Gidget, the chihuahua who appeared in many commercials for Taco Bell in the late 1990s, has passed away Tuesday night at the age of 15. She was famous for the lines, "Yo quiero Taco Bell!"; "Here Leezard!" (Taco Bell had tie-in items with the Sony/TriStar Godzilla in 1998) and "Drop the chalupa!"

The cause of death was said to have been due to a stroke.

Gidget, although a female chihuahua, was portrayed as a male dog and was voiced by by Argentine American actor Carlos Alazraqui.
