Taco Time Northwest, often written as Taco Time NW, is a family owned chain of about 77 restaurants across Western Washington. It sells quick Mexican style food like Crisp Burritos, soft tacos, taco salads, and Tater Fries, the chain’s name for its tater tots. On a third-party delivery app, a single taco or burrito costs a few dollars, and a combo meal with Tater Fries and a drink costs more. This Taco Time menu guide helps you see what’s on offer and what it costs before you order.
This guide lists the main menu groups: combo meals, burritos, tacos, soft tacos, salads, bowls, sides, desserts, drinks, and seasonal specials. Item names and calories come from the official Taco Time NW menu. The prices come from the Uber Eats listing for the Renton Highlands restaurant at 4114 NE 4th St, Renton, WA, checked on October 20, 2026. Some items are listed without a price because a verified price was not available from that one source.

Combo Meals
Combo meals pair a main item with Tater Fries and a drink. Taco Time NW numbers its combos, so you can order by number at the counter or on the app. The calorie range is wide because you pick the protein and the drink.
| Item | Calories | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Combo #1 Soft Burrito | 614 to 1,254 | $15.99 |
| Combo #2 Crisp Burrito | 460 to 1,053 | $14.19 |
| Combo #3 Soft Taco | 689 to 1,305 | $16.89 |
| Combo #12 Soft Habanero Burrito | 818 to 1,429 | $19.79 |
Other numbered combos exist, like the #4 Two Crisp Tacos, #5 Natural Soft Taco, #6 Veggie Soft Taco, and the #8 and #9 Baja taco combos. They weren’t priced on this one listing, so they’re left out of the table instead of guessed.
Burritos
Burritos are the heart of the menu. The Crisp Burrito is the signature: a flour tortilla rolled with beans, beef, or chicken, then fried until crunchy. Softer, bigger burritos like the Classic come loaded with rice, cheese, and guacamole. Prices start with the cheapest filling, usually pinto bean.
| Item | Calories | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Crisp Burrito | 300 to 350 | $5.69 |
| Soft Burrito | 454 to 551 | $7.49 |
| Classic Burrito | 760 to 836 | $11.29 |
| Soft Habanero Burrito | 658 to 726 | $11.29 |
Tacos
The Crisp Taco is a Taco Time classic. It’s a handmade corn shell filled with your choice of beef, chicken, or pinto beans, plus cheddar, lettuce, and tomato. Baja Tacos add a lighter twist. Soft taco options sit in their own group below.
| Item | Calories | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Crisp Taco | 188 to 236 | $4.19 |
Baja Tacos and the Fish Baja are also on the menu. They weren’t listed with a price on this source, so they aren’t shown with a number here.
Soft Tacos
Soft tacos use a warm flour tortilla instead of a crisp shell. They come with cheddar, ranch dressing, lettuce, and tomato. The Spicy Ranch version adds a little heat.
| Item | Calories | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Soft Taco | 529 to 602 | $8.39 |
| Spicy Ranch Soft Taco | 559 to 632 | $8.39 |
Salads
Salads are a lighter pick. The Tostado Salad comes in a crisp tortilla bowl with beans, cheese, and your protein. The Taco Salad is built to order, so its price depends on what you add.
| Item | Calories | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Tostado Salad | 733 to 830 | $10.89 |
| Taco Salad | 386 to 484 | Priced by add-ons |
Bowls
Bowls skip the tortilla and pile everything over rice and beans. The Chicken Fit-Hit Bowl is the lighter option at under 500 calories. Seasonal bowls show up too, like the one in the Limited Time Only group below.
| Item | Calories | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Chicken Fit-Hit Bowl | 486 | $10.69 |
Sides
Tater Fries are the star side. They’re seasoned tater tots, sold in small, medium, and large, and the price starts at the small size. Nachos come loaded, and the Spicy Tater Fries add a kick. A few plain sides like beans and rice round things out.
| Item | Calories | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Tater Fries | 235 to 658 | from $3.79 |
| Spicy Tater Fries | 235 to 658 | from $3.79 |
| Nachos | 1,096 to 1,256 | $9.19 |
Simple sides from the official menu include pinto beans (260 calories), seasoned rice (215 calories), tortilla chips (172 calories), and a cheese quesadilla (257 calories). These weren’t priced on this listing.
Desserts
Dessert keeps it short and sweet. The Churro is made by Alberto’s, a family company in Edmonds, Washington. Crustos, strips of fried tortilla dusted with cinnamon sugar, are another longtime favorite, and some stores carry Molly Moon’s ice cream treats.
| Item | Calories | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Churro | 248 | $2.49 |
Drinks
Drinks include fountain soft drinks and other cold options. The fountain drink is the main choice with a meal.
| Item | Calories | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Fountain soft drink (pickup) | varies by choice | $3.49 |
Limited Time Only
Taco Time NW rotates seasonal items through the year. As of the check date, the Honey Chipotle Crunch Bowl was the featured special: chicken over rice and black beans with greens, fried chickpeas, pumpkin seeds, cotija cheese, and a sweet-and-smoky dressing.
| Item | Calories | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Honey Chipotle Crunch Bowl | 838 to 1,031 | $9.69 |
Specials change often. Past favorites have included the Taco Burger, Chicken Caesar Soft Taco, and Take n’ Bake Crisp Burritos. Check the app to see what’s running now.
Platters
Platters are sit-down-style plates. They usually pair a main like an enchilada or burrito with sides such as beans and rice. The menu lists options like the Fiesta Platter and Enchilada Platter. Platter prices weren’t available from the single source used here, so they aren’t listed with a number.
Mini Time Meals
Mini Time Meals are smaller combos for a lighter appetite or a smaller budget. Each comes with a small Tater Fries and a small drink. The calorie counts below are from the official menu.

