The History of Taco Bell
Taco Bell was founded in 1962 in California by Glenn Bell. Its story began in 1946 when he opened Bell’s Drive-In in San Bernardino. Four years later, he added a hamburger stand. In front of this stand, there was a small Mexican food stall that he visited weekly. He observed how there were always long lines of customers enjoying fried tacos.
Glenn became friends with the owner, who taught him how to make tacos. This is how Bell started offering tacos in his business until he decided to embark on an independent venture. In 1952, he partnered with someone to open a taco stand called Taco-Tia, reaching three locations. However, due to his partner’s lack of interest in expanding, he decided to sell his share.

In 1957, he partnered with three people to create El Taco, but he left the project because he preferred to make decisions on his own. Finally, in 1962, with only $4,000, he opened the first Taco Bell, whose menu only had five items: tacos, burritos, beans, tostadas, and chili burger.
Due to the success of his business, Glenn developed a plan to franchise the brand, and a year later, he sold the first franchise in Torrance, California. The business grew so much that by 1967, the chain already had 100 locations. Today, Taco Bell sells over 2 billion tacos annually and has 8,218 locations worldwide.
