Taco Bell Menu Under $5: Every Item, Ranked

165 things on the Taco Bell menu cost $5 or less — and the cheapest of them costs nothing at all. The free sauce packets (Mild, Hot, Fire, Diablo and Breakfast Salsa) are $0.00, the Duo Habanero Sauce is $0.20, and the most expensive thing under five dollars is the $5.00 Classic Luxe Box itself, which is a whole meal. This page is the full list: every current item at $5.00 or less by sampled price, ranked cheapest first, with calories where a panel exists. Archived and discontinued items are excluded — everything below can, in principle, be ordered today — and size variants are listed separately, so a freeze in 16 oz and 20 oz is two lines. Prices are sampled medians from October 2026 menu listings; Taco Bell publishes no national price list, so your store may charge more or less.

The cheapest five

The under-$5 list is dominated by drinks (68 items — mostly the same drink in two or three sizes) and sides & sweets (43 items), with 19 breakfast items, 10 tacos, 10 burritos and 8 specialties. The Luxe Value Menu is the cheapest way into the list on purpose — ten items under $3 — but the full set goes wider: the Melty and Fresca Pepper Jack Steak Burritos at $3.00, the Creamy Chipotle and Jalapeño Honey Mustard Crunchwrap Sliders at $3.65, the Chicken Bacon Ranch Nacho Fries at $4.99 and the Confetti Cookie Freeze at $3.89 are all new in this run's build and all under $5. For the value ranking rather than the price list, see the value menu page and the calories-per-dollar index — this page is the complete inventory, and the ranking is what to do with it.

About this guide's data

Every figure in this guide comes from one dataset: sampled Taco Bell prices and published nutrition, compiled and verified in October 2026 (prices are re-checked monthly, and every data page carries its verification stamp). Rankings state their rule in the open and are computed from those rows — never voted on, never estimated. Where a value is missing it is shown as missing, and each named item links to its own page, where the full label, allergen record and sampled price range can be checked. Prices vary by location; nutrition values are the published figures for the standard build.
