At Taco Bell, we’ve had innovation on our mind since Glen Bell started serving tacos at the first location in 1962 in Downey, California.
Since then, we’ve grown to be a culture-centric, lifestyle brand that provides craveable, affordable Mexican-inspired food with bold flavors. Not only do we provide breakthrough value, we offer quality ingredients and are the first QSR restaurant to offer American Vegetarian Association (AVA)-certified menu items.
We provide educational opportunities and serve the community through our nonprofit organization, the Taco Bell Foundation, which has awarded over $155 million in grants and scholarships, focused on education and career readiness. Since 2006, we have supported over 2,000 artists and bands with our Feed the Beat program by providing touring musicians with $500 in Taco Bell gift cards and boosting their exposure through events, national commercials and social media… and most recently, launched the program in the UK!
Outside of our restaurants, fans can access Taco Bell through our app, where rewards members can earn free food, get early access to new product launches, and unlock much more. Taco Bell became the first QSR to launch a mobile app in our U.S. restaurants for both drive-thru and dining orders. Taco Bell has been named as one of TIME’s 100 Most Influential Companies in 2023, awarded Entrepreneur Magazine’s Franchise of the Year for the past five years, and featured in Fast Company’s Most Innovative Companies in 2023 and 2024.
