Dive into Taco Bell's collaboration with musician Omar Apollo, featuring the Disha Hot Sauce inspired by a family recipe. This blog explores how the partnership blends personal storytelling and music culture, offering unique products like a special vinyl record while celebrating heritage in a fresh way.

The story behind disha hot sauce

Disha Hot Sauce is a personal recipe from Apollo’s mother, dating back to when his parents ran a restaurant after emigrating from Guadalajara, Mexico. The sauce, a family favourite, is now being shared with the world through Taco Bell. “It’s not just about the flavors that take me back to my childhood, but about honoring my heritage,” says Omar Apollo.
