While the official grand opening of the first booze-selling Taco Bell was Sept. 22, customers at Taco Bell’s new location in Chicago’s trendy Wicker Park neighborhood were the first to order from the beer, wine and liquor menu during a "soft opening" on Sept. 15. The company announced plans in June to experiment with selling beer, wine, sangria and spiked frozen drinks at new stores that will be branded as "Taco Bell Cantina.” A second location that will sell only beer and wine near San Francisco's AT&T Park is slated to open later this month.
