In March 2014, Taco Bell launched its first-ever breakfast menu and expanded its hours of operations to meet fans' cravings in the AM. Six years later, in March 2020, Taco Bell reminded fans yet again that breakfast burritos were really better left to burrito experts. Since then, Taco Bell has quietly perfected and launched even more beloved breakfast offerings that fans can customize to meet their morning cravings, all packed with iconic Mexican-inspired flavors fans know and love. Today, Taco Bell breakfast is served at 90% of its restaurants nationwide. So whether it's the savory bacon or steak fillings fans crave or the crispy potato vegetarian**** option they love, there's truly a menu item for all.
