ST. LOUIS PARK, Minn., May 11, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The best comeback stories are fan-powered, and Taco John’s® fans have spoken loud and clear. After years of persistent pleas, social buzz, and unwavering loyalty from its devoted fanbase, Taco John’s is answering the call with the return of one of its most beloved and requested menu items: Mexi Rolls®.
Handmade in-house daily, Mexi Rolls feature seasoned 100% North American beef, refried beans, and melted Cheddar cheese, all wrapped in a flour tortilla and fried to crispy perfection. Crunchy, craveable, and unmistakably iconic, they’re back along with a choice of seven dipping sauces for a limited time at all Taco John’s locations.
“The Mexi Roll comeback is a testament to the power of Taco John’s fans. Their passion, persistence, and appetite made this moment possible,” said Taco John’s President and CEO Heather Neary.
A Crispy Fan Favorite Returns for a Limited Time
Though Mexi Rolls disappeared from most menus years ago at all but a few Taco John’s locations, demand never faded. The fan-led “Roll-volution” to bring them back has only grown louder over the years, keeping the crispy favorite at the top of Taco John’s fan wish lists.
Now, the wait is over, and fans can once again revel in hot and fresh Mexi Rolls. Available in 2-, 4-, and 6-piece sizes, priced at $3.99, $5.99, and $7.99, respectively, each order comes with a choice of one of seven dipping sauces to customize every bite, including Nacho Cheese, Sour Cream, Guacamole, House Salsa, Fiesta Sauce, Ranch and New Avocado Ranch.
Whether fans are rediscovering a longtime favorite or trying Mexi Rolls for the first time, Taco John’s is bringing the flavor, and the nostalgia, back in a big way.
