Don't go to this one. I had a very simple order (2) Street Corn - 16 oz 1 had the sauce and cheese, BUT was filled only half way. I'm not sure why this was ok to whoever prepared it, but that is clearly STEALING. The other, not all the way filled but more in proportion to the 1st. BUT , No Sauce AND No Cheese. What is yall problem here. I didn't get to noticing until bringing these home. Yall trash Don't go here. Lazy and or thieves, ridiculous read more

Taco Cabana - Mexican Near Me - Austin, Texas

Right off the N Mopac Expwy this restaurant resides within a shopping center. Food here has always been ok, inside could be a bit cleaner. I had to be a customer just to use the restroom which I can understand because I've noticed a few non customers just hanging out on the property patio area. But besides that it's ok it's a place to grab a quick bite. The workers are great they give your food to you pretty quickly read more

The ceiling is dripping, the soda fountain is broken, it smells like wet dog, the chips taste rancid, and you're probably taking your life into your hands with the open air salsa bar... But hey $2 frozen margaritas if you're craving and adult slurpee. Worth it! (?) read more

Taco Cabana - Outside patio - Mexican Near Me - Austin, Texas

The cheese enchiladas with rice and beans takes me back to my Texas school lunches. Simple and tasty.

This is truly a terrible experience. Here's a Yelp review that captures the frustration and details of your encounter: "Absolutely the WORST Taco Cabana experience imaginable. I've had issues with this location's order accuracy, so I placed an online order with meticulous modifiers, scheduling it for pickup 15 minutes later. I arrived roughly 12 minutes after ordering, expecting a smooth pickup. Upon entering, the lobby was deserted, save for one person finishing their meal. The drive-thru was empty. Yet, it took several minutes for the staff to even acknowledge my presence. When I finally said, "Excuse me, I have an order for..." before I could finish, the employee snapped, "Didn't get no orders," and vanished. She reappeared minutes later, walked past me without a word, and disappeared again towards the to-go window. Seven minutes later, she tossed a seemingly empty brown bag on the counter, glanced at me, and turned away. I said "thank you" and received no response. I proceeded to ask for a water cup and the restroom code. She bluntly said, "No." When I asked if there was a plumbing issue, she replied, "No, you can't have it." After explaining I had just placed an order and requesting to use the restroom, she begrudgingly gave me the code (1280). Returning to my table, I inspected my order. It was beyond underwhelming. My simple order--a flower tortilla, water, and 1oz each of Fuego, Pico de Gallo, and Ranch salsas--was a complete disaster. Not a single salsa was included. The taco itself contained a mere teaspoon of filling, roughly an ounce of chorizo and other ingredients, making up 85% tortilla and 15% filling. I'm a chef, so I know the difference between a teaspoon and tablespoon. In short, I received an empty burrito, an empty bag (no salsas), and was subjected to outright harassment from the staff. This location is a disgrace. I will never return and strongly advise others to avoid it. The customer service is non-existent, and the food is a joke." Won't be returning to this location, however I was certainly blast on full speed on every social media platform local forums word of mouth and beyond. I haven't left a negative review in I don't know how long... read more

Geeez, it's been a year since my last review and the fresh salsa bar is still closed. On this visit I asked for beef fajita tacos, but instead I got two ground beef tacos. In other words, they got the order wrong So why do I keep punishing myself by coming here? The same reason as last time, I had a gift card that I needed to spend. At least this time they withheld the guacamole and I did get two small containers of salsa, but I had to ask for the jalapeños. Unfortunately, I still have money left on this gift card which means I have a future date with more of the same. read more

Poor service, smells like someone puked on the floor and they mopped it up with stale water... Gross.

Friendly older woman at the drive thru only saving grace. Decided to come in after ordering thru the drive thru. She put napkins and plastic utensils and salsa. Food was hot. That's where the good stops. Ingredients although fresh were NOT cooked. I opened an enchilada on a plate and was freshly sprinkled and not even melted. Could see it was small shredded cheese. Rice was old, some were hard and stuck together almost unable to chew. If I could give a zero I would. This is a restaurant I will never return to. I can get half decent quick Mexican at places like Taco Palenque or such. It had been raining, the whole restaurant leaks esp the restroom- surprised it wasn't shut down. Someone came in while I was in there to "inspect" wasn't pleasant. read more

I don't know what is going on with Taco Cabana's quality especially at this location... when I order a chorizo and egg taco, it would be nice if there was chorizo on it... are yall rationing?

