Taco Cabana

Quick fix no frills restaurant. Tried their ancho shrimp. Wasn’t bad except… where’s the shrimp! Would have given a higher rating if it weren’t for the ‘shrimpy’ shrimp. Also the fresh bar for salsa and other condiments was a bit messy.

Not up to par! I ordered three crispy beef tacos all with add guacamole at $ 0.39 each and add sour cream at $ 0.39 each. So 3 tacos was $ 8.35. I checked my order before leaving the window to find one taco had zero guacamole and a tiny bit of sour cream. The second looked okay, the third had a tiny bit of guacamole and average sour cream. I expect all three tacos to look the same — I paid the same price for each of them. I showed the employee the lack of consistency and asked for guacamole in a side container, which she provided. Not a happy customer right now.

Very bad customer service they don’t know how do you even talk to customer employee fit on a corner and text MPEG knowledge Ing that you’re standing still kick back and less I would not recommend this place to anyone

This might be the worst fast food restaurant ever. The place is so poorly managed I really don’t know how they stay open. Worst service ever! I wish I could give Negative Stars. Somebody please call the health inspector. Nobody cleans this place.

At first glance the plate of food looked like dog food. On second glance it looked like dog barf.
I’ve never tasted dog barf before, so I can’t tell you if this compares, but I’ll hazard a guess it’s not far off.
Some bits were overcooked, others mushy. There was a salty tinge to the whole plate, it was mostly beans and slop. There were rolled things that I thought were supposed to be stuffed, and after close, VERY CLOSE inspection, yes there was a meat-​like bit speck inside.
If you want to know the overall presentation, imagine that your dog got into your Taco Bell and barfed it up.
In a word: Avoid.

Yummy. Nachos just right and also fast service but they forgot the sour cream and other stuff.

Stale chips salsa bar gross place was a mess and the food was so salty i could barely eat it.

Met some friends here for dinner one night. We were a party of 13 and many different dishes were had.
Food was good. I had the fajita plate and it was good as always. I don’t think this place could mess up any dish. Never under or over prepared.
When they realized we had so many people, the staff came and moved the tables for us. Staff was very friendly.
They do sell some alcohol, but no one in our party drank.
When in the area and want Mexican, this is one place I would think about.

We were pleasantly greeted and assisted by Carolina. Six of us, all adult, arrived shortly before at Hobby Airport, nourished by the salted peanuts distributed to passengers by Southwest Airlines. We checked into our nearby hotel that evening and asked the desk clerk for a recommendation. I was famished and ready to devour whatever wasn’t quick enough to escape my reach. Our orders were ready promptly and I enjoyed my chicken burrito, taco, refried beans and rice. Everyone in my group was pleased with the quantity and quality of their food. I would recommend this Taco Cabana to others.

This Taco Cabana is next to the Courtyard and near Hobby. We were starving after landing in Houston and being inbetween meals we figured a stop at Taco Cabana wouldn’t cost more than a few bucks. We were correct. The food here is extremely affordable, but not being used to so low grade food I doubt we’d return. The place was filthy and food was below average, but we got what we expected and believe it’s still better than Taco Bell.

Wanted breakfast tacos this morning for breakfast versus donuts, so I chose my usual place. Needless to say, I was very disappointed. I always hit the drive thru and I noticed that there was not anyone inside and only 1 car in front of me. When it was my turn I pulled up to place my order & the girl politely asked me to wait. That wait turned into 10 minutes, so I drove away.
I know that when there are new employees that this could possibly happen, but a 10 minute wait with no patrons inside and 1 car ahead of me? That is a bit much to ask for at 0600. Heading to the Taco Cabana by the hospital.
I gave it 2 stars only because I know that things will change depending on the employees.

This morning and decided to have breakfast and go through the drive thru. I ordered a couple of tacos and the guy on the headset sounded so low I couldn’t understand him. I had to repeat my order a couple of times and still didn’t know if he got all of it. He then mumbled something and I couldn’t hear it so I just drove through to the window. Another lady at the window asked if I wanted hot sauce and I said yes, but when I got my order I didn’t get any at all. The tacos where flavorless and boring and made me regret even coming here.

This location is way better than the location on Fuqua St which is older and smells old. This location is more modern looking and looks really nice. The side bar seemed very clean and more space to dine in. This place is by far the best Tex-​Mex and way better than that nasty Taco Bell. What is Taco Bell anyways? Its not Mexican nor Tex-​Mex. The cilantro was fresh and didn’t look soggy. Also, the staff seemed nice which is always a plus.

Great spot for a Texas specific fix for a long layover at Hobby. I would recommend their shrimp quesadilla! Delish!!!

I thought this was excellent! Food was hot and so good. Cashier was very nice and helpful. The only reason I did not give 5 stars is a lot of the tables needed to be wiped off, and the bar as well. But it looked like they may have had a rush of people all at once before we came in. But over all this was a great price, lots of food, and very, very good!

Pretty darned good.
Clean up your salsa bar once in a while and I’ll give you 4 stars.
Overall, pretty darned good and I’ll be back inspite of the salsa bar being messy.

This place does not even deserve one star. Came to eat with a party of 11 around 5:30 PM. The manager took 5 to 7 minutes to argue with a customer over a coupon. She got all of our orders wrong. I then went to the server line to ask for napkins, and saw the same manager that was at the register, walk from the back of the store with raw beef in her hands-​with no gloves on-​and placed it on the grill to cook. Not sanitary. I will never eat at this location again. Ever.

You just got a text letting you know that the flight has been delayed, from your more responsible counterpart who got to Hobby very early, but you have already left the office and are making good time on i45 south. What are you to do? You can just stick with the plan of sitting there and feeling resigned to a fate of Wendy’s at the terminal … or you can exit right now and pull into the old Taco Cab you see in the distance. After all, that was that day where you wear pink, you know, it was that Wednesday day.
Nothing remarkable about this Taco Cab. It merely is. Which is a step above the worst Taco Cab experience, but several steps below the experiences at the olde standard on Kirby.

This is the worst Taco Cabana I’ve encountered in the Houston area. Let us count the ways:
1) Salsa bar has been sloppily maintained every time I’ve been. I was going to make a hypothetical «If I wanted salsa rojo drips all over the counter» statement but there is no situation where that would be the case.
2) Service is a good bit less friendly than I’ve encountered at other Taco Cabanas. One time they gave me inedible watered-​down queso and basically just said there was nothing they could do when I asked to exchange it except offer me guac (which I dislike) or sour cream (which is of limited use). No refund. No credit for a different menu item. Nothing. If I’m ordering chips and queso, I’d like chips and queso. Not chips and sour cream. This isn’t the Super Bowl, those chips aren’t potato, and there’s no french onion soup mix to be found.
3) Neighborhood’s a little sketch, and the crowd isn’t as conducive to friendly good times late at night as most of the other Taco Cs.
Unless you’re right by Hobby and have to have Taco Cabana THIS SECOND, I’d go to one of the other nearby venues. Like the Taco Cabana just inside the loop.

Question: Can anything be more gross than Taco Bell?
Answer: A resounding yes.
