About Taco Bell
Taco Bell is a haven for Mexican delicacies such as tacos, quesadillas, burritos, nachos, and other specialty items. Owned by Yum! Brands, Inc. Taco Bell is one of the fastest growing American chains of fast food restaurants. The restaurant operates from 7,072 different locations which are mostly run by independent franchisees and licensees.
The background story of Taco Bell is interesting and inspiring for budding entrepreneurs. The fast-food brand is the brainchild of Glen Bell, who started his first food venture as a hot dog seller in San Bernardino, California. The year was 1948. After witnessing long queues outside a Mexican restaurant called Mitla Café across the street, Bell saw the opportunity and demand for hard-shelled Tacos. He reverse-engineered the recipe and later started selling Tacos and called the venture Taco-Tia.
Later, the name changed from Taco-Tia to El Taco. Eventually, Glen Bell sold the company to his partner and opened the first Taco Bell in Downey in 1962. By 1964, the restaurant also got its first franchise in Torrance. The 100th Taco Bell restaurant was opened by 1965. PepsiCo acquired Taco Bell from Glen Bell in 1978 and the restaurant brand is currently a subsidiary of Yum! Brands which looks after the restaurant business of PepsiCo.

Mexican Cuisine
If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.
Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.
Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.

The Good: Absolutely love the food, the Carne Asada Fries are amazing. The breakfast burritos are huge. Definitely recommend the Colorado Burrito. The Bad: They aren't open 24 hours as their sign says. The wait time can be long even when there aren't many customers. The Ugly: If you are picky about how an establishment looks, don't go inside, use the drive thru. This location at night reminds me of something you would see on "First 48"
(5)Nick R.
Every item I've had on the menu here is delicious so far! I highly recommend their Colorado burrito and throw some green chili sauce in there will make your taste buds melt! sometimes the wait is a little long for a drive thru, but it's worth every minute!
(5)Gem S.
We like the chorizo breakfast burrito and the loaded chicken chimichangas. I took stars off because the food is VERY greasy and the carne asada and chorizo can be VERY chewy. You can expect a long wait time for your food and don't expect them to alter any one dish for you even if you are willing to pay more for it. The Fish Tacos were disgusting and the tostada was very soggy. Overall its not bad if you want a breakfast burrito or if you are ordering chicken as your meat.
(3)Dave A.
Downgraded. Went there today and the lady working there wouldn't sell eggs a la carte to top my enchilade order. They've done this for me dozens of times, never a problem before. She's a total beotch about it too. Says eggs are breakfast, enchiladas are lunch, no can mix. What? To which I replied I'll go somewhere else.
(1)D P.
Brighton is packed with Mexican joints. some really suck but not this one. its my fav Mexican joint in town. prices are good, flavors are great and the portions will fill you up. be warned the seating is limited.
(5)Billy H.
Burrito was nasty. The food wasn't that good. The inside is pretty divey. This place probably tastes good after a case of beer. Should have gotten Taco Bell instead. Actually threw out 3/4 of the burrito it was that bad. Never again.
(1)Mike A.
are you looking for mountain-mex? Its not here, thank god. I'm from San Diego and Colorado is THE hardest place to find real mexican food. Want carne asada, rolled tacos, carnitas, adobo, salsa verde? This is the place. Otherwise, go to mountain jack's burrito shack.
(4)Shawn B.
Best burritos in town. I live in Northglenn and will drive 30 mins each way just to get a couple burritos. I recommend the bacon, egg, cheese, and potato burrito. Throw a little green sauce on it and it's awesome! Beware though, if you don't like greasy food, this place is not for you. Don't expect a fancy dining experience either, this place is designed as a drive-thru, so get your food to go. Colorado burrito is also very good.
(5)Raoul B.
