Customer service just isn't what it used to be anymore. That's why I'm writing this review. We went to the location at Bandera and 1604 the evening of May 5th. We went through the drive thru and the lady who took our order was just as nice and kind as can be. She didn't rush our order, she was polite, professional and respectful. When you get treated right you have no excuse to not treat them right in return. We answered her questions with yes ma'am or no ma'am and we could clearly understand what she was saying. She didn't say "what else" or "is that all". And when we pulled up to the window she was smiling and just made our visit pleasant. Not to mention when we got home we actually had everything we asked for in our bags. The receipt didn't have her name but I sure hope she gets recognized for this somehow. Whoever you are keep it up and please teach these young kids how to act. She made our entire dinner pleasant and relaxing just with her kind attitude.

I know good help is hard to find but holy cow. I think this place will only hire you if you have less than a 3rd grade eduction and you’re drooling on yourself. So first I rarely go here because every time I do they get my order wrong. Today was great though. I ordered two chorizo egg and cheese tacos, and they gave me bean tacos. It was even correct on the receipt. So I went back inside with the food and asked for the correct order. The girl then held my food hostage until I returned the wrong food. Then I said well if your gonna throw them away can I keep them for my inconvenience. She then replied, “oh you’re one of those people just trying to get free food.” I said no obviously not I brought the wrong food back in, but you messed up my order which was an inconvenience to me. Then she just kept saying well that’s at policy that’s are policy. I understand policy, but I don’t understand accusing a customer of being shady when YOU made the mistake. This place is just trash.

  • Leah Land

I usually enjoy Taco Cabana, but this location has run out of chances with me. It was never the fastest or most efficient location - even pre-covid you could spend a half an hour waiting in the drive through at night, but it has sunk to new lows. My last visit, the line in the drive through was all the way around the building and not moving, but you could still go inside. I literally only needed a half dozen tortillas, so I ran in. There was another woman in front of me, who had been waiting for some time. After close to 15 minutes of never being greeted and nobody coming up to the front registers, the woman ahead of me called out to a worker who was taking an order out to the pick up spots. He hollered back that he might be able to break loose and come up to the front to take some orders at the registers in about ANOTHER 45 MINUTES. Are you kidding me? Apparently you don't exist if you didn't order online. I guess I won't be going back.

I've lived in Helotes TX for the past 12yrs now. I've been going to this Taco Cabana since, sadly their quality of food is steadily declining since I moved out here. My favorite item is the steak fajita tacos, the meat used to be lean and had a nice firmness to it with great flavor. Now as time has gone by I noticed and find myself picking out large pieces of fat and nerve endings out more and more often. The food there lacks quitly preparation by staff and recently the restaurant had a nasty smell when I walked over by the soda machine. I can understand it can be busy, but come on! Prices are going up alot and quality is going down. I'm willing to pay for good food, you guys need to get it together!!! Just know that customers can and do notice when staff doesn't care and employees are burned out... Just my 2 cents.

  • AnnaLysa Alba

If it were possible to give zero stars I would. Apparently going there between the hours of 1pm-10pm are the worst hours to go for good service and hot food. I have gone between all of those hours and service was SLOW SLOW SLOW. In my most recent experience there was only one car in front of me and the entire experience took well over 25 minutes. The drive thru line (which you can see) only had one person and she was slow and when we asked them to hurry up through the window the young lady was laughing. Though she wasn’t laughing once her manager came around. The manager wasn’t too great either, we told him the issue and he didn’t even address it. All the manager was say, “Okay,” with a long face and handed us our food. Not to mention when I arrived home the food was cold and there was barley any meat in my tacos.

