How would you like some beer with your bean burrito?

Taco Bell's first location to serve alcohol is now open.

Taco Bell customers in Chicago can now enjoy beer with their burritos, and sangria with their soft tacos at the Taco Bell Cantina.

The chain has opened a location that serves wine, beer, sangria and frozen mixed drinks in Chicago.

USA Today reports the menu features tapas-style "appetizers" like rolled chicken tacos and mini quesadillas.

It's a first in the U.S. for Taco Bell, which is owned by Louisville, Kentucky-based Yum Brands Inc.

A similar location is scheduled to open in San Francisco later this month.

This move by Taco Bell follows experiments in alcohol by other fast food chains, including Sonic and Burger King.
