Yep, in one of these old looking buildings:



There was a somewhat similar looking building ACROSS the street (I think it's actually still there) that was an older taco place (Pedro's I think) that was later Lyman White's Buffalo Wings Express.

I was then subjected to much ridicule and heavy insults as everyone in the group claimed that I must have drunk away all of my memory cells because there was never a Taco Bell there.


Go make a big group text and tell all of them they're complete fricking morons - because yes, there was a Taco Bell there.

Yep, it was about to get demolished, so they towed it to the corporate headquarters.

As soon as I got the second confirmation reply, best believe I let that fly! They are currently still in semi denial but that won't last.

Pedro's was the name. We still laugh about our shenanigans at that place.

Yes, there was a Taco Bell there. Garfield and Highland I believe. The value meals caused a many bad morning. $.79 tacos, $.89 mini quesadilla, $.99 bean burritos.

As others said, it caught on fire and I don't think they ever reopened it after that. I drove by it the day it burned, right after they put out the fire.

Pretty sure Jose Vargas threw someone into a window at that Taco Bell and shattered it

There was definitely a Taco Bell over there. It was located about where the CVS on Highland is now. That place got some business. The line getting in was a mile long on Friday and Saturday nights. Then it burned down. I was surprised it wasn't rebuilt.

Yes there was. As a pledge I had to recite the 59 cent menu for this one active in the house, then he would give us pledges money to go get him Taco Bell as he stumbled back drunk from Murphy's.
