This week, Taco Bell let fans know that their voices had been heard: people want the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/the-double-decker-taco-and-enchirito-go-head-to-head-as-taco-bell-fans-vote-on-which-will-briefly-return-to-menus-in-2022-301633895.html?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=enchirito-vs-double-decker-taco-fans-decide-the-fate-of-two-beloved-taco-bell-menu-items-2719842" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Enchirito and Double Decker Taco</a> to return to the menu. But it looks like this menu isn’t big enough for the both of ‘em. Starting Tuesday and through Oct. 6, Taco Rewards members will be able to vote in the Taco Bell app for which of the two they want to see return. The winner will be displayed on Oct. 7 and launched at participating locations at a later date.<img class="image_resized" style="width:790px;" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/4VhxdpJEllm1RxD-23SJ40OUPAaFrSvhzLM9Qb6dLChRl4pUCEfJ9h48LDXQTPxFlC4-TybNYHuhr7AI9mZnykthzw25lUyJQEng-s5DzpGhPRT8guM5TRFj9fuUZemTdPpQqdFSHN_xXtuf-UiGz9ZfvAcc5ipMloLa96zV7k2Z23XZFYxki9C-">Taco Bell<img class="image_resized" style="width:780px;" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/dBNSJExGI2svEfffnK_mi3emSjMxNdQEH06td1SZKL4AKZhQTeupljiYYaps-IkUNkjY2p-NfR7J1YgFywLUcV8r_8zXPm0rE6foufl3BqPsMJZDGkOOjeW2ssi2fvCbSiDFhqkO7LnNOm1rLGyAZLw8R396e9aVJW8XDaLm4dbQnOh44pxSDuUP">Taco BellThe match-up comes following the recent return of the beloved&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/the-history-of-taco-bells-strangest-menu-item-the-mexican-pizza-2719355">Mexican Pizza</a>.

When the item was discontinued in 2019, many fans made their complaints heard. The same was true of the Enchirito, which had a place on the Taco Bell menu for more than 40 years before falling off in 2013.&nbsp;If this year’s limited-run of the Mexican Pizza proved anything for Taco Bell, it was that drumming up social media buzz and consumer demand around menu items of yesteryear is a sure-fire way to drive sales (the chain saw an&nbsp;<a href="https://www.qsrmagazine.com/fast-food/taco-bell-beats-tough-environment-thanks-mexican-pizza?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=enchirito-vs-double-decker-taco-fans-decide-the-fate-of-two-beloved-taco-bell-menu-items-2719842" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">8% increase</a> in same-store sales when the item was briefly brought back in the second quarter of 2022). Time will tell whether the Enchirito or the Double Decker Taco have the same kind of sway, but it appears like Taco Bell has found a creative way around trying to determine which one is the better choice.
