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
In the brand’s words: “A warm flour tortilla filled with seasoned beef, lettuce, and shredded cheddar cheese.”
The two calorie figures
180 calories is the figure on both the listing and the nutrition record for Soft Taco. The unrounded figure behind the record is 183.1, which the nutrition menu rounds to 180 the way a menu board rounds, to the nearest 10 above 50 calories.
Two records are published for it, Beef at 180 and Chicken at 160, and the ticket on this page prints whichever the picker has chosen.
Where it was listed
On 19 September 2026, Soft Taco was listed at all 452 restaurants read, in 50 states and DC. That makes it a core item: on nine in ten of the restaurant menus read or more.
Minnesota had the lowest state median, $1.69; Connecticut the highest, $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
Among the 16 priced tacos on the board, Soft Taco is the 3rd cheapest by median price. The section median is $3.39, so it is $1.40 below it. At the median price it costs $1.11 per 100 calories and $2.21 per 10 g of protein.
The record against a day
180 calories is 9 percent of a 2,000 calorie day and 22 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 9 g, 5 g per 100 calories.
The Tacos median for sodium is 520 mg; this one is 500.
Allergens and certification
Taco Bell’s allergen tool marks Soft Taco free of eggs, fish, MSG, peanuts, sesame, shellfish and tree nuts. The label warns of gluten, milk, soy and wheat. 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.” 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 Flour Tortilla, Iceberg Lettuce 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: “Soft Taco with Reduced-Fat Sour Cream, Pico De Gallo, no Lettuce” and “Soft Taco swap Slow-Roasted Chicken, add Onions and Guacamole.”.
