Taco Bell teases a radical menu change that could involve slashing potatoes, Quesaritos, and some nachos from the menu

• Taco Bell is planning to slash numerous menu items, including potato options, Quesaritos, and the Triple Layer Nachos and Nachos Supreme, according to an insider on Reddit.
• "We are in the process of evolving our menu to simplify operations and make our team member and customer experiences easier," a Taco Bell representative — who did not confirm the details of the evolution — told Business Insider.
• Fast-food chains including Subway and McDonald's have cut their menu during the coronavirus pandemic.

Taco Bell lovers are freaking out about social media reports of a radical menu change.

An insider at the fast-food chain posted on Reddit that Taco Bell is planning to make significant cuts to its menu in mid-August. According to the Reddit user, items on the chopping block include all potato items, Quesaritos, Beefy Frito Burritos, and the Triple Layer Nachos and Nachos Supreme.

The anonymous poster said that the information might be subject to change, but a Taco Bell representative told Business Insider that there is reason to believe a menu shift is in the works.

"We are in the process of evolving our menu to simplify operations and make our team member and customer experiences easier," a representative told Business Insider. "We'll have more to share with you soon."

The rumors of a radical menu change have already sparked discussion and backlash on social media.

A number of fast-food chains have cut down their menu during the coronavirus pandemic, which helps speed up service and makes workers' jobs easier.

McDonald's, for example, stopped serving All-Day Breakfast and cut salads from the menu. Subway stopped serving roast beef and rotisserie chicken. CNN reports chains known for their mega-menus, including IHOP and Dave & Buster's, have similarly cut back on offerings.