|---|---|
| Combo #13 Crisp Taco | 423 |

Kids Meals
Kids Meals give younger eaters a smaller portion with a small Tater Fries and a drink. Common picks are a kids crisp burrito or a mini soft taco. Ask your local store for the current kids options and prices.

Soups
Soup is a seasonal, warm-weather-off kind of item. The menu has listed Corn Chowder (143 calories) and White Chicken Chili, which also shows up inside the lighter combo meals. Availability depends on the store and the season.
What makes Taco Time NW different
Here’s the part many menu pages miss. There are two separate businesses that both use the Taco Time name.
Taco Time Northwest is independent. It runs only in Western Washington and is owned by the Tonkin family. A separate company, Kahala Brands, owns the national TacoTime chain that operates in other states and Canada. Except for the Taco Time stores in Wenatchee, the two are not connected, so their menus and prices are not the same.
That’s why this guide sticks to Taco Time NW. It also explains a few name quirks. The NW chain calls its tater tots Tater Fries, while the national brand still calls them Mexi-Fries. The NW menu does not serve breakfast, so stores open at 10 a.m. with the full lunch and dinner menu.
A short history of Taco Time NW
Frank Tonkin Sr. opened the first Taco Time Northwest in White Center, near Seattle, in 1962. His plan was simple: fresh food and friendly service. That first restaurant still stands today.
The chain added its first drive-thru in 1978. It opened its 75th restaurant in Sequim in 2005. In 2012 it began composting, and today most of its dining-room waste is compostable. The Tonkin family still runs the company, now in its fourth generation, with Robby and Chris Tonkin as co-presidents. After more than 60 years, Taco Time NW has around 77 locations across Western Washington.
Hours, ordering, and rewards
Most Taco Time NW restaurants open at 10 a.m. and close between about 9 p.m. and 10 p.m. The Renton Highlands store used for prices here runs 10 a.m. to 9:45 p.m. Hours change by location, so check your local store first.
You can order a few ways. Walk in or use the drive-thru, order ahead at order.tacotimenw.com or in the Taco Time NW app, or use a delivery app like Uber Eats or DoorDash. Delivery apps add their own markup and fees, so in-store prices are usually lower. The app also has a rewards program and gift cards, and the chain offers catering for groups.
Nutrition and dietary notes
Taco Time NW posts calories on its menu and shares a full nutrition guide on its website. If you track what you eat, that guide is the best source for fat, sodium, and allergen details.
For lighter meals, look at the salads, the bowls, and the Light combo. Vegetarians can build tacos and burritos with pinto beans or veggies instead of meat. The chicken is 100 percent white meat, a change the chain made years ago. Kitchens share fryers and prep space, so if you have a serious allergy, tell the staff and check the nutrition guide before you order.
