Quick answer: No, there is no Taco Bell kids menu in the U.S. Taco Bell announced in 2013 that it would drop kids' meals and toys, and they were gone by 2014. Families now order small regular items instead, such as the $1.39 Cheesy Roll Up (170 calories), a $1.99 Soft Taco (180 calories) or a $1.99 Bean Burrito.

If you're searching for a Taco Bell kids menu, you won't find one on the menu board or in the app. The good news is that the regular menu already includes plenty of small, inexpensive items that work well for children.

This guide lists the best kid-friendly picks with prices and calories from Taco Bell's U.S. online menu (checked October 2026), plus easy "kids meal" combinations, drink ideas and tips for families.

Taco Bell kids menu status in 2026

No. Taco Bell does not offer a kids' menu, kids' meals or toys at its U.S. restaurants. Every item is from the regular menu, and you order it the same way as any adult meal: at the counter, drive-thru, kiosk or in the Taco Bell app.

Because many Taco Bell items are already small and cheap, building a child-sized meal is easy. Several items cost under $2, and the lightest have about 170 calories.

What happened to Taco Bell kids' meals?

Taco Bell announced in 2013 that it would remove kids' meals and the toys that came with them from its U.S. menu. The change was phased in, and by 2014 kids' meals were gone. The old Taco Bell kids menu has not returned since.

Today the closest options are single regular items, small sides and the group bundles on the Taco Bell party packs page, which work well for families and kids' parties.

Drinks for kids at Taco Bell

Taco Bell's drink lineup leans toward sodas and Freezes, but a few options suit kids better:

  • Tropicana Orange Juice: $2.29, 140 calories.
  • G2 Gatorade and Tropicana Lemonade: available at many locations; prices vary, so check the app.
  • Smaller fountain sizes: the large fountain drink is $3.19, and small and medium sizes cost less.

MTN DEW flavors, including Baja Blast, contain caffeine, and the Pineapple Citrus Energy and Strawberry Tropics Energy drinks are energy beverages, so many parents skip those for children. Freezes are sweet treats: the MTN DEW Baja Blast Freeze has 190 calories. See every option on the Taco Bell drinks menu.

Mild options for picky eaters

Most core items aren't spicy on their own, but a few have heat built in. To keep things mild:

  • Stick to plain items like the Cheesy Roll Up, Soft Taco, Bean Burrito or Cheese Quesadilla.
  • Avoid items with spicy names, such as the Sriracha Chicken Crunchadilla or the Diablo Ranch Crispy Chicken Crunchwrap Slider.
  • Choose free Mild sauce packets instead of Fire or Diablo.
  • Use the Taco Bell app to remove ingredients a child won't eat, like tomatoes or onions.

Tips for families ordering at Taco Bell

  • Order in the app. Customizing is easier on screen, and Taco Bell Rewards members earn points.
  • Share dessert. A 12 Pack of Cinnabon Delights costs $7.59, about 63 cents per piece, versus $2.89 for a 2 Pack.
  • Check calories. The FDA's 2,000-calorie daily figure is a general guide for adults; many young children need less. Our Taco Bell nutrition and calories guide covers the whole menu.
  • Check allergens. Milk, egg, wheat and soy are common across the menu, and food is prepared in shared kitchens. See the Taco Bell allergen guide.

Feeding the whole family or a kids' party

For a group, bundles beat single items. The Meal for 4 costs $21.39 online and includes 2 Crunchwrap Supremes, 2 Chicken Quesadillas, 4 Soft Tacos and 2 Chips & Nacho Cheese Sauce. A Taco Party Pack of 12 Crunchy Tacos costs $20.99, about $1.75 per taco, and a Drinks Party Pack adds 4 medium drinks for $4.39.

Prices vary by location, and this is an unofficial guide that isn't affiliated with Taco Bell. For every item and price, see the full Taco Bell menu with prices.
