Taco Bell has lots of menu items that have a huge fan following. Nacho Fries keep getting requested to come back, the return of the Mexican Pizza even had a whole movement (with Dolly Parton involved!), and everything from the Crunchwrap Supreme to the Grilled Cheese Burrito is a fan - favorite.
One beverage that's really stood the test of time and has as many fans as Coca - Cola and Pepsi is the Mountain Dew Baja Blast. More than 20 years ago, Mountain Dew and Taco Bell got together to create this exclusive tropical soda that fans just love.
Over the years, we've seen many versions of the Baja Blast. There was the Baja Blast Freeze, the Baja Blast Gelato (which sold out super fast), and the highly anticipated Baja Blast Pie, set to hit Taco Bell menus later this year.
Now, to mark the Baja Blast's 21st birthday, Taco Bell is doing something new. For the first time in over 20 years, they're releasing an all - new Baja Blast flavor, and it'll only be available at Taco Bell.
Back in 2004, Mountain Dew Baja Blast was first released only at Taco Bell. Its popularity made it available in grocery stores too, and there were new flavors. To celebrate their 21 - year partnership, Taco Bell and Mountain Dew are going back to basics with a new Baja Midnight flavor, exclusive to Taco Bell restaurants.
Baja Midnight, first announced at Live Más Live 2025, is Taco Bell's first - ever Baja Blast flavor. It adds passion fruit flavors to the tropical lime soda. This dark purple, midnight - inspired pop will be on Taco Bell menus starting Aug. 14, and the best part is, it's permanent.
Baja Midnight will be on Taco Bell's regular drinks menu, along with the ever - popular Baja Blast and Baja Blast Freeze. There'll also be a frozen Baja Midnight Freeze, but only for a limited time.
I tried the new Baja Midnight at Live Más Live earlier this year and thought it was an "extra - fruity version of the classic." Even though summer's ending, I think this new drink will be a hit for the rest of the warm season and beyond.
