We have good news. Most locations are expected to be open today on May 25, 2020.
Keep in mind that individual store hours and policies may vary because of the coronavirus pandemic. Some stores may be open for more limited hours in certain locations or have other policies in place for safety purposes. It’s best to check with your local store for specific policies.
Most Taco Bell Locations Are Open for Memorial Day But Hours Can Vary
Taco Bells are typically open on Memorial Day. However, as with any holiday, the chain doesn’t guarantee store closures or hours. It’s up to each individual restaurant when they operate for the holidays. In the past, a Taco Bell representative has told Heavy that for major holidays: “Holiday hours vary by location; we encourage customers to ask their local restaurants about potential closures.”
This also means that if your local Taco Bell is open, they might have shorter hours for the holiday. Although Taco Bell lists many of its open and closing hours on its website here, Memorial Day is not listed.

This includes new positions to help with responses to the pandemic, such as helping to keep drive throughs running smoothly, managing delivery, mobile orders and curbside pickup, helping with sanitation, and more.
Taco Bell currently has many procedures in place for the pandemic, including temperature checks, mask and glove requirements, and contactless options. In April, Taco Bell implemented seven enhanced safety steps in its restaurants, including contactless service and payment, requiring employees to wear gloves, sealing every order, industry-leading sanitization standards, a dedicated cleaning role, employee temperature checks, and extra sanitization options for customers (including sanitizing stations in the dining room and an individual wipe with every drive-through order).
