Glen Bell opened his first Taco Bell March 21, 1962 at 7126 Firestone Blvd. in Downey. On Wednesday, Taco Bell celebrated the chain's 50 years at its Irvine headquarters. http://www.ocregister.com/articles/bell-345567-taco-turns.html?pic=1 Time for a Meximelt and a Chalupa!
Favorite item at Taco Bell?? I dont order them anymore, but I used to love the Mexican Pizza thing. Just two tostadas stacked on each other but thought it was good. Then I went through a soft taco phase. And then a 7-layer burrito phase. Nowadays I really dig the Meximelt, but no one ever orders it! It nuts that so many people dont know about it, but it's rad. I still dog the 7-layer (add chicken).
