- Taco Bell’s value menu is made up of eight items each listed online for $1.
- I went to the fast-food taco joint to taste and rank each item on the basis of flavor and value.
- While the spicy chicken quesadilla melt was decent in size, it was lacking flavor and was significantly more runny than a classic quesadilla — this item was the clear choice for last place.
- With its large portion size and abundance of flavor, the triple layer nachos came in first.

In my quest to try all the biggest and best fast-food dollar-menu items out there, I’ve come face to face with a harsh reality: Barely any fast-food giants have true $1 menus anymore.
Taco Bell, though, has an entire value menu made up of eight items priced at $1. I went down to my local Taco Bell in New York City to try each item and rank them based on both taste and value.
I was a little surprised to find that the in-store prices were slightly higher than online (items were $1.29 with the exception of the shredded chicken quesadilla melt at $1.49), but the employee behind the counter informed me that prices are slightly higher in NYC and other markets list items for the advertised $1 — so if you’re going to your Taco Bell expecting $1 items, it’s smart to call ahead and ask for price confirmation.
Here’s my complete ranking of each item on Taco Bell’s value menu.
