This Historic Taco Bell was the 7th one that Glen Bell built in 1967. It closed in 2021. In 2023 it became a home to San Diego-based taco chain, The Taco Stand (purveyors of my favorite Tijuana-style tacos like the ones I grew up eating on trips to Mexico). This Taco Bell was a landmark in Laguna Beach not just because you could grub down cheap tacos and burritos after a day at the beach, but because it was the only reliable public restroom in the area. The building today is hardly recognizable, except for what is left of one of the window arches.