Taco Cabana - Chorizo and egg taco with no chorizo... stale flamin hot taco.. trash - Mexican Near Me - Austin, Texas

Went to the drive-thru this time and was not greeted but asked " what do you want " ( not welcoming at all ) There was only one car in front of us, and we waited a good 11 minutes. The food was decent. the quesadilla, as usual, was not crispy but undercooked. I feel like they rushed through our order because the young man asked me if it was okay if pieces of steak were inside my Chicken Fajita Nachos. well I mean of course not? no offense but they're called Chicken Fajita Nachos for a reason. After I said no to his question, he rolled his eyes and closed the drive-thru window. At that moment I felt like they were picking the steak from my food single-handedly. Which is a thought we all wish to not think of but we have to think about the germs entering our bodies due to cross-contamination. the sauce is pretty decent, Definitely artificially flavored, and had a nice tang to it. I live for the refried beans here. It's delicious, creamy, but a bit bland. the chicken quesadilla was not fully cooked on the outside, and the cheese wasn't even fully melted. there was NOT a generous amount of meat on either product and the prices here don't play. still coming back for the chicken fajita nachos though, hopefully, they won't fail me on my next trip. read more

We just left the drive thru and the girl working was so patient. We had made a mistake in ordering the combo instead of the fajita plate. She made it right and did it with a smile.

I think I've only been to a taco cabana once before. I don't remember the food being served so terribly. The service was great and the food was ready quickly. The steak and other ingredients were seasoned and cooked well and the nachos and queso were fine. But the presentation and delivery failed miserably. The picture of the taco shows the glob of sour cream on one side of the taco only. Thankfully I had nacho chips to use as a knife to spread it before eating. What you can't see is the onions that I asked them to withhold, and that the taco was heated unevenly so that part of it was barely warm and the other part was colder than room temp. And those cups of salsa? Definitely unacceptable. read more

This review is for the last 3 months. Lately I've been experiencing great service from the drive thru, and the quality of the food, and well as the portions and the orders being correct! It tends to get very busy, so don't expect to get your food immediately after you order, and with that being said, I do appreciate it because the food is freshly made, and the orders correct. Also, the change in staff has definitely made the business improve, and they are very friendly! read more

Excellent $12 dozen bean/cheese taco box for taco day. Lost one star because pico had no peppers.

I came into taco Cabana to pick up my Togo order.. First I wasn't greeted, they saw me and looked the other way and continued on doing absolutely nothing.. then after waiting there for about 2-3minutes, the woman at the register asked me the name of my order, looked up at her screen, REMOVED HER FACE MASK TO PICK SOMETHING OUT OF HER BACK MOLAR, slid her mask back on, didn't wash her hands, proceeded to mangle with the glove box and slid on gloves. GROSS DUDE. GROSS. Also it took exceptionally long to receive my order. I love taco cabana with my whole heart but I will never come back to this location ever again. read more

the carne asade taco platter was possibly the saddest lunch i've ever eaten. the "carne asada" looked like a white castle patty chopped up. you may be thinking "you know you're at taco cabana, why did you order it?" and all i can say in my defense is "well, why does it exist?" this place looks like it's on its last legs, and the staff is about as enthused to serve this slop as you are to eat it. read more

This is why Taco Cabana is losing out. It's 2:26 and these guys are closed. It's my experience that this cabana and a few others really close earl without upper management and ownership knowing. You're service is crap and so is your work ethic. Edit: Someone from Cabana reaches out and attempted to make it right. I'm glad to see they care about their customers so I've bumped up my review 2 stars. read more

