Mountain Dew Baja Blast — The Taco Bell Exclusive

Mountain Dew Baja Blast is a tropical lime-flavored Mountain Dew created exclusively for Taco Bell, and it has been a Taco Bell exclusive since 2004. No other restaurant chain pours it, which is exactly why the bright teal-green soda became the signature drink of the brand — for many fans, a Taco Bell run simply is not a Taco Bell run without one in the cup holder.

The original fountain version is the classic: our listed large Baja Blast costs $2.79 and carries 280 calories of sweet, citrusy fizz built to stand up to spicy food. The Baja Blast Freeze spins the same tropical lime flavor into an icy slush for $3.59 — and at 190 calories, the frozen version is actually the lighter pour of the two. Many locations also serve Baja Blast Zero Sugar, the same flavor profile without the sugar.

Which should you pick? The fountain original for free in-store refills, the Freeze on hot days or as a dessert-style finisher, and Zero Sugar when you want the lime taste with a fraction of the calories.

Taco Bell Freezes

Freezes are Taco Bell’s frozen slush drinks — part soda, part dessert, and one of the best ways to cool down a spicy order. Three Freezes anchor our list year-round: the Mountain Dew Baja Blast Freeze ($3.59, 190 cal), the Wild Strawberry Freeze ($3.59, 190 cal), a sweet berry slush, and the Dragonfruit Freeze ($3.69, 180 cal), a tropical, lightly tangy option with the fewest calories of the three.

Freeze flavors rotate seasonally, so limited-time flavors appear and disappear through the year — your local menu may carry extra Freezes beyond the three staples we list here. When a seasonal Freeze lands, it uses the same slush base in the same regular size.

Freeze or fountain? Pick a Freeze for a thicker, sweeter sip that holds its chill; pick a fountain drink when you want free dining-room refills and something lighter alongside your food. Either way, both drop to $1 during Happier Hour, covered below.

Fountain Drinks & Refrescas

The fountain lineup covers the classics: Pepsi, Diet Pepsi, Pepsi Zero Sugar, Starry, Mountain Dew, Dr Pepper and, of course, Mountain Dew Baja Blast. Lemonade and iced tea pour at many locations as well. Every fountain drink comes in small, medium and large, and if you dine in, refills on fountain drinks are free — one of the quietest bargains on the menu.

Many locations also pour Agua Refrescas, fruit-forward drinks inspired by agua fresca that sit between a juice and an iced tea in body and sweetness. They are the pick when soda feels too heavy but water feels too plain. During Happier Hour, medium Refrescas run about $2 at many locations — an under-the-radar deal worth knowing about.

Fountain and Refrescas prices are set locally and vary by size and location, so check the board at your restaurant or the app for exact numbers before you order.

Taco Bell Coffee & Iced Coffee

Taco Bell’s coffee game is small but distinctive, built around the cinnamon sweetness of its Cinnabon Delights. The Cinnabon Delights Iced Coffee ($2.79, 160 cal) pours smooth coffee over ice with a swirl of Cinnabon-flavored cream — sweet enough to double as an afternoon treat. From the breakfast menu, the Hot Cinnabon Delights Coffee ($2.49, 160 cal) serves the same cinnamon-vanilla profile warm.

Coffee is the natural partner to the morning menu: pair a hot coffee with a Breakfast Crunchwrap or a warm two-pack of Cinnabon Delights and you have the full breakfast ritual. Our breakfast guide covers the hours and the complete morning menu. The iced coffee, meanwhile, works all day as a sweet pick-me-up next to tacos and burritos.

$1 Drinks at Happier Hour

Every day from 2–5 PM, Taco Bell’s Happier Hour drops medium fountain drinks to $1 and regular Freezes to $1 at participating locations. It runs seven days a week, and there is no coupon, code or membership required — the discount is simply the price during the window.

The math is what makes it famous: a regular Freeze that costs $3.59 earlier in the day falls to $1 in the window, a saving of $2.59 on a single drink. Medium Refrescas also come down to about $2 at many locations during the same hours. Our Happier Hour page breaks down the full deal list and the terms to know.

Best Taco Bell Drinks, Ranked

We compared everything on this page — flavor, value, calories and availability — and these are the four picks we would hand to anyone ordering for the first time.

Best Overall: Mountain Dew Baja Blast

It is the drink Taco Bell is known for, and nothing else on any fast-food menu tastes quite like it. The tropical lime flavor was built for this food, it pours at every location, and the large on our list is only $2.79.

Best Frozen: Mountain Dew Baja Blast Freeze

The Freeze version keeps everything people love about Baja Blast and adds an icy, slushy texture. At 190 calories it is lighter than the large fountain original, and at $1 during Happier Hour it is unbeatable.

Best Low-Calorie: Zero-Sugar Options

Baja Blast Zero Sugar, Pepsi Zero Sugar and unsweetened iced tea (where poured) deliver the fountain experience with little to no sugar and near-zero calories — the easiest swap in this guide, with no flavor trade-off to think about.

Best Value: Happier Hour $1 Drinks

Between 2 and 5 PM, medium fountain drinks and regular Freezes cost a single dollar at participating locations. If your schedule can bend to the window, no other drink deal on this page comes close.

Drink Calories & Healthier Choices

The lightest listed drinks are the Iced Coffee at 160 calories and the Dragonfruit Freeze at 180. Freezes run lower than many people expect, because so much of the cup is ice. For the biggest cut, switch to a zero-sugar fountain drink or unsweetened iced tea, and pick the small or medium fountain size instead of the large. If you are tracking milk, soy or other ingredients in the coffee drinks, check our allergen guide before you order.

How to Order Taco Bell Drinks

Every channel sells the same drinks, but the price and the perks shift a little depending on how you order.

Drive-thru. The classic route: order at the speaker and your drink is waiting at the window. Happier Hour pricing applies automatically between 2 and 5 PM at participating locations — you do not need to ask for it.

Dine-in. The soda drinker’s best deal. Fountain drinks come with free refills in the dining room, so one cup can carry an entire slow lunch. Freezes and bottled drinks are not refillable.

Taco Bell app. Order ahead, pick your size and pay in the app to skip the line. Every drink earns Rewards points toward free food, and app users see drink drops and offers first.

Delivery. Third-party delivery apps carry most of the drinks menu, but prices are usually higher than in store once markups and fees land — and a Freeze can lose some of its frost on the ride over.
