When does Taco Bell serve breakfast at my local restaurant?
Most locations in the U.S. open their morning menu around 7 a.m. and serve it for a few hours. You can usually plan a quick stop for coffee, a warm wrap, or hash browns during that window.
Typical time window: 7 a.m. to 11 a.m. local time
The standard span runs from 7 a.m. to 11 a.m. in local time. That gives you a four-hour period to grab morning items without rushing.
Some spots start earlier or stop a bit before 11 a.m. in busy commuter zones or smaller towns. Weekend schedules and holidays may also shift start or end times.
- Check the store locator to see if a nearby restaurant serves the morning menu and to confirm today’s exact start and cutoff.
- Drive-thru service can differ from lobby hours; the app shows available pickup options.
- If you plan to order near 11 a.m., place a mobile order or arrive a few minutes early.

|---|---|---|
| Standard locations | 7:00 a.m. – 11:00 a.m. | Use store locator for local confirmation |
| Commuter-heavy sites | May open earlier or close near 10:30 a.m. | Order ahead via app to save time |
| Holidays & weekends | Times vary by date | Check the app or website before you go |
