Priced at 412 Taco Bell restaurants in 50 states on the same day. The middle 80% of them charge between $6.29 and $7.69, a spread of 22%.
Each bar is the number of restaurants charging that price, and the gold bar holds the median. The last bar gathers everything at that price and above, so one distant outlier cannot flatten the rest of the chart.
The cheapest Steak Quesadilla in the sample is $5.19 in Elk City, OK, and the most expensive is $9.29 in Meriden, CT — 79% more. Both are single restaurants, which is why the headline above uses the middle 80% instead.
