A New Standard for Value

The Luxe Value Menu isn’t just a collection of craveable items — it’s a bold statement about where Taco Bell is taking value in 2026 and beyond. The Luxe Value Menu delivers exciting, flavor-forward options that elevate everyday cravings. Designed for fans who want the most out of their dollar, the menu delivers rich flavors, unique forms, and ongoing innovation that keeps things fresh all year long to satisfy any Taco Bell cravings.

It’s proof that value shouldn’t require compromise. With the Luxe Value Menu, Taco Bell raises the bar for affordable indulgence, proving that value can be vast, elevated, and something worth bragging about.

“At Taco Bell, value has always been about delivering more — more flavor, more abundance, more options, more excitement,” said Luis Restrepo, Chief Marketing Officer, North America, at Taco Bell. “The Luxe Value Menu was built on one ambition: to defy expectations of what value can be. Through extensive fan testing and bold innovation, we created menu items that deliver an elevated experience at an accessible price point. This isn’t just a menu refresh, it’s a new standard for value at Taco Bell and across the industry.”

Take a Lap of Luxury

To celebrate the launch, Taco Bell is transforming one of its drive-thrus into a five-star tasting experience with Laps of Luxury — a first‑of‑its‑kind for the brand, multi‑course preview of the Luxe Value Menu served to guests in luxury vehicles provided as part of the experience, available via reservation only. Rewards Members in Southern California can reserve a spot via Resy to experience the elevated menu through an immersive drive-thru format, so we encourage Rewards Members to be on the lookout for the Resy link that will be sent to emails****.

The experience features a chauffeured, ten-lap journey through the drive-thru, with each menu item unveiled beneath a silver cloche as a string quartet serenades guests through the speakers — all while sipping a champagne flute of Baja Blast (no alcohol included!). Guiding the experience is a front-seat narrator who leads guests through each course with the expertise and flair of a sommelier.

  • Where:

    • 1604 S La Brea Ave, Los Angeles, CA

  • When:

    • Wednesday, January 14, 2026

      • First reservation: 5:15 PM

    • Thursday, January 15, 2026

      • First reservation: 11:00 AM

      • Last reservation: 6:30 PM

No matter which drive-thru you’re in, fans nationwide can also enjoy a guided tasting experience via audio tracks that can be accessed on Taco Bell’s website and on a well-known streaming platform. The audio guide walks listeners through the ten-course menu, savoring every cheesy, crunchy bite in the most luxurious way. Fans who can’t make it to the event can still create their own lap of luxury — whether in the drive-thru or from the comfort of home.

Value Is in Our DNA

From the legendary Cravings Value Menu to the wildly popular Luxe Boxes, Taco Bell has long defined what value looks like. But in 2026, value isn’t just defined by price, but by experiences that feel thoughtful, elevated, and worth savoring. The Luxe Value Menu embodies that shift, blending innovation with irresistible flavors fans know and love.
