Kids Meal — calories at a glance
Kids meals look small, but the count depends almost entirely on the build: a single soft taco with chicken and salsa is a modest 340 calories, while adding chips and guacamole as sides brings the plate closer to 900. Use the calculator to assemble exactly what your kid will actually eat — every tortilla, protein, side and dip counts toward the calories shown in the bottom bar.

What moves the numbers
- The chips side is the biggest single add-on for kids at 540 calories — most of the meal's budget in one box.
- Crispy corn tortillas keep the taco light and are an easier portion for small kids than the burrito-size flour tortilla.
- Sofritas works for kids too: same protein count as some meats with a milder calorie load.
- For sodium-conscious parents, skipping chips and queso keeps the meal under 800 mg.
- A kids quesadilla (small tortilla + cheese) is the comfort option; its calories come almost entirely from the tortilla and cheese fat.
- Milk or water instead of a soda is the only zero-calorie upgrade on the menu — everything else adds.
Kids Meal FAQ
How many calories are in a kids meal?
Between roughly 340 calories (single crispy chicken taco) and 900 calories (taco + chips + guacamole). The spread is wide, so count the specific build above.
Are the portions smaller?
The tortillas and proteins use the same serving sizes as the regular menu — the "kid" part is the format and sides, not a discount on calories.
What's the lightest kids build?
One crispy corn tortilla with chicken and fresh tomato salsa, no sides — about 340 calories with 35 g of protein.
How many calories in the kids quesadilla?
A small flour tortilla with cheese runs around 540 calories. Add chicken and it's near 700 before any sides.
Do kids meals count toward daily calories for children?
Children's calorie needs vary widely by age (roughly 1,000–2,000 calories per day). A single kids meal can cover a third to a half of a younger child's daily calories, which is why the per-item counts matter.
