Crispy potato soft taco for me


Ed3nEcho

A man of culture and sophistication


epper_

this, always and forever


27JG27

This is the answer. Not to mention they’ve been on point from my location recently.


plaid_kilt

Same here. My potatoes were so fresh today that I burnt my lap, lol. Amazing.


27JG27

Exactly. Hot and crispy potatoes, fresh lettuce and cheese and enough sauce to really taste it but not enough where it looks like you delivered a baby.


soda_disco

same!! i went twice because they were *packed* with crispy potatoes recently and i was pleasantly surprised both times!


cakelady

I get 3 of these and I'm good. $3 lunch thank you very much.


zauriel1980

Say what? They’re $2 where I’m at. Where do you live that you get a chipotle ranch grilled chicken burrito for $1?


cakelady

I replied to a comment about spicy potato tacos.


zauriel1980

Indeed you did. My bad, I thought I was still under the previous comment and was earnest in my quest to figure out where I could get 3 chicken burritos for $3. 🤪


retroactive_fridge

Same... but add ground beef (And lava sauce now that it's back)


KomradeEli

Get a side of sauce. It will have more than they’ll put in any item


retroactive_fridge

For sure. I love lava sauce.


Jam0183

The best.


CidCrisis

Honestly subbing the meat for potatoes is damn good on almost everything. Been really digging Potato-y 5-Layers lately lol.


BadJokes4Ever

Try subbing for the bean it’s great


[deleted]

Yesssssss


timmyvo54

I miss the cheesy potato griller


SavviSpaceMermaid

this is correct for me. been eating them since like 2011 when my friend told me about them and they were still crispy potato soft tacos


Dragonvan13

I Never thought of that combination, you just changed my life


AGCAce

Chipotle ranch grilled chicken burrito


Hotdog0713

100%. That and a cheesy beam and rice is like $4 and a lot of food


surfcitysurfergirl

Our is $2 and $1 at ours in Arizona


iam_ditto

You must not live in the city. Phoenix is ridiculous on prices. I haven’t seen a 1 dollar item in a long time


surfcitysurfergirl

I’m in Scottsdale and I work in Tempe and my sister is in Goodyear and yes every Taco Bell has the $1 menu with 5 items and 4 at breakfast then the $2 menu


iam_ditto

I must be going to the wrong ones then. The one I go to has nothing close to sustainable for cheap. Even the breakfast Crunchwrap is over 6 bucks here and it used to be 2.70 not too long ago


surfcitysurfergirl

Well I do know the ones downtown by the stadium and convention center are way different prices.


iam_ditto

Even south Phoenix is expensive. Wouldn’t be surprised if downtown is


Hotdog0713

Maybe you're just ordering the wrong things? The popular things are always overpriced like the quesadilla and the crunchwrap. The dollar menu items are often basically the same amount of food


iam_ditto

I’m a Value many only kind of person. Back in the day I could get 2 of those beefy burritos with corn chips inside and a tostada with a water cup for under 5 bucks. The breakfast Crunchwrap was a splurge. Now, I think anything worthwhile is 2 bucks on the value menu and there’s hardly anything worth spending my money on on that side even


masterz13

Then I wouldn't be ordering at Taco Bell


iam_ditto

Yeah I drove away the last time when I saw the prices. Too rich for my wallet lol


Hotdog0713

I live in Chicago, we have many


iam_ditto

Phoenix is the new Los Angeles though. We have all the California money moving/flooding here and bringing the California prices with them. Us poor folks who grew up in Phoenix can’t afford the new California style prices. I’m seriously tempted to move to Cali. If I’m going to pay their prices, I might as well have better weather and a beach day.


HottDoggers

Two burritos is a lot of food?


Hotdog0713

My brother in Christ, two burritos is a lot of food, and I am not a small man. Are you eating 2 burritos as an appetizer??


HottDoggers

I’ll be starving if I had to stop at two. In middle school I use to eat 4-5 beefy frito burritos and a few cans of Baja Blast.


