Tacos And Coronas: Here is California's New Taco Bell

Taco Bell Cantina is officially open for business.

NEWPORT BEACH, CA -- Taco Bell Cantina, the alcohol-serving version of the fast-food chain, is officially open for business in Southern California. The Irvine-based fast-food chain opened its Newport Beach Cantina last Friday, offering locally-brewed beer.

The Newport Beach Cantina features an exclusive Taco Bell beer, Twisted Freezes, open kitchen, local artist murals and a walk-up order window -- all in the heart of the Newport Beach Peninsula.

Taco Bell is also partnering up with Huntington Beach-based Four Son’s Brewing to offer Beach Bell, a Mexican-style Amber Lager made with a unique flavor profile to enhance and compliment Taco Bell’s food and flavors.
