Taco bell was found on March 21, 1962 by Glen Bell. It was made because to offer a unique, fast-food alternative to hamburgers by capitalizing on the popularity of crispy tacos he observed at a local Mexican restaurant, the Mitla Cafe, eventually creating his own crunchy taco recipe to sell. Bell adapted the popular hard-shelled taco, previously sold by the Mitla Cafe.  These photos are Photos of the back than taco bell when it was first found.