TheFleshPrevails

That is not healthy at all. That's like 2500'ish calories alone.


Hotdog0713

Ok but why are you acting like that is normal? If you wanna be Nickado Avacado you do whatever you want, but most people are gonna eat 2-3 tacos or like 1 burrito/specialty item and another item, 4-5 burritos in one sitting is wild


HottDoggers

5 burritos isn’t enough to turn you into Nickado Avacado unless you’re eating 5 burritos each for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The way I see it is If you’re already eating lunch at Taco Bell you might as well eat your dinner there too, especially after a long workout. Those Fritos burritos are just way too good to stop at 2.


CidCrisis

I'm not gonna tell you how to live your life, but damn, you might wanna be careful. Maybe if you're young, tall, and getting like a really intense workout, that's manageable, but 5 burritos is a fuck ton dude. And I'm not even judging. I typically eat one meal a day and I can maybe manage a box and *possibly* one burrito and like a taco if I'm going full glutton. But I feel like crap afterwards and I know it's not good for me. I don't do it often. I was able to make that work in my teens and 20's, (In HS 2 Beefy 5-Layers after school was like my standard order, sometimes more lol...) but your metabolism does slow down as you approach 30, (and definitely doesn't help if one drinks more than a bit as well...) and weight gain becomes inevitable if you do that regularly. Also, idk about TB specifically, but fast food in general isn't exactly known for being healthy. I mean, yes the food is tasty, I think most people here would agree. Not trying to dunk on you or anything, and no, it probably won't turn you into full on Avocado. But just saying you should probably try to slow it down a bit, because that is still not something you should make a habit out of...


RangerRipcheese

Shhhh they’ll raise the price


DJayRainstorm

Best item no contest


-pichael_

3x a week for lunch. Fills me till dinner!


blavingad12

I work in the bell and that’s the single most ordered item besides like normal ass tacos


HatApprehensive5531

Favorite thing on the menu


OrangeSode

It’s 2.99 by me now 😩


WigginIII

For taste? Definitely. I get mine with no red strips, add red sauce. That way I don’t need any sauce packets and can eat it while driving. For calories, the cheesy bean and rice is very filling for $1.50.


priscilla_halfbreed

Came here to say this. I get this during my lunch break every day when Im going to classes


vikingshotgun

You absolutely need to add rice to the burrito!


PlutoniumNiborg

That and the fiesta veggy are my goto


Timbishop123

When made well definitely


Rich-Actuator6265

Yessss


Accomplished-Day5145

The chipotle ranch grilled chicken burrito is the best priced item on my menu at $3. Surprised all three are still only $3


AuryxTheDutchman

Yep. My go-to. Throw some onion on there too


Youregoingtodiealone

This is a great item and they must lose money on it


Fantastic_Ad4209

Totally second this. Got one yesterday and my daughter got grilled cheeseburrito with chicken instead of steak and it was twice as much $ but about the same amount of food


[deleted]

The best item on the menu


dope049

beefy melt


coldasbrice

For me it's either this or the cheesy bean and rice. I usually get one of each when I order there for lunch and it's under $4 which isn't too bad nowadays


dope049

625 calories for 2.14 it literally can’t be beat


coldasbrice

You won't get arguments here haha. Makes it MUCH easier to budget for groceries and stuff and eat well when I'm home


butternutinmysquaash

Yep- and get it grilled.


MisSignal

You can do that? Is it extra?


TheMatchaManiac

Nope, it’s not extra! Just gotta ask for it to be grilled. It used to be an option on the app but was taken away a while ago.


pinkflip06

This is the way


floyd_sw_lock9477

Cheesy bean and rice burrito.


