So, where did Taco Bell come from? We’re here to unwrap the history behind this popular fast-food spot.

The Beginnings of Taco Bell

Taco Bell first opened its doors in 1962, and it was all thanks to a man named Glen Bell. But guess what? It didn’t start with tacos; it began with a hot dog stand! Yes, you read that right. Glen Bell started with hot dogs before he moved on to create the taco haven we all know and love today.

After experimenting and perfecting his taco recipe, Glen Bell opened the very first Taco Bell in Downey, California. The locals loved it, and the rest is history. From one hot dog stand to over 7,000 Taco Bell locations around the world, it’s been quite the journey!