This is the go-to, late-night, Mexican fast-food drive-thru in Brighton. It never really occurs to me to eat here unless I just left a bar, and need some carne asada burrito to soak up some o' that alkyhol. (And christ forbid that I would go to Taco Bell, or, as I like to call it, Caca Hell). These guys can be a little hard to communicate with, even though I speak a smattering of Gringoese, but perserverance pays off, and you drive off into the night (uh, not ME, of course, the, uh designated driver....drives...), clutching your bag of burritos. Get home, and commence to stick yer face into a BIG ol' tube of gloriously greasy, beefy, beany, cheesy, guacamole-y GOODNESS. Slather liberally with that weird, runny green sauce, and chew on your roasted jalapeno for extra bathroom adventures in the morning, and you, my friend, are enjoying life at it's FINEST.
(4)Matt D.
Probably good food if you are drunk.....
(2)Josh K.
Good late night food. I like that they're open 24/7 - not many places around the area are. Food is good to fill the craving for some late night Mexican. The carne asada burritos are pretty good, especially when smothered. The green chili isn't always consistent - sometimes hot, sometimes not, but always good.
(3)Nancy W.
They have good food, I got the bean and cheese burrito all the time. I went there Friday and was very disappointed with the food. I had ate about half of my bean and cheese burrito when I took a bite there was a rock in my food (ouch!) I went back and the young man there said he couldn'tdo anything about it because he wasn't the one who sold it too me... I could not believe it. I will no longer be going there.
(1)Moon L.
I frequent this place at least once a month. Unless you're fluent in Spanish, communication will be just a little difficult. But ordering can be a rather comical experience. Yet overall, the service is very friendly. Love the drive thru even tho the speaker box doesn't always work. The servers will usually just wave you around to order at the window which I don't mind. Last night, I had the carne asada torta (no guac). it was so fresh juicy and amazing. Just melted in my mouth! My son usually craves their two beef taco combination plate and my daughter enjoys their tostada combo plate. I love that they always give plenty of sauces with the meal so you hardly ever have to ask for more. Their carne asada burritos are like nothing else I've ever tasted! Whatever they put it the sauce definitely works( it's probably guac :) ). I have to agree with the previous review when they say its great for those nights when you're a little lopsided and are in need of something good to soak up the nights overindulgence :) I also agree with the mention of their guac. WTH is that stuff? It's definitely not of avocado origin. Don't eat it. Unless it's in the Carne Asada Burrito
(4)Jason Z.
Every time I've gone here, the food has been great. I tried it the first time with everyone around me singing the praises of this place, but tried to go into it without any bias. I have to say, the Taco Rapido fanatics weren't far off. Their beef burritos are fantastic and everyone loves the carne asada fries. Definitely a great place to go if you want some fast quality mexican food at a good price.
(4)Nicole C.
We've come here three times in five days. I think we are officially big fans! Colorado Burrito: SO good! Very much like a California Burrito without the guacamole. I'm sure you could ask for guac to be added. Carne Asada Fries: Heaven! Yummy, carby Heaven! The carne asada is very well seasoned and tender. These guys know what they're doing. Carnitas Taco: Very fresh, but not as flavorful as the steak. Chicken Taco: Just ok, I really wasn't impressed with this. Shrimp Burrito: Hubby said it was very good, not as good as the steak. Super Nachos: Very yummy, it's like the carne asada fries with chips and with beans. Rice & Beans: Flavorful, tasty. I'm not a fan of either of their salsas (or sauces I think they call them). They're just heat without much flavor. I do like their pico, though. The people are very friendly. The line is slow but it is worth the wait. It's a hidden gem in Brighton and I'm so glad to have found it!
(5)Selector S.
No free water is bullshit. Beans and rice are good. Burrito is pretty good too. No free water, no repeat business. Sorry, ill try somewhere else that isn't scummy like that.
(3)Brooke V.
I really love their carne asada fries! One thing though, they're not "rapido". Food takes awhile but it's way worth it. Also, sometimes around 1-5 am... the food is not fresh and i feel as though the cooks don't want to make an effort. Overall though, fries are a must try! Yummy!
(4)Travis A.
Has a decent breakfast burrito but they are super slow. On top of that apparently the last didn't want to sell us a smothered burrito so we had to but a green chili plate in order to smother our own. For the service and the wait it's not worth it.