  • Ellen Ball

This is the worst Taco Cabana I’ve ever been too. Every single time I go they never get my order right and everything single time I just want to call and show them pictures . Unfortunately I live right next to it and when I have the kids it’s quick and close. When I order bean and cheese I say light beans and always always end up with more beans and no cheese almost like they’re doing it on purpose. My 3 year old gets upset because the beans are everywhere . If I order chips and queso with extra salsa on the side , they’ll throw in ONE salsa . It’s pretty ridiculous. Whoever is the manager needs to step up. I dread going but sometimes it’s the only choice in such short notice . Not one time have I gotten my order right

Taco Cabana used to be a favorite but then I noticed that the tortillas started getting smaller, smaller portions, the salsa’s started tasting sour as if the tomatoes went bad, so I quit going. Well I stopped in for a classic bean&cheese and I wanted to try the mango margarita(lol), and to my surprise, the salsa tasted fresh, they put more than a teaspoon of beans on my taco, the place was clean, friendly customer service and very inviting. It’s crazy when some of these big food chains start making changes that “pad their pockets” and lower the quality of the food(like Taco Bell).And it is a wonderful thing to see when they actually stop being greedy and make a “come back”. I think this taco cabana is one of the “come back” franchises. We can all hope that all of them are doing the same thing.

  • T.A. Roane

My husband and I decided to give this place a try after saying we want to try it since moving here earlier this year and Taco Cabana didn't disappoint the food was hot and fresh we ordered the beef nacho grande a soft beef taco and 3 hatch pepper pork street tacos let me just say we were very shocked and surprised at how big the nacho order was it's huge and delicious the beef taco was good as well. My husband said the hatch pepper street tacos were good and definitely had a kick of heat. We will definitely be back and being from the East Coast I can honestly say when all you have really had is Taco Bell as "Mexican" food we both agree Taco Bell who??? They have nothing on this place.

It's Taco Cabana, so of course the food was great. What stood out most for me was the bacon was nice and crispy. Very few Taco Cabanas make crispy bacon. Some of them make him to where it's so fatty that you gag on the bacon when you eat it. But it's still good. The customer service was great. I guess the only thing I found a little bit annoying was that I asked if they could change the TV station to something else and they said they had to leave it on that one particular Spanish station. I've never seen that in any restaurant I've ever been to all my life but oh well. I didn't ask why because it's not about a debate. Otherwise it's one of my favorite Taco Cabanas in San Antonio

  • infinity_dylan !!!

Got there around 7. Waiting at the counter till 7:30!!!! The guy was very passive aggressive! Didn’t repeat order which I ended up not getting half my order. My friends food came out 25 minutes before mine and we order the same thing like a minute apart. I decided to go back up there to get the rest of my order and all the workers were standing near the drive through just stairing at me like I wasn’t even there. I ended up not ordering AGAIN and left. Horrible customer service. This location needs to be shut down immediately or they need to be trained properly by corporate. This was ridiculous!!!

A San Antonio Original! Great Mexican food 24/7. A bit more expensive than say Taco Bell, but Taco Cabana uses real meat and fresh ingredients in their food so you get what you pay for. Plus when was the last time you got a margarita at Taco Bell? They even have a salsa bar with a variety of flavors to choose from. Edit 11/25/2020: Service at this location has deteriorated. Long lines in drive through. Mistakes on simple orders. I ordered 3 chicken fajita tacos, 3 beef fajita tacos, 2 beef tacos and a cheese quesadilla. I was shorted a beef fajita taco and got a chicken quesadilla. I normally wouldn't complain but my receipt was correct and my order was still bungled.

  • Louis Perez

For quick drive though order, we waited 45 minutes in line til the one vehicle in front of my wife and I made it to the window. There was a line behind us as well. I could see the lady in front of us arguing with the mgr but still wouldn't move out of line, so that the rest of us customers could drive though. By the time I made it up to the drive though window I could see all the orders were ready and getting cold . I will return to TC but not to this location (bandera & 1604)

I just ordered lunch from here. There chips are all stale. The steak nachos with queso barely had queso. My chicken fajita nachos barely had shredded cheese AND that cheese was cold. I called and the girl said "we don't melt the shredded cheese, it melts because the meat is hot". The manager said "the containers we put the food in say don't microwave on the bottom so we don't microwave them". This is the most pathetic stuff I've gotten from here. And I paid $30.14 for this ridiculous food. I just used my own shredded cheese at home to try to salvage this and the chips are so gross it's useless! Oh, and there was a piece of bone in the shredded chicken taco.

