The test menu at the three Taco Bell locations consists of the Tostada, Green Burrito, Meximelt, Beef Gordita Supreme and Caramel Apple Empanada, Taco Bell said. The prices of those items, which saw major traction while on Taco Bell’s menu in past decades, range from $2.19 to $2.99. 

Taco Bell said the Fullerton restaurant will offer the nostalgic menu through Monday "while supplies last." The other two locations will have it until Wednesday.

"We’re thrilled to unite two groups of fans: those who fondly remember these menu items and those who have yet to experience the delight of a Caramel Apple Empanada or savor their first bite of a Meximelt with this menu," chief marketing officer Taylor Montgomery said in a statement.
