The menu puts spicy flavor in the spotlight thanks to [Caliente Sauce](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/taco-bell-and-franks-redhot), which is observed on each of the various options and will help the additional ingredients to shine brightly. The menu includes the Crispy Taco, Soft Taco, Burrito, Quesadilla and Bowl, which are priced ranging from $2.99 to $7.99 to offer customers with any budget an option to try out. The Taco Bell Caliente Cantina Chicken Menu is being offered exclusively for Taco Bell Rewards Members to try out via the brand's app now before being formally launched on February 27, 2025.
