Went to Taco Cabana at 9210 E R L Thornton Frwy at 10:30 PM Wednesday. Roommate has their App on his phone. Today only Special....1/2 price off Steak FJ Nachos. Went thru the drive thru busyyyyyyy guess E1 was using their App promo. The young lady at the window was a lil confused about the promo But after conferring with another employee we got his order along with sour cream and guacamole and sauce on the side at 10:45 PM. I told him those steak nachos better be tbone or ribeye steak nachos lol. Overall for $3.13 and the wait it was Not too bad. Needless to say we were greeted and served with a smile . I have to say considering how BUSY they were I really appreciated seeing those SMILES ....4 stars because the wait was a lil longer than I wanted. Thanks guys for your service and thank you for the extra sauce... on y'alls service...Awesome Thru ..we will definitely be back!

  • Rick Romero

I arrived at 6:30 am to order 3 boxes of the breakfast burritos (TC way) the cashier at the drive through was very accommodating and willing to do what it took to fill the order. In past experiences with Taco Cabana’s competitors, they seem to think that a order is to big to fillet that early in the morning. So they ask if I could call it in and come to find out they don’t open up the store that early. Early morning meetings is once a week for us, now my go to breakfast place is Taco Cabana! I highly recommend! Thanks Taco Cabana!

Worst experience ever! We waited 10mins or more at the speaker before anyone spoke on the intercom in the drive through. Once Ka’leah asked what we would like. We began to place our order… Ka’Leah acted as if she didn’t want to take our order!!! As we placed our order Ka’leah had a straight bad attitude!! When we got to the window Ka’leahs attitude got worse! She acted like she didn’t want to take our money she then argued with her co-worker about what to add to the our nachos. Ka’leah Had very very POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE!! Bad look on your company’s business!

  • Priscilla Freedman

The 2vtimes that I have visited this TC is VERY disappointing. Honestly, all taco cabana food should be consistent. This one is not the 1st time I ordered a cabana bowl it came in a box, not the taco shell. The 2nd time I visited this taco cabana, I ordered The Mexican pizza, light on beans, and chicken. It was loaded with beans and no chicken, or at least I couldn't find the chicken

  • Guadalupe Carlin

So 5 stars for food 0 stars for costumer service. If you’re planning to come to this location, be ready to spend 30-60 min in drive thru. Make sure you have enough gas. There’s no such thing as fast and friendly here. And there’s no way you can be tired of waiting and leave because it is one way in, 1 way out kinda thing. I’m at this location right now and had time to type, delete, retype this review. This lady didn’t say hello or even thank you just handed food and turned around… ‍♀️‍♀️just aweful…

  • BelloVita

Something has changed!! NOT FOR THE BETTER! When you walk in the building your met by smiling face while you are waiting a elderly lady begging gives you note explain what she need. I ordered a plate nacho with steak. the cheese is different. It’s definitely CANNED Yellow CHEESE. If you’ve ever been to a taco cabana then you know they do not use yellow cheese. The steak is OLD & HARD. Cant forget while your eating someone will come and clean with BLEECH leaving a strong bleach smell. Overall I’m disgusted.

  • Daryl Smith

Just got off work. Wanted something quick to eat. Went in the drive thru. I ordered the chicken fajita nachos. As you can see by the pic. this is what I got. Chips were stale. Where’s the cheese??? Then on top of that I ordered a large strawberry drink. Got all the way home and found out it was carbonated water. Immediately called several times but didn’t get an answer so here’s my review. 10 bucks wasted. Never again, not at that location.

  • Maizy Galaviz

The girl seemed upset it was hard to hear her with all the cars passing through i had to repeat myself 3 times but i can look overpass that, but what i can't over look is the fact i found hair in my enchilada i ordered the Mexican plate, it was good until the hair part. I paid for food not hair. Please wear a hairnet when you are dealing with peoples food

The food here was excellent. The place was very clean. They have awesome margaritas as well. You can even margaritas to go here. I went into this place thinking it was gonna be like a Taco Bell but it wasn't. It was much much more. Remember to drink responsibly.

  • Garry Rodriguez

Food is consistently good. Glad they went back to strips of beef steak instead of chopping it into small pieces. The chain seems to have been struggling over the past ten years or so. Maintenance issues abound. Of late some hit and miss upkeep has been happening across many of the stores I visited. The monthly bank account statement use to show a good many more charges at TC. Now-a-days not so much.

  • Lareesha Harkless

I had the worst experience ever tonight. I asked for fresh flautas and I received old, warm, burnt flautas. It was about 9pm so there was no reason I couldn't receive freshly made flautas. I use to work at taco cabana so I can tell when they are freshly made. So disappointed. Wish I could give you guys no stars. On top of that they were rude and standing around talking and laughing.

  • Kevyn Bennett

The drive trough was very slow, we sat there for 20-30 minutes I could have had a nice nap, and that's not the first time and then I asked for NO cheese on anything because I have a dairy allergy and they put cheese on my taco. Taco cabana you have got to pick up the pace or your not going to stay there very long, the food was ok though, but don't recommend it.

They’ve even been courteous enough to offer me something to drink. They have such positive attitudes and amazing personalities. One of my favorite places to get breakfast at!

  • Alexis Ortiz

This isn't going to be an authentic experience, however, it is pretty good for being a chain restaurant. Out of the the Taco Cabanas I've been to, this one does it best. The tacos are hot, they are well filled, and the service is friendly and prompt. It really looks like the employees here genuinely care about their location.

  • Morgan Sabella

Very rude. Ordered two bean and cheese nachos, they only charged for 1 and we caught it before leaving the drive through and asked for another one. They then charged us for chips and queso and when we tried to explain to them that’s not what we ordered they just handed us more queso and closed the window. Absolutely insane.

Ordered some nachos and the chips were so hard I had to throw the nachos away! When I went back up there and asked how they were prepared she said they fried the chips in morning and I asked could they not fry mine due to the previous experience I had, she had the nerve to tell me I could order something else! …

  • Monica G

Never really been to any other cabana here in Dallas, this one is closest to me. But we like it, service sometimes is a little slow, but not too bad. And the food has always been good. We tend to order online then pickup thru the drive thru, its faster that way. And this place is always clean. Do recommend.
