Taco Bell Cantina: what it is and where
A Taco Bell Cantina is the brand’s urban format with a bar and, in its words, a unique menu and upscale design; the nutrition menu carries 200 beer, wine and spirit records for it, no ordering menu read carried the bar, and the brand’s locator is the only list of Cantinas it publishes.

What a Cantina is, in the brand’s words
Where they are
The brand’s own Cantina locator is a search box, not a list, so this site prints no count of Cantinas and no addresses it did not read; the locator is linked in the sources and is the only list the brand publishes. What the reads do show is the format’s footprint: 17 of the 452 restaurant pages read list no drive-through, in Washington, the District of Columbia (seven), Las Vegas, Nevada (two), Yorktown Heights, New York, Saugus, Massachusetts, Alexandria, Virginia, New York, New York, Eugene, Oregon, Boston, Massachusetts, Arlington, Virginia and Bronx, New York, which is the urban pattern the franchise page names as Cantina/Inline, though a page without a drive-through is not by itself a Cantina and this site does not call one so.
What a Cantina sells that a restaurant does not
The nutrition menu keeps three sections for it: 200 beer, wine and spirit records, eleven records in a Cantina Menu section and twelve in a Las Vegas Cantina section. Everything else on a Cantina board is the standard menu, priced by that restaurant like any other; none of the 452 ordering menus read carried a bar, because the page a restaurant serves is its drive-through and pickup menu.
The bar section runs from Heineken 0.0 (12 oz) at 70 calories to Elysian Space Dust IPA (24 oz) at 470, and no record in it carries an allergen or ingredient statement. The Cantina Menu section is Mad Tasty Grapefruit Sparkling Water, Mad Tasty Unicorn Tears Sparkling Water, Mad Tasty Watermelon Kiwi Sparkling Water, Mad Tasty Yuzu Citrus Sparkling Water, Mtn Dew Baja Blast Freeze (16 oz), Mtn Dew Baja Blast Freeze (20 oz), Prosecco Sparkling Wine (350 mL), Red Wine (6.3 fl oz), Rum (80 proof), Tequila (80 proof) and Vodka (80 proof), and the Las Vegas section is that one restaurant’s own list.
Prices
None. This site prints only prices it read, and no Cantina bar menu was among the reads, so no beer, wine or Twisted Freeze carries a figure here. The standard lines at a Cantina are priced on its own ordering menu, and the franchise page explains why one restaurant’s price is not another’s.
The rules that differ at a Cantina
Two, on the pages read: no EBT, in the help center’s words, and no alcohol under 21, in the locator’s. Hours are the restaurant’s own, as everywhere; the hours page has the reads.
