Meals it comes in
By state
The median at the restaurants read in each state. Pick a state at the top of the board and every price on this site prints that state's figure.
What Taco Bell says it is
On its product page Taco Bell describes it as “A crunchy taco shell filled with seasoned beef, lettuce, and shredded cheddar cheese.”
The two calorie figures
The ordering menu and the nutrition record agree on Crunchy Taco: 170 calories. The unrounded figure behind the record is 166.1, which the nutrition menu rounds to 170 the way a menu board rounds, to the nearest 10 above 50 calories.
Where it was listed
Crunchy Taco: listed at all 452 restaurants read, in 50 states and DC, read 19 September 2026. That makes it a core item: on nine in ten of the restaurant menus read or more.
The cheapest state median on the read date was Minnesota at $1.69, the dearest Connecticut at $2.99. A state median stands on ten restaurants at most, so a single expensive or cheap restaurant moves it; the national range is the safer figure. Pick a state on the board or on the prices by state page and the ticket on every page prices its lines at that state’s medians beside the national range.
What the price buys
By median price Crunchy Taco ranks 2nd of 16 in Tacos. The section median is $3.39, so it is $1.40 below it. At the median price it costs $1.17 per 100 calories and $2.84 per 10 g of protein.
The record against a day
170 calories is 8 percent of a 2,000 calorie day and 13 percent of the 2,300 mg sodium limit the FDA uses for the daily value. Saturated fat is 4 g, 20 percent of the 20 g daily value. Protein runs 7 g, 4.1 g per 100 calories.
For sodium it sits below the Tacos median of 520 mg.
The daily values are the guide’s own yardstick: “The Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend limiting saturated fat to 20 grams and sodium to 2,300 milligrams for a typical adult eating 2,000 calories daily.”
Allergens and certification
The brand’s own tool lists Crunchy Taco as free of eggs, fish, gluten, MSG, peanuts, sesame, shellfish, tree nuts and wheat. The label warns of milk and soy. The tool’s own caution: “While a particular ingredient may not contain one of these allergens, our products may be prepared on the same equipment and in the same kitchen area as those that do.” Gluten is the special case: “Taco Bell does not claim “gluten-free” for any ingredients or menu items.” A free mark for gluten here is the tool’s word about ingredients, never a claim by this site. Soy is listed on the label; the guide adds that “Soybean oil is not indicated as an allergen.”
Seasoned Beef stops it being vegetarian as served: Seasoned Beef carries no vegetarian tag in the statement, while Iceberg Lettuce, Taco Shell and Cheddar Cheese are tagged.
Ways to change it
The product page offers it Fresco style at minus 25 calories against the standard build; the brand’s definition: “Fresco-Style replaces any mayo based sauces, reduced-fat sour cream, nacho cheese sauce, and shredded cheeses with diced tomatoes. It typically results in a reduction in calories and fat.” Protein swaps, with the calories the product page prints for each: Beans (60 calories, no charge), Black Beans (50 calories, no charge), Chicken (45 calories, $0.80 to $1.00 at the five restaurants read for the option), Potatoes (100 calories, no charge), Seasoned Beef (70 calories, no charge), Slow-Roasted Chicken (60 calories, $1.00 to $1.20 at the five restaurants read for the option) and Steak (60 calories, $1.00 to $1.20 at the five restaurants read for the option). Sauces: Avocado Ranch Sauce (30 calories, $0.40 to $0.70), Chipotle Sauce (25 calories, $0.30 to $0.70), Creamy Jalapeño Sauce (25 calories, $0.50 to $0.75), Green Sauce (no calories, $0.25), Guacamole (35 calories, $0.60 to $1.15), Mexican Pizza Sauce (10 calories, $0.00 to $0.30), Nacho Cheese Sauce (30 calories, $0.75 to $1.00) and Pepper Jack Sauce (no calories, $0.30). 15 add-ons are offered; the heaviest are Potatoes at 100 calories, Fiesta Strips at 80 calories, Beans at 60 calories and Slow-Roasted Chicken at 60 calories. The removable components and what each carries: Cheese (25 calories) and Lettuce (no calories).
The option calories are the ordering menu’s own figures for the option, printed as it prints them; a swapped build is not a nutrition record, so the panel on this page stays the item as published. Option prices were read at five of the restaurants and are printed with that count, never as a national figure.
The product page suggests builds of its own: “Crunchy Taco with Reduced-Fat Sour Cream and Pico De Gallo, no Lettuce.” and “Crunchy Taco with Tomatoes, extra Seasoned Beef, no Cheese.”.
