Baja Blast Calories and Caffeine

A large Baja Blast has 420 calories, and nearly all of them come from sugar. To cut calories, order Baja Blast Zero Sugar (15 calories) or the Zero Sugar dirty soda (60 calories). For calories across the whole menu, see our Taco Bell nutrition guide.

Yes, Baja Blast has caffeine, about as much as regular Mountain Dew. Published figures range from about 54 mg to 59 mg per 12 ounces, depending on whether it’s the fountain drink or a can. A Taco Bell large holds much more than 12 ounces, so a large cup has more caffeine than a can.

Taco Bell Baja Blast Pie

The Mountain Dew Baja Blast Pie is a key lime-style pie with Baja Blast flavor, a graham crumb crust and whipped cream on top. Taco Bell released it nationwide on November 6, 2025, for a limited time. A whole pie cost $19.99. Taco Bell sold it in restaurants only and didn’t sell slices.

Taco Bell also sold a Baja Blast Pie Chiller, a blended drink made with the pie. It cost $4.19 for 16 oz or $4.59 for 20 oz at select Live Más Cafés in Southern California and Texas.

Taco Bell has since announced a follow-up, the Baja Midnight Pie, with a passionfruit flavor. Check the Taco Bell app to see if it has reached your store.