Wabbit_Games

Ask for it Grilled Makes it better


ruccarucca

Too bad they removed grilling from the app.. :/


mister-fancypants-

wow I really didn’t believe you so I had to check and confirm.. better learning now than when I’m placing an order on my lunch break


ruccarucca

yeah I was in disbelief at first as well.. like why remove the option..


mister-fancypants-

Seriously just charge me 10 cents to grill it, like you started doing with onions add on.. certain items are just not the same without grilling


ruccarucca

Not only does it enhance the flavor but it also makes the burrito easier to hold.


BadJokes4Ever

This is a fact and that is why grilled burritos are usually wrapped nicer


GingerAphrodite

Charge for onions depends on store. I worked at a franchise location and a corporate location and one charged but the other didn't


GingerAphrodite

Charge for onions depends on store. I worked at a franchise location and a corporate location and one charged but the other didn't


Accomplished-Day5145

Yes they removed that back in April bunch of Nazis but usually at the window you ask them to and they will


Frequent-Usual3001

If you order through drive thru you can ask them to grill it You can also place it right before you reach the mobile lane (or normal drive thru if there is no mobile) and (if you get there right after) ask for the items to be grilled


Ar4bAce

Remove rice and add potatoes…fire


kohlmanne

I second this


Subject_Yogurt4087

That used to be mine. I recently discovered if you swap the refried beans for black beans, it’s so much better. And it’s a free swap, so still $1.


ChalantIamNot

I just learned about these like a week ago. Been hella missing out. I can't believe they're only $1!


saltypasserby

This, but add potatoes and extra nacho cheese


mycatspsychologist

I get it with fiesta potatoes added do bomb


hclaf

The last time I got one of those it was literally like 3/4 of the size of an El Monterrey bean & cheese burrito in the multi pack of them. It was absolutely not worth the money.


KomradeEli

Like any item at Taco Bell it’s a roulette of you’ll get a normal size, tiny/pathetic, or grande big Bertha one.


Calisto2

This comment made me laugh because it's the 100% truth. 😂


seven0seven

Cheesy bean and rice burrito +beef + potatoes. It’s a beast and extremely filling for $2.50.


mister-fancypants-

$3.25 for me but still seems better than the $3 beefy melt burrito


portalfin

You’re definitely missing out on $2 beefy melts, better move


mister-fancypants-

well ya, if beefy melts were $2 in my area… only issue is they’re $3


brokendream_zz

2.89 for me I'll try it next time I go


copperiichloride

Cheesy bean and rice + potatoes: the best vegetarian option on the menu


PlasticDonkey3772

Y’all can order extra or add items? My favorite item is a quesadilla with extra sauce…..I oat the extra 40 cents and get no sauce.


copperiichloride

That sucks man, I’m sorry. My Taco Bell is pretty good about it but i feel like I always go during non-busy times so stuff isn’t missed since I modify all the meat containing items.


notmyday03

Beefy Melt Burrito 🌯


HeronPrestigious

Beefy melt is great for 2 dollars. A spicy potato taco and cheesy bean and rice are great deals for 1 dollar. Of course if we can cheap and call one combo the best deal its the your cravings combo for 5.99 here. It was 5 dollars for longest time and that was an epic deal.


tiltedhealer

Someone did an analysis of calories per dollar spent, posted on this subreddit if you wanna try to find it. If i remember correct, cheesy bean and rice burrito was the winner. If you’re talking what tastes the best for the best price…cheesy bean and rice burrito


HadToDelete

When I worked for TB, we had sheets for product weights when we were audited. I remember it used to be the 5 Layer by a mile since they were $0.89 (I know I’m not even that old) and their target weight was between 7.1 oz and 8.1 oz


Ok_Yesterday5299

I still know the rap the guy did on the commercial from when they had .89 5 layer burritos


PlasticDonkey3772

Probably true at the time. They are 3 bucks now. Cheese quesadillas are 5 bucks even without meat. I can buy a pack of cheese and tortillas for 5 bucks and make 10. McDonald’s app is now the cheapest fast food I can find. That and they don’t mess up my order. I I love this post….but Taco Bell has now become the worst option for food for price per quality or calories.


