Hot Salsa!
Taco Bell with booze and a dance
fl oor to open in Coney Island
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 elementaryaged
youngsters will attend
class just a quarter-mile
away from the rum-filled
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-profit Coney Island
USA. “It fits 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.
Live más! A new Taco Bell coming to Coney Island may feature a 10-by-10-foot dance fl oor.