  • Vahid Zarezadeh

It was my first visit at this Taco Cabana location and ordered "Chicken Fajita Quesadilla" and "Cabana Sampler plate". Here are my concerns: 1. Chicken was over-cooked and burnt 2. Refried beans were old and scraped from the bottom of the pot 3. Chips portion was small 4. Sauces section was empty 5. In the drinks section, Dr Pepper dispenser delivered sparkling water! 6. Restaurant atmosphere was full of gnats 7. Restrooms were so dirty that you did not want to go there! I would definitely not stop at this location ever!

  • Plant Mom

I don’t know why I continue to go to TC located on 1604 & Bandera Rd, by Silverado. Every single time they screw up my simple order. This is the first time in about 4 months and a simple order of 4 bean & cheese tacos with extra cheese and sour cream came to me without extra cheese and zero sour cream! Typical. I know to check my order before leaving and of course went back in to at least get my sour cream, and did they apologize? NO. Did they offer to make it right with something complimentary? NO. Nothing! Just handed me a container of sour cream & turned around and started working again. Rude. Incompetent. Lacking in decent customer service.

  • Benjamin Orozco

Decided to eat at this location after the movies. The customer service was great, but the food was not really great. I think it's just the quality of the products they give this guys. Very young people working here, so I was surprise how well they treated us. Thank you, guys!

Slowest "fast" food ever!!! It took over 30 min in the drive-thru. I asked why so slow and the worker said they were under-staffed because people keep quitting. I can see why they would quit. 8/12/17 Update Tried going inside to order tonight. They said it would be at least a 30 minute wait. They were right. It ended up being 35 minutes. The salsa bar was mostly empty and the drink station was out of small lids and napkins. A few people that ordered before I did gave up and asked for a refund. I wonder if it is just a problem with insufficient staffing at this location. The one on Culebra Rd never seems slow.

  • Clay Burch

All I have to say is OMG!!! The food here is bloody amasing to say the least. I'm from New York, and we have Chipotle, and Taco Bell, but none of them can touch Taco Cabana. The menu was impressive, and the staff was excellent in taking care of my order (Melissa and Kayla). They were very courteous, and knowledgeable of the menu. I got my food expeditiously, and when I took the first bite I was hooked. I wish they had this in NY. This will be my Taco spot from now on when I come to Texas.

I normally love Taco Cabana but I was a little disappointed on this trip. I am not normally ordering breakfast so maybe I just didn't know what to expect. I ordered a couple potato, egg, & cheese tacos and they were quite bland. I probably should have ordered something different. I think Taco Cabana has the best tortillas around. Nice and think and yummy. My wife loves their shredded chicken tacos but you can't go wrong with their fajitas, enchiladas, or bean & cheese tacos. They are all fantastic.

I’m not one to ever leave reviews on places when there’s one bad experience but I come to this location multiple times a week for dinner and most nights the crew isn’t exactly friendly and my order has been jumbled a few times. However tonight I was very surprised at the staff, the girl working double checked with me on what the order was, and was very polite and everyone inside was smiling and joking around(which is always a great environment). I didn’t get the names of who was working but would love to come here more often with this evening crew working!

  • nacera benslimane

This was def the best experience I've had at TC's, or really any drive thru [except Starbucks :)] in a long time. Chelsea, who took my order was so helpful and... just awesome. She was helpful, far beyond a customers expectations, and the smile in her voice was a cherry. Kyro, at the drive-thru put effort into insuring my order was correct and did so with kindness. And the food was amazing and fresh, so shout out to the cooks, whose names I didn't catch. Great crew, someone needs to give them all a raise! :) I may have found a new addiction ❤️

  • G H

We have been coming to this location for years after mass on Sundays and lately their service has taken a slump. This place needs help with operating under pandemic conditions. They open and close dine-in at random times without notice. We were at the drive thru waiting for 15 mins. only to be turned away at the order box due to 'last minute decision to clean'. That was a bad experience. Haven't these people heard of traffic cones or signs??? Or some other way to advise other than causing the patron inconvenience. We won't be returning.

