1 taco (~78 g) has about 170 calories.
Why estimates miss: Taco Bell Crunchy Taco is a multi-ingredient dish. A generic 'taco' log can't know the seasoned beef's fat, the fried shell, and the cheese, all of which swing the total more than the small size suggests. Generic calorie apps undercount the hidden oil, sauce and portion — CalDesk AI's photo estimate is tuned to catch exactly this.
