Test Kitchen Dinner Reservations

Taco Bell is Offering a New Dining Experience Through OpenTable

For the first time ever, Taco Bell is opening the doors of its test kitchen to the public through OpenTable. Through the online restaurant reservation service, a limited number of Taco Bell lovers will be able to book a table at the Taco Bell test kitchen, which is located at the fast food chain's headquarters in Irvine, California.

Those who manage to secure a free reservation for one of 32 seats will be treated to a dinner that features a spin on classic Taco Bell dishes, new creations and never-before-seen products from the chain.

On Cinco de Mayo, Taco Bell is set to release the web address where online reservations can be made for the exclusive feast that will be taking place later this month.
