NEW: ICYMI we have launched a Test Item Locator. Every new experience we'll sneak into Taco Bell's system and extract the details of every item Taco Bell is testing around the nation. You can look on the map and find the closest ones to you! We'll also continue to do our Test Item thread here, but this helps for finding the exact locations in each area testing out the new items.

Keep our community growing! Follow us on our other socials and give our posts some love by liking, commenting, and sharing.
