Taco Bell Will Launch Limited-Time Extra-Hot Sauce Packets
By Laura Northrup April 23, 2015


(Taco Bell)

Do you like to slather your Taco Bell meals with hot sauce, but find the chain’s standard packets insufficiently hot? Great news: super-hot sauce, which they’re calling “Diablo,” will be available from Taco Bell beginning on May 5. The not-so-great news for hot sauce fans is that the new sauce is only temporary.

This isn’t the first novel hot sauce product that we’ve heard about in recent months: Taco Bell has also reportedly been testing tortilla chips on a hot sauce theme in some markets. Those chips in “Diablo” flavor would probably be tongue-scorchingly delicious, but it seems unlikely that Taco Bell would produce any.

We don’t know how limited the availability of Diablo sauce will be, so you should probably grab handfuls of it and write a letter to the company if you don’t like it. Slathering some on a breakfast biscuit taco would certainly wake you up in the morning.

How hot could this be? Taco Bell hot sauce is weak.

Primavera-Backed Yum China Opens First Taco Bell In Shanghai

Taco Bell's first restaurant in Shanghai opens

Yum China Holdings, Inc., backed by private equity firm Primavera Capital Group and Ant Financial Services Group, has opened China's first Taco Bell restaurant in China today, as the fast-food franchise operator pushes for faster growth in the world's most populous country.

The restaurant, located in the Lujiazui financial district in Shanghai's Pudong district, is the result of a partnership between Yum China and Mexican cuisine chain Taco Bell Corp. Yum! Brands previously closed all four Taco Bell outlets it had in China in 2008 after unsatisfactory performance.

"We are excited to bring Taco Beel to China and open its first restaurant in a golden location in Shanghai," said Micky Pant, chief executive officer of Yum China, in a statement. "Chinese consumers wants to have the best experience available globally, while Taco Bell is an exciting brand anywhere in the world."

Yum China completed its separation from parent Yum Brands and began a U.S. trading debut as an independent company two months ago, following a US$460 million capital injection from Primavera and Alibaba's financial affiliate Ant Financial in September.

Now as a licensee of Yum! Brands in mainland China with exclusive rights to KFC, Pizza Hut, and Taco Bell, Yum China said it plans to triple its restaurant count to 20,000 in the next three years from 7,300 currently.

Taco Bell currently operates 7,000 restaurants globally, with 300 located outside of the U.S. in 26 countries. The company plans to increase its network to 10,000 in 2022, with China an important market to lead its expansion.

The companies said the Shanghai Taco Bell's menu is localized to add Chinese flavors and provides free wifi, electronic food ordering and mobile payment options.

Mexicans are going to be sneaking into China now that there are Taco Bells.

It's difficult for me to imagine having Mexican food in China. When I was in Taiwan, AFAIK there was NO Mexican food anywhere. It didn't seem like the kind of cuisine that would take hold in east Asia.
