IRVINE, CA - Taco Bell is out here proving that dreams do come true. The fast food chain recently announced that it plans to open its own hotel and resort this August, aptly titled: The Bell. Located in Palm Springs, California, it’s sure to be a feast for the senses. Although it was relatively quiet on the sneak peek front, Taco Bell recently released a statement that allowed eager consumers to see what might await them at The Bell, including a few fresh produce-forward goodies.
“Let’s be honest, food is the best part of traveling. A lot of effort and homework goes into finding out the best places to eat near where you are staying. But, with The Bell, we’ve thought of everything for you,” said Executive Chef, Rene Pisciotti. “From welcome beverages to room service build-your-own breakfast tacos and surprises throughout, many of which feature local ingredients like our Horchata-Date Smoothie, we’re curating the ultimate Taco Bell food experience.”
Other menu items include the Avocado Toast-ada, served on local multigrain toast with avocado, breakfast radish, chipotle seasoned sorghum, and diablo puffs; and the Cheddar Club, made with hand-breaded crispy chicken, jalapeño bacon, avocado, sharp cheddar, lettuce, tomato, and aioli, served with Nacho Fries.
For those of us who can’t make it to Palm Springs this summer, Taco Bell released a recipe to satiate our hunger: Chip Chilaquiles served with charred tomatillo salsa, Mexican crema, queso fresco, pico, and a fried egg.
Those lucky enough to score a spot at The Bell—although I believe all of the spots are already taken, to my utter sadness—will also have access to all manner of Taco Bell-themed memorabilia as they lounge pool-side.
