Taco Bell initially launched its breakfast menu in 2014. During the pandemic, however, locations across the country were forced to close their dining rooms and reduce their menus. This meant that breakfast offerings were reduced or even completely removed from some locations.

Fox Business previously reported that Taco Bell brought breakfast back to 90% of its locations starting in mid-September. Fans of morning fast-food options can head to the restaurant chain’s website to find out which locations near them offer breakfast.
