    My old stomping ground from many years ago. I got the Cabana Bowl with steak fajita; it was really good, like all things on the menu at Taco Cabana. Tonight I just did a drive-thru; my norm would be to go in and enjoy all the different sauces and the atmosphere. It's such a vibe here, But my furbaby was with me. But, you know what was so sweet? The girl working the drive-thru talking to my little girl.

    Aaah Taco Cabana. My dear old friend. This is the only location left around me. Was in the area doing some shopping with my sister & dropped by for a quick bite. Since it was mid day on Wednesday, it was empty which was awesome! We ordered good ol Cabana bowls & $2 ritas. I noticed it was clean & didn't have that funky old smell. Lady working the front was nice & got our orders right. She gave us plenty of salsas without hassle. Which I for one appreciated. I'm so annoyed when you order food & it's like pulling teeth to get more than 1 ketchup, salsa, etc. Our food was fresh. We both got shredded chicken & it was tasty. Portions of meat, beans, rice, etc. were balanced. Not just a bunch of lettuce with a teaspoon of chicken. The $2 ritas weren't bad. In case you're wondering, this location is still doing the to-go ritas & the salsa bar isn't back to regular self serve set up. Yelp on my friends!

    $15.00 down the drain. 3 expensive carne tacos. What a joke, Just some meat that is way too spicy, not a good spice just thrown together with no lettuce, tomato, pico, cilantro, onion, queso!

    Great service and wonderful atmosphereA must stop when shopping in the H 249! The taste is delicious, never disappointed. The salsa is smoking good as well, Don't forget the sapodillas are good, not the best.

    Against family opinion I do eat here on the regular- however..today was the breaking point for me. A hair in my food. I've had warning, I've come thru the drive-thru and seen no hairnets, Nike jogging pants even used as uniform attire, even employees using their cell phones while prepping food- gloves you may be wondering?... haven't seen them in use, haven't even seen hand washing with the multiple visits I've made. I know better, I'm IN food service. I'm loyal tho- I love TC and I was willing to chance it. I gave them the benefit of my patronage though for the last time. The hairy chicken taco is the breaking point for me. Too bad, the happy hour menu is pretty good.

    Piled trash.

    Had the burrito with chorizo yesterday. Egg was there but there was just a drop of chorizo-flavored sauce, no chorizo. No flavor. Terrible.

We visited around 5:00 PM on a Sunday and were pleasantly surprised to be seated immediately for a party of two without a reservation. The restaurant is huge, and despite being very busy, the service was efficient. We were seated in one of the back dining rooms and greeted with complimentary chips and salsa, both of which were delicious. The atmosphere was fantastic--packed with World Cup fans, with what felt like everyone wearing a soccer jersey. As fellow futebol fans, we loved the energy. Being from California, we're fortunate to have access to some excellent Mexican food, so we were a little hesitant about trying Tex-Mex. I ordered the chicken fajitas with flour tortillas and a passion fruit margarita. The chicken had a smoky flavor and a sauce that gave the dish a distinctly Texas-style twist. The flour tortillas were outstanding, and the refried beans and rice were just as enjoyable. The passion fruit margarita was also a standout and something I'd definitely order again. Overall, this was a great dining experience and a place I'd recommend for the atmosphere alone. The restaurant appears well-equipped to accommodate large groups, making it a great option for gatherings. Next time, I'd love to return with a bigger group and take advantage of one of their margarita pitchers!

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!

The "queso" w/carne seemed to be out of a can-it was orange & didn't have the consistency of real cheese- wasn't really cheese & was disgusting. It was $9.99. I am including a photo of the overcooked beef fajita. A senior citizen can get the all beef lunch fajita special for virtually the same price as the fajita combo here ALL DAY at Pappasitos. It definitely is enough for 2. The meat melts in your mouth. EVERYTHING is better quality than here. Teo charged $1.50 for perhaps 4 or 5 slices of lime to make the happy hour margaritas made with a gross mix drinkable. That's outrageous. It reminds me that I had stopped going long ago when they charged extra for onions on enchiladas. Come on. You don't charge extra for chopped onions! I have never been to another restaurant that does so. Some even provide carmelized grilled onions gratis. I'm convinced that a $15. YUMMY mango margarita at Pappasitos would have given us the same buzz & tasted better than 8 happy hour margaritas here. I used to love the in house made flour tortillas at Teo. Tonight they were tough & uneventful. We arrived on a week night when they were not busy. Neither of the salsas were as good as they used to be.The water pitcher didn't even have ice when they refilled the water. I have absolutely no desire to return. Why would I?

On one side was a family with three young children playing a loud game involving frequent shouting and slapping on the table. There was intermittent drumming which the parents were oblivious to. On the other side was a large group facing us engaged in very loud ongoing conversation. The result was an atmosphere that made it difficult to enjoy the meal. Service was also inconsistent. Our server offered chips to accompany the Tiradito but she never brought them. Overall, the evening was disappointing. Between the unwelcoming reception from the dour hostess, noisy seating arrangement and lapses in service, the experience was far from enjoyable. Could not wait to leave.
