Taco Bell suddenly taking over Toronto and it's coming to a new neighbourhood

Taco Bell is on quite the expansion path in Toronto lately, opening its latest location on Nov. 2, and another is already on the way.

I'll be the first to admit that I've spent much of my adult life as a Taco Bell hater. Before you get out your pitchforks, I've recently come around to the quasi-Mexican fast food chain. Nowadays, there's seldom a Saturday night that doesn't end with my hands covered in Fire Sauce.

Conveniently, my Taco Bell awakening has coincided with an evident expansion push from the chain's Canadian contingent. Just last week, a new location opened at St. Clair and Bathurst, bringing the city's total tally up to 17. Now, yet another is gearing up to open.

I'm not trying to say that Taco Bell is specifically expanding into Toronto because I recently decided to change my tune about the chain and all of its hedonistic delights, but you have to admit the timing is a little convenient, no?

According to building permit applications, the latest Taco Bell location opening in Toronto will add to the city's relatively thin east-side footprint.

According to the application, pending inspection, Taco Bell will begin to set up shop at 650 Dundas St. E., a recently completed complex that is currently also home to a Tahini's location. 

There's no word yet on when Taco Bell's new Dundas East location will open, but if the recent trend is anything to go on, Toronto may just be able to expect even more "Live Mas" locations in the future.
