A new Taco Bell, featuring beer and margaritas, is set to open on the Las Vegas Strip this fall.
The Irvine, Calif.-based company announced Tuesday it will be putting its third “Cantina” location, across the street from CityCenter and the Cosmopolitan.
“When we talked about where to establish a flagship store, it didn’t take long to realize that having a presence in the heart of Vegas would undoubtedly create a unique, distinctive and fun destination and experience for Taco Bell fans,” said Taco Bell CEO Brian Niccol in a release.
The two-story restaurant will feature an outdoor patio for al fresco dining, the release said, and serve both beer and Twisted Freezes, its alcohol-infused slushes. The eatery will be open 24 hours.
The Cantina concept, which features alcoholic drinks and an expanded menu in modern decor, was first introduced last year in Chicago and San Francisco.
The store’s hours weren’t immediately made known. A Taco Bell spokesperson did not immediately return requests for comment.
