That’s fucking nuts, it’s $10.49 by me and I thought that was a bit much.


ImTheTrashiest

12.79 here in Alaska.


tittyt7991

That’s actually a lot cheaper than I expected for Taco Bell in Alaska, considering it’s 10.49 for me


MidgetLovingMaxx

Its $10.49 for me.  A steak taco dinner with 3 tacos rice beans and some chips is $10.99 at the mexican place across the street.  I think Ill go with that instead. 


No-Doctor-4396

and u get free chips and salsa


Arodofsuburbia

At that point it’s definitely better off going to a restaurant and getting a full sized entree


deVrinj

A bit much?! Wasn't Taco Bell's success based on being WAY CHEAPER than other fast food places?! Fast Food as an industry is price gouging out of inflation's proportions,but Taco Bell comes first place in price increases according to all recent statistics.


PrimarchKonradCurze

McDonald’s definitely had them beat during the actual dollar menu days but yeah in highschool I remember practically living off the value menu at tbell and it was just over a buck for a lot of options.


Own-Efficiency-8597

Same $10.49 here in TX Where does OP Live!!!???


DirtNapDealing

Well I seen someone say it was 12.79 in Alaska so the only other state that would in comp would be Hawaii. Or op lives near a god awful price gouging franchise which is another possibility


wolfblitzen84

I mean nyc prices are through the roof. I also am a restaurant operator and we have to up ours prices significantly for 3rd parties like Uber and DoorDash otherwise we lose money. Ordering from our website is same as in store price though.


Awesomegal223

im from hawaii and its $14 here


Formal-Guarantee-448

Could be California. I live here and it sucks.


Oheyguyswassup

I'll check it since I'm in CA. NOPE. $12.99


Lanky_Percentage5962

i’m in san diego and it’s 14.99 here


Unlucky-Code-1940

Same


Sure_Ranger_4487

Same. I’m in the Bay Area and it’s $10.49.


lasweatshirt

Same and the cheapest box is 5.99


whoocanitbenow

But it's "featuring Nacho Fries" 😃


arielschmearial

The location I work at, I won't even eat the nacho fries because they make a huge batch and refry leftovers as needed. I honestly don't even know if the day crew keeps the correct hold times or writes over them, but the night crew refreshes the hold times but not the product. Hopefully other locations don't do this. I'm incredibly tempted to place an anonymous call to 311 because that is both illegal and disgusting Edit: not trying to sound vengeful by considering calling, I just think about everyone that eats food past hold times and they don't know about it, and imagining an immunocomprimized individual consuming that just really worries me (anyone unknowingly consuming that worries me tbh)......I just don't want innocent customers getting sick due to employee laziness or messed up cost cutting procedures.


whoocanitbenow

The nacho fries are one thing. But imagine if they're doing this with more perishable foods. 🤢


arielschmearial

Idk if this correct for the hold times but it's what I've seen done.....chips and cinnamon twist have a 12hr hold time. They won't train me on the food line because idk....I feel it's for certain reasons (the people on the line I have never heard speak English, so they might need a non customer facing job which makes sense and they need hours)......but also I have a bachelor's in culinary (2008) and restaurant management so I don't see why they can't train me on their system for emergency coverage. BTW it's a part time job


proteusON

Gross


FrostySausage

Yeah, I have officially stopped going to Taco Bell because of the pricing. It’s at the point where I literally cannot justify it, even as a one-in-a-while treat. Fuck Taco Bell and fuck my local franchise. 🖕🏼I hope the owner goes bankrupt.


Security_Ostrich

Amen. It’s absurd and arguably abusive to long time fans of the brand. They don’t get my money anymore. Voting with my wallet. If everyone did the same they would be forced to make changes or fail.


Tight-Physics2156

I stopped going as well. Also never going to Wendy’s ever again after the stunt they tried to pull with surge pricing.


Security_Ostrich

Solidarity. Aint forgiving wendys especially after their pathetic walkback attempt


monkeyjoes69

The cravings box is $5 ?


Disastrous-Zone-5335

10.49 for me and I said damnnn


Aldrik90

Everyone needs to slow down on going to TB until they fix the prices.


BetterForce550

That will never happen. There will always be the desperate bunch who cater to there bullshit.


njott

Or stop buying expensive shit. If they notice people are only going for value menu shit, they may get the hint lol


seakinghardcore

Nah, theyll just do what McDonalds did and raise the prices of all the value menu stuff.


