Back to Frequently Asked Questions

  • Does Taco Bell offer vegetarian-friendly options?

    Yes, we are actually the first quick-service restaurant to offer American Vegetarian Association (AVA)(1) certified vegetarian food. And, people love it! Over 10 percent of all items ordered at Taco Bell are either vegetarian-friendly, or made vegetarian-friendly by some type of substitution or removal. Some of our most popular menu items are the classic Bean Burrito, Veggie Power Menu Bowl and Black Bean Crunchwrap Supreme. Plus, you can customize almost any item on the menu by selecting ‘Make it Vegetarian’ when ordering via web or mobile app. Or, check out ‘Veggie Mode’ by ordering through our in-restaurant kiosks. With just a tap of a button, nearly the entire menu is transformed to feature vegetarian options only – like the Black Bean Chalupa! Check out our blog post, How to Eat Vegetarian at Taco Bell for a full list of our certified vegetarian items and more ideas on how to get your favorite vegetarian-friendly options at Taco Bell.
