As a Taco Bell fan I can confirm that the company has opened thee UK
outlets, not one.

They are located at: Lakeside Shopping Centre, Thurrock; Eastgate
Shopping Centre, Basildon; Arndale Shopping Centre, Manchester.

I thank you.


Well, having won the franchise wars, it's only natural that they get
first pick of all the glittering locations. (I'll exempt the Mancunian
branch from that.)



What I find difficult to believe is that, while the Old El Paso range
of Tex/Mex food sells very strongly in British supermarkets, people
haven't taken to Taco Bell at all. The previous UK incarnation of the
chain did poorly and all the outlets closed after a few years.

If only three new ones have been opened in the last two years, it is
probably a sign that Taco Bell isn't taking off - again.
