Taco Bell Is Opening ‘The Cantinas’ For ‘Early Retirees’

Ever dreamed of an early retirement? While you may not be financially there yet, Taco Bell wants to give you a little taste of those golden years with The Cantinas. 

On Monday, Taco Bell announced it’s opening The Cantinas, an early retirement community featuring aerobics classes, pickleball tournaments, and early dinners featuring all its best meals. 

“There’s a common misconception that retirement unlocks the life you’ve been waiting for. And while that may be true for some, we don’t think you should have to wait until 55 to live the life you’re craving,” Taylor Montgomery, the U.S. chief marketing officer of Taco Bell, shared in a statement. “The Cantinas early retirement community, just like our brand, represents a place where all generations can come together, regardless of age, to Live their Más however they want.”

Here’s how it’s all going down. 

On August 17 and 18, Taco Bell will open The Cantinas in San Diego, California. It will be open exclusively to Taco Bell Rewards members (don’t worry, it’s free to join), who can snag day passes or a full weekend membership starting on July 16 at noon Eastern. The only caveat here is those who want to join in on the fun just have to be over 21 years of age, but hey, that’s way better than retirement age, right? 

A full Weekend Membership to The Cantinas will be available for $150 and Includes overnight accommodations for the ticketholder and their guest, who also get full access to amenities, recreation, dining, and entertainment. 

The day pass will be available for $50 per day and includes full access for the ticket holder and their plus one to the grounds, recreation, dining, and entertainment from 8 a.m. – 8 p.m. each day. 

The best way to get the tickets is have your “buy now” finger ready at TheCantinas.net, and by ensuring you sign up early for Taco Bell Rewards if you haven’t already. Stay tuned to the website for more information and to interact with the community of fellow early retirees too.
