Taco Bell $1 Value Menu May Go National

Taco Bell may launch its $1 Value Menu nationwide after testing it in Kansas City and Sacramento in January. Taco Bell received raves online about the low-cost menu and may respond to make customers happy.

"Our $1 Cravings Menu just went into test in two markets, and pending final results, will launch nationally in the near future," said Rob Poetsch, a spokesman for the fast-food chain.

The menu had 12 items, including several new foods like triple layer nachos, spicy beef mini quesadilla, churro, shredded chicken mini quesadilla, and beef cunchito.

"At Taco Bell, our value menu is our entire menu.  So when consumers are looking for what they get for what they pay - whether it be Fresh Mex with our Cantina Bell Menu, signature beverages or snacks with our Happier Hour Menu, or a dollar menu with our $1 Cravings Menu - Taco Bell can't be beat," said Poetsch.

The $1 Cravings menu would replace the current 'Why Pay More Menu' at Taco Bell, which features tiered pricing.

Taco Bell is owned by Yum Brands Inc., which also owns KFC and Pizza Hut.
