Free Taco Bell Coupons 2012

Taco Bell is the world's largest Mexican-style fast food restaurant chain. Taco Bell advertises their tacos right in the name, but this chain serves much more: burritos, quesadillas, special Grilled Stuft Burritos, nachos, and other specialty items such as the popular Mexican pizza and Crunchwrap Supreme fill out the menu. Taco Bell has two special menus for customers, the "Why Pay More!" Value Menu, featuring inexpensive items like plain tacos and burritos, and a diet menu offering healthier versions of their restaurant classics. Every year, Taco Bell feeds more than 36.8 million hungry people who eat at more than 5,600 restaurants in America alone.

Taco Bell stores are often combined with other food chains, like KFC or Long John Silvers. The idea is to provide customers a wide variety of dining options. Another option for Taco Bell fans is the popular Taco Bell Express series of restaurants: a smaller restaurant with a shorter menu designed to serve customers who are in a hurry. Taco Bell Express stores are in places where people are in a rush to get in and get out, like gas stations, shopping malls, and airport lobbies.

Taco Bell History

Taco Bell had its start in the middle of the 1940s, when restaurateur Glen Bell opened a simple hot dog stand called “Bell’s Drive-In” in California. Around 1950 Bell sold that drive-in and opened a new kind of restaurant selling tacos. He called it “Taco-Tia”. Bell would expand over the years, at one time owning 4 different restaurants named “El Taco” spread across Southern California. Finally, in 1962, Bell sold all of his “El Taco” restaurants to his partner and opened his first “Taco Bell” restaurant. Within just 5 years, the 100th Taco Bell opened, and eleven years later, in 1978, Glen Bell sold each of the more than 800 Taco Bell restaurants to PepsiCo in exchange for cash and a ton of PepsiCo shares.

Pepsi expanded Taco Bell throughout the 1980s, increasing the size of the menu and spending a ton of money marketing Taco Bell with popular movies and TV shows. By 1997, the Taco Bell chihuahua, named Gidget, was the restaurant’s star, with her catchphrase of “Yo quiero Taco Bell.” When that campaign was retired in 2001, Taco Bell launched a new slogan and a new attitude. Their slogan is still “Think outside the bun,” a knock on the majority of their competitions boring burgers-and-fries.

Taco Bell is popular because their prices are decent, their food is good, it is different from normal fast food, and because they are constantly altering their menu to meet customer’s tastes. With a new breakfast menu and Taco Bell breakfast coupons, America’s favorite Mexican fast food restaurant is adding to their customer appeal even more
