Among the menu's revolving door of offerings, specialty nachos are a notable feature. For aficionados of Taco Bell's smothered tortilla chips, there's good news on the horizon: the arrival of what's sure to be a new favorite, the Cantina Chicken Loaded Nachos.
Imagine this: crunchy tortilla chips heaped with slow-roasted chicken, velvety nacho cheese sauce, dollops of sour cream, seasoned beans, pico de gallo, guacamole, creamy chipotle sauce, and a tantalizing three-cheese blend.
Now that's what I call a fully loaded plate of nachos!
From Eat This, Not That:
"This delectable nacho extravaganza is a true celebration of bold flavors and textures, making it a must-try for those lucky enough to get their hands on it," Taco Bell said in a description of the item provided to Eat This, Not That!
Unfortunately for Taco Bell fans outside of the Golden State, the Cantina Chicken Loaded Nachos are only available at select locations in Bakersfield, Calif. right now. However, Taco Bell often tests experimental new menu items in limited markets to gauge how they'll perform with customers before potentially rolling them out on a wider basis. So, fans can hope that the test run is successful enough for Taco Bell to launch the new nachos nationally in the future.
For those who are lucky enough to live near the Bakersfield stores, the Cantina Chicken Loaded Nachos are selling for a suggested price of $6.49, though prices may vary by location.
The Cantina Chicken Loaded Nacho test comes just a few weeks before Taco Bell's planned launch of a whole new Cantina Chicken Menu at restaurants nationwide on March 21. First announced at its Live Más Live event in Las Vegas earlier this month, the menu is comprised of five new options: a Cantina Chicken Burrito, Cantina Chicken Soft Taco, Cantina Chicken Crispy Taco, Cantina Chicken Quesadilla, and Cantina Chicken Bowl.
The menu will also introduce several brand-new ingredients to Taco Bell's stores, including purple cabbage, pico de gallo, a white corn taco shell, an Avocado Verde Salsa packet, and an oven-roasted, shredded chicken seasoned with savory Mexican spices.
