Taco Bell’s long-teased Baja Blast Pie has officially arrived in stores just in time for the holidays, and TikTok is already divided over whether it’s a sleeper hit or an unsettling science experiment.
Featured VideoThe bright turquoise dessert, first announced in February 2024 and inspired by Mountain Dew’s cult-favorite Baja Blast, features a creamy key-lime-style filling in a graham cracker crust.
According to food critics who tried it, the pie has a tropical, sweet, and tangy flavor. An 8-slice pie goes for $19.99. But are Taco Bell fans going to go for it?
AdvertisementTikTok creators are sharing their reviews, and commenters are approaching the menu item with caution, comparing the color to Irish Spring soap, toothpaste, and radioactive material.
TikTok’s reactions range from “actually good” to “this is a war crime”
A Taco Bell employee tried the new menu item in a clip shared on Nov. 1, 2025. “It’s not bad,” @tmprettyy said. “I’d definitely give it a 7 out of 10.”

The self-described chocolate lover says people who like citrus and lemon-flavored sweets will like the Baja Blast pie. She reassured commenters who remained unconvinced that the “radioactive” looking treat is edible.
“I’m still alive, guys—and it’s been about three days since I tried it.”
