TacoTime Menu USA Prices 2026

The Crisp Burrito is the whole reason TacoTime exists, as far as I am concerned. They roll it tight, then fry the whole burrito until the tortilla turns golden and shattering-crisp. It is the one item you have to try first. Prices start at $3.09 for the pinto bean version.

My pick? The Crisp Beef Burrito. That crunch when you bite in, then the warm queso and seasoned beef, it just works. The pinto bean version is the budget hero though. At $3.09 it is one of the cheapest items on the entire TacoTime menu, and it still tastes like a full meal.

Not in a crunchy mood? The soft burrito lineup covers everything from simple bean burritos to the loaded Classic. Soft burritos start around $5.99 and the fully loaded Classic Burrito runs $11.29.

The Big Juan is the move when you are seriously hungry. It is wrapped twice so it holds together, and the filling actually reaches the last bite, which is more than I can say for a lot of fast-food burritos. The Casita is my sleeper pick, that enchilada sauce gives it a saucy, almost platter-meal feel.

TacoTime tacos come three ways: crisp corn shells, soft flour tortillas, and the bigger super soft style. Crisp tacos start at $2.00, soft tacos run $5.49 and up, and the Fish Baja taco is $5.99.

Quick tip. If you want the most taco for the least money, the $2.00 crisp and Baja tacos are hard to beat. Two of those plus a small Mexi-Fries is a real lunch for under $6.00 in most locations. The Fish Baja is the one people sleep on, crispy, fresh, and it does not taste like an afterthought the way fish does at some taco chains.

Every combo meal at TacoTime comes with regular Mexi-Fries and a drink, which makes the math easy. Combo prices run from $13.69 for the Light Meal to $19.99 for the two fish Baja combo.

Are combos worth it? Usually yes, if you were going to order fries and a drink anyway. The Light Meal combo is the best value on the board for a normal appetite. But if you just want one taco, skip the combo, order a la carte, and pocket the difference.

Quesadillas at TacoTime are grilled flour tortillas stuffed with cheddar, peppers, and onions, plus your protein. Nachos come loaded over red and yellow corn chips. Cheese quesadillas start around $4.99 and nachos run $9.19.

The Chicken Quesadilla is one of those items that never lets me down. Crispy edges, gooey middle, and the peppers give it a little bite. The nachos are a legit shareable, grab them when you are splitting with a friend and want something to pick at while you talk.

Yes, TacoTime has salads, and they are better than you would expect from a taco joint. Taco salads come in a crisp tortilla bowl, and burrito bowls skip the tortilla entirely. Salads start around $10.49 and bowls run $11.99 to $15.99.

The Taco Salad with chicken at around 310 calories is genuinely one of the lightest things on the TacoTime menu, and it still eats like real food, not diet food. The Fit-Hit Bowl is the other smart order when you want protein without the tortilla.

Does TacoTime serve breakfast? Yes, at participating locations, and it is all burrito-driven. Breakfast burritos run from $3.99 for the Egg and Tater up to $5.39 for the Ultimate, plus a breakfast quesadilla and Taters and Gravy.

Breakfast hours vary a lot by location, so call ahead if you are making a special trip. Most breakfast-serving spots open early and wrap breakfast in the late morning. The Ultimate Burrito is a full meal, fair warning, you will not need lunch.

Mexi-Fries are TacoTime’s signature side: little seasoned potato gems, fried crisp. They come plain, stuffed, or deluxe with toppings. Regular Mexi-Fries run about $2.19, and chips with guacamole are $5.49.

Do not sleep on the Deluxe Mexi-Fries. They are basically loaded nachos built on potatoes, and they are dangerous in the best way. Also, the sauce bottles at $4.99 make a great take-home if you love their hot sauce, and sauce packets are free with an order.

Kids meals at TacoTime include a kid-sized Mexi-Fries and a drink, and they start around $3.99 for the simplest picks. The value side of the menu is where TacoTime quietly beats a lot of bigger chains.

The Choose 3 deal for $7.00 is one of the best value plays on the whole TacoTime menu. Mix a crisp taco, a small fries, and a drink, and you have lunch for less than most coffee shops charge for a latte. Families should also watch for the Greats After 8 evening deal at Taco Time Northwest locations, with $2, $3, and $5 full-size favorites after 8 PM for a limited time.

Finish with something sweet. Crustos are crisped flour tortilla strips dusted in cinnamon sugar, and the empanadas are fried turnovers with fruit or cream filling. Smoothies come in 12, 20, and 32 ounce sizes.

Crustos are the classic ending and, at $2.39, the cheapest sweet thing on the menu. They are light, crackly, and gone in about ninety seconds. The smoothies are the surprise though. If you want something cold and fruity with your tacos, the Strawberry Banana in the 20 oz size is the sweet spot.

Feeding a crowd? TacoTime catering is built around Fiesta Packs and the Fiesta Bar. Fiesta Packs bundle 24 items and run $110.00 to $115.00, while the Fiesta Bar catering option starts at $274.99 and covers larger gatherings with five pounds of protein.

For office lunches and game days, the Fiesta Pack is the no-brainer. Order a day ahead when you can, confirm pickup time, and ask about sauces and chips to round it out. Catering menus vary by location, so check with your nearest TacoTime before you count on a specific pack.

How healthy is TacoTime? It depends entirely on what you order, and the range is huge. A Taco Salad with chicken lands around 310 calories, while a fully loaded platter meal can pass 1,100. Here are the highlights.

If you want the full nutrition PDF, check TacoTime’s official site or ask in-store, they publish full nutrition and allergen info. My rule of thumb: go grilled chicken, load up on salsa fresca and veggies, skip the extra cheese sauce, and you can eat very well here without feeling deprived.

Can you save money at TacoTime? Absolutely, and the deals are better than most people realize. Here are the five moves I actually use.

• Join TacoTime Fresh Rewards. Members earn points on every dollar, plus a sign-up bonus. Points turn into dollars off your bill, so it pays for itself fast if you visit even twice a month.
• Use the Choose 3 deal. Three value items for $7.00 is one of the best fast-food bundles anywhere. Build a whole lunch around it.
• Go after 8 PM at Taco Time NW. The Greats After 8 menu offers full-size favorites for $2, $3, and $5 in the evening at participating Northwest locations, for a limited time.
• Ask about senior discounts. Participating locations offer senior discounts, but they are not always advertised. Just ask at the counter.
• Order combos only when you want the full set. If you do not need fries and a drink, ordering a la carte is cheaper. Combos win when you want the whole meal.

One honest note: TacoTime rarely issues public coupon codes, so do not waste time hunting for a magic promo code. The rewards program, the Choose 3 bundle, and the evening deals are where the real savings live.

What are TacoTime’s hours? Most locations open around 10:00 AM and close between 9:00 PM and 10:30 PM, with some variation by location and season. Breakfast-serving locations open earlier.

Hours vary by franchise, so check your local TacoTime on Google Maps before you head out, especially on holidays. Late-night hours are more common at high-traffic locations.

TacoTime was founded in January 1960 in Eugene, Oregon, by Ron Fraedrick, who opened the first walk-up restaurant near the University of Oregon. The first franchise followed in 1962 in White Center, Washington, and the chain grew across the western United States before expanding into Canada in 1978. Today TacoTime operates more than 300 locations across the United States and Canada under parent company Kahala Brands, headquartered in Scottsdale, Arizona. The brand is known for fresh, made-in-store prep: taco shells, tortilla chips, salad bowls, salsas, and sauces are made from scratch in each restaurant. That old-school prep is a big part of why the food tastes different from assembly-line taco chains.
