Ordered chicken taco plate and chicken burrito Ironically chicken taco plate has some tortillas and dry chicken in it, chicken burrito too look the same. Which means I did not get a burrito instead I got some tortillas with some dry chicken fooling me it’s a burrito. Lazy worthless purchase.

The menu says they serve breakfast till 11. I ordered at 10:54 and was told they’re not serving breakfast. I asked, «you serve breakfast till 11, right?» The stupid idiot says, «yes, is it 11?» Asking me… I say, «no!» And the idiot says«yeah, no, we’re not serving breakfast.» I guess that’s why the dumb ass works there. She can’t tell time.

Not coming to this tc again… I work at another location and things were nasty here, poorly prepared and disgusting. The salsa was old and sour, the beans were dry and the rice tasted funny. The only thing that didn’t disappoint me about my meal was my fountain drink! Besides the food the customer service was good and they were friendly.

Taco Cabana is a realm that exists somewhere between Taco Bell and a semi-fancy Mexican Restaurant. When you go to one you never know quite what to expect. For example I have seen the finely dressed couple, where the guy tells his chica to order whatever she wants on the menu. Or the 2 a.m. crowd who dragged themselves out of a club or a godforsaken bar in search of some late night food. Admit it to yourself, we all at some point in our lives go to Taco Cabana. It’s an undeniable truth. This Taco Cabana is not that bad, which to say that it is not that great either. At the order counter a menu, which is basically the same one since I went to in high school has not changed much. Given that, people still tend to go for broke and order a plate of any of the three varieties. Whether it be a fajita, enchilada or a carne guisada combo you always feel like your local neighborhood taqueria offers a much better deal. At this location the service is okay, especially depending on the time of day. Don’t order your food and wait outside for your number to be called though. It always sounds like the server is speaking into the intercom with a cup over their voice(kinda like the teacher from Charlie Brown). The only other thing annoying is the dude in front of you in line that takes 20 minutes to figure out what to order; even though this is the millionth time they’ve been here. But for all your qualms this location is pretty clean and orderly. The food is, well, Taco Cabana. There is nothing really unique about it. The tacos are small for the asking price. The margaritas are basically a slushie with a smidge of tequila. Again this specific location is not bad, but it is a notch above Taco Bell, which is not that great either. It is a place where coworkers congregate for happy hour, cheap beer, nachos and all. Taco Cabana is what it is. The service here is okay, with the food to match. It is not fine dining nor is it Authentic Mexican Food, as it boldly proclaims on signs and commercials. It solely exists for high school students to find another excuse not to eat cafeteria food. A place where loud crunchy tacos are considered the pinnacle of food etiquette. And also a place where drunken laughter, enchiladas and Bud Light collide. This review is nether an endorsement nor a disclaimer to avoid it altogether. The only thing cool here was when they once offered soft drinks in a Sean Elliot plastic cup. I miss those more than I do their food.

I’m addicted to cabana bowls but for some reason very single time I go they manage to mess up my order and everyone else I know says the same thing about this location. The food is good they just need new staff. Except for this very sweet lady who wears glasses she’s the only one who knows how to do things right around there.

I’ve been here twice so far and I live across the street, I got the carne guisada meal and wow it’s good lol. Carne guisada is a weakness of mine unfortunately and this place didn’t disappoint at all:)

Having been a patron since I was a kid(my grandma lives within walking distance), I always try to pick up a quick taco when i’m in town. I’m starting to think the novelty of the place is wearing off because the food really isn’t that good. Walking in, my brother, sister in law and I stood at the counter for a good five minutes before anyone so much as said hello. It was just before 8pm and my brother noticed some of the employees were in the back cleaning so he asked if they were closing. It was then that an employee peeled off her cleaning gloves and asked if we needed help. We all ordered Taco plates of some sort which came with beans and rice and after waiting a long time for a few tacos to be made, I checked the bags and noticed I was only given tacos, no rice and beans. No worries. I was only charged as such. The salsa bar was impressive with various levels of spice, including a spicy ranch salsa, however, it was a bit dirty looking and needed a good wipe down. When we got home, I opened my «brisket» taco and what I found under the folds of tortilla was a mound of pureed looking beef. I shouldn’t even say beef because it looked like what my 11 month old niece and nephew get out of their ‘organic meat’ dinner pouches except this was not organic and this did not look like meat. I picked at it with my fork and decided that it wasn’t worth eating and decided to nibble on the tortilla instead. I used to judge Mexican restaurants by their rice alone but now I’ve come to the conclusion that if you screw up the tortillas, you get moved down a notch on my worthiness ticker. Taco Cabana, I’m sorry, but you lose another star because your tortillas were pitiful. Thin, tasteless and cold, I was very disappointed. I’m afraid this will be my last trip to Taco Cabana. Being in Texas and surrounded by Mexican food, I surly won’t miss this place. Sadly, even Taco Bell is probably better.

I go to this Taco Cabana and enjoy the food but on the past occasions I have encountered problems. My friend is a vegetarian and he specified no meat but meat was presented with his dish. I went through the drive thru to ask for a Cabana bowl and usually I get no shell, rice, black beans, lettuce, and chicken fajita but this past time was a greeted with sour cream and tomatoes. The taste of the food I cannot complain about but to help things out with this Taco Cabana would be the employees listening to what the customers request for their meal.
