After More Than a Decade of Fan Demand, Taco Bell® Finally Brings Diablo Sauce to Canada

Since its U.S. debut in 2015, Canadian fans have been asking for Diablo on Taco Bell Canada’s social channels, and the fan-favorite sauce is now finally arriving in restaurants alongside a Canadian-exclusive Diablo Buffalo Crispy Chicken menu.

VAUGHAN, Ontario--(BUSINESS WIRE)--After more than a decade of waiting, Canadian Taco Bell fans are finally getting their wish. Starting this spring, Taco Bell Canada is making its iconic Diablo sauce available at restaurants for the first time, for a limited time at participating locations.

Since Diablo first launched in the U.S in 2015, Canadian fans have repeatedly asked Taco Bell to bring the sauce north – on the brand’s own social channels and across online communities. That anticipation has even spilled into Reddit threads with Canadians asking how to get Diablo and fellow Taco Bell fans offering to mail care packages across the border.

“Canadian fans have been asking us to bring Diablo north for years. We've seen it in our comments, across social and in online threads from Canadians trying to figure out how to get their hands on it,” said Meera Patel, Director of Marketing, Taco Bell Canada. “When the demand is that clear, the answer is simple: listen. Bringing Diablo sauce to Canadian restaurants is the moment fans have been waiting for, and Diablo Buffalo lets us make that moment uniquely ours in Canada.”

To mark the launch, Taco Bell Canada is also introducing the new Diablo Buffalo Crispy Chicken menu, a limited time lineup that brings Diablo-inspired heat to the brand’s crispy chicken offerings - including tacos, burritos, tenders and a Canadian-exclusive Diablo Buffalo Crispy Chicken Crunchwrap.

Diablo and Diablo Buffalo sauce were first unveiled at Canada’s second annual Live Mas Live, Taco Bell's innovation showcase that gives fans an inside look at the bold ideas, menu items and cultural moments shaping what's next for the brand.

Starting March 26, fans can try Diablo Buffalo – a sauce that blends classic buffalo flavour with Taco Bell's signature Diablo heat and ranch for a creamy, spicy kick. The sauce is featured across Taco Bell’s Crispy Chicken lineup, including tacos, burritos, tenders and Crunchwraps, and will also be available to order on the side.

Leading the menu is the Diablo Buffalo Crispy Chicken Crunchwrap, a Canadian-exclusive item featuring all-white meat crispy chicken tenders, Diablo Buffalo sauce, fresh pico de gallo and a three-cheese blend, all wrapped in the iconic hexagonal shape. The item is available on its own or in the new $16 Discovery Luxe Box, as part of Taco Bell’s tiered value platform.

And for the fans who have waited years to get their hands on it, Diablo sauce will also be available on its own at participating Taco Bell Canada restaurants for a limited time this spring.
