We only get to Springfield once a month and always look forward to eating out. We had plans to go to a different place today (and now really wish we had) but saw a Facebook post about their $1 tacos so that's why we went there instead. Paul had the carnitas tacos and liked them very much. I ordered chicken fajitas and did not like them. I was impressed that the fajitas were mostly thin-sliced chicken (which I prefer) rather than half onions and green peppers. But I didn't care for the way they were seasoned and the chicken had a rubbery texture. The corn tortillas that came with the fajitas were larger than usual (which I like) but overcooked, crisp, which did not work for filling and folding. Chicken fajitas are one of Paul's favorites and even he didn't care for them. I also did not care for the salsa they bring out with the chips.
Service was very friendly, but we had to wait way too long for a check and finally just had to ask for it. Except for the $1 tacos, we cannot recommend the place, and we won't be back. Looks like the second review came in right after I posted mine. Thinking it might be an employee or one of the owners who saw and didn't like my honest review. But La Cabana needs to make some changes to its recipes and service before it can be one of the Springfield's top Mexican restaurants and compete with the best ones like Tortilleria Perches and Tacos El Gordo, just to name two. read more
