Taco Bell is expanding once again in Ireland, with the opening of its newest restaurant in Blanchardstown on Friday 20 February, marking the brand’s fifth location in the country since its Irish debut just a few months ago.
The Blanchardstown restaurant-opening comes as part of a wider growth plan that will see two additional Taco Bell sites open, including a newly launched digital-only, delivery-focused location in Glasnevin, designed to meet the rising demand for delivery across North Dublin.
“Taco Bell’s opening in Blanchardstown marks another exciting step forward in our rapid expansion across Ireland,” said Ian Cranna, general manager of Taco Bell Europe.
“In just a few short months, we’ve seen incredible energy from Irish customers, and this new restaurant reflects our commitment to bringing Taco Bell’s bold flavours and signature experience to even more communities.”
Six More Locations
Together, these openings position Taco Bell with five Irish restaurants to accelerate its plans for six more locations in 2026.
The Blanchardstown restaurant represents Taco Bell’s largest Irish opening to date and reinforces the brand’s strong momentum, following the successful launch of its first restaurant in Dunshaughlin, Co. Meath, in September 2025.
With the Blanchardstown opening, customers can look forward to Taco Bell’s full Mexican-inspired menu, featuring tacos, burritos, nachos, quesadillas and global fan favourites, such as the iconic Crunchwrap Supreme and Crunchy Taco.
The first 100 customers to visit the new store will receive exclusive Taco Bell merchandise.
Taco Bell has partnered with Eclective QSR, a subsidiary of Eclective Hospitality Group, to expand its business in Ireland.
“Blanchardstown is an ideal location with a vibrant community and strong retail presence – the perfect place to continue building the brand’s connection with Irish consumers,” said Patrick Sheehan, CEO of Eclective Hospitality Group.