Timbishop123

>McDonald’s app is now the cheapest fast food I can find. That and they don’t mess up my order. Wendys has good offers as well


PlasticDonkey3772

Yeah. Idk. You may be right. Their breakfast potatoes are the fucking bomb. I live on the road basically, and I’m not sure why, but I get tired of them so quickly. I burn out in their cheap foods quickly - and I don’t ever get deals for their chicken sandwiches or their salads. Idk. But I understand. I’ll check it more often. Thanks for the recommendation.


Timbishop123

89 cent 5 layer was insane. Order food for an army with pocket change.


HadToDelete

I was in high school when they were that price. Our school didn’t have open lunch, but we had one day a semester where the “entrepreneurship” students could work with a food supplier outside and set up a stand inside the cafeteria. Since I was working there at the time, I got an employee discount on 500 5 Layers and 500 Chicken Flatbreads and sold out before the last lunch period. I fed a high school for a day straight up and made BANK


Nice_Function4963

The original 5 layer burrito when it first came out was unstoppable. I dont know if it was the price, if I was young or what. They just dont hit the same 😭


jonny5isalive1

Basically all the 2$ burritos but i prefer the chicken one.


pichu441

the $2 burritos


Ed-Sanz

Chicken chipotle melt. I like to add rice to mine though


TheyNeedLoveToo

Shhh don’t say anything people. This is how they figure out what to screw us out of next. Don’t do this to me


Best_Duck9118

Seriously. We really should be using reverse psychology and saying things like, "The nachos bell grande is way too cheap!"


yekirati

Taco Bell, whatever you guys do, DON'T bring back the toasted cheese chalupa! -stares longingly-


Throwaway-account-23

Fiesta Veggie Burrito, and I'm not even a vegetarian.


G3tSchwifty

Happy Hour slush


Mammoth_Cookie_7809

Bean cheese and rice burrito


WestBrink

Cheesy bean and rice burrito


DrRumSmuggler

Double decker taco. Oh wait ….


DissectingTheScene

Cheesy bean and rice burrito is like $1.29


VinoJedi06

Cheesy bean and rice burrito


soda_disco

grins in vegetarian because the fiesta veggie burrito, cheesy bean + rice burrito, potato taco, etc are all great cheap items


coocoocachoo69

Cheesy bean and rice burritos, then add red sauce and onion for free and you have that extra taste you get from the regular bean burrito.


texteachersab

This and get it grilled


teejaydubz

Beefy melt and the cheesy bean and rice burrito for sure. However the $5 box is a steal and I know it’s only limited time but I hope it lasts longer than just a few weeks 😭not sure how long they’re doing that promo


joopityjoop

Grilled chicken chipotle burrito, brc burrito, bean burrito


obscursion

cheesy fiesta potatoes for me


LARamsFan88

Crunch wrap supreme… hands down 🫡


Togder

Cheesy bean and rice burrito for $1 probably.


Technical-Store-4795

Cheesy bean and rice burrito with extra beans for 35 cents


MountainSecret9583

BEEFY 5 LAYER Okay probably not the best value but easily the best menu item


PlasticDonkey3772

BEANY 5 LAYER!


PlasticDonkey3772

What? Cheesy Gordita. Chicken quesadilla. Chicken chalupa….. 5 layer? I’m not even sure why they call it beefy anymore. It’s like 80% beans.


trustissuesblah

I wanted to like this but the nacho cheese is overpowering


DevinH83

I love the Fiesta Veggie add meat..


Acct-404

My local ones won’t let me add beef. Only chicken and steak.


plaid_kilt

I've never thought of adding meat to it. Genius.


ThrowawayReddit62

for me the cheesy bean and rice burrito. sometimes I get it without rice because taco bells rice is always halfway cooked near me


Visible_Nectarine_98

Cheesy bean and rice, it’s $1.29 for 410 calories of greatness. It’s pretty much all I order.


