Taco Time Crisp Burrito vs Soft Burrito: Which to Get

Taco Time's two flagship burrito styles couldn't be more different. Here's how the Crisp Burrito and the Soft Burrito stack up.

Texture

The crisp burrito is rolled tight and fried, so the tortilla shatters when you bite it. The soft burrito is a warm, pliable flour tortilla — comfort food versus crunch.

Calories and price

The crisp meat burrito is lighter (~350 cal) and cheaper than the soft beef burrito (~551 cal). If you're counting calories or dollars, the crisp wins.

When to order each

Get the crisp burrito when you want the signature Taco Time experience or a lighter single item. Get the soft burrito when you want something larger, customizable and more filling.

Verdict

For newcomers, the crisp burrito is the one to try first — it's the item that makes Taco Time distinct. Compare both live in the calorie calculator.