Where has the flavor gone? More than once and also at other locations, lately, the fajitas don't have any fajita flavor any more. They are just salty. Really salty. Not tasty, not flavorful, just salty. Today i also had the soft chicken taco plate which has always been my favorite. I used to love the flavor of the shredded chicken meat. Today, the flavor was gone. Is this a corporate wide change? Please bring back the flavor that made TC good. Also, they forgot to give my daughter a chocolate chip cookie, which apparently is supposed to come with a kids meal- per the receipt. Very disappointed. read more

Awful. Just awful. It was my poor judgement to order an Enchilada plate from anywhere other than an actual Mexican restaurant, but I've done it before at a different location with low expectations and surprisingly they were surpassed. Not this time. My expectations could not have been lower and yet the bar was obviously still set too high. This is the sloppiest "meal" I've ever ordered. The enchiladas are skimpy, the cheese and tortillas are hard, they look like they were just thrown in the box, the guacamole is runny and overly saturated with lime which tells me it's old and they attempted to freshen it up. The rice is over cooked and hard. The beans have a hardened film across them and burnt inside. Wow. Simply awful. read more

Usually, ok. I mean its Taco Cabana, it is what it is, ya know. Just bought $22 worth of tacos. As the woman at the drive through handed me my order, I asked for some cilantro & onion.

I'm so annoyed with the excuse every time I come here this location specifically is sold out of Flautas... I mean literally every freaking time. I get the same apology too. Sorry sir it's our top seller we sell out of Flautas!!! You think when I go to Chick-fil-A they would ever tell me " sorry sir we are sold out of chicken or sorry sir we are sold out of waffle fries!! No!! they wouldn't because a smart establishment would say hey...we sell out of our Flautas very quickly during these specific times of the week...we should probably request more Flautas Then to make it worse they don't have any sort of way to get out some I'm stuck in a line because I can't get out of the drive thru... funny thing was the 2 people in front of me drove straight through so I must of not been the only victim of having bad news of running out of tacos at a taco restaurant. read more

Really really do not like a place where you are so completely ignored trying to place an order. I can't understand how employees could look at a customer, see that they want to interact, and then look away. Poor management I suppose read more

Here's a tip for yo' ass!! Do NOT come tonite!! They apparently ran out of regular cheese & went to HEB to get more....and had to have bought no-melt-government-cheese!! Any item that calls for melted cheese looks like this! Manager says "I've tried to melt it & it won't"--- WTF! Made for a tasty cheese enchilada, let me tell ya. So, since Yelp thinks I should expand my tip into a review, here goes! We went to TC a few nights ago, and although I hadnt been to this location in years, its TC, what can go wrong? I usually hit up the PV location because its on the way home, but this was close and we were starving. Our "run in for some dinner" turned into over an hour long experience. We seriously could have gone to a restaurant and sat, as long as this took. IDK if they are understaffed, or the kitchen full of teenagers is just the epitome of most food joints now, but KLAWT!! The cashier either needed a break, some speed, literally, or a large dose of coffee, because she was almost comatose. She was not unpleasant, but she was about as dry as day old bread. It was late, I get it, but jeeze. It just seemed to be the theme of this establishment. All in all, no one asked if I wanted to get a dessert or something "on the house", no one- manager specifically, asked if he could refund our ticket. Nothing. He just said that it had been a bad day all day, and pretty much left our table at that. The manager was maybe 19. After the second quesidilla came and had completely unmelted cheese (after my unmelted and stale cheese enchilada) I said to all 3 of the folks behind the counter that "this aint it"--- and had to actually ask for my own money back. All in all, my boys and I ate our food, so I didnt want to have our whole ticket comped, but that quesidilla was NOT getting paid for. Refunded and headed to another TC to get my husbands to-go order, and another quesidilla for my daughter. read more

First off I should have seen the reviews then I would have not put myself in this situation. I was ordering food for lunch when the person in front of me was over charged. The manager Ernesto was trying to resolve the situation and had me standing in line waiting forever. Someone else offered to help in the meantime I placed my order and then was told they didn't have what I ordered. Mind you there was no cooking going on, grills didn't have any food in them. It's lunch time for crying out loud and you don't have any chicken?! Wow! I opted to leave and all the while the manager was still fussing with the person that was in front of me that he over charged! Never going back to this place! What a let down! read more
