Many stores and restaurants will be closed on Memorial Day. Luckily for everyone, Taco Bell will not be one of them.

Memorial Day is a time to celebrate and remember military members who sacrificed their lives to defend the United States. It’s also a time to party. And any time there’s a party, Taco Bell is likely involved. Who doesn’t want a Cheesy Gordita Crunch after a long hard day of partying?

The popular Mexican restaurant will not be closed on Monday, May 29 for the holiday. Most stores will open slightly later than usual at 7:00 a.m. ET and close at 9:00 p.m. ET. However, check with your local store because some locations might have different hours.

If your Memorial Day events start early, fuel up at the most popular Mexican fast food restaurant in the world. They have a variety of breakfast options, including tacos and burritos. Usually, Taco Bell in the morning might sound disgusting. But their tacos are exquisitely delicious and their coffee is about as good as you can reasonably expect from a fast food place.

They also have pretty good drinks and usually have an afternoon happy hour with discounted beverages. Most famously, the restaurant is one of the very few places in the world you can buy a Mountain Dew Baja Blast. If you’re partying on Memorial Day, you know what they say – it’s not a party unless there’s Mountain Dew involved.

Keep in mind Taco Bell won’t be open late on Memorial Day. It’s a bummer, but life isn’t fair sometimes. So if you want some late night snacks, be sure to visit the restaurant early. That way, you can have some tacos or whatever you prefer available after you’re done for the day. They will go back to their regular early to late hours on Tuesday.
