Does Taco Bell Still Have the $5 Box? (2026)

Yes — Taco Bell still has the $5 box. The Classic Luxe Box is $5 at participating locations in 2026, and it is still the cheapest complete meal on the menu: a burrito, a taco, Cinnamon Twists and a medium drink for a flat five dollars. Delivery apps list it higher — $6.10 to $8.54 on DoorDash, depending on the store — because delivery prices are inflated, not because the $5 price is gone. What has changed is everything around it: the $7 and $9 boxes have rotated their contents, and a new $11 box sits on top of the ladder. This page is the whole ladder, with what each box contains and what it adds up to.

The $5 box: what is in it

The standard US build of the Classic Luxe Box is a Beefy 5-Layer Burrito, a Crunchy Taco, Cinnamon Twists and a medium fountain drink. Bought separately at sampled prices, the three food items are $4.19 + $2.09 + $1.69 = $7.97; with a medium drink — a medium Baja Blast is $2.79 in October 2026 menu listings, the closest published medium-drink price — the four come to about $10.76 — so the $5 box saves about $5.76 against buying the same four items separately. On calories, the three food items total 490 + 170 + 170 = 830 calories; with a medium soda (about 150–200 calories) the box lands at roughly 980–1,030 calories, which matches the 820–1,100 calorie range the dataset carries for the box. One caveat: the contents vary by location. Canadian listings show a bean-burrito and chips-and-cheese version of the same $5 box, and US stores rotate the burrito — so check the box contents in the app before you assume the build above.

The $7 box and the $9 box

The $7 Luxe Cravings Box is the middle tier: a Chalupa Supreme, a Beefy 5-Layer Burrito, a Double Stacked Taco, Chips and Nacho Cheese Sauce and a medium drink. From the item panels, the food alone is 350 + 490 + 320 + 220 = 1,380 calories, and FinanceBuzz priced the separate items at $15.45 — so the $7 box saves $8.45. An updated build (Brand Eating, October 2024) swaps in a Chicken Chalupa Supreme and a Doritos Locos Tacos for the Chalupa Supreme and Double Stacked Taco. The $9 Discovery Luxe Box is the rotating tier: its contents change with the promotions calendar. The current build, found in this run's October 28 checks, is a Triple Double Crunchwrap, a Nacho Cheese Doritos Locos Taco, a Cheesy Bean and Rice Burrito, Cinnamon Twists and a medium drink — 640 + 170 + 420 + 170 = 1,400 calories of food, about $15.55 bought separately at sampled prices, so the $9 box saves about $6.55. Earlier builds in the rotation included the Double Dipping Burritos and the Chicken Bacon Ranch Street Chalupas, so the $9 box is the one to check before ordering: the price is fixed, the contents are not.

The $11 box on top: Ultimate Luxe Box

Above the $9 box sits the Ultimate Luxe Box, the newest tier: a Steak Grilled Cheese Burrito, a Crunchy Taco, a Nacho Cheese Doritos Locos Taco, Chips and Nacho Cheese Sauce and a medium fountain drink. It is sampled at $11.16 on DoorDash ($10.98–$13.42 across the five stores checked in this run), and it has its own item page. No nutrition panel is published for the box as a whole, so no calorie total is printed for it — the component panels are on the item pages. The ladder, in short: $5 Classic, $7 Luxe Cravings, $9 Discovery (rotating), $11 Ultimate. The $5 box is still sold, still five dollars in-store, and still the best value on the ladder by the maths above.

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.
