When you first think of Taco Bell, fine dining isn’t usually what comes to mind. Let’s face it. The Mexican-inspired fast food chain is considered some of the most addicting junk food in America. However, Nevada is home to a truly unique Taco Bell restaurant that will make you rethink your preconceptions about this beloved chain. This place just proves that everything is better in Nevada—even Taco Bell!
The most unique Taco Bell you've ever seen opened less than two years ago in Las Vegas. Officially referred to as "Taco Bell Cantina", it looks like this classic fast food restaurant got a serious makeover! Featuring snazzy decor, your favorite Taco Bell dishes, and even alcoholic slushies, this is about to become your favorite place to grab a quick bite.
The Taco Bell Cantina is located near Planet Hollywood on the Las Vegas Strip. It's the 7,000th Taco Bell location, but the cantina represents a huge change in the way this famous fast food chain is branding themselves. This place is far from your average Taco Bell restaurant, that's for sure.
For one, the cantina is home to a giant wall of different delicious slushie flavors. The slushie taps include iconic flavors like Baja Blast, Lemonade, and Pina Colada.
But most importantly, you can choose to add shots of tequila, rum, vodka, or whiskey to any of them! And of course, you can even take your alcohol-infused drink out onto the Strip.
The cantina definitely fits into the heavy night-life atmosphere of the Las Vegas Strip. The restaurant more resembles a night club than a Taco Bell, including a space for DJ's, VIP lounges, an open-kitchen designs, giant televisions, and local artwork hanging from the walls.
Don't worry, there are certain things that have definitely stayed the same. All of your favorite Taco Bell dishes are available at the cantina. Crunchwraps, burritos, Doritos tacos, they have all of the classics. They do offer some new, shareable dishes such as Chicken Tenders, Spicy Bacon & Ranch Smothered Potatoes, and Homestyle Nachos.
The cantina even boasts some fancy new tech to make your experience as enjoyable as possible. You can order from the counter or from a tablet to cut down on wait time. A large screen in the restaurant lets you know when your order is ready.
Although there are other Taco Bell Cantina locations in San Francisco, Chicago, and Austin, the Las Vegas location is the newest and the only one that's open 24 hours a day. Stop by during your next adventure on the Strip and you can officially say you've been to the most unique Taco Bell in the world.
