Breakfast is back on the menu at Taco Bell, so there is free food to celebrate.
The chain is offering free breakfast burritos in its restaurants in the United States on Thursdays. The raffle, which will take place between 7am and 11am, is meant to be a reminder that breakfast has returned to around 90% of Taco Bell locations after being temporarily suspended due to the pandemic.
Taco Bell started breakfast in 2014 and expanded its morning menu in March 2020 – just days before Covid-19 brought the country to a standstill and forced a significant portion of its restaurants to stop selling. The option, which historically accounts for 6% of total sales, has now returned to around 7,000 locations.
Last year the chain added a new line of pressed breakfast burritos, including one made with eggs, sausage, and nacho cheese sauce. Another burrito has eggs, potato bites, pico de gallo, a three-cheese mix and either bacon or sausage, and another option has eggs, the three-cheese mix, a hash brown and bacon, or a sausage.
The burritos are part of the Thursday giveaway and typically sell for between $ 1.29 and $ 2.89. They must be ordered in person and there is a limit of one burrito per person.
The action comes as the rivals want to expand in the morning when people get back to their routines. Wendy’s recently announced that it is spending $ 25 million promoting its popular breakfast selection, and McDonald’s has added a new glazed donut to its McCafé bakery. Dunkin ‘has added a plant-based breakfast sandwich in the past few years.
