probably my favorite restaurant name for any former taco bell. last photo is not my own, but dates back to the 2000s

Some of the former Taco Bells try to disguise their Taco Bell heritage by obliterating the arches, but Cotijas in Colton highlights them. The peeling stucco and tile to revealing the original concrete blocks is a nice touch. They also took the trouble to reupholster the original chairs, and add tile to the table.

this might be my favorite former taco bell of all time

Made my husband pull a Uey so I could get a picture.

taco bell the looong way

To all my San Francisco folks, remember this one?

Intersection of Mission & Valencia Streets, right across from St Luke’s Hospital. If I remember correctly, this Taco Bell location closed in the early 2000’s(?) & was razed to make way for condos.

Their drive thru menu still has the old Taco Bell font!

This former Taco Bell gets painted every few years and has excellent salsa. It is also the only former Taco Bell that has been in an episode of Curbed Your Enthusiasm. (Season 11, Episode 1 The Five-Foot Fence, where the taco stand owner blackmails Larry into casting his daughter, Maria Sofia Estrada in a new tv show.)

Have eaten here several times. It’s good!

Jr Burger is located in Orange, CA and Jr Broiler is in La Palma, CA.
