Earlier in the summer, Taco Bell launched a pilot program to test if delivery was feasible at its stores. Now Taco Bell is looking at offering alcohol with its selection of tacos and burritos.

Taco Bell Chief Executive Officer Brian Niccol's told Bloomberg that it is launching a program that will have two Taco Bell locations in San Francisco near AT&T Park and Chicago that serves alcohol. While the program will start with two locations, Niccol said it could expand to five cities soon with one of those cities being in Ohio.

Columbus was one of the cities Niccol mentioned it is considering  selling alcohol. The other two cities under consideration are Boston and New York.

“We’re underpenetrated in urban markets,” Niccol told Bloomberg. “It’s where you have that density, and frankly where people aren’t in cars.”
Bloomberg said that the Chicago location will serve Dos Equis, New Belgium Brewing Co.’s Fat Tire beer, red sangria and liquor including Don Julio tequila and Ketel One vodka. 
There is no word if Taco Bell will offer alcohol with its delivery service.
