Apparently approving of their tasty new Nacho Fries or thinking that they don’t need to give out free nachos just because someone gives birth in their parking lot don’t count for anything, but hey, that’s the internet for you! So perhaps it will blow your mind when we say that there is not one, but in fact TWO new Taco Bell nachos that we are actively looking forward to!

In a year of “interesting” nacho toppings and Nacho Vigalondo films that still don’t feature nachos because how could this world be so perfect, there were other nacho related things that we actually covered! Things such as…
