A FAST food restaurant specialising in Mexican and Texan cuisine will open its doors next week.

American chain Taco Bell is set to open on Wednesday in Chelmsford.

The restaurant, in the former Futon Company store, in Moulsham Street, will serve both takeaway and eat-in options of trans-Atlantic classics, including nachos, burritos, tacos and quesadillas.

Excitement is building on Twitter, with @chloesmithyes writing: “There’s a Taco Bell in Chelmsford, my life is complete”, while @eilataN_F tweeted: “A Taco Bell in Chelmsford has brightened up my not-so-fabulous day!”
