The History of Taco Bell

Glen Bell founded Taco Bell in 1962 in Downey, California. He started with a simple idea: bring Mexican-inspired food to American customers quickly and affordably. His first item was the Crunchy Taco, still on the menu today, more than 60 years later. The brand grew fast. Taco Bell reached 100 locations by 1967 and went public in 1970. PepsiCo acquired the chain in 1978, which fueled international expansion. Through the 1980s and 1990s, Taco Bell introduced some of its most iconic items, the Nachos BellGrande, the Chalupa, and the Gordita. The Crunchwrap Supreme launched in 2005 and became one of the best-selling fast-food items of the decade.

The 2010s brought digital transformation. Taco Bell launched mobile ordering in 2014 and delivery in 2015. The brand also became a cultural force, the Doritos Locos Taco sold 100 million units in its first ten weeks after launching in 2012. The Mexican Pizza returned permanently in 2022 after a massive fan campaign. Today, Taco Bell serves over 2 billion customers every year across more than 8,000 locations worldwide. It remains one of the most visited fast-food restaurants in the United States, and one of the few that genuinely earns fan loyalty, not just foot traffic.
