Taco Bell To Return To Boston

BOSTON, MA — If you're one of those folks who know exactly where the closest Taco Bell is to Boston and lament the shuttering of the Taco Bell that once was on Comm Ave near Kenmore Square, well good news for you: The old Subway location on Summer Street is set to become a Taco Bell, according to a sign in the window.

This comes after higher-end, high tech, alcohol serving Taco Bell Cantina locations, have popped up in cities from Chicago, San Francisco to Las Vegas, and Austin, Texas. Last year, the chain indicated they planned to open as many as 350 new locations in the next five years, mostly in urban areas, such as New York -and, yes, Boston.

No word on whether this location will be a Cantina. And no word yet on an opening date. Patch reached out to Taco Bell, but they did not immediately return request for comment. The internal jobs posting indicate the company is hiring for all positions, from manager to part-time team member.

In the meantime, if you're looking to get your South of the Border fix there's a Bell at 100 Cambridgeside Pl in Cambridge, or head to Revere, Everett or West Roxbury or Quincy.

Or if Doritos inspired goodness isn't your thing? You could just go to one of Boston's many mouth watering local taco joints, a few of the favorites:

• El Pelon, Fenway, Brighton
• Chilacates, JP
• Casa Verde Taco Bar, JP
• Taquería Jalisco, Bennington Street
• Angela's Cafe, Lexington St.
• Taco Mex, Maverick Sq
• Villa Mexico, Water Street
• Amelias, Cleveland Circle
• Habanero Mexican Grill, Allston
• Maria's Taqueria, Tremont Street

And while we're at it. Gotta favorite? Let us know:

Bad news? We missed National Taco Day.
