The opening is a store in the Taco Bell chain that began in 1962, when Glen Bell opened the first restaurant in Downey, California. Bell already had experience in the food business, having sold hot dogs since 1948. Inspired by the popularity of Mexican restaurants, he experimented with taco recipes and created his own version.

Today, Taco Bell has grown into one of the largest fast food chains in the world, with thousands of stores in various countries. It is known for its popular dishes such as Crunchy Tacos, Burritos, and Quesadillas. However, Taco Bell doesn’t just offer Mexican food. The company has adapted its recipes to suit the tastes of the American market, creating what is known as Tex-Mex style.
