Taco Bell is testing a new menu item, and Dallas gets a first taste. What to know

Taco Bell’s latest drink creation is coming to Dallas.

The new Churro Chillers arrived Thursday, April 25, at Taco Bell locations across the city, according to the national chain. The beverages are also being tested in Chicago.

A spin on a traditional milkshake, the drinks are “layered with crunchy churro crumbles on the bottom and top of the treat,” a product description reads. Customers can pick from four flavors:

• Sweet vanilla
• Mexican hot chocolate
• Dulce de leche coffee
• Wild strawberry

The churro chiller and coffee chiller were previously offered at two locations in Southern California as part of a limited-time test, McClatchy News reported.

“We’re always pushing the boundaries to deliver bold and craveable Mexican-inspired flavors our fans have come to expect from us and these frozen drinks showcase how far our innovation goes,” Taylor Montgomery, chief marketing officer for Taco Bell U.S., said at the time.

The beverages are available for a limited time, though Taco Bell didn’t say for how long.

It’s not the only new item coming to Texas. Houston-area residents will get a first taste of Taco Bell’s crispy chicken nuggets starting this week, according to the restaurant chain.
