Taco Bell brought back its Steak and Chicken Cheesy Street Chalupas on Nov. 12, along with Steak and Jalapeno Nacho Fries. Here is what is in them and what they cost right now.
Taco Bell fans who missed the Cheesy Street Chalupas can order them again.
The chain brought back the street-sized chalupas on Thursday, Nov. 12, Sporked reports. They landed the same day Taco Bell launched its new Flamin’ Hot Mini Taco Salad and brought back the Flamin’ Hot Grilled Cheese Burrito, which we covered earlier this week.
Taco Bell is also bringing back Steak and Jalapeno Nacho Fries to go with them.
What are Taco Bell’s Cheesy Street Chalupas?
Cheesy Street Chalupas are a smaller take on Taco Bell’s classic chalupa. The shell has a layer of melted cheese pressed inside it, and each order comes with two.
Taco Bell built the shell from its Quesalupa, a cheese-stuffed chalupa it first sold in 2016. The toppings are meant to look and taste like a street taco, with fresh onions and cilantro on top.
There are two versions this time:
Steak Cheesy Street Chalupas: grilled, marinated steak, creamy jalapeno sauce, chopped onions and cilantro.
Slow-Roasted Chicken Cheesy Street Chalupas: slow-roasted chicken, Jalapeno Ranch sauce, chopped onions and cilantro.
What is on the Steak and Jalapeno Nacho Fries?
The fries are Taco Bell’s seasoned Nacho Fries topped with grilled steak, nacho cheese sauce, creamy jalapeno sauce and pickled jalapenos, according to Sporked.
If you like the steak chalupas, the fries use a lot of the same flavors. That makes them an easy add-on if you are building a bigger order.
How much do Cheesy Street Chalupas cost?
Taco Bell has not posted a national price for this return. Prices vary by location.
At one Taco Bell, a two-pack of Cheesy Street Chalupas was $6.49, Snackology’s Bill Kuchman reports. That is a bit more than last year, when Taco Bell listed the two-pack at $5.49 for its August 2025 return.
Your best bet is to check the Taco Bell app for the price at your local store. The app also shows any combo boxes the chalupas are part of near you.
How long will Cheesy Street Chalupas be at Taco Bell?
Taco Bell has not said. Like past runs, this return is for a limited time. Sporked notes that no one knows how long they will stick around.
If history is a guide, they won’t be around forever. The chalupas first came out in July 2024 for a limited time. They came back in August 2025 for another limited run.
Taco Bell has also used the same street-sized shell for other flavors. In February 2026, it rolled out Chicken Bacon Ranch Street Chalupas, which Taco Bell called the third flavor version of its Street Chalupas line. Before that, in March 2025, it sold Toasted Cheddar Chalupas for a limited time, People reported.
Fans have pushed for the original versions to come back each time they leave. When the chalupas disappeared in 2024, one Reddit user called it a “tragedy,” Food Network reported.
What else is new at Taco Bell this week?
The chalupas are part of a busy week at Taco Bell.
The Flamin’ Hot Grilled Cheese Burrito is back for $5.49. It is filled with seasoned beef, nacho cheese sauce, reduced-fat sour cream, spicy rice seasoned with Fritos Flamin’ Hot, Creamy Chipotle sauce, Fritos Flamin’ Hot chips and a three-cheese blend. The outside of the tortilla gets a grilled layer of cheese.
The new Flamin’ Hot Mini Taco Salad costs $2.49. It comes in a fried flour shell bowl with seasoned beef, the same spicy rice, refried beans, lettuce, tomatoes, Creamy Chipotle sauce, Fritos Flamin’ Hot chips and cheddar cheese. Taco Bell first teased it at its Live Mas LIVE event in March.
Taco Bell is also planning a Tuesday Drops promotion on Nov. 17 to celebrate the Flamin’ Hot items, Yahoo Lifestyle reports.
What should you drink with Cheesy Street Chalupas?
Sporked suggests a few Taco Bell drinks to go with the chalupas:
Mountain Dew Baja Blast
Strawberry Dream Refresca
Pineapple Dragonfruit Dream Refresca
Tropicana Original Lemonade
Should you try the Cheesy Street Chalupas?
If you liked the Quesalupa or the regular Chalupa Supreme, these are worth a look. They are smaller, so a two-pack can work as a light meal or as part of a bigger order with the Nacho Fries.
