BUCHANAN — The aromas of tacos, quesadillas and burritos will soon entice commuters on East Front Street once a new Taco Bell restaurant is finished in Buchanan.

Construction continues on a new Taco Bell location at 708 E. Front St., the site of the former Hilltop Cafe. An open date has not been announced yet.

Founded in 1948, the restaurants serve a variety of Tex-Mex foods that include tacos, burritos, quesadillas, nachos, novelty and specialty items, and a variety of “value menu” items. As of 2018, Taco Bell has served more than 2 billion customers each year at 7,072 restaurants, more than 93 percent of which are owned and operated by independent franchisees and licensees.

Leader Publications will be updated as more information becomes available.