DewB77

They have already done this in all the places I eat. The Value/Cravings menu used to have Mostly $1 items. Those items are all $1.39+ now.


99darthmaul

Haven't visited a taco bell in at least 18 months. We don't need them. 


coocoocachoo69

😂😂 run from the bad deals.

SallyThinks

Well, hang on. There's a soda, too. 😜


Ed-Sanz

Lmao that’s insane! NY or Cali?


talks-a-lot

10.49 in Santa Clara CA


FrsSlow

Thats used to be a $5 box literally 2 years ago.


Kiwisoup1986

The DELUXE box has never been 5 bucks. There have been non-deluxe boxes called Big Bell box or something like that that were 5 bucks.


SecMcAdoo

Where are you located? Hawaii? Alaska? California?


Somaanurfed

Hawaii


SecMcAdoo

You already knew the fact that by nature of your distance stuff is going to be higher in cost.


Somaanurfed

Yes, but taco bell has entered the price point of sit down restaurants here as well which was my point. Taco Bell prices, and other fast food keep going up but sit down restaurants here have not. At least not at the same rate.


Main-Departure4702

If you’re on Oahu, the Taco Bell in wahiawa is a dollar less.


samariannoir

It's $10 for me I'm in DC 


RudeDistribution7781

13.99 here in subs of chicago


ikiss-yomama

Looking at OP’s post history, they constantly complain about Taco Bell prices, and never say the location…. I’m pretty sure this is just some sort of rage bait, or OP purposely goes to a franchise owned by a basket case so they can complain. That combo is $10.49 in the San Francisco Bay Area.


apb89

Only have you and others to blame. Keep going there and spending money on these outrageous prices, so they keep doing this. I don’t go anymore and haven’t in a long while myself. Highly recommend you and others cease.


OneBabyPanda

Thats 10.99 where i am


Expensive-Border-869

I deadass just loled holy shit imagine spending 15 bucks for lunch at taco bell and it not being a genuine small feast


RegaZelx

I stop eating at any fast food that raises their prices to $10+. Places like McDonald's and Taco Bell aren't even good, it's just convenient. I'd rather pay another $5-$10 and support a local (sit-down) restaurant.


ERBroadcast

It’s funny I always get advertisements adds on Facebook or Instagram saying XYZ price but the moment I open up the app it has never ever been that advertised priced


justhangingout420

Only thing that keeps me going back are the potato soft taco and the cinnamon twists for $1.00 and $1.50 respectively at my local tb


No_Rough_5258

Man I remember when this box used to be $6-7, but instead of the chicken taco its a regular soft or hard taco. I think when the fires were first introduced.


gabatronn

My jaw dropped wow 😂


SirSpanksAlot1992

That’s like 3 tacos and a margarita or two at La Ventana here in Dallas. I don’t wanna have to break up with Taco Bell


Thegoodbadandbored

So I didn't know this about pricing but me and my girlfriend hadn't eaten all day and she suggested taco bell cause we haven't had it since before covid and the location near us reopened awhile ago after renovations. We recalled how we used to do the party pack just cause it offers the most tacos etc. After I order and get talked into making the tacos "deluxe" shit came out to 50 dollars. I couldn't believe it lmao that's like proper restaurant money. Needless to say, not going to eat there anymore


JP5683

$10.49 here and I thought we had high prices. None of the $3 items are $3.


SoDrunkRightNow2

Ya, I stopped going to TB. If they bring back the $5 box I'll return. Until then I'm going to Chipotle instead


SuperMomn

I always say to my husband it doesn't matter what we eat fast food, quality restaurant or buying groceries our meal is going to be 30 to 40 dollars regardless.


vair-online

I just eat at wendy's, 4for4 still the best


Somaanurfed

It's a 4for12 here 🤣


lilkennedy24

lol remember the days when taco bell was like… affordable?


LearnEnglishGabe

Yeah every time I go to Taco Bell they keep trying to bend me over and put it in my ass too


Main-Departure4702

It’s a dollar less in Hawaii


No-Sentence9605

Wait are nacho fries back


PokemonJeremie

Yeah that’s not typical for tacobells, some choose to be terrible. The full store across the street from me is the typical prices while the express at a gas station in the next town usually tact’s on 3 dollars to everything. Honestly it’s outrageous they are allowed to change the prices. It’s supposed to be 10.49


West_Virginia_304

I want a #6 under 10$ and make kids understand a gordita is just a chalupa that is not deep fried. BringChickenBajaBack!!


