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.

A typical Crunchy Taco in Texas is $1.99; in California it is $2.19. Those are state medians across 709 restaurants and 843 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. Texas is the median across 709 priced restaurants; California is the median across 843. About half of a chain’s price spread lives inside one state, so a Texas-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 Texas Taco Bell cheaper than California Taco Bell, typically?

Texas listed 1 comparable item often enough to publish a state median that California did not. California listed 15 that Texas did not. Those stay off the state table rather than inventing a price for a state that barely sells them.
Common in Texas, not in the other state: Lipton® Sweet Tea.
Common in California, not in the other state: MTN DEW® Zero, Hash Brown, Breakfast Quesadilla Steak, Cheesy Toasted Breakfast Burrito Bacon, Breakfast Quesadilla Bacon, Grande Toasted Breakfast Burrito Steak, Grande Toasted Breakfast Burrito Bacon, and Cheesy Toasted Breakfast Burrito Potato.
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; 96 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.
