Taco Bell is a global fast food giant, but step into a location in Europe, and you’ll find a menu that looks a little different. While the beloved Crunchwrap Supreme and Doritos Locos Tacos are still there, European Taco Bell locations take it up a notch, incorporating local flavors and cultural influences into their offerings. From loaded fries in the UK to an unexpected twist on Germany’s famous Currywurst, these are the top five Taco Bell menu items you can only find in Europe, plus a bonus reason to love European Taco Bells even more.
In the UK, Taco Bell has embraced the country’s love for loaded fries, taking them to the next level. Picture this: crispy golden fries layered with seasoned beef, warm nacho cheese sauce, tangy sour cream, and freshly chopped tomatoes. Some locations even offer a spicy version with jalapeños for an extra kick. Unlike the typical nachos you’d find stateside, this dish takes a familiar British pub snack and gives it a flavorful Mexican spin. Nothing makes it feel even more Taco Bell then adding the famous mild, medium, or fire sauce to give the fully loaded fries a kick!
Pair it with a cold pint of local craft lager, available in many UK Taco Bells, and you’ve got a meal that feels both indulgent and unmistakably British.
Spain knows its desserts, and Taco Bell has wisely taken inspiration from one of the country’s most beloved treats: churros. These warm, crispy, cinnamon sugar coated delights are served with a side of rich, velvety chocolate dipping sauce. They’re the perfect sweet finish to a meal, or an anytime snack while strolling through the bustling streets of Madrid or Barcelona.
To make it even more authentically Spanish, some Taco Bell locations offer a bottle of Mahou, Spain’s popular pilsner, to pair with your meal. A cold beer and warm churros? Yes, please.
Switzerland is known for its world class cheese, so it’s only fitting that Taco Bell’s Swiss locations offer a quesadilla with a distinct Alpine touch. The Quesadilla Suiza is loaded with gooey Swiss cheese, grilled to golden perfection, and paired with a creamy mustard infused sauce that adds a subtle tang as an unexpected but welcome twist on a Taco Bell classic.
For parents enjoying a quick stop at Taco Bell, pairing this with a Swiss pale ale or a crisp lager makes the meal feel just a bit more sophisticated while keeping the kids happy with their tacos.
Only in France would Taco Bell dare to fuse one of the country’s most famous café sandwiches with Mexican-inspired flavors. The Croque Monsieur Burrito takes the rich, melty goodness of the traditional French Croque Monsieur with ham, Gruyère cheese, and béchamel sauce and wraps it all in a soft flour tortilla. The result? A comforting, creamy, cheesy burrito that feels like both fast food and fine dining at the same time.
Since you’re in France, why not enjoy it with a local Kronenbourg 1664 or a refreshing blonde beer? Nothing says Parisian fast food luxury like a burrito and a beer under the Eiffel Tower, right?
Taco Bell’s German locations pay tribute to one of the country’s most beloved street foods: Currywurst. This version takes tender, sliced bratwurst and drizzles it with a smoky, slightly sweet curry ketchup, then wraps it inside a grilled flour tortilla with crispy tortilla strips for added crunch. The result is a flavorful, crunchy, and slightly spicy dish that feels right at home in Germany.
If you’re dining in, you can wash it down with a classic German pilsner because what goes better with bratwurst than beer?
One of the biggest and best differences between American and European Taco Bells is the availability of beer. While you won’t find alcohol on the menu at U.S. locations (with a few rare exceptions), in many European countries, Taco Bell offers local beer selections alongside its usual soft drinks. Whether it’s a light pilsner in Germany, a strong Belgian brew in Brussels, or a crisp Spanish lager in Madrid, sipping a cold beer with your tacos takes the whole experience up a notch.
Taco Bell has never been just about the food but also it’s about the fun, the flavors. In Europe, the regional twists that make each location feel unique. Whether you’re indulging in gooey Swiss quesadillas, spiced-up German Crunchwraps, or sweet churros in Spain, every country brings something special to the menu. And with the added bonus of local beer, Taco Bell in Europe isn’t just fast food, it’s a dining experience.
So next time you’re traveling through Europe and craving a taste of home with a local twist, skip the usual touristy meals and head to a Taco Bell. You might just discover your new favorite menu item, one that you can’t find anywhere else in the world.
