My Experience at Taco Bell - The King of Quick Mexican-inspired fare

It's no secret that Taco Bell opens its welcoming doors for lunch and dinner, and in some select locations, I was even able to grab a breakfast bite. What strikes me the most about this chain is how they have managed to master the art of dishing out quick yet delicious Mexican-inspired dishes.

Fun fact you might not expect about Taco Bell: it didn't even start as a Mexican food joint. The founder, Glen Bell, initially started with a hot dog stand in San Bernardino, California, back in 1948. Interestingly, he had to witness long queues at a Mexican restaurant right across the street from his stand. Seeing this, he eventually copped a lesson in taco-making from the owners of the Mexican joint and kicked off his new stand in 1951. The first Taco Bell, as we know today, opened its doors in 1962, in Downey, California.
