Doritos Locos Tacos
Doritos Locos Tacos use a shell made from Nacho Cheese Doritos and cost $2.99 regular or $3.99 Supreme at the typical restaurant ($2.89 – $3.99 for the regular one). Three with a drink are the 3 Doritos Locos Tacos Combo ($11.29), and a dozen come in the Doritos Locos Tacos Party Pack ($27.99). The Doritos shell also lists MSG in Taco Bell's allergen information.
Cheesy Gordita Crunch
The Cheesy Gordita Crunch wraps a crunchy beef taco in a soft flatbread lined with melted cheese and adds spicy ranch. At $5.94 it costs about three Crunchy Tacos, with 20 g of protein against 21 g in three tacos. The Doritos version is $6.29. Price by city and nutrition: Cheesy Gordita Crunch price.
Chicken and potato tacos
The Cantina Chicken tacos use slow-roasted chicken and cost $3.49 soft or $3.44 crispy — more than beef, but with 12–15 g of protein. The Spicy Potato Soft Taco is the cheapest on this menu and one of the vegetarian options: potato bites, chipotle sauce, lettuce and cheese for $1.49. It is also on the Taco Bell value menu.
Taco combos and party packs
The Taco Party Pack with 12 tacos costs $22.99, or $1.92 a taco. Bought one by one, 12 Crunchy Tacos would cost $23.88, so the pack saves $0.89. For one person, the 3 Crunchy Tacos Combo ($8.99) adds a fountain drink to three Crunchy Tacos.
Taco combos and party packs
| Menu item | In restaurant | Restaurant range |

| 3 Crunchy Tacos Combo | $8.99 | $7.69 – $10.99 |

Cheapest tacos and best value
By protein per dollar the best picks are the Soft Taco (beef) (4.5 g per $1), Cantina Chicken Crispy Taco (4.4 g per $1), Crunchy Taco (3.5 g per $1). Two Crunchy Tacos ($3.98) cost far less than one Crunchwrap Supreme ($6.94), so for a small appetite the classics are the better buy.
