What kind of wine pairs best with a Chalupa? Taco Bell customers in Chicago and San Francisco will soon be able to find out. The chain has opened a location that serves wine, beer, sangria and frozen mixed drinks in Chicago, marking the first time it has served alcohol in the United States. The new restaurant also features trends Taco Bell says it is seeing among millennials: "tapas-style" appetizers, a mural by a local artist and an open kitchen.

A similar location will open in San Francisco later this month, according to Taco Bell, which is owned by Yum Brands Inc. Aside from the alcohol and appetizers, Taco Bell says the menu will be the same as regular locations.

Taco Bell isn't alone in trying alcohol. To try and boost sales later in the day, Starbucks has also been rolling out wine, beer and small dishes at select U.S. locations. Chipotle also serves margaritas.
