Taco Bell to Open in Downtown Boston | Eater Boston

"Coming to 74 Summer St. in Downtown Crossing, I learned that Taco Bell — which has a surprisingly small Boston footprint (its only actual Boston location is in West Roxbury, plus one in Cambridge and a few more farther out) — will take over a former Subway space. The mega-chain is known for hybrid, pseudo‑Mexican menu items like the cheesy gordita crunch (cheese sandwiched between soft and hard taco shells) and unusual substitutions such as using chicken for a taco shell, and it’s built a serious following (you can even get married at a Taco Bell in Las Vegas). It’s also one of the more vegetarian‑friendly fast‑food restaurants and plans to test a full vegetarian menu this year; several locations serve alcohol, though a proposed booze-filled Davis Square spot never materialized. Taco Bell has not announced a timeline for the downtown opening." - Dana Hatic
