Taco Bell is located at 563 N Greenbush Rd, Rensselaer, NY 12144, just a short stroll from campus. Its long menu offers many options. The company’s recent promotions of Luxe Boxes may give you the most bang for your buck. Taco Bell offers an extensive Cravings Value Menu with items under $3 each. While this is a great price for a pick-me up snack, their Luxe Boxes may keep you full for longer. There are currently four Lux Boxes available, one of which is only available online. These boxes range from $5 to $9 and contain a drink, chips with nacho cheese, and two to three entree items, depending on the box. They also offer up-charges for specialty drinks in the box. This box is sure to serve more like a meal and may even be shareable with friends. If ordering through the app while still on campus, the food is sure to be cooking, if not ready by the time you get to Taco Bell. Is it a good value? I’m going to breakdown the Supreme Luxe Box for this example. It comes with a medium fountain drink, a chalupa
supreme with chicken, a beefy 5-layer burrito, a crunchy taco, and chips with nacho cheese. A medium drink is $2.79, a chapula supreme with chicken is $6.19, a beefy 5-layer burrito is $4.19, a crunchy taco is $1.89, and chips with nacho cheese are $2.59. This means that the Supreme Luxe Box is valued at $17.65 while only costing customers $7. This is a huge deal for college students. With Taco Bell being conveniently located near HVCC, do a glance at their combo and box offers. Be sure to download the Taco Bell app to earn rewards and order online exclusive menu items.
