Unlike your typical Taco Bell, Taco Bell cantinas have more of an individual restaurant vibe with unique designs and open kitchens.

They also sell alcoholic beverages like rum, vodka, and tequila cocktails.

Taco Bell also operates urban in-line restaurants that have cantina flair but don’t serve alcohol.

RETRO VIBES

The new location, which is Los Angeles County’s first cantina, will pay tribute to the city’s history with a retro design and feel from the Golden Age of Hollywood.

The building itself, located at 6741 Hollywood Boulevard, was once a popular bookstore frequented by movie stars of the 1930s.

In addition to its retro vibe, the cantina will also feature modern amenities, including five kiosks for ordering and a cinema screen and speaker for DJ parties and other events.

“We are excited to be part of the LA story as we continue to expand our cantina concept,” said Mike Grams, Taco Bell’s President and Global Chief Operating Officer, in a press release.

“These flexible formats bring iconic Taco Bell experiences to our fans across America, made possible through strong partnerships with our franchisees and the best restaurant teams,” he continued.

“Taco Bell Cantinas continue to embody the spirit of community, with our newest Hollywood location offering our Los Angeles guests an immersive, desirable branded experience,” added Brian Cox, owner of C&R Restaurant Group, a Taco Bell franchisee that operates the added new restaurant.
