I wish corporate companies would go back to these styles. The bench’s and stools bring back so many memories. T-Bell in my area had plants up on that ledge up top
There was a McDonald’s in a nice part of town that had a big ass fish tank in it too
I don’t think that 80s pic is right. The prices and drink fountain, plus the signage all feels too modern. Maybe the chairs are left over, but I’d like to see a pic from the 80s. I can only find 90s when searching online.
Newer pic, definitely. They just hadn’t updated the interior. Best I could find quickly. Here’s one from 82, but clearly a custom rather than corporate level consistent interior:
All I needed to see was the Baja Blast on the menu to know that that picture isn’t from the 80’s. (Others have also mentioned the cars visible which is also a giveaway,
Left was definitely the case for most Taco Bells:
Nostalgia!!!

Now that looks 80s!
I’m pretty sure the breakfast menu is really recent. This article seems to back me up on that thought

60s is where it’s at.
They should bring back that little mascot.
People would accuse them of racism if they did that today.
and they should.
the entire menu, and company history is cultural appropriation. They literally ripped off a mexican family restaurant
