Soft Taco vs. Crunchy Taco
| Feature | Soft Taco | Crunchy Taco |
|---|---|---|
| Price | $1.99 | $1.99 |
| Calories | 180 | 170 |
| Shell | Soft flour tortilla | Crunchy corn shell |
| Fillings | Beef, lettuce, cheddar | Beef, lettuce, cheddar |
| Best for | Less mess, easier to eat in the car | Classic crunch |
The two tacos cost the same and have the same fillings. The only real difference is the shell. The flour tortilla contains wheat, so if you avoid gluten, the corn-shell Crunchy Taco is the better starting point. Check Taco Bell’s allergen tool before you order.
Did Taco Bell Get Rid of the Spicy Potato Soft Taco?
Only for a while. Taco Bell removed its potatoes in August 2020 to simplify its menu. After fans pushed back, potatoes returned in 2021, and the Spicy Potato Soft Taco is now part of the Luxe Value Menu. For other items that left and came back, see our discontinued Taco Bell items guide.
How to Order a Vegan Soft Taco
Taco Bell says you can make the Spicy Potato Soft Taco vegan by ordering it Fresco style. That removes the cheddar and chipotle sauce and adds diced tomatoes. Food can still touch meat and dairy in the kitchen.
