About the Crunchy Taco at Taco Bell
The Crunchy Taco has been part of the Taco Bell experience for years, and it holds its spot on the menu for good reason. At $1.99, it sits in a competitive price range for the tacos category — not quite a budget pick, but far from the most expensive thing you can order.
When it comes to calories, 170 puts the Crunchy Taco in the lighter end of the Taco Bell menu. That's worth keeping in mind if you're building a multi-item order — especially since it's easy to stack up calories quickly with combos and sides.
One thing to flag: like most fast food, the sodium count here is worth watching at 310mg per serving. The FDA recommends staying under 2,300mg daily, so this item accounts for roughly 13% of that.