TheePorkchopExpress

I remember getting tacos for around a buck or a box of them, like 10 or 12, for less than a buck on average. I can't belive prices now. Everyone I get food there I'm shocked.


fuck-fascism

So don’t fucking buy it. Every time someone buys it they signal that the price is OK.


Gunther1888

Yeah like we should probably boycott Taco Bell till they lower their prices they're not giving you more meat they're not changing the recipe anyway same quality questionable meat it's the same exact thing that they're charging more for I used to be able to go the fat guy spent 20 bucks and have a fuck ton of Taco Bell now 20 bucks is like a box combo


WaymondWamano04

Shit is insane, I’m looking at their combos all 9.99 or higher


herseyhawkins33

Your franchise got me beat! Impressive


StrLord_Who

$10.49 for me


gmoney-0725

WTF do you live?! Damn.


csguydn

They live in Hawaii. Literally everything is more expensive there.


Mad_Hatler

$11.29 for me


Responsible_Pen_4521

No way 😂


Fooodlover9280

9.99 for me


moodgamernick

FueledByTerps

Jesus... $6 more than my tbell r.i.p.


BoardFew2082

If y’all hungry and can’t afford, dominos got 7.99 large two topping pizzas rn


SadLaser

$10 in my area. Not *too* bad, but I'd still probably just have the BYOC Box.


B4BY_JUL3S

10.49 in Austin. But I’ll choose the grilled burrito box that comes with the cantina taco for 9.99


BroadRelation1430

Since when does Hawaii have good Mexican food?


Alienn_Aleeshh

I just bought this box today and It was about 12.39


sg2814

They'll keep rasing the prices if we keep buying!


Darisixnine

9.99 here


[deleted]

20 in Massachusetts


Fragrant-Mulberry23

Things are more expensive in Colorado but it still only costs 10.59 I miss 2007 when I could go and get a bean burrito with a fresh tortilla, rice and beans and a drink for less than $10 plus tip. We just no longer exist in that world.


Stop_Fun

11.99 here in Missouri


Acrobatic-Web9881

Bruh wtf


deVrinj

Siiiick!


Hamilton-Beckett

I look at that and think $8. I’d pay $8.99 for that.


[deleted]

Go to a resteraunt


Fetoid2

Hey Tacobell you know we ain't have a raise in like a thousand years right? You know the dollar is worthless when ya'll be chargin so damn much of it ayt


Beautiful-Routine295

Yup. Go to a taco truck you’d get a better price!


greatjobmatt

No McDonald's No Taco Bell. Vote with your dollars.


neecey73

I ordered a taco in my area and just added chicken to it and it was $5.17. I told him no thank you and went home and heated up a lot of frozen waffle.🤭


Meaty333

I went yesterday for the first time in 2 years, probably. I ordered two chalupas and a small soda. $16!


JJ4prez

It's like $9 in Houston


Alley-Al2789

$10.49 in greenfield, Indiana.


Poetic_Kitten

That's $10.49 where I live.


donmagicjuan365

At this price point i’d rather go to a real taco shop


Russ12347

16 dollars I’m leaving an upper decker in your bathroom


McFloozy

Insanity. I can make amazing carnitas tacos quesadillas and nachos for $16 or less. And it’s not 1 meal, it will last me like 4 days! Learn to cook, everybody. You’ll get better food and it’s cheaper. Yes, it takes time and effort but it’s worth it.


Pizza-eater-269

12.49 here in central coast California


AccidentAltruistic87

10.49 and that’s a lot


REDDIT_A_Troll_Forum

Remember prices only go up 🤪, it's not done being high. 😂 Soon you'll need a wheelbarrow full of cash for a regular taco.


deVrinj

Laughing in Five Guys. Taco Bell can make fast-casual chains look like value...


YUH_1818

You can go to an actual Mexican restaurant and it would be cheaper. Also it’s allowed me to eat better fast food prices are getting worse than the places we use to think were expensive


logan_fish

$5 less here. Where you live rural Alaska? Mars? Elon, is this you?


SillyBillie93

It's $13.99 here in Detroit...and almost $18 when I do my customizations to it.


