Taco Bell customers will be able to grab beer with their tacos and burritos at some Canadian stores starting this June.

The Mexican-style fast-food chain says its flagship Toronto location on Queen Street West will be the first store to serve a selection of beer.

Additional stores are expected to follow and the beverage list could expand beyond just suds.

The company says it's making the move as part of its aim to reinvent how customers dine in their restaurants.

American customers have been able to purchase beer, wine and other alcoholic beverages at some Taco Bell locations since 2015.

Taco Bell also announced its plan to grow from 170 restaurants in Canada to 700 locations.

The iconic Tim Hortons chain of coffee stores has a long history in Canada, growing from a single store in Hamilton. But now thought its growth and a series of mergers, its one pillar of a huge empire of brands that will now include Popeyes.
