Taco Bell's Volcano menu is finally back: Here's what's on it

Get your taste buds ready. Taco Bell's Volcano menu is once again erupting at the fast-food chain's hot spots across the U.S.

The return of the Volcano Burrito, Volcano Taco and Lava Sauce – for the first time since 2016 – has been long-awaited by the restaurant's devotees. Taco Bell Rewards members got a two-day head start on ordering from the limited-time menu but now all customers can order via the app or in restaurants.

“We’re always listening to our fans, and the extensive passion and needs of the Volcano fanbase could no longer go unmet,” said Taylor Montgomery, Taco Bell's U.S. chief marketing officer, in a press release about the menu's return.

What is on Taco Bell's Volcano Menu?

  • The Volcano Taco ($2.49). This taco has seasoned beef, shredded lettuce, a three-cheese blend and Lava sauce in a red crunchy taco shell.

  • The Double Beef Volcano Burrito ($3.99). Within the warm flour tortilla, there's seasoned rice, seasoned beef, three-cheese blend, reduced fat sour cream, crunchy Fiesta tortilla strips and Lava sauce. It gets its "double" name because it has twice the beef as a Beefy Melt Burrito.

  • Lava Sauce. The special sauce, made with a spicy cheese blend and heat from red jalapeño peppers, comes on the Volcano Taco and Double Beef Volcano Burrito. But you can also add it to any menu item for $1.
