How Taco Bell Taco Prices Compare
Taco Bell’s classic tacos sit near the low end of Mexican fast food pricing nationally. The table below lines up comparable items across major chains, based on third party menu tracking sites that monitor pricing across locations. These are estimates, not official brand figures, and they vary by market and change often.
| Chain | Comparable Item | Approximate Price | Notes |
| Taco Bell | Crunchy Taco | $1.99 | Classic crunchy corn shell, seasoned beef |
| Del Taco | The Del Taco (crunchy taco) | ~$2.99 | More seasoned beef and hand grated cheddar per third party trackers |
| Chipotle | Build your own taco | $8+ | Different model, priced per protein and build rather than a fixed menu item |
Consequently, Taco Bell’s Crunchy Taco still undercuts the comparable Del Taco item by roughly a dollar. Chipotle, meanwhile, operates in a separate premium tier rather than a direct value comparison, since it sells build your own tacos and bowls rather than a fixed price menu. Always confirm current pricing directly through each brand’s app before drawing conclusions, since these figures shift often.
Best Taco Bell Tacos to Order
Choosing a favorite from tacos menu down to what you value most, whether that’s flavor, price, or protein. The four picks below cover the strongest option in each category, from a longtime classic to the newest Fajita Street Chalupas.
Cheesy Gordita Crunch, Best Overall
The Cheesy Gordita Crunch ($5.69, 480 calories) fuses a crunchy taco shell to a warm flatbread with melted three cheese blend. Seasoned beef, shredded lettuce, and Spicy Ranch sauce fill the center. Consequently, the cheese layer works as both structural glue and a flavor upgrade.
Cantina Chicken Crispy Taco, Best New Pick
The Cantina Chicken Crispy Taco ($3.19, 360 calories) fills a crispy white corn shell with Cantina chicken, creamy avocado ranch sauce, and a melted three cheese blend. Meanwhile, the Cantina Chicken Soft Taco swaps the shell for a soft flour tortilla with purple cabbage and cheddar cheese for the same $3.19.
Spicy Potato Soft Taco, Best Value
The Spicy Potato Soft Taco ($1.39, 240 calories) is native vegetarian and significantly underrated for the price. Crispy spiced potatoes, chipotle sauce, lettuce, and cheese fill a warm flour tortilla. Removing the cheese makes it fully vegan, and it remains the cheapest item on the entire tacos menu.
Steak Fajita Street Chalupas, Best for a Bigger Appetite
Two street sized chalupa shells hold grilled, marinated steak, fajita peppers, onions, and creamy jalapeno sauce in this new item. Cilantro and onion top every shell. At $5.99 for 720 calories, it works well as a full meal rather than a snack.

How to Customize Taco Bell Tacos
Every taco on the menu is fully customizable through the Taco Bell app, website, or in person. The most useful swaps include the following.
- Swap beef for grilled chicken. This adds protein and often reduces calories slightly.
- Swap beef for black beans. This makes any taco vegetarian and significantly cuts saturated fat.
- Order Fresco Style. This replaces cheese and sour cream with diced tomatoes, cutting 20 to 30 calories per item.
- Add guacamole. This adds healthy fats for a small upcharge.
- Order it naked. Removing the shell entirely turns any taco into a keto friendly bowl.
- Double the protein. This raises calories and protein together for an extra charge.
The Taco Bell app shows a live nutrition preview as you customize, so you can build the exact macros you want before ordering.
Dietary Options: Vegetarian, Vegan, Keto & Gluten Free Tacos
Vegetarian Tacos
The Spicy Potato Soft Taco and Black Bean Chalupa Supreme are vegetarian in their standard builds, with no modifications needed. Furthermore, every beef based taco becomes vegetarian once you swap the meat for black beans. The Crunchy Taco with black beans is the lowest calorie vegetarian option, at 170 calories. See the vegetarian menu guide for a complete list across every category.
Vegan Tacos
The Spicy Potato Soft Taco becomes vegan with two modifications, removing both the cheese blend and the egg based chipotle sauce. The Crunchy Taco and Soft Taco also go vegan by swapping beef for black beans and removing the cheese. Meanwhile, the fried Chalupa Supreme shell is dairy free by default, so black beans and no cheese or sour cream makes it vegan too. See the vegan options guide for the full plant based menu across every category.
Keto Tacos
Standard taco shells, whether corn, flour, or flatbread, carry too many carbohydrates for keto diets. The workaround is ordering your favorite filling naked, meaning without the shell, served directly in a bowl. Skipping the shell converts the Crunchy Taco or the Cantina Chicken Crispy Taco into a solid low carb option. See the keto options guide for a complete low carb strategy across the full menu.
Gluten Considerations
The Crunchy Taco and Cantina Chicken Crispy Taco use corn based shells with no wheat ingredients, making them the closest options to gluten free at Taco Bell. However, Taco Bell explicitly states that no item is certified gluten free, since everything is prepared on shared surfaces with real cross contamination risk. Anyone managing a severe wheat allergy should review the Taco Bell gluten free guide before visiting.
Ordering Tacos Through Delivery Apps
Prices on delivery platforms such as Uber Eats, DoorDash, and Grubhub typically run higher than in store prices, since these apps add markup and service fees on top of standard menu pricing. Ordering directly through the Taco Bell website or app generally saves money compared to third party delivery. For the most accurate current price at your location, check the app before placing an order.
Order Taco Bell Tacos Online
Order from the full tacos menu using the app for delivery or pickup, and customize each item exactly how you want it before it leaves the restaurant.