  • Joann Welkener

I ordered two chorizo and egg tacos. When I got home and opened the foil wrappers for both, the flour tortillas were drenched in chorizo oil. I opened the tacos and saw that the chorizo wasn’t mixed with the egg. They were separated. The tacos were not edible because I couldn’t even pick them up from all the oil on the tortillas! They didn’t even look appealing to eat because of all of the orange chorizo oil all over the tortillas. I will not be getting my chorizo and egg tacos at this location again.

This place is ridiculous I place a curbside order from the app. When I got here I called the number they have to let them know I was here. Goes straight to voice mail. I drive through the drive through to inform them I’m here for my order. The girl doesn’t even know what curbside is. So then they tell me to park in the front for them to make my food. That I ordered ahead of time. I have waited for over 30 mins. Never again.

Stopped by on May 1, 2020 during covid-19 for just a margarita togo and a puffy taco. After waiting some time, I called in to speak to the manager. I must say he was very professional, had a GREAT attitude considering how busy they were that day. I rarely stop at a taco bell, but I will certainly continue giving this location my business! As a team they work hard to make the customer happy! Thanks so much for having an outstanding attitude and taking the time to provide exceptional customer service.

  • Elaine Brazil

We ordered a beef fajita taco with cilantro, onions & peppers and an order of beef fajita nachos. We were told that the nachos automatically came with sour cream & guacamole. When we started to eat we discovered that the taco had no cilantro or onions and the nachos had no sour cream or guacamole and the refried beans were just dumped in the middle in a big nasty clump. This whole experience left us very unsatisfied & frustrated!!! Horrible customer service!!! We won't be going back!!

  • Jane C

Tables weren't clean. My refried beans had a very weird taste, almost like mint. My husband had soggy white quesadillas. (Like they were microwaved). The tea tasted old and watered down. The drink machine didn't have syrup in it. Taco Cabana used to be our favorite fast food restaurant in San Antonio. Was so disappointed.

  • Zach Silva

Ordered 10 bean and cheese tacos and 2 carne guisada tacos. I might as well have ordered 10 bean tacos as there was little to no cheese in them. The carne guisada was shocking to open and find, literally 2 small shreds of meat, and sauce. My husband was baffled. We’ve always had issues with this taco cabanas ability to get the order right and their timeliness on fulfilling the orders but this was bad. Just a reminder of why we don’t come here anymore.

  • Joe West

The restaurant was dirty, the salsa bar was a mess. Was told by someone in my party, the restrooms were dirty. We had to ask for the little salsa cups as they were out. I Ordered the personal fajitas skillet, did not receive a skillet, but a whole bunch of little boxes They packed the whole order to go, even though we were eating in with the table tent. Overall, this restaurant was a very disappointing. The food was served barely warm. $47.00 wasted.

  • Lawrence Jay

I love the variety of food that Taco Cabana has. I love the way the meat they have are seasoned to perfection. The price is good for the food they serve I also like the fact that you can order a margarita or a beer with your meal. I would recommend eating at this place anytime and take your family and friends to have a good meal. The people working there it's very professional and very helpful I recommend Taco Cabana to continue to hire good people.

  • Gabriel Reeves

We ordered food online and it gave us a pick-up time. When we arrived, there was no other cars in the parking lot, nor in the drive thru. I walked inside and the place was empty. I checked in at the time given and was told they were working on it. I sat there for the next 25 minites waiting on an order for 5 people. No one else came in or through the drive thru. This place has no sense of urgency and is terribly managed. Terrible experience.

