BROOKLYN WEEKLY, FEBRUARY 23, 2020
BY ROSE ADAMS
It’s the Taco Bell of the ball!
Hungry revelers will soon be able
to hit the dance floor with a Double
Cheesy Gordito Crunch in hand,
when the festive fast food chain Taco
Bell opens a new storefront that
serves booze and dance beats alongside
its signature Mexican eats, at
Coney Island’s Surf Avenue this
summer.
The new eatery on the corner of
W. 12th Street plans to be open until 2
am on weeknights and 4 am on weekends,
boasting a 10-by-10-foot dance
floor, and serving up beer, wine, and
sangria, and liquor-infused slushies.
Some community members have
expressed concern about the boozy
fast-food restaurant’s close proximity
to PS 90, where elementary-aged
youngsters will attend class just a
quarter-mile away from the rumfilled
slushie and Beefy Fritos Burrito
emporium.
“Those kids will wind up in that
Taco Bell,” said Orlando Mendez.
“Even though they will not likely be
served alcohol there, I don’t think they
need to witness the consumption and
possibility of intoxicated customers.”
Others celebrated the news, saying
that the boozy fast food establishment
— located one block west of
the Cyclone — is a perfect fit for the
neighborhood once known as Sodom
by the Sea.
“I’m happy about it,” said Dick Zigun,
the founder of the non-profi t Coney
Island USA. “It fi ts right in there.”
A representative from Taco Bell
confirmed that the restaurant was
opening this summer, but did not disclose
any details regarding its plans
for the dimunitive dance floor and
possible special events.
