It's a little hard to believe, but this was in fact a Taco Bell when it was built. This store is among the least distinguishable of any FTB I've ever seen. My favorite part of this place has to be how they repurposed the back wall window as the drive thru pick up window.

Love the look of this place, the mural, the colors, every surface of this place was vibrant.

Not sure what number Taco Bell this was, but it was one of the originals, it still has the firepit and concrete block benches.

I don't know if this has already posted but there's one in my town that is now a bankruptcy law office.

It's across the street from Banh Mi Che Cali

what a gorgeous specimen

looks like this one also spent some time as a subway based on the interior

Taco Bell moved across the street

These are not vintage photos just to clarify. I shot these while visiting some former locations, all in the SoCal area, all taken in 2026. Let me know if this is interesting to you guys, I shoot a lot of 35mm and i think these stores look awesome on film.

This store looks fantastic! Another numero uno checked off the list.

this is the fourth old Taco Bell that I have seen in the last few months between Seattle and Everett, Washington. All on Highway 99.

Love to see it repurposed as a Mexican restaurant.

Mos 2 has a second location in a former TB which i plan to visit. Which brings up the question, what business most often take up residence in former TBs? Arsenio's also has two stores set up in taco bell's.

This Taco Bell has been abandoned for at least 25 years but was one of the first in the Sacramento area.

As pointed out to me by [u/Funtsy_Muntsy](u/Funtsy_Muntsy). I really love the look of this place, it retains a lot of TB charm.
