A boozy Baja Blast is coming to a new Taco Bell location this year.
On Oct. 15, Taco Bell announced the opening of several new Live Más Cafés, including a standalone location in Las Vegas that will serve up an alcoholic Baja Blast. Live Más Cafés are a specialty drink-only concept located in nearly 40 Taco Bell restaurants in the U.S.
The new Las Vegas Live Más Café will be located in a shipping container adjacent to the Las Vegas Taco Bell Cantina on Las Vegas Boulevard. In addition to the cafe's 20 specialty drinks, the location will offer a Boozy Mountain Dew Baja Blast, Strawberry Passionfruit Refresca Rush and Cold Bew Cinnatini, according to a news release. Exclusive Taco Bell merchandise will also be available at the location. The cafe,
according to a news release, is set to open later this fall.
Alcoholic drinks aren't new to the Taco Bell brand. Several Taco Bell Cantina restaurants, which offer a more upscale experience, feature alcoholic options, including beer and wine. The first alcohol-selling Taco Bell Cantina opened in Chicago in 2015, according to previous USA TODAY reporting. A complete list of Taco Bell Cantina locations can be found on the Taco Bell website.
Here's what we know, so far, about the new Taco Bell Live Más Cafés.
