Taco Bell’s Luxe Box come in three tiers: the Classic Luxe Box (advertised at $5, checkout price $5.99), the Supreme Luxe Box at $7.99, and the Discovery Luxe Box at $9.99. Each box bundles a protein item, a side, and a medium fountain drink, with calories ranging from 820 up to 1,570 depending on the tier. The Supreme box builds directly on the Classic box, while the Discovery box swaps in entirely different proteins. This guide breaks down every item inside each box, plus how swapping a taco, side, or protein changes your total price and calories.
What Are Taco Bell Luxe Boxes?
Taco Bell Luxe Boxes are fixed price combo meals sold at three set tiers: $5, $7, and $9. Each box pairs a specialty protein item with a taco, a side, and a medium fountain drink under one flat total. Unlike the Build Your Own Luxe Cravings Box at $7.69, which lets you pick every component yourself, Luxe Boxes ship with preset contents at each price point.
The three tiers run at participating US locations for a limited time, according to Taco Bell’s official promotions page. Pricing and availability can shift by location, so confirm current details in the app before ordering.
The $5 Classic Luxe Box
The Classic Luxe Box costs $5.99 at checkout and runs 0 to 490 calories per item, with a full box total between 820 and 1,100 calories depending on your choices. The default build includes a Beefy 5-Layer Burrito, a Crunchy Taco, Chips and Nacho Cheese Sauce, and a Medium Fountain Drink. This differs from Taco Bell’s own promotional page, which lists Cinnamon Twists in place of the chips and cheese side. The live order page reflects the version confirmed here, so treat the chips and cheese build as the current standard.
Note on pricing: Taco Bell’s promotional page advertises this box starting at $5, though the checkout price at this location runs $5.99. Confirm your exact total in the app before ordering, since franchise pricing can push the box above its advertised starting price.
Taco Swap Options
The Crunchy Taco slot opens a swap menu with six options, five of which carry an upcharge.
| Taco Option | Price Change | Calories |
|---|---|---|
| Crunchy Taco (default) | Included | 170 Cal |
| Soft Taco | No charge | 180 Cal |
| Nacho Cheese Doritos Locos Tacos | +$1.00 | 170 Cal |
| Crunchy Taco Supreme | +$1.10 | 190 Cal |
| Soft Taco Supreme | +$1.10 | 200 Cal |
| Nacho Cheese Doritos Locos Tacos Supreme | +$2.10 | 190 Cal |
Every upcharge on this list costs more than the same swap inside the $9 Discovery Luxe Box, where the same Doritos Locos Tacos Supreme option runs only $1.20 extra. The Classic box’s lower base price carries a bigger swap premium as a tradeoff.
Side and Sauce Swap Options
The Chips and Nacho Cheese Sauce side swaps to one alternative.
| Side Option | Price Change | Calories |
|---|---|---|
| Chips and Nacho Cheese Sauce (default) | Included | 220 Cal |
| Chips and Guacamole | +$0.90 | 230 Cal |
Both sauce options carry a vegetarian flag inside the app.
Drink Options
The Medium Fountain Drink slot includes a full lineup of sodas, teas, and Freezes at no extra charge, with calories varying by selection from 0 up to several hundred. See the full Taco Bell drinks menu for every flavor and its calorie count before you choose.
The $7 Supreme Luxe Box
The Supreme Luxe Box costs $7.99 at checkout and runs 0 to 490 calories per item, with a full box total between 1,150 and 1,430 calories. The default build pairs a Chicken Chalupa Supreme with a Beefy 5-Layer Burrito, a Crunchy Taco, Chips and Nacho Cheese Sauce, and a Medium Fountain Drink, rather than the Cinnamon Twists shown on Taco Bell’s promotional page. Seasoned beef, melted cheese, and a warm fried chalupa shell repeat across most of this box, giving it a heavier texture profile than the Classic tier.
The Beefy 5-Layer Burrito in this box only accepts customization, not a full swap, so its five layers of seasoned beef, beans, and cheese stay fixed at 490 calories. The Chalupa, taco, and side each open their own swap menu instead.
Protein Swap Options
The Chicken Chalupa Supreme swaps to three alternatives, one of which carries an upcharge.
| Chalupa Option | Price Change | Calories |
|---|---|---|
| Chalupa Supreme, Chicken (default) | Included | 330 Cal |
| Chalupa Supreme, Steak | +$0.30 | 340 Cal |
| Chalupa Supreme (Beef) | No charge | 350 Cal |
| Black Bean Chalupa Supreme | No charge | 340 Cal |
The Black Bean Chalupa Supreme is the only vegetarian option in this slot, and it costs the same as the default chicken build.
Taco Swap Options
The Crunchy Taco slot opens the same six option menu found in the Classic Luxe Box.
| Taco Option | Price Change | Calories |
|---|---|---|
| Crunchy Taco (default) | Included | 170 Cal |
| Soft Taco | No charge | 180 Cal |
| Nacho Cheese Doritos Locos Tacos | +$1.00 | 170 Cal |
| Crunchy Taco Supreme | +$1.10 | 190 Cal |
| Soft Taco Supreme | +$1.10 | 200 Cal |
| Nacho Cheese Doritos Locos Tacos Supreme | +$2.10 | 190 Cal |
See the full taco lineup for how each of these tacos prices on its own outside the box.
