$3.00 posted by Taco Bell for the Melty Pepper Jack Steak Burrito, which carries 440 Cal.
The Taco Bell Melty Pepper Jack Steak Burrito price is $3.00 with 440 Cal beside it, printed on three of the company's own pages. Its fresca counterpart carries the same $3.00 and 500 Cal, so the two are separated by 60 calories and nothing else that Taco Bell publishes. Both are the cheapest steak rows on the menu by a margin of almost three dollars.

If something goes wrong
Melty or Fresca Pepper Jack Steak Burrito?
- Cause
- Taco Bell posts both at $3.00 and prints 440 Cal here against 500 for the fresca build. The melty version leans on warm cheese and the fresca version on cooler toppings, and the 60-calorie gap is the only published difference.
- Fix
- Take this one where the melted cheese is the point. The fresca build gives 60 more calories for the same money if quantity decides it.
Why is the price a round $3.00?
- Cause
- Almost every other row across the burritos, tacos and specialties sections ends in an odd number of cents. These two steak burritos are the only exceptions, both posted at exactly three dollars.
- Fix
- Read the round figure as a promotional price point. Rows priced that way on this brand have historically moved back to a nine-ending figure when the promotion ends.
Melty Pepper Jack Steak Burrito is not in my app
- Cause
- The row appeared on Taco Bell's burritos page, its value menu page and its featured page on 19 August 2026. Featured placement usually signals a limited run rather than a permanent listing.
- Fix
- Search the featured and value sections under your own restaurant. Where it has gone, pepper jack steak still appears on nacho fries at $5.99.
Sixty calories, and nothing else, between two three-dollar burritos
Taco Bell sells two pepper jack steak burritos and prices them identically at $3.00. One is melty at 440 Cal, the other fresca at 500. That 60-calorie gap is the entire published difference between them, and both figures came off three of the company's own pages on 19 August 2026.
The pair is also priced unlike anything else here. Across the forty-six rows in the burritos, tacos and specialties sections, only these two carry a round-dollar figure; every other price ends in nine, or in one of a handful of odd cent values. A flat $3.00 on a menu built from $2.99 and $3.19 is a deliberate signal, and it usually means a price that is being held rather than one that has settled.
What's in it
Marinated steak with melted pepper jack sauce, seasoned rice and a three-cheese blend in a warm flour tortilla, grilled to finish. Warmth is what separates it from the fresca build, which carries cooler toppings and 60 more calories. Taco Bell publishes the calorie count and nothing else, because the per-item nutrition panel on the company's site returns nothing an automated read can use.
Is it worth it
About 147 calories a dollar puts this row eighth of sixteen in the burritos section, which is respectable without being remarkable. Its own twin beats it at 167 for the same money, and the Cheesy Bean and Rice Burrito nearly doubles both at 268.
The comparison that flatters it is the steak one. Four rows across this menu carry steak and the other three are posted at $3.00, $5.99 and $5.99, so anyone buying steak on price alone is choosing between this burrito and its fresca twin. Pepper Jack Steak Nacho Fries cost $2.99 more and carry 50 calories more, which is a poor exchange by any reading.
Two cautions belong on the record. Featured placement suggests the $3.00 is temporary, and no published list checked in August 2026 carries either steak burrito, so a change would show up nowhere except on Taco Bell's own pages. The company's note applies as always: posted prices are for participating restaurants and prices vary. On a row this cheap that caveat matters less in cash than it does on the six-dollar burritos, though it applies with exactly the same force.
