saw the fast-food chain bring back the beloved item.
These fries are seasoned with various Mexican spices and served with a side of warm nacho cheese for dipping, although Taco Bell has been experimenting and innovating with new sauces. It includes Jalapeno Ranch Nacho Fries and a few others, although only the standard version is available as of December 2024. The large Nacho Fries contains 470 calories while the regular Nacho Fries has 330 calories.

About Taco Bell
While it was officially founded in 1962, Taco Bell started in 1951 when Glen Bell, the founder, created a stand after learning how tacos were made. Eventually, Bell named it Taco Bell and opened his first restaurant in 1962. The rest is history as in the years since then, the fast-food chain exploded in success and grew rapidly thanks to franchising.
So much so, that it was eventually bought by PepsiCo in 1978, who made it part of their restaurant section alongside KFC and Pizza Hut. That is now called Yum! Brands and Taco Bell’s rapid expansion continued with over 8000 restaurants across the world.
