According to a release, the Taco Bell/Yeastie Boys breakfast collaboration has been in the works for years. In a statement, Evan Fox, owner of Yeastie Boys, said the partnership began as a “mutual love for serving up imaginative breakfast items.”

“The most important element that we bring to all of our brand partnerships is collaboration,” Taco Bell executive chef Rene Pisciotti said in a statement. “We’ve worked hard to fuse our classic breakfast flavors that fans love with Yeastie Boys’ distinctive take on breakfast and are excited to provide our SoCal fans and foodies that uniquely Taco Bell experience throughout the streets of Los Angeles.”

This limited-time experience will be available at Yeastie Boys food trucks located in the Arts District (584 Mateo St, Los Angeles, CA 90013) on March 24; Venice (1107 Abbot Kinney Blvd, Venice, CA 90291) and Silverlake (3900 Sunset Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90029) on March 25; and West Hollywood (8420 Melrose Pl, Los Angeles, CA 90069) and Studio City (12103 Ventura Pl, Studio City, CA 91604) on March 26.

This isn’t the first time Taco Bell has collaborated with a smaller brand for a menu mashup. In August, the chain teamed up with Milk Bar to create Strawberry Bell Truffles, while in October, the chain tested Nacho Fries with Truff’s Hotter Hot Sauce.
