As Taco Bell continues to expand its Cantina concept, movie buffs and fast food enthusiasts alike can rejoice at the opening of the latest cinema-themed Taco Bell Cantina in San Jose's Westfield Oakridge shopping mall. Located adjacent to the Century movie theater on Blossom Hill Road, the appearance of this Taco Bell Cantina combines the brand's signature fast-food menu with a nod to the glitzy movie theater experience according to KTVU.

San Jose's newest Taco Bell Cantina opened today, and its grand opening featured a special giveaway for its customers. The first 100 people to visit on opening day received an exclusive Taco Bell cup, and all patrons who made a purchase on this memorable day were entered into a raffle to win free Taco Bell for a whole year as PR Newswire reported.

Inside, visitors are treated to a touch of old Hollywood glamor. The restaurant boasts retro neon purple lights, a vintage movie theater display case, and a concession stand-style counter as per SFGate. Not only does the decor provide a unique ambiance, but the cinema-themed Cantina also offers an expanded menu that includes an extensive selection of alcoholic beverages, such as beer, wine, and liquor alongside Taco Bell's traditional food options as mentioned by SFGate.

Designed with convenience in mind, the new location includes three ordering stations and a pickup window for to-go orders. This Cantina also features outdoor patio seating with space for up to 24 guests, allowing visitors to enjoy their tacos and Twisted Freeze concoctions while soaking in the distinctive atmosphere, according to PR Newswire.

With the Westfield Oakridge mall having undergone renovations and expansions since its 1971 opening, most recently in 2003 per SFGate, the arrival of the cinema-themed Taco Bell Cantina is expected to lend excitement to the dining experience and contribute to a revitalized pre-pandemic atmosphere.