  • Stephanie Ramirez

Worst service. Took 30 minutes to get our food (2 breakfast tacos and 1 breakfast plate). In the time we were here, 2 customers asked for refunds and someone waiting in the drive thru got out of their car to come inside and complain. Also, the establishment itself is not great... damaged artwork, missing tile pieces from the wall, damaged walls from chairs. Overall not a great experience. Only good thing was the food was hot when served.

  • Kyle Kenworthy

I guess I picked pick up instead of curbside side, and when I called the lady refused to bring out the food and I tried explaining I'm trying to be very covid cautious because I work with children and elderly and she hung up. Then when I went in I waited for over 5 minutes for an employee to address me just to tell me my food was "somewhere" over to the left but not sure where.... by far the worst customer service I've ever experienced

  • Thomas Weaver

Picking up an online order was difficult. Bag was missing items and clerk seemed to doubt my claim as to what I had ordered. The missing items were 1 order of chips and 2 orders of queso, items obviously not in the bag (also, the clerk should be aware of what is being passed to a customer). Ordering online should make it easier to get the order right. Maybe try ordering inside at the counter, or just go somewhere else to eat.

  • Steven Smeltzer

They are way to slow making the food. I have waited over 40 minutes for my food. Today was the worst. I waited 12 minutes to put in my order and there was no acknowledgement from any of the employees even though at least 3 saw me.i have seen other customer leave or get angry because of the wait. I was a long term customer, but I will not go back.

Sat at the order booth for 5 minutes before someone came on to take my order. Ordered a steak fajita taco plate and a large unsweet tea. Very simple order, that the person taking the order could not remember after repeating it 3 times. Person appeared unfamiliar with the menu. Decided to leave without completing order since their food is mediocre anyways and didn't feel like struggling to order mediocre food.

  • Kimberly

This is half the size of normal bean and cheese. I put that there for a size comparison. This is unacceptable. It's like a miniature taco. I think the street tacos were even bigger than these! The beef nachos hardly have any beef fsjita on it and my son found a hard bone in it and hurt his mouth. Im disappointed. Had to to put bean and cheese back inside the tortilla because of the way it is wrapped.....

  • Lulu Avalos

I love taco cabana but this location got one star on my part ! I ordered a bean and cheese taco combo , a side of corn on the cup, and one crispy taco plate ... they forgot to include the chips and queso that comes with the bean and cheese combo. Crispy taco plate horrible presentation and beef was cold! Don’t recommend the corn on the cup! Cold too no mayo or butter plus the cheese tasted horrible!

  • Hanover

We were there close to closing time, so understandably they were out of some items. However many tables were dirty as was the floor, and we were "encouraged " to order as take-out, not dine-in. Food was tasty!

Third time I have come for large fajita order and every time I have a very long wait time. It is just the beginning of lunch no one can in the place but me and a full chicken fajita order is taking longer than 15 minuets. When I expressed my dissatisfaction no one seemed to care. It is freezing cold in here as well and I am told the heat is not working. I Love Taco Cabana just not this one.

  • Benjamin WasHere

Always love Taco Cabana. Spicy tri tip steak fajitas with guacamole, delicious. And free-flowing 24 hour margaritas… What other drive-through ever had that before Taco Cabana? I’ve moved to Los Angeles, where the only fast food Mexican restaurants are at the level of Taco Bell. You can appreciate my pain. It’s good to be visiting here, and once again be able to enjoy, Taco Cabana...

  • Diana Barron

Food was good and server was very polite. I haven't been back to Texas in over a year so my husband and I definitely missed the food. We ordered a medium drink and when we received it, it looked a lot like a large when compared to Maryland's drink sizes. My only complaint is that I wish the tacos were a little bigger due to their price. But overall, good food and great service.

  • Eric Trinidad

Horrible do not ever come here we have been in drive thru for 40 mins and we could not leave because the car infront was waiting also. So if you would like to sit and wait ✋️ for half the titanic movie, now your chance . After finally ordering, we were not told our total, and the kid seemed upset at life.

TC is a must have when I am in San Antonio to visit family. The food is always good and prices are reasonable. This location has become our favorite. We visited today and our order was correct, the food was hot and delicious and the dining, drink dispenser area, and salsa bar was clean and well stocked. They have the best flour tortillas and we always bring some home.

