First-of-its-kind Taco Bell concept coming to MN



Here's a mock up of what the  bathrooms will look like.

Less total footprint, more drive through lanes (which is in demand), an overall optimized experience. Why not?

Pretty good idea. Taco bell lobbies are always gross anyway.

What if that was intentional - revamp Taco Bell and bring back the Mexican Pizza as a zinger to get people in

Because it will be ran by a crew of three teenagers.  So wait time will be the same as before.  Just more lanes.

Original mission style building and 59/79/99 cent menu was peak Taco Bell.

Wonder if any will be located in urban areas?

Every once in a while I can con them into making me an Enchirito but no black olives and no Mexican Pizza

2 people upstairs to cook it all?  FML; I expect a 15 minute wait if these go nationwide.

That's what I was thinking.  How am I going to push all the cash registers off the counter and throw napkin holders at the staff when they give me 2 sauce packets instead of the three I ordered.

Never had Taco Bell so I won't get to experience this either.  Not disappoint.

Meh.  There was a McDonalds down in Miami that had the drive-thru lane separated from the actual restaurant and all your food came out to you on a conveyor belt back in the 80's.  And Taco Viva was a hundred times better than Taco Bell.

I am surprised with the legalization of recreational weed that they haven't brought back the Messican Pizza.

They haven’t had anything that doesn’t cause explosive diarrhea since 1977.

So the buildings will cost 3x as much and probably need more maintenance than current ones. I wonder where they'll make up for it. ??

Oh right, they will increase the price of their crappy food and then people won't buy there anymore.

Can I short taco bell stock?

Do they put the food in a pneumatic tube, like a bank?

Damn I guess it's been much MUCH longer since I ate Taco Bell than I thought.  I had no idea they got rid of the Mexican Pizza.  That was my go to food there.

Being in MN , it has the added benefit of being harder to loot when there are riots now that it is a story up.

Yep, it’s crazy when something like this happens and you think to yourself. Why did it take them this long to come up with this idea. I think this is going to be game changing.

Pretty hard to hold up one of these if you never see an actual face. An up-armored version will be along shortly to some locations.

How do the hard shell tacos survive being whisked through the tube by magnets and/or hot air? It’s all fun and games until the  food door opens to an avalanche of jumbled taco fixins.

Or they can serve 5x the people in the drive driving revenue 5x.

I can see it MUCH more pre-preped by a factory (even more soo then what gets shipped).



This idea tho looks like it would take up MORE of a footprint vs where fast food typically slide into parts of a stripmall type center that plans for anchor store with a few side shops and maybe 2/3 drive through lots....

My first thought, not exactly original unless they're the first to put food though the delivery system.


It does look like a smart design to increase drive through flow through.
