    So it’s pretty much like the Vegas cantina but it’s 20s theme instead of Miami Nightclub themed.

    Based on the location I can’t imagine it will look that nice for long

    I had only ever been to one* Taco Bell Cantina. Thanks for posting this. My gf absolutely loves Taco Bell Cantinas, she’s gonna be so happy when I bring her to this one.

    Just got pickup here. Was decent just wish they weren’t so short tempered about pickups, especially cause it wasn’t really busy.

    I had to look up what used to be there (because I’m kinda old and the building is beautiful). This was what originally and most famously, used to be there:

    “The restaurant (Taco Bell) at 6741 Hollywood Blvd. is in a building constructed in the Churrigueresque style in 1917. The site was once the bookstore Pickwick, which in the 1930s was frequented by old Hollywood movie stars. It was owned by Louis Epstein and named after Charles Dickens’ classic “The Pickwick Papers.”

    I’m a little confused tho, since Taco Bell PR is saying 6741 for PickWick books but historical reference is saying 6743. It’s clearly the same building but Pickwick expanded at one point, so maybe that’s why the numbering is slightly off.

    As a teen in the 70s and very early 80s, I used to go to the Pickwick Bookstore (and all of bookstore row) it was fantastic. In fact, Hollywood Blvd had a number of bookstores back then that were pretty fun to explore.

    LADWP photo archives has a great write up on Pickwick Books interesting history. Pretty amusing too.

    To think, F. Scott Fitzgerald and Raymond Chandler (not to mention, Humphrey Bogart) hung out at Pickwick.
