Taco Bell is bringing a new spicy steak version of its Nacho Fries to menus nationwide, plus making the original fries a permanent item. The new Diablo Ranch Steak Nacho Fries feature seasoned fries topped with grilled, marinated steak, Hidden Valley Diablo Ranch sauce, warm nacho cheese sauce, shredded 3-cheese blend, and pico de gallo.
The dish is available as a limited-time menu item. The regular Nacho Fries are now a permanent fixture on the chain’s menu, which means they’re available at all times rather than just temporarily.
The New Steak Dish
The key ingredients in the Diablo Ranch Steak Nacho Fries are the grilled, marinated steak and the Hidden Valley Diablo Ranch sauce. The rest of the toppings include warm nacho cheese sauce, shredded 3-cheese blend, and pico de gallo.
The suggested price is $5.49. That price varies by location. At my local Taco Bell in Los Angeles, the fries cost $5.99.

The Original Nacho Fries
Taco Bell’s regular Nacho Fries feature seasoned fries with a small cup of warm nacho cheese sauce. The chain has reviewed the item in the past.
The permanent status means the fries are now available at all times. The steak version remains available only for a limited time, which is the key difference between the two items.
What to Know
The new Diablo Ranch Steak Nacho Fries are a limited-time item. The regular Nacho Fries are now a permanent menu item.
The suggested price is $5.49, but the Los Angeles location charges $5.99. The source does not describe the final price at other stores.
The permanent status of the regular Nacho Fries is the bigger story here. Limited-time items come and go, but a permanent menu item stays on the menu for good.
For now, the question is simple: which fries will you get next time you stop by? The steak version is a limited-time offer, so grab it while it’s around. The regular fries, meanwhile, are here to stay.
