    It's been a little over 15 years since I last dined here despite driving by it often. Last week, I thought I would try it again. I ordered the ground beef taco combo for a little over $10 tax included. It came either a fountain drink and chips and queso. While I waited I admired the glum interior and thought it needed a remodel to bring it into the 21st century. The food arrived shortly after ordering and the taste was ho hum. The small queso lasted through 1/3 of the chips and was the best part of the meal. The tacos lacked taste and flavor. Honestly, I would have gotten a better meal at Taco Bell and saved $3. Maybe I will try this place again 15 years from now and then maybe not. I don't understand how Taco Cabana can stay in business with food like this.

    I hope this review doesn't get anyone in trouble but I have to give a huge shout about my breakfast taco. I ordered two chorizo and bean breakfast tacos and both we overflowing with goodness! Hot and fresh even though I used the app. I know I must sound like a bot but wow! Thank you ladies!!! I saw and old school crew holding it down this Sunday morning.

    Regularly get our orders wrong, food is unseasoned, salsa bar is weak compared to pre-Covid. The only thing saving them from a one star review are those awesome to-go margaritas.

    They suck. They're always messing up drive through orders. I asked for my queso on the side and they didn't give me any at all. Also this is all the meat I received on my cheese less nachos. Make them repeat your order back and triple check your bag before you leave. What if this was my thirteenth reason? Also they forgot our straws and our sodas are flat (: The store wasn't even busy for them to mess up

    Our happy hour margaritas were served in the water glasses and not the correct larger cups with the logo. What a rip off!

    Really disappointed in how much this location has been deteriorating in service and value. This used to be my favorite location but now it's gone downhill. The employees are slow and unmotivated. Management, what's going on?? The food is not as good and the happy hour glass size depends on who is at the register. There is no consistency. My husband and I stopped by Sunday at 5:30pm for happy hour margaritas and they were served in a smaller cup than the regular cups with the logo we have gotten in the past. They served our margaritas in the clear water cups. What a rip off!!! Management needs to perform a quality and consistency assessment and there needs to be a turn around with the employee customer service.

    Sad.

    Had lunch last week and the steak fajita tasted horrible. Similar to 5 day old microwaved, stove cooked steak. Go by this morning to get a brkfst taco, hoping for better steak, I think it's 7 days old now.

    Supposed to be a fajita steak quesadilla...Where's the beef?

    Food quality & customer service for some locations have declined dramatically! Service is slow.

I parked and an attendant told me it was supposed to be valet... oops! But he let me stay there and then brought me my car back after we ate. The vibe was cute! Very dated (but in a fun Vintage way) ambiance on the outside and very rustic Tex Mex vibe on the inside. They told us it would be 45 minutes and it was probably closer to an hour and 15 but we checked out the market across the street while we waited. We finally got seated and met our waiter, who I believe was named Jose (I should not have waited this long to do my review!) and he was awesome! Funny, attentive, and super friendly. We ordered the Queso Flameado as a starter. I had never had it nor ever seen anything like it but oh my goodness, it was DELICOUS. I ordered the Antiquas (cheese enchiladas) as my main meal and not only were they so good, but the portion size was huge as well. For $17 I definitely got my money's worth! I left full, happy, and would definitely come back the next time I'm visiting Houston. Well worth the wait!

For drinks, my husband and our friends tried some of the margaritas from their large and unique margaritas menu, as well as their hibiscus agua fresca. All of the drinks were very pretty and it seemed like everyone enjoyed them, too! We started with their chips and salsa trio, which we all really liked. The chips were on the thicker side, but were crispy and not stale or chewy at all. Each of the salsas were quite different, and two were served warm, which we really liked! For the price, I'd consider getting the chips and salsa as a non-negotiable, honestly. For entrees, we tried the enchilada rojas, chilaquiles verde w/ chicken and beef, birria barbacoa ramen, and huaraches. My husband felt like his ramen could have included more meat, but aside from that everyone really enjoyed what they ordered. The highlight was probably the desserts, though! We got a quatro leches and two ordered of their giant and amazing churros. Both were incredibly tasty and reason enough to return for another visit in the future!

That tamale was amazing. I would get several orders of that soft white tamale by itself to go. And the service was a 10/10.

Service was remarkable and very friendly from the host to the cleaning staff. Food was delicious. I really appreciated the creative flavors that were inspired by authentic Mexican cuisine. Standouts were the guacamole and wagyu carne asada, but everything was fantastic. I loved the Clara cocktail and enjoyed learning about the process to create it. It is clear that there was care and attention behind each menu item. Also, the pace of the food being brought out was evenly paced, which I appreciate, and our server gave us just the right amount of attentiveness. We celebrated my husband's birthday here, and they sent out a tres leches with a candle on it. Very kind and very delicious dessert. Usually not a big fan of tres leches, but this one was not overwhelmingly soaked in condensed milk, and it has a very fresh tasting peach (seasonal) puree drizzled on top. We will most definitely return.

We ordered the breakfast burrito and the duck carnitas. We added barbacoa to the burrito, and it was honestly the definition of comfort food. It was EXTREMELY greasy though, so I ended up eating it with a fork and knife. If I had been home alone... I probably would've just shoved the whole thing in my mouth. I couldn't not order the duck carnitas. It came on a sope, which is basically my definition of the perfect Mexican brunch. It was really yummy, and I especially loved the salsa that came with it. My only real critique is that the portions felt a little on the smaller side. Either bump them up a bit or add a small side, because I definitely could've eaten a little more.

Service: waitress: was sweet and she took our order and checked on us 3 times the entire meal. She did not ask or offer any type of hot sauce or other condiments when my food was delivered to the table. Manager: this is what really cost them, tried to deny me entry because of my service dog. Said he had to call the owner because they didn't allow pets. I told the manager that it was a servive dog who was working. Then after calling the owner, still tried to talk me out of eating there. The manager and owner need to learn the laws that protect people with disabilities that require service animals. Texas Human Resources Code, Chapter 12. https://guides.sll.texas.gov/animal-law/service-animals Food: given that this was a "mexican restaurant", it lacked flavor and spice. The bacon wrapped stuffed jalapeños were overly greasy and had 0 heat. My birria nachos were decent but still lacked in flavor category. The only thing that saved them from a 1 star was the fun atmosphere. Do better and learn from your mistakes.
