Taco Bell is one of my favorite places to go for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Since opening its doors in 1962 in California, the company has grown into a global brand and delivers Mexican-inspired food to those with cravings across the world. 

I try to swing by the restaurant during their Happier Hour promotion to score the best deals.

Taco Bell is already very affordable as fast-food restaurants are concerned, and if you head there during Happier Hour, you’ll save even more.

Taco Bell Happier Hour

We will look at some of the best Taco Bell happy hour deals and when Happier Hour is. 

$1 Freezes

One of the best Taco Bell happy hour deals is their freezes of all flavors and colors available for just one dollar.

Freezes are the name that Taco Bell gives to its slushies. You can try the Cherry Sunrise Freeze or the Wild Cherry Freeze.

Mountain Dew Baja Blast is a staple of Taco Bell, and during Happier Hour, you can try the freeze version for just one dollar. 

My favorite freeze is the blue raspberry variety, but you can’t go wrong with any of these signature drinks from the restaurant. 


$1 Drinks

If you’re not interested in freezes and just want something to quench your thirst with the rest of your meal, all medium drinks are just one dollar during Happier Hour.

Taco Bell has Pepsi products, including Pepsi, Diet Pepsi, Pepsi Zero Sugar, Mountain Dew, Mountain Dew Baja Blast, Sierra Mist, and Dr. Pepper.

Additionally, Taco Bell has a few other drinks that may not be as common but are just as delicious. For a post-workout drink, try the G2 Gatorade Fruit Punch.

My personal favorite is the Dole Lemonade Strawberry Squeeze, a strawberry lemonade perfect for a hot summer’s day.


Taco Bell Value Cravings Menu

Taco Bell’s Value Cravings Menu has great deals throughout the day, not just during Happier Hour.

But these delicious items pair perfectly with your discounted Happier Hour Drinks. For $2, you can get the Chipotle Ranch Grilled Chicken Burrito, Fiesta Veggie Burrito, or the Beefy Melt Burrito.

All three are filled with flavor and are an excellent value for the price.

For even cheaper options, try the Cheesy Bean and Rice Burrito, Cheesy Roll-Up, Cinnamon Twists, or the Spicy Potato Soft Taco.

It’s got just enough spice, and the potatoes are a delicious addition to any meal.


When is Taco Bell Happy Hour? 

Taco Bell hosts its Happier Hour every day from 2 to 5 p.m. During Happier Hour, all drinks and freezes are one dollar.

Taco Bell often adds other specials to its Happier Hour menu, but they’re subject to change. Ask when you visit if there are any other deals!

Before heading to your Taco Bell restaurant, ensure they are a participating location in the Happier Hour promotion. And be sure you order on the app to accumulate rewards points for free menu items. 

The Taco Bell happy hour deals make the perfect afternoon pick-me-up. They’re a great deal for students, as they will be out of school just in time to take advantage of the deals. 


If you want to try all the delicious drinks Taco Bell has on tap but want to save money, try going during the restaurant’s Happier Hour promotion.

From 2 to 5 pm, you can get all medium drinks and freezes for just one dollar. If you pair that with any items on the Value Cravings Menu, you can have an inexpensive afternoon snack or early dinner.
