Taco Bell combos guide
Combo meals and Cravings Boxes pair an entrée with a side and a drink at a bundled price. This guide explains the main combo formats at Taco Bell, what's typically inside, how much they cost, and when a combo is actually a better deal than ordering items individually.
Classic numbered combos
Most Taco Bell stores list a small set of numbered combos on the in-store menu board. Each combo pairs a fan-favorite entrée with a side (usually chips and cheese, or cinnamon twists) and a medium drink. Typical examples include:
- Crunchwrap Supreme Combo — Crunchwrap Supreme, side, and drink, typically $9–$11.
- Chalupa Supreme Combo — two Chalupas Supreme, side, and drink, typically $10–$12.
- Burrito Supreme Combo — Burrito Supreme, taco, and drink, typically $9–$11.
- Nachos BellGrande Combo — Nachos BellGrande, taco, and drink, typically $11–$13.
Combos save a small but real amount versus ordering each item separately — usually $1 to $2 — and they're the fastest way to order at the speaker or kiosk because you only specify one number.
Build Your Own Cravings Box
The Cravings Box is Taco Bell's most flexible combo. You pick one item from each of four categories — entrée, snack, side, and drink — for a single bundled price, usually between $5.99 and $7.99 depending on the location and the entrée you choose.
A standard build looks like:
- Entrée: Chalupa Supreme, Crunchwrap Supreme, or a Beefy 5-Layer Burrito.
- Snack: Crunchy Taco, Cheesy Bean and Rice Burrito, or a Doritos Locos Taco.
- Side: Chips and nacho cheese, cinnamon twists, or a small order of nacho fries when available.
- Drink: Medium fountain drink, Baja Blast included.
The Cravings Box is the single best value pick at Taco Bell for one person — the same four items à la carte typically cost $10 to $12.
Deluxe boxes and group combos
Higher-tier boxes (the Deluxe Box and various group bundles) add a second entrée or extra tacos for $11 to $14 and are aimed at one hungry person or two people sharing. The "$5 Cravings Box" branding has come and gone over the years; current pricing depends on your local franchise.
When combos actually save money
Combos save money most reliably when:
- You were going to order a drink anyway. Drinks have the highest margin at fast food, so bundling a drink is where the math works in your favor.
- The included side is something you'd buy separately. If you don't want chips or cinnamon twists, the combo is less of a win.
- You compare the combo price to the sum of each individual item's price at your store, including any local markup.
If you're skipping the drink, two value items off the Cravings Value Menu will almost always be cheaper than any combo.
App-only combo deals
The Taco Bell app frequently lists digital-only combos that are not on the in-store menu — rotating deals like a $5 Chalupa Cravings Pack or a free taco with a $15 mobile order. These deals change weekly, so it's worth checking the "Rewards & Offers" tab before you order.
