Well folks, if you’ve been keeping an eye on the news, you may not be having a Baja Blast right now, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t things to look forward to. That’s right, a new Mountain Dew flavor called Mountain Dew Baja Cabo Citrus is hitting stores this month. But that’s not all—Guacamole Doritos (yes, the very same ones from back in 2006) are making their much-anticipated return. Let’s just say, April is shaping up to be a big month for Mountain Dewers everywhere.
What does “Baja Cabo Citrus” even taste like? And will it pair well with Guacamole Doritos?
I have never been to Cabo, so I can’t say for sure if their citrus tastes any sort of Cabo-specific way. That said, images indicate that this new Mountain Dew flavor will come in both regular and zero sugar versions (the only Baja Mountain Dew besides regular Baja Blast to do so), and that it will be “Tropical Citrus Punch” flavored. Now you may be thinking “Hold on a dang second: Isn’t normal Baja Blast Tropical Lime flavored? Is that not already a tropical citrus punch of sorts?!” to which I would say, very astute observation, ossifer—and after doing some digging on Mtn Dew Wiki (the Dew fans dew be documenting), I dew in fact think the citrus in question this time is tangerine. A Pepsi employee who tried the new Mountain Dew flavor said on Reddit that it reminds them of Mountain Dew Livewire (which is orange flavored) mixed with original Mountain Dew. Plus, the liquid is orange.
Now, do I think tangerine-lime soda goes with guacamole? Yes, yes I do. Guacamole Doritos supposedly taste similar to Cool Ranch but they’re green—that’s according to folks in Canada, where Guacamole Doritos returned to shelves in 2023. Personally, I don’t see how this combo could be bad. It’s basically orange-lime soda with Cool Ranch Doritos, and as I’m writing this, I don’t think there is anything I could possibly be craving more right now.
And if you, like me, are mountin’ your horse and getting ready to ride over to the store and “Do the Dew,” I say hold that horse just a little while longer. Baja Cabo Citrus Mountain Dew won’t start hitting shelves until April 21, while the Guacamole Doritos will start rolling out on April 28. Both appear to be limited-time offerings, so if you end up liking either of these, vote with your dollars, people! Show the dewers high up on the official mountain (I assume the brand is run from a high altitude cave) what to dew, and maybe, just maybe, they will let us keep one of these bad boys permanently.

Drinking one of these right now. Just found em in Walmart here in Arkansas. Grabbed the zero sugar version.
The livewire/regular dew combo is my take as well. Maybe livewire with baja blast.
Very good and very refreshing.
I can never understand on why we can’t get any of those new flavors in NYC. I would have to wait for a vacation anywhere and see if I can find any of those wherever I’m at.
Mtn Dew Baja Point Break Punch was absolutely the best flavor. I REALLY wish they’d bring that one back!!!
Major melon Mt.Dew was the best flavor and it was discontinued in Ohio, can I order it? Live wire & blackberry taste aweful!
Hopefully the guacamole flavored one won’t contain sour cream or buttermilk as both tend to take the flavor away from everything else.
Can’t wait, these both sound amazing! 😄
When are they bringing M/D’s Pitch Black back…?
My fav of all time is Livewire & Game Fuel, Game Fuel is very hard to find but I’m sure Tangerine will gé great!!
I saw this pop up in my Google recommended feed and based on the color I thought it was going to be Mountain Dew flavored Doritos and Doritos flavored Mountain Dew 💀 this is so much better than that lol
Guacamole those are not new they’re old and I love them return of the only guac chip I can eat.
I think it’s just a seasonal flavor. Either way they need to bring it back every year if it’s as good as you say. Another flavor I like is the classic barbecue Fritos and while they don’t make it very often I think they should at least have it around for the summers.
I really think that they will be pretty good I don’t know but I would definitely need to try them!!! 😉
I’ve tried the hot fired Mountain Dew and my mouth was on fire 🔥 I. Didn’t like it
Why release another Doritos if it just tastes like Cool Ranch? That statement completely knocked the wind out of my sails. The new MD flavor sounds good.
