Taco Bell, the global Mexican-inspired fast-food brand, has opened today in Blanchardstown Centre, its first standalone restaurant location in Ireland. A huge crowd gathered outside the new restaurant from early this morning, with the first 100 customers to enter the store receiving exclusive Taco Bell merchandise.
The Blanchardstown Centre restaurant represents Taco Bell’s largest Irish opening to date, continuing the momentum built by the brand following its successful launch of its first location in Dunshaughlin, Co. Meath in September 2025.
Visitors to Blanchardstown Centre can look forward to Taco Bell’s full Mexican-inspired menu, featuring tacos, burritos, nachos, quesadillas and global fan favourites such as the iconic Crunchwrap Supreme and Crunchy Taco.
Taco Bell’s arrival marks the latest leading international brand to locate in Blanchardstown Centre in the past twelve months, following The North Face, Accessorize, Kiko, The Fragrance Shop & JYSK.
Connor Owens, Chief Executive of Falcon AM, the asset management company of Blanchardstown Centre said, “We are pleased to welcome Taco Bell to Blanchardstown Centre as it opens its first standalone restaurant location in Ireland today. Taco Bell is the latest international brand to establish a presence at Ireland’s premier retail and leisure destination and there are further developments planned throughout 2026. Excitement has been building all week for the new restaurant opening among our customers and we would like to wish the Taco Bell team in Blanchardstown Centre every success for their opening weekend and beyond.”
Commenting on the new restaurant opening, Ian Cranna, General Manager of Taco Bell Europe, said, ““Taco Bell’s opening in Blanchardstown marks another exciting step forward in our rapid expansion across Ireland. In just a few short months, we’ve seen incredible energy from Irish customers, and this new restaurant reflects our commitment to bringing Taco Bell’s bold flavours and signature experience to even more communities.”
