====Iceland====
Taco Bell in [[Iceland]] was operated as a part of the KFC establishment in [[Hafnarfjörður]], suburb of [[Reykjavík]]. It was established in late 2006, after the departure of the U.S. Navy from [[Naval Air Station Keflavik]]. A second location opened in the Ártúnshöfði part of Reykjavík in November 2008.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.tacobell.is/?c=frettir&id=13&lid=&pid=|title=2nd location in Iceland|author=Nafn|publisher=Tacobell.is|access-date=February 9, 2010|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090125124651/http://tacobell.is/?c=frettir&id=13&lid=&pid=|archive-date=January 25, 2009}}</ref> Taco Bell closed its Hafnarfjörður location in late 2023.

====Mexico====
Taco Bell has attempted to enter the Mexican market twice. After a highly publicised launch in Mexico City in 1992, all the restaurants were closed two years later. In September 2007, Taco Bell returned to [[Monterrey]], projecting an American image with an Americanized menu that included french fries, but it closed in January 2010 due to low patronage.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9e0ce1dc123ff936a35755c0a964958260|title=Company News; Pepsico Opens A Taco Bell In Mexico City|date=June 5, 1992|work=The New York Times|access-date=August 16, 2011|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071218020334/http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9e0ce1dc123ff936a35755c0a964958260|archive-date=December 18, 2007}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nbcnews.com/id/wbna21209104|title=Taco Bell makes a run across the border – Food Inc.|date=October 9, 2007|publisher=NBC News|access-date=February 9, 2010}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://noticias.prodigy.msn.com/analisis/articulo-contenido.aspx?cp-documentid=23188113|title=Quiebra Taco Bell en México|publisher=MSN|language=es|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111001030934/http://noticias.prodigy.msn.com/analisis/articulo-contenido.aspx?cp-documentid=23188113|archive-date=October 1, 2011|access-date=August 16, 2011}}</ref>

====Poland====
The first Polish Taco Bell store was opened in 1993. Following an aggressive campaign of expansion, Taco Bell's efforts soon withered, and the chain withdrew from Poland shortly thereafter.<ref>{{Cite web |date=February 17, 2022 |title=Taco Bell w Polsce.