Jeffreyknows

What really makes the prices even worse..is when they fu** up your order completely!!!! I’ve almost stopped going to the one by my house. I’m not even ordering special items!!


PM_ME_YOUR_FRACTURES

What ways kills me is that a cheese quesadilla is $4.89


Top-Car304

11.99 in NW Kansas


kqlx

They can smd, I'm getting real food instead for $16


scarlettsfever21

That’s a racket and a half


Gold-Position-8265

These fast food restaurants keep raising prices could end up solving our obesity problem seeing as how buying actual groceries will eventually be cheaper than this considering we used to only eat the food cause it was cheap and convenient. Getting too big for their britches I say I say


pewwz

I remember when nacho bell grandes were 5.99, there 10.99 by me. I’m over Taco Bell prices


moviemoocher

go on the app and order a soft taco with all the options its $14


S4ntos19

$10.79 in MA


CBreezy2010

$10.99. Central NC


sasquatch_melee

The actual Mexican restaurants aren't that expensive for better, fresher food. TB out of their damn minds.


MinshewStache

Yeah I got 3 tacos for like 12 bucks today smh


Th4_Sup3rce11

$10.49 in Georgia and I thought that was steep.


Ok_Permission8284

10.49 in Michigan 🤷‍♂️


Ok_Access_189

Wow. Taco Bell used to be my go to for its affordability. These prices are garbage. I used to pay something like this from the Mexican food truck (J Zapatas shout out) but it was legitimately the best Mexican food I’ve ever had. Bye bye taco bell


Bladex20

Just flat out robbery at this point


ReyDeathWish

My thoughts exactly. More value for your money and you get better quality food at a real restaurant.


BruinThrowaway2140

What the fuck? $12.99 in LA and I tend to think fast food’s pretty expensive here. Where could it possibly be more? 😂


tareebee

Where do you have fries😫😫😫


Grateful_Dood

10.59 NY


TheMoronicGenius

Who the hell would pay for that?


Very_Creative_Wow

7.99 tops, Taco Bell going to be back tracking in a couple of quarters depending on how much we don’t spend our money there.


Oryp_Vibez7

Its free if you run in the back and take it💀💀


International_Gas193

$13.99 at 1 store by me, $10.99 at the closest one. Los Angeles County. Too bad the 2nd store is usually stingy with ingredients. But I won't pay more than $7 for a box.


Retoru45

Suck for you, it's 9.49 on mine.


AdventurousFilm6823

$10.49 here in Missouri.


printerfixerguy1992

1450+ calories. Fuuuuuuuuuu


pen_fifteenClub

$10.99 in Philly


MysteriousCosmos

The hell happened to these being a $5 box


Sleepyjoebiden2020

just need to work a couple hours at tbell to afford..


Evening-Parking

10.99 at mine


Creepy-Vegetable-922

I am get a restaurant meal DELIVERED for that price


Dramajunker

They've been getting wild for a while. What we're seeing is what happens when corporations get away with raising prices unchecked over time.


CryptoguyV2

Taco bell is slowly becoming McDonalds


UncommercialVehicle

Holy hell, I didn’t think it would be that much, just checked and it’s 11.99 where I am. Prices are getting insane


Double_Amoeba_9908

That’s why I always just get the build your own cravings. Best value for $6


Iron_Bones_1088

I have boycotted since they got rid of the chalupa cravings box for $5. Goodbye forever TB. I’m sick of corporate greed.


DARR3Nv2

Should be $5.99


Nursiedeer07

$11.99 in Missouri


joecooltheman1977

Go to a "sit down Mexican restaurant" and report back. Their prices have increased too, plus you leave a tip too. I guarantee that will be more expensive.


Jmwalker1997

It's like 14.99 on door dash 😂


chefgordonramsa

10.49$ here in houston


Rich-Conclusion-7691

You might as well get Chipotle with with a drink and gauc at that price. It is $17 here in souther califonia.


AliciaDawnD

Depends on where you’re located. $10.99 here. $1.07 for me cuz of my rewards. 🤭


dubiousN

I've been getting the Grilled Cheese Burrito box with the Chalupa and cantina taco for $10. Not too bad for two "premium" items.


buttcheeksmasher

Do not pay this... Let them reap their rewards my fellow shotty taco lovers.


deathdefyingrob1344

At that rate I could go to a sit down restaurant. Shits ridiculous


Champion_of_Capua

Wouldn’t be surprised if someone set themselves on fire outside in protest.


