Taco Bell has always been the go-to spot for cheap, delicious eats. Whether you’re craving tacos, burritos, or nachos, you can fill up without emptying your wallet.
If you’re looking for the best bang for your buck, here are the 10 best Taco Bell items you can get for under $5. Keep in mind that availability and pricing may vary!
1. Beefy 5-Layer Burrito
This burrito is pure comfort food. Packed with seasoned beef, refried beans, nacho cheese, sour cream, and shredded cheese, it’s a steal for the price. Plus, it’s super filling and only $3.99.
2. Cheesy Gordita Crunch
A crispy taco wrapped in a warm, pillowy flatbread with melted cheese in between? Yes, please. This fan-favorite is loaded with seasoned beef, lettuce, and Taco Bell’s signature spicy ranch sauce. At $5.19 it’s barely making our list, but we love it too much to skip.
3. Black Bean Grilled Cheese Burrito
At $4.99, this is the perfect fit. Black beans, nacho cheese sauce, seasoned rice, chipotle sauce, sour cream and a three-cheese blend both inside AND on top of the flour tortilla. Mmm mm, need we say more?
4. Spicy Potato Soft Taco
Crispy, seasoned potatoes replace meat in this budget-friendly taco. Topped with lettuce, shredded cheese, and a creamy chipotle sauce, it’s a must-try—even if you’re not vegetarian. For $1.29, they’re a cheap steal.
5. Nachos BellGrande (with a customization trick!)
Normally, the Nachos BellGrande is over $5, but here’s a hack: Order the Loaded Beef Nachos ($2.99) and add tomatoes. You’ll get a nearly identical version for less!
6. Crunchwrap Supreme (on the $5 Box deal)
By itself, the Crunchwrap Supreme is slightly over $5, but if it’s available, grab a $5 Box deal. You get a Crunchwrap, a taco, and a drink for just five bucks. A total steal.
7. Double Stacked Taco
A hidden gem, this taco combines the best of both worlds: a crunchy shell wrapped in a soft tortilla, held together with melty cheese. It’s loaded with beef, lettuce, and a zesty sauce. For $1.99, get two and stay under $5!
8. Cheese Quesadilla
Simple but delicious, the cheese quesadilla is a warm, gooey classic. At $4.99, we don’t think it’s the best value in this list (we’re looking at you, Black Bean Grilled Cheese Burrito), but it is essential comfort food sometimes. And the price makes it an easy go-to.
9. Cinnamon Twists
A light, crispy snack with a sweet cinnamon-sugar coating, these are perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth without breaking the bank. At $1.49, you can tack it on to a few items from this list and keep your total under $5.
