Opened on 2 April 2021, the first Taco Bell outlet in Malaysia is located in Cyberjaya, Selangor. This two-storey restaurant is detailed with the brand's iconic styles including the rainbow-coloured Taco ceiling and the indoor sunroom with high glass panels. What makes the Malaysian outlet even more special is the addition of an Instagrammable mural art painted by homegrown artist Wilson Ng that encapsulates the spirit of Malaysian culture and the Taco Bell brand.
