Taco Bell is redesigning its restaurants.

The company is rolling out four different store models — "modern explorer," "California sol," "heritage" and "urban edge" — and they look nothing like the fast-food chain we know.

The new designs are all pretty similar to one another.

They feature open kitchens and lounge seating areas with rustic wood and metal finishes, as well as fancy lighting fixtures and chandeliers that look like they came from Restoration Hardware.

The new designs will debut in several restaurants in Orange County, California this summer. A broader roll-out is planned in the last half of 2016.

Interesting... they were running a place called 'US Taco Co.' which was described as fast-casual... that closed down last September. The idea here looks similar.

Open kitchen at Taco Bell is a terrible idea. You do not wanna see how that stuff gets made. They microwave everything that isn't "grilled" and apply the sour cream with what looks like a giant caulking gun.

Everybody knows the score when you go to Taco Bell. No need to try and put a nice face on that situation.

I've heard all their taco meat arrives pre-cooked in plastic bags and they boil it.

¡Hasta la vista, pelota!

Plus, they all already have "open" kitchens. Just stand at the counter and you can watch them caulk your chalupa supreme.
