Taco Bell Sides and Sweets Menu: Prices and Calories (2026)

Taco Bell Sides & Sweets: What to Order

Nacho Fries — $2.99 / 350 Cal

Nacho Fries are one of the best selling items on the taco bell sides menu, and they now hold a permanent spot on the menu rather than a limited time slot. Taco Bell first introduced Nacho Fries on January 25, 2018, originally as a limited time offer that ran only through April of that year.
Over the following eight years, the chain brought the fries back again and again, often more than once per year, which turned every return into its own small event for fans. That cycle finally ended in March 2026, when Taco Bell used its annual Live Más Live event to confirm that Nacho Fries would join the permanent menu later in the year, a status the item now holds. 

Customers get a regular order of seasoned, crispy fries with a warm nacho cheese dipping cup on the side. The fries carry a bold spice blend that sets them apart from standard fast food fries. A regular order has 350 calories and 4 grams of protein. For a larger portion, the Large Nacho Fries cost $3.99 and deliver 500 calories with 6 grams of protein. The Shredded Beef Nacho Fries ($5.99 / 480 Cal) add slow roasted beef on top for a more filling meal, though this version comes and goes as a limited time offer.

Cheesy Fiesta Potatoes $2.79 / 240 Cal

Cheesy Fiesta Potatoes are a crowd favorite among Taco Bell sides. The bowl comes with golden potato bites covered in warm nacho cheese sauce and cool sour cream. At 240 calories and $2.79, they offer solid value as an add on. They are also vegetarian, so they work well as a protein free side for anyone building a plant-based meal.

Chips and Guacamole $3.49 / 250 Cal

The Chips and Guacamole is one of the few vegan-friendly options on the taco bell sides menu. You get crispy corn tortilla chips paired with a portion of fresh, creamy guacamole. At 250 calories, it is a lighter choice for a snack or starter. The Chips and Nacho Cheese Sauce is the lower cost option at $2.59 if you prefer a cheesy dip instead.

Black Beans, Black Beans & Rice, and Pintos N Cheese

These three bean sides are low calorie and high fiber options. Black Beans stand out in particular at just 50 calories with 4 grams of fiber and 3 grams of protein for $2.79. Black Beans and Rice add carbohydrates from seasoned rice and bring the total to 160 calories at $2.69. Pintos N Cheese top warm pinto beans with red sauce and a three cheese blend for 170 calories and 9 grams of protein. All three sides are vegetarian, and the black bean items are also vegan.

Cinnamon Twists $1.69 / 170 Cal

Cinnamon Twists are the most affordable sweet on the menu at $1.69. The light, airy puffed corn snacks come dusted in a cinnamon sugar blend. They have 170 calories and no cholesterol, making them a reasonable dessert choice. Additionally, Cinnamon Twists are naturally vegan since they contain no dairy or animal ingredients.

Cinnabon Delights $2.49 (2pk) / $8.49 (12pk)

Cinnabon Delights are the signature sweet on the taco bell sides menu. Each small pastry ball is warm, filled with sweet cream icing, and coated in cinnamon sugar. The 2 pack is 170 calories at $2.49, which makes it a reasonable dessert add on. The 12 pack at $8.49 reaches 1,010 calories and serves about 4 people. The Strawberry Cinnabon Delights are a limited time variation at $2.69 for a 2 pack, also at 170 calories, with a strawberry sugar coating instead of the classic cinnamon version.

Best sweet for kids: the Cinnabon Delights 2 pack works especially well for kids, thanks to its small, bite sized pastries and familiar cinnamon sugar flavor. At 170 calories for the whole pack, it fits more easily into a kids meal than the 1,010 calorie 12 pack. Cinnamon Twists offer a lighter, less messy alternative for younger eaters who prefer something crunchy over something filled with icing.
