Default Taco Bell to serve liquor at limited stores

Just when you thought your stomach and colon couldn't take any more, Taco Bell is going to start serving beer at a limited number of stores. they're also looking at a massive expansion of stores.

Demolition Man was right, now is the start of the Fast Food Wars

But fellas, its all good. Now instead of taking your girl out on date night to an expensive restaurant with candle light and soft music. You can take her to the Taco Bell and eat $6.00 Burritos with beer and listen to elevator versions of your favorite 80's tunes. Then you can go home and race for the border . . . . (toilet)

I have been to the Taco Bell Cantina in Las Vegas.

Would return! Booze and tacos while already drunk is pretty sweet.

This is exactly my thoughts, Chalupas and beer were a great find.

Was one in Calgary, perhaps briefly, at the old Penny Lane Mall.

Sweet, I love grabbing a beer when I go to Mucho Burrito. Not sure how it's taste alongside a fast food taco, but constantly it goes with everything else so we'll, I'll try it

How many Taco Bell's are left in the city? I only see them in malls now. I assume Mexican fact food dining isn't a favorite amongst Calgarians as there seems to be less Taco Time's a compared to what there used to be in the 80's.

I was sad when the one in Midnapore closed. Only location somewhat near my place. The cheesey gordita crunch was freakin awesome. Such a good hangover cure.

I'm investing in American Standard.

The toilets at these places are going to have to be upgraded to industrial standards.

Everything at Taco Bell tastes like warm melted plastic. At least you don't need to seek out a toilet 15 minutes after eating at Taco Time.

I wonder how this works for licensing the establishment. Do they need a separate area (like McDonalds playground for adults) to serve alcohol? Presumably the rest of the store still needs to be family friendly and accept minors.

booooooo

Taco Time gives you less taco for your buck, and it's flavourless compared to Bell.
