The fast food industry has been buzzing with excitement as popular US chains have made their way to the UK in recent years. From Popeyes to Wendy’s, these chains have taken the country by storm. One such brand that has been causing a frenzy is Taco Bell, known for its Mexican-inspired quick service menu featuring tacos, burritos, and quesadillas. While the chain first made its way to the UK in 1986, it unfortunately shut down in the 90s. However, it made a comeback in the 2010s and has now expanded to over 130 branches across the country.
Fans of Taco Bell have taken to social media to express their love for the brand, with some even claiming it to be better than McDonald’s. Its recent launch of new menu items in the UK has only added to the excitement. One of these items is the limited-edition Chipotle Grilled Chicken Burrito, which boasts a new and exciting flavor and is a refreshing lighter option for the summer. Made with grilled chicken, crushed nacho chips, guacamole, and a blend of sauces and seasonings, this burrito has been a hit among customers. It is available for £5.19 on its own, or as part of a meal for £6.99 or a deluxe box for £9.99, which also includes a crunchy taco, fries or nachos, churros with dip, and a regular soft drink.
In addition to the burrito, Taco Bell has also introduced a new Veggie deluxe box, featuring their most popular vegetarian item, the 7-Layer Burrito. Priced at £9.99, this box includes the burrito, Cheesy Black Bean Craving Burrito, churros with dip, a regular drink, and a choice of fries or nachos. The brand has also launched a range of digital deals for its app users, including free items and delivery offers.
But it’s not just Taco Bell that’s making waves in the UK. Dave’s Hot Chicken, another iconic US chain, has just announced plans to open 60 locations across the country. Known for their Nashville-style hot chicken, this brand has already gained a huge following in the US, with celebrities like Drake, Samuel L. Jackson, and Usher investing in the company. The first branch is set to open in London in early 2025, with Azzurri Group, the company behind popular UK brands like Zizzi and ASK Italian, leading the expansion.
Despite having just two chicken items on the menu, Dave’s Hot Chicken has managed to attract a loyal fan base with their delicious tenders and sliders, as well as a variety of sides and customizable spice levels. Customers can choose from no heat to the incredibly spicy ‘Reaper’, which requires a waiver before consumption.
It’s clear that the UK is in for a treat with these new additions to the fast food scene.
