Taco Bell Has Two New Grilled Steak Burritos for $3 Each—Read on for a Food Editor’s Review

• What’s In It: marinated grilled steak, three-cheese blend, jalapeño ranch sauce, reduced-fat sour cream and seasoned rice, grilled in a flour tortilla
• Price: $3

This one is definitely more what you expect from a Taco Bell burrito. It’s heavy on the rice and seems like less steak-forward than the other option. But for $3, this is probably the more filling of the pair. It has a mild heat, but the spice itself is more one-note than its Chipotle Ranch counterpart. Its texture was also much softer because it wasn’t grilled and had more “slop” fillings, like sour cream. I’d go with this one if you’re a diehard for one of the evergreen burritos, or if you’re looking to get as satiated as possible for $3.

• What’s In It: marinated grilled steak, chipotle ranch sauce, avocado ranch sauce, shredded lettuce, pico de gallo, cheddar cheese and crispy Fiesta tortilla strips, grilled in a flour tortilla
• Price: $3

I found this new grilled steak burrito to be much more interesting, both in terms of texture and flavor. The lettuce and chips were both still crisp, offering pops of crunch between morsels of tender meat and a double-dose of sauce. Without rice in the mix, this felt like a lighter choice, although the grilled tortilla somehow made it feel heartier all the while. The pico offered much-welcome freshness to the menu item, resulting in a flavor and appearance that was somewhat of a departure from the typical fast food burrito. I also liked the spice here, as it tasted zestier, more herbaceous and nuanced compared to the Cheesy Melt option.
