Making Mealtime Meaningful: Discover how we're giving back with the 12T Cares program →

Taco Bell has been making changes recently – and not just to their menu. Apparently, there are changes coming to their locations as well, as they work to open up 1,000 new locations globally.

One of these new locations will even come fitted with a fire pit and a game area!

Most of us are probably familiar with the classic Taco Bell restaurants which have a drive-thru and a small indoor dining area, but that is changing. Back in 2015, a new concept was born: the Taco Bell Cantina restaurant, which doesn’t have a drive-thru and it’s made more for urban areas.

Of course, it hasn’t always been so cut and dry – since the start of the pandemic, Taco Bell has put a bit more emphasis on drive-thrus and its “Go Mobile” restaurants. However, trying to keep up with the ever-changing times, Taco Bell has gone through many changes and it’s not done doing so.

Earlier this year, Taco Bell did open up a new drive-thru Cantina restaurant in Danville, CA, which is the first of its kind. Besides having better drive-thru lanes, this new Taco Bell location also has a fire put, as well as a game area, which makes for a more pleasant outdoor dining setting for its customers. Beyond that, there are still some changes planned for this Danville Taco Bell. When restrictions allow, there are plans to bring a full bar to the Danville restaurant.

Taco Bell released a statement in which it confirmed that even in face of the current pandemic, it has plans to go ahead with other restaurants like the Danville one, as well as digital-only restaurants. After all, the sound of a full bar Taco Bell location does have a nice ring to it.