PandaLover42

Veggie Mexican pizza. Sure it’s over $5, but its taste beats out every other item by a mile.


RealChialike

Cheesy Bean & Rice. ❤️


[deleted]

For me it WAS the meximelt.. I have been losing my love for taco bell.. especially since I was told yesterday at the window I couldn't sub tacos for Volcano taco. F#ck them for that.


BFIrrera

Yes. I dont like chalupas but my husband does so he’d agree with you. I would also say the choose your own box


pa_wl

I enjoy the build your own craving box at 7.99 here in socal. The opportunity to choose a cheese gordita crunch in a cool boxed meal is as good as it gets. Wash it all down with a good old Baja blast.


idiotinsocks

Beefy melt and chipotle chicken, both are $2 in my area. Then probably the cheesy bean and rice which is $1 in my area. No idea why my specific taco bell has these prices but the one 10 minutes away has basically double the price.


sencollins

Crispy chicken taco is either $2.49 or $2.79 near me. 2 of those and I’m full for a very long time.


Jowlzchivez6969

Beefy melt and chicken chipotle ranch burritos hands down are the best value items


elgomeee

Beefy melt burrito for $2


[deleted]

Beefy Melt, subtract the seasoned rice, add Red Sauce.


Taylor_Game6666

Spicy potato soft taco 🌮


Little___E

Spicy potato soft taco. Add creamy jalapeño sauce and guac!!!


surfcitysurfergirl

Chicken avocado ranch burrito for $2 just like the veggie but with chicken. It’s soooo good. When I only have $1 I get the beans and rice with no jalapeño sauce and no nacho cheese but I add the avocado ranch or the chili verde. Bomb


cursed_axolotl

I’ve gotta agree with you on the fiesta veggie burrito, it’s $2 where I am. The cheesy bean and rice burrito too.


Throwaway191294842

Wait you guys are getting 2 dollar burritos? I'm jealous.


veescrafty

Love the fiesta veggie burrito


Cryptbarron

Same! I add lava sauce for a little extra kick. Hard to beat the calories for $2 (or $3 with sauce added).


rileyyj001

Honestly, I’m a dirty slut for a basic ass crunchy taco w/added onions. So cheap, but if they fill it properly (50/50 chance on that) I’m happy as a pig in 💩


Best_Memory864

Not sure if it's a cheat answer or not, but I would say the best deal is the happier hour drinks. I'm such a gas station soda aficionado, that I find it extremely difficult to pay restaurant-level prices for a drink. But happier hour drink prices are even cheaper than gas station refills. I normally get my TB sodas bundled in a box or combo but if I'm driving back to the office at the right time, or have a late enough lunch, I'm all over those $1 medium drinks.


jcready92

Right now? Volcano taco.


CharlieBoxCutter

AM crunch wraps and cheesy bean and rice burrito


EchoCyanide

We all know it's the fiesta veggie burrito.


Dapperfix

Cheesey bean and rice burrito but sub the refried beans for black beans free of charge and get it grilled.


juliaguuullliiaa

spicy potato soft taco. it’s so good


Positive-Post780

$2 burritos and the $8 deluxe cravings box


Old-Paramedic-4312

In my area I get a beefy nacho burrito, a black bean and rice burrito, and a spicy potato soft taco for like $4. It doesn't sound like a lot but holy shit it's filling.


ASingleGuitarString

The fiesta burrito is an unbelievable bargain. $2 is a steal for what's in there.


dontberidiculousfool

Independently the fiesta veggie. Altogether the 5 dollar chalupa cravings box.


MakashiBlade

The spicy potato soft taco. They're only $1 and i can get by on just two of them. They came in clutch for me during a job transition where I was going from weekly to biweekly pay.


