On Friday January 31st, 2020 we shared the scuttlebutt that shook (some of) our worlds. And so concludes the magnificent roller coaster ride of when will Taco Bell Cantina open in Columbia Heights. We got our first report at 10:58am from C., “columbia heights taco bell is open, my roommate was just inside the actual restaurant.” Thanks to Tenzin and everyone else for sending the good word. Tenzin notes: “alcoholic drinks are dine-in only!”

Phil with the magic: “It’s true, taco bell lives!” (more…)

Update:

although:

Ian writes: “I heard Taco Bell Cantina was opening at 11 a.m. today.

I went at 10:30 a.m. to try to nab their inaugural Crunchwrap Supreme, but an employee told me they didn’t get everything they needed on their truck last night, so, “if not today, tomorrow.”

STAY TUNED.
