The American chain has landed and we have a first look for youA sneak peek at Taco Bell

Northern Ireland’s very first Taco Bell is set to open next week and we got in for a sneak peek ahead of opening day.

It is located at Applegreen’s Lisburn North location on the M1 and will open at 11am on Monday, May 18.

The American chain has become famous for its Mexican-inspired food. They have the likes of tacos, burritos and nachos on their menu to choose from.

The restaurant comes with self-service ordering machines and offers a sit in and takeaway service.

There are a range of meals that come with their seasoned fries and a drink. Meals include Volcano Burrito, Beefy Melt Burrito and the popular Crunchwrap Supreme.

There are also desserts on the menu if you fancy a little sweet treat. You can pick up churros, which come with a caramel dip, a caramel apple empanada and cinnamon twists.

We tried out a few different items while we were there and put the new fast-food chain to the test. We picked up a chicken crunchwrap supreme, a beef taco, a crispy chicken burrito, fries and churros. The meals here start from £7.99 and can be customised in whatever way you like.

Applegreen currently operates three Taco Bell outlets in the Republic of Ireland and 10 Taco Bells at its Welcome Break business in the UK.

The new Taco Bell restaurant at Lisburn North, which will serve customers seven days a week, from 11am to 10 pm, is being opened by Applegreen as part of a partnership with the Mexican-inspired restaurant chain across the UK and Ireland.