  • David Lee

Clean as a whistle and good service! We went yesterday (Veteran's Day) and they automatically took off 50% of the price of my meal (any meal) in honor of being a veteran and thanked me for my service. Food was good and generous amounts and tasty. There is a new menu and the food from that menu looked very good. I will be back to try more selections! Thank you!

  • Steven Gonzales

We needed to have our order corrected 4 times, in a relatively empty restaurant, and each time was met with a disrespectful attitude. I don't think most people expect much from fast food places, but the level of incompetence at this location was dumbfounding. When my father asked for a salted margarita, he was given a margarita in a cup and salt in a cup.

  • Courtney Yunc

Just ordered from there and one taco was inedible (ground beef taco pictured) while another was just cold, but okay. (The ground beef had to be sitting for hours!) Their saving grace was their quesadilla and queso, those were where the stars came from. I hadn't tried TCs in about two years and I'll probably wait that long to go back, if ever.

  • Guadalupe Torres

Went there April 6th at around 2pm rude staff except for the manager, and not tasty at all! The tacos were bland and dry no flavor and they messed up on the food. The bigger lady working in the kitchen gave us dirty looks after letting her know she messed up on our order when she took our order herself! The only good thing was the cheese dip.

  • Peter Riendeau

Drive through can be tough at 6pm, I get it, but the attitude from the staff was unfriendly and unwelcoming. Also no salsa offered or provided, and no sour cream or guacamole with the quesadilla. Bad experience.

Taco Cabana is great, but not this location. The staff is horrendously slow and every trip to the drive thru takes 15 min or more. It's worth driving the extra miles to find another one. If you do decide to go here, check your food because the order is often wrong. They also throw your order in a box randomly. Bring some paper towels.

  • Eric Canupp

The crew was so kind to my family and seemed like a great bunch of people to hang with! They had us laughing while we waited for our food. This TC crew knows how to keep customer loyalty. Every person on this crew needs a raise. We visited on 7/19 @ 6:45pm.

I only order from here because my husband loves TC’s and we usually eat together. I’m vegan and always have to build my order as there is nothing on the menu that complies. 9 times out of 10 my order is wrong. Wish the Beyond Beef was kept in stock, they almost never have it when I come. Never look forward to my experience here :/

  • K Sny

Not been here in many years and I can say without fear of correction that the food was better than I remember. Staff was amiable and efficient. Food was excellent. Barbacoa, chorizo and egg, with bean cheese n bacon. Good start to a Sunday morning.

It was okay. Kind of sub par and over priced. I got a chicken quesadilla and my boyfriend got 4 tacos - 2 bean/chz, 2 chicken - he did this so he could put the chicken in the bean/chz tacos bc they are small. But that’s most fast food Mexican places.

Tex Mex priced correctly for the Demographics in the Alamo Ranch location. I spoke to soon prices are to much for the quality of food. Now menu hand drinks have gone up again. I asked they lady at the drive through what kind of white cheese they are promoting and she replied back . "I don't know I don't eat this stuff?? Wow

  • Vince Salas

This location is getting progressively worse through time. I have received wrong orders plus food quality quanity is getting bad. Today I ordered fajita nachos with just a few pieces of cheese and small quantity of fajitas. Looks like i was just eating chips only. They also messed up the order after verifying correclty.

  • Ben Quintana

My last meal at TC. Carney Guisada is like dog food. Guacamole is borderline black. Rice looks like it was precooked and reheated and was still undercooked. Freshest thing on the plate was the lettuce and that tasted old. TC was a weekly thing growing up. Not anymore, DONE! Much better whole in the wall spots to go to.

  • Lori “TheLoriLu” Pleasant

It’s Halloween!!!! Its 11:00 pm and I’m with my kids. First, the lady who took our order was rude. And then we wait over 10 minutes for anyone to show up to the window. What kind of service is this? And then the food? No thanks

  • Stephen Packen

This location struggles to maintain efficiency and quality. There is always a wait when utilizing the drive through, regardless of the number of cars in line. This location has poor management as the staff are young and always playing around, so please expect average to less than average quality food.

