CLEVELAND, Ohio -- If you've been waiting to get booze with your Burrito Supreme, sorry, that fancy Taco Bell near Public Square isn't opening anytime soon.

After saying last year the Taco Bell Cantina planned for the old May Co. building would open in late 2016, and then revising that to April, the company has announced a new target date.

"We are anticipating an opening in the next 90 days," a Taco Bell spokesperson said in a email.

However, based on a cursory look at the space from the outside and the history of the project, first announced last June, workers would be hard pressed to meet that time frame, which puts construction into July.

A peek inside through the windows Monday revealed the steel framing of the interior walls, the presence of a few construction workers and little else.

Renderings presented before the city's Landmarks Commission last summer showed a 2,800 square foot restaurant with 30-seat patio.

When it opens, the fast-casual spot will be similar to Taco Bell Cantinas in Austin and Chicago, offering beer, Twisted Freezes and shareable appetizers in addition to the familiar Taco Bell menu. The atmosphere will be decidedly more hip and urban than the typical Taco Bell with local artwork on the walls, community tables and free Wi-Fi.