Side and Sauce Swap Options
The Chips and Nacho Cheese Sauce side swaps to one alternative, matching the Classic box exactly.
| Side Option | Price Change | Calories |
|---|---|---|
| Chips and Nacho Cheese Sauce (default) | Included | 220 Cal |
| Chips and Guacamole | +$0.90 | 230 Cal |
Both sauce options carry a vegetarian flag inside the app. For the burrito behind this box, see the full burritos menu to compare the Beefy 5-Layer Burrito against other builds.
The $9 Discovery Luxe Box
The Discovery Luxe Box costs $9.99 at checkout and runs 0 to 680 calories per item, with a full box total between 1,290 and 1,570 calories depending on your choices. The default build includes a Steak Grilled Cheese Burrito, Nacho Cheese Doritos Locos Tacos, a Crunchy Taco, Chips and Nacho Cheese Sauce, and a Medium Fountain Drink. Three of the five components accept a swap through the app, each changing your total price and calorie count.
Burrito Swap Options
The Steak Grilled Cheese Burrito swaps to three alternatives at no extra charge, so only the calorie count shifts.
| Burrito Option | Price Change | Calories |
|---|---|---|
| Steak Grilled Cheese Burrito (default) | Included | 680 Cal |
| Grilled Cheese Burrito | No charge | 690 Cal |
| Chicken Grilled Cheese Burrito | No charge | 670 Cal |
| Black Bean Grilled Cheese Burrito, Black Beans | No charge | 680 Cal |
The Black Bean Grilled Cheese Burrito is the only vegetarian swap in this slot, and it holds the same 680 calories as the default steak option.
Taco Swap Options
Two separate taco slots sit inside the Discovery Luxe Box, and each opens a different swap menu.
The Nacho Cheese Doritos Locos Tacos slot swaps between two simple options.
| Taco Option | Price Change | Calories |
|---|---|---|
| Nacho Cheese Doritos Locos Tacos (default) | Included | 170 Cal |
| Crunchy Taco | No charge | 170 Cal |
| Soft Taco | No charge | 180 Cal |
The separate Crunchy Taco slot opens a wider swap menu with six total options, three of which carry an upcharge.
| Taco Option | Price Change | Calories |
|---|---|---|
| Crunchy Taco (default) | Included | 170 Cal |
| Soft Taco | No charge | 180 Cal |
| Nacho Cheese Doritos Locos Tacos | No charge | 170 Cal |
| Crunchy Taco Supreme | +$0.20 | 190 Cal |
| Soft Taco Supreme | +$0.20 | 200 Cal |
| Nacho Cheese Doritos Locos Tacos Supreme | +$1.20 | 190 Cal |
Choosing a Supreme version in this slot adds sour cream and tomatoes, which explains the small upcharge and higher calorie count on all three premium options.
Side and Sauce Swap Options
The Chips and Nacho Cheese Sauce side swaps to one alternative.
| Side Option | Price Change | Calories |
|---|---|---|
| Chips and Nacho Cheese Sauce (default) | Included | 220 Cal |
| Chips and Guacamole | +$0.90 | 250 Cal |
Both the default sauce and the guacamole swap carry a vegetarian flag inside the app, so neither change affects vegetarian eligibility.
Like the Chicken Chalupa Supreme in the Supreme box, the Steak Grilled Cheese Burrito does not sell as a separate standalone menu item outside this box. This makes the Discovery Luxe Box the only entry point for that specific protein format, alongside its full swap menu above.
Dietary Options Across All Three Luxe Boxes
Vegetarian swaps exist in every box, though vegan and keto options stay limited across the entire lineup. The table below summarizes what fits each dietary need without digging through every swap menu again.
| Dietary Need | Classic Luxe Box | Supreme Luxe Box | Discovery Luxe Box |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vegetarian | Chips and Nacho Cheese Sauce or Chips and Guacamole are vegetarian; burrito and taco stay meat based | Black Bean Chalupa Supreme swap plus either sauce option builds a vegetarian box | Black Bean Grilled Cheese Burrito swap plus either sauce option builds a vegetarian box |
| Vegan | Not available through standard app swaps | Not available through standard app swaps | Not available through standard app swaps |
| Keto and Low Carb | Not suitable, every component uses a shell or tortilla | Not suitable, every component uses a shell or tortilla | Not suitable, every component uses a shell or tortilla |
| Gluten Considerations | No certified gluten free option; Doritos Locos Tacos shell contains no wheat but shares fryers | No certified gluten free option; Doritos Locos Tacos shell contains no wheat but shares fryers | No certified gluten free option; Doritos Locos Tacos shell contains no wheat but shares fryers |
None of the three boxes offer a vegan swap through the app’s standard menu, since every burrito, taco, and chalupa option contains dairy in its cheese or sauce.