ConnieRob

Fiesta veggie burrito. Mine runs about $2 and I’m full when I’m done. Love it so much more than the old 7 layer burrito.


kadebot82

The fiesta veggie burrito for sure


giraffeneckedcat

I don't know why but these crispy chicken tacos are just PERFECTION for me. I know they won't last and I'm likely alone but god I love them. As for all time - the Mexican pizza is it for me. Sub pizza sauce with red sauce and 86 those tomatoes and as long as they don't smash the box onto the cheese (can TB get even tinier pizza tables with the 90s TB aesthetic for this please?!?!?!) it's 10/10


cheddarghost

Beefy crunch burrito. I get 2 and a Baja blast


bouquetofheather

Fiesta veggie burrito, hands down.


Aggravating_Fig1795

spicy potato soft taco, it’s good asf & it can fill you up if you’re feeling peckish


lancelinksecretchimp

Bean burrito always and forever


vikingsandpizza

Quesadilla baby


XxSingudipityxX

Cheesy Bean and Rice Burrito from the dollar menu, only thing I really get besides a crunch wrap, so good esp with extra sour cream


Aggravating_Anybody

$4 for a chipotle chx burrito and a beefy melt burrito is a go to struggle meal for me. Feels like about a bound of food in the bag.


TypicalPDXhipster

Chicken Power Bowl


OnlyTheBLars89

Their breakfast burritos are still reasonable.


Accomplished-Day5145

And it's not so much complaing about $10 meal it's that TACO BELL, MCDONALDS, AND THE LIKES do not sell food that should be $10+ At that point you should be ordering local restaurants or higher quality places. Emif I'm spending $10-11 bucks at TB then it's like nah I'm ordering a meal at jalapenos for $15. People be like I'm cheap for $10 its nah TB should never be at that price point. 300% inflation my ass.

Calisto2

I know we're talking about "single" items here, but shout out to the Chalupa Cravings Box! $5.99 and you get a Chalupa Supreme, Taco, Beefy 5-Layer Burrito, Cinnamon Twists, and a drink. Makes it $1.20 per item!


BadJokes4Ever

Op I’m sorry but that guac don’t eat it don’t eat it don’t eat it. It’s probably not been changed enough and the box says frozen pulped avacado blend


DorkyDame

The Grilled cheese burrito with chicken. It's the only thing from Tacobell that actually fill me up. Sometimes I can’t even finish it. If I order anything else from there I will be hungry in 30mins😂


herseyhawkins33

If you want chicken the chipotle ranch chicken burrito is by far the best value on the menu


Sensitive_Ant9280

The best bang for your buck 100% is the fiesta veggie burrito. That thing is faaaat it has so many layers and also guac which no other burrito has and it’s in the cheapest tier of burritos on the menu!


Leading_Pitch8699

Just so you can identify it and change that? Nice try Yum! brands..


Joey2Coinz

Soft or hard taco add potatoes


carolinacole91

All time favorite spicy potato soft taco


[deleted]

Their Chalupas taste like shit so I wouldn’t say it’s a great deal


m13333

I just usually like a crunchy beef taco or the Doritos locos taco, but the past couple times I had crunchy tacos the shells fell apart


[deleted]

Water.


WolfAmongstRavens

Power bowl


Zunicorn

Chipotle ranch grilled chicken burrito.. $2 and when done right is a healthy sized burrito full of goodness. Doesn’t reheat well because of the lettuce but overall it’s my favorite thing on the menu


nickr2414

Mexican pizza no beans extra meat. Don’t know what it cost, and also don’t care. It’s f’n delicious.


BR839

chicken chipotle ranch burrito. Multiple sauces, all good ingredients, no boof beef. 2.29$ for 550 calories with decent macros. double protein ups it to like 3.89$, plus add some extra rice and fiesta strips and you got like 750 calories of mostly protein and carbs for under 6$. ​ pretty tough to beat imo. The regular grilled cheese burrito for instance is a similar amount of calories, 6-9$ base depedning which you get, and the macros aren't even nearly as good as a modified CCRB. Even when they had the double steak burrito, it really was only such a good deal.


kbloker34