  • Twinkle Eyes

Just moved in the area about a month ago and first time I went they messed up my order but went a second time on a different occasion to get the benefit of the doubt. I asked for 4 bean and cheese tacos and they were more like beans tacos than with cheese. Won't be coming here to this location, bye!

  • James HW

Been a while since we stopped here for the special. Today we watched the car ahead of us drive off after waiting more than 20 minutes for their order, and more than 30 minutes from our order to service, 20 more for service. Food was hot, meal well prepared. But 45 minutes in the car a bit much.

  • Jayvaunit01

The food here was good. It came out hot and was very tasty. I recommend the jalapeno & bacon ranch tacos. The staff I interacted with was very professional and friendly. The bathrooms were clean and the salsa bar was clean as well. Overall I'd say this location is a 4 star experience. 2/17/2018

  • Daniel Earhart

Marcus has a fine crew working with him at night. They appear clean, were professional, and displayed courteous attention to their patrons. There was a slight problem with my order last week and they fixed the issue to make it right. The inside is nice too, a good spot to come in for a bite.

  • Heather Donahue

Do all taco cabanas have terrible service? Attendant had trouble taking our order. Even drinks took a long time. Then they brought a burrito when I ordered a Cabana bowl. To top it all there was hardly any shredded chicken on anything. We should have gone to Taco Bell!!!

  • nicole bongiorno

Service is pretty good. I find lettuce in my soft drink all of the time and that's strange. Sometimes they ask if I want salsa and when I answer yes I think that there will be salsa in the bag. Not always. Overall good, cheap, place to eat. I recommend their margaritas

  • AAA R

I ordered some tacos from this place and these folks are literally handing you a tortilla without any filling. I called to talk to them about it and of course No great response here so yea, never going back. There’s other restaurants that give you your money’s worth.

  • A M

These TC places keep impressing me, though I only went to this one's drive thru and haven't seen the inside. So far TC hasn't gotten my order wrong like other places recently. Only 4 starts because while the pork and chicken were great, the steak had a funny taste.

  • Bill Ingram

Taco Cabana usually has good food & there's 1 a lot closer to me than the one on the Northwest Side that I picked up from last night. I got the Steak Street Taco plate. Tacos were better than okay, but I didn't like them a Lot. Rice & borracho beans were average.

  • Dustin Maltsberger

Went in at 11 pm. Drive thru was fast. Food was fresh and delicious. Got the kickin nachos and a enchilada plate. Both were

Ordered chicken cabana bowl. Got shell of refried beans, no rice, no lettuce , chicken pieces , tomatoes & sourcream to cover up. Threw in garbage. They are known for screwing up orders. Stay away from store on 1604 by Bandera road. This happens way to often!!!

This is my plates from this is taco Cabana and I was waiting for more than 30 mins and I need to even called them to tell them I'm still waiting and the guy said oh they still haven't bought out to you? And when I arrived home surprise no beans! wow....

  • Dede B

Don't order the kicking Nachos. Bunch of chips and they just dump a pile of beans, cheese in the middle and leave plain chips outside of the middle. LAZY!!! Your are best to go a couple of miles down bandera they know how to make them.

  • Joint email for Finnegan Turner

They were actually serving food off dirty trays. I saw them lift a dirty tray off the counter, place food on it, and service it to someone else. Really?! Even my number had food on it. Clean this place up. It's dirty.

  • Deborah Naville

Food is always great but SOOOOOOO SLOWWWWWWW ... We were the only ones in there and there was no one in drive thru and it took almost 15 minutes to get our tacos .. they were delicious but that's a very long wait

Usually Taco Cabana has outstanding food. On this particular visit I ordered beef fajitas, rice and beans. The meat had strips of hard gristle and the rice cold and clumpy. The beans were great.
