Taco Bell Prices in Ohio vs California

Pick two states

Same chain. Each number is the median pickup price at the restaurants we priced in that state, not one city and not one till. About half of a chain’s price spread lives inside a single state, which is why this mode exists alongside City and Store.

Or tap the map. Same logo pins as the price map — pinch toward a town, then tap a pin.

A typical Crunchy Taco in Ohio is $1.99; in California it is $2.19. Those are state medians across 413 restaurants and 844 restaurants, not two restaurants. Same chain, two state medians, pickup prices from Taco Bell's own ordering system.

This page is the state, not a city and not a store. Ohio is the median across 413 priced restaurants; California is the median across 844. About half of a chain’s price spread lives inside one state, so a Ohio-vs-California number is the middle of two wide ranges, not a promise about the restaurant on your corner.

City or Store mode is the right tool for a restaurant on your corner, or for whether Austin is cheaper than Dallas. This page answers the coarser argument people actually have: is Ohio Taco Bell cheaper than California Taco Bell, typically?

Common in California, not in the other state: Melty Pepper Jack Steak Burrito.

How to read this

Each price is the median pickup quote at the restaurants we priced in that state, not one city and not one store. Tax is not included. A gap of a few cents on one sandwich is noise; 119 overlapping items pointing the same way is a difference between the two states.

Compare a different pair of states with the picker at the top, or drop to City or Store mode when the argument is about a town or a specific Taco Bell, not the whole state. The price map colours every restaurant we have.

What this does not do yet. It does not match a Big Mac to a Whopper, and it does not hunt down the cheapest restaurant for a custom order. Those are next. This page is the state-grain question: two states, same chain, median overlapping menu, different typical prices.
