CHICAGO — Taco Bell customers in Chicago can now have beer with their burritos and sangria with their soft tacos.
The chain opened a location that serves wine, beer, sangria and frozen mixed drinks called Taco Bell Cantina in Chicago on Wednesday.
It's a first in the U.S. for Taco Bell, which is owned by Louisville, Kentucky-based Yum Brands Inc.
"Twisted Freezes," which are frozen drinks with rum, tequila or vodka mixed in, are priced between $6.19 and $7.19.
The restaurant will have an open kitchen design and a mural by a local artist. A similar location is scheduled to open in San Francisco.
Taco Bell said the new restaurant concept reflects the "millennial trend of seeking more urban environments." Right now, it says the vast majority of its nearly 6,000 U.S. locations are in suburban areas, with less than 1 percent in urban neighborhoods.
A similar location will open in San Francisco later this month.