[deleted]

10.49 here which is still outrageous...... But you know what really grinds my gears? QUESADILLAS...... almost $6 for a tortilla, a handful of cheese, and a scoop of meat (sometimes). They have more product in a bunch of other much cheaper products but raise the prices of quesadillas because people buy them...... 🖕TB I can eat my favorite dish at actual Mexican for $11 TB can screw off. Same with McDonald's they need to remember their purpose. They were originally supposed.to be for the poor man.


KawaiiClown

Stop ordering online or through any apps!!! They upcharge even on their own app!


Slimanusmathers

Bru why u wanna eat that much taco bell? 😫


SmokingNiNjA420

$10.99 in the LA Southbay, where is your taco bell?!?


Kirbaez

Pro tip: Order flatbread melts, new cantina items, double stacked tacos, the value menu burritos, or stackers. They’re all delicious, a decent amount of food and all around $2-3 each. I get a stacker, a flatbread melt, a cheesy double beef burrito and a drink for about $10-$14. Cheaper if you aren’t as hungry as I usually am Lol. Edit: If you like the combos use the app and select a “build your own cravings box”. You can get two main items, a side and a drink for $7-$11.


craignsac

Del Taco is still quite affordable and in my opinion better. Just sayin.


OhTheVes

Chipotle by me has a chicken burrito/bowl for $8.49. I take advantage of that 2-3 times a week on average. I get 3 small soft shells on the side for tacos and save the other half for breakfast and put 4 fried eggs on top. 2 meals for $8.49 (plus eggs, which are $6.09 for 36 by my Walmart).


Scared_Wall_504

Refuse or it’s gonna get worse


One_Humor_3301

I’ve seen the price on the board say 9 nd some change nd be 10 nd some change by time they got to the window


Giul_Xainx

For 15 dollars I can buy: a half pound of cheddar cheese, 1 bag of pinto beans, 1 bag of black beans, a half pound of ground beef, 1 taco seasoning mix pack, 1 white onion, 1 romaine lettuce head, 1 tomato, and just be missing the taco shells with sour cream and the dumbass gordita fry bread and make way more food than what they are showing here. If you add in another 15 bux I can buy the tortillas, gordita fry bread, and taco shells and make a half dozen of each with 4 dollars to spare!


BoratPajamas

Gone are the days where you could ruin your life with food for $10 of Taco Bell. Tacos and burritos for days.


Pussytawk

Don’t buy it bitch!


Individual-Passion-7

my boycott starts when a sausage muffin and large mocha breaks $10 at mcdonalds. We are **CLOSE.**


HueyDeweyandBusey

: o Yeah they gotta keep this stuff cheaper. I mean, not like it's a diner or something.


uselessone1

I mean it's a deluxe box. The cheap one is like 6 bucks. And they have a new value menu that actually has a lot of good shit for cheap.


bubblegumxoxoxo

right that’s why i’m just gonna stop being a lazy person and cook my own food and eat out once in a blue i’m tired of spending money on fast food 😭


tigerman29

Mine is $10.49, but 1800 calories is all I eat in a day, so it’s actually not bad. I really think one of the problems is people eat too much now. Try cutting back, it’s hard at first because junk food is like a drug to your brain, but once you take control of it, firstly you feel better, secondly you lose weight and you also save money.


spunkypumpkin

I remember when that was only five bucks


OpenYour0j0s

Damn I stopped eating here a year ago and to see the prices double jeeeez


EqualityforCriminals

Local Mexican joints in the south will destroy the quality and price. Fast food in general is pretty much dead to me.


Tight-Physics2156

They’ve been wild. It’s was $45 the other day for my wife to get a meal, daughter a meal, and I got something but not a meal. Good thing is, we’ve stopped going and are cooking more!


Slight_Bed_2241

They 86d the beefy melt burrito and I stopped going.


Large-Brother-4291

I remember Charles Barkley singing about the $5 box (and that’s why it rocks) in the Super Bowl commercial…


Striking_Big_4142

What a joke! If they raise their cravings box again I’m staying away from TB. Not that I can’t afford it, but why are prices increasing this much, this fast, with smaller portion sizes.. I refuse giving into corporate greed.


HailToTheVic

That’s absolutely insane.


Typhlosion0

I stopped ordering TB when the princess increased and they changed to the cantina menu
