Taco Bell was founded by Glen Bell, who first opened a hot dog stand called Bell's Drive-In in San Bernardino, California in 1948. In 1951, he opened a second stand, Bell's Hamburgers and Hot Dogs, in the same city.

After several iterations and partnerships, Bell opened the first Taco Bell in Downey, California, in 1962.
