As of February 19, 2026, the fan-favorite Chicken Bacon Ranch Street Chalupas are back at Taco Bell nationwide. However, they’re only available for a limited time, so if you liked them last time or want to try them out, now is the time to order.
For those who don’t know, the Chicken Bacon Ranch Street Chalupas are sold as a two-pack for $5.99. You can also pick them up with Chicken Bacon Ranch Nacho Fries for an additional $4.99.
The chalupas
The headline of this drop, though, has to be the Chalupas. For your $5.99, you get:
- Two toasted cheddar street-style shells
- Each is stuffed with slow-roasted chicken and crispy bacon
- Topped with pico de gallo, shredded cheddar, and Avocado Ranch Sauce.
In a taste test, Delish reported the Street Chalupas were the clear standout, mostly because that toasted cheddar shell adds a crunchy, salty hit that makes the whole thing feel more snackable, even when it’s a full-on indulgence.
When they were previously back at Taco Bell, I split them with my wife. Both of us enjoyed them, and we’ll be picking some up again this weekend. The reason for the splitting is that the two together total 620 calories and 1,220 mg of sodium. Anyone watching their blood pressure should track their sodium.
The Chicken Bacon Ranch Nacho Fries offer the same combination of flavors: chicken, bacon, nacho cheese sauce, pico, plus Avocado Ranch. These are listed at 350 calories and 940 mg of sodium.
Limited-time launches
This latest drop by Taco Bell adds another item to the long list of new menu launches stacking up across the fast-food market right now. From mint desserts for March to seafood for Lent, what makes them attention-grabbing is that they’re all limited-time offers.
Regardless, this Taco Bell return is delicious. The familiar flavors of nacho cheese sauce, pico, and avocado ranch are not to be missed, especially with a crunchy shell for texture. As PR Newswire put it, it’s a comfort trifecta with street-food-style flavors. It’s definitely worth checking out for $5.99.
