I had a pretty good taco salad that had a *boatload* of chicken chunks in it. Green stuff was fresh & crispy. White creamy stuff was smooth & rich flavored. Guacamole stuff was also smooth. Doctoring it with a few choices from their salsa bar jacked it's juice & added a touch of sweetness. No complaints in the flavor or portion size departments. At just a hair over $6 after tax for the taco salad and a glass of water, it was a plenty reasonably priced quick lunch. Premises were clean. Staff was busy takin' care of business cookin' & cleanin', so weren't particularly engaging or friendly. But they were doin' a good job so I can forgive them a bit of abruptness. I'd easily eat here again for the tasty vittles & reasonable price. read more

Taco Cabana - Taco salad with chicken. - Mexican Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

I love Taco Cabana, food is always yum! BUUUUT one issue that has been happening every time I order my #42...has happened MULTIPLE times and it seems to be an ongoing trend. I NEVER seem to get my entire order, I am always missing my crunchy taco. I ask to make sure is the taco in there and they always answer "yes". I get home and lo and behold...not there. It would be nice to not have to go back a 2nd time to get my entire order...Every. Single. Time. I will take some fault for not double checking the bag, but I don't go every day it's like 1-2x per month but my gosh! read more

Waited 30 minutes in the drive thru and they forgot part of my order. Pretty annoying

I went inside to order a to go order and it was quick and easy, out the door in 15mins. Food is always delicious no matter what you order.

If you order online they love to forget ur salsas, ask ur dasher or uber to ask again because I promise they will not put ur salsas

I showed up at 9:35 on October 21st. Online and on the door it says everyday 6am-10pm, not 6am- whenever we feel like it. I go through the drive through and no words besides "it's closed" are said. That is absolutely ridiculous. My wife is 8 months pregnant and all she wanted was taco cabana nachos. Try dealing with that. read more

Waited 10-15 minutes on a Tuesday night for a rude woman to answer. We decided not to stay and go somewhere else. Okish food for slightly higher cost and poor service that takes a long time. It is not fast, it is slow and you will be let down. read more

The food is very good at this place when they get it right. I go to this taco cabana very often and every time they always get my order wrong. I will ask for one specific thing and they don't provide it. It's very off and on when they have good service and provide everything. read more

I ordered fajitas platter. All I got was two tortillas each filled with a few pieces of steak with no sautés onion nor peppers. The sides were beans and rice. Also, I did get some guacamole with some lettuce, but no sour cream. I wouldn't call this a fajita platter, but a steak taco plate. Other than that, I like many other things they provide. I just won't order a fajita platter ever again. read more

is there child labor being used in the kitchen here? because it looks like a 4 year old rolled my bean and cheese burrito. i was so disappointed when i unwrapped the foil and saw it looked like this. it ended up just being a bunch of mush in my hands since the ends weren't properly rolled closed and there was a huge rip along the long side of the tortilla. i tried to salvage it and eat it, but it really just ended up being entirely unappetizing. would not order from this location again. the one at san mateo and i-25 actually know how to roll a proper burrito. i would've only given them 1 star, but their breakfast tacos are pretty yummy. read more

Taco Cabana - Bean and Cheese Burrito - Mexican Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

I've never had food that was as underwhelming and flavorless as the food at Taco Cabana. I ordered some beef tacos, a shredded beef and green chile burrito and my girlfriend ordered a chicken taco salad. The only good thing I can say about the beef tacos is that the tortilla itself had a good texture. Otherwise, the only thing you could taste is the lettuce. The beef had no flavor whatsoever. The shredded beef and green chile burrito was even worse. The confusing thing is that it's labeled as Shredded Beef and Green Chile burrito on the menu but the staff instead calls it a brisket and green chile burrito. This made sense after the fact when I bit into it. It was solid chunks of tough, flavorless meat. There was very little chile to the point where you couldn't even taste it. They might as well call it an All Beef Burrito. I'm only giving Taco Cabana 2 stars because my girlfriend liked the chicken taco salad. It was a big enough salad that she was able to save some for later. I'd say if you're in a rush and are really hungry and have no other choice then this food will do the job of just holding you off till your next meal. Don't expect quality food because it is not something Taco Cabana provides. read more

Yeap Now I Know why they are rated they way they are. First the person taking the order was just plain rude! People please you are taking orders and there no line so why rush me! She sounded bothered. Food wise also not good! I live about 4 minutes away and when I arrived home the food was extremely cold! It's like they didn't bother to warm it up. The Lengua taco was so blend for $3 something a taco it should be delicious! The brisk taco was also cold! The Flauta plate was warm at least! Definitely not going back to this location! read more

More like Taco Cabano. Bathroom oder overwhelming as you enter. Could not stand the smell it was so strong. They need to turn on their bathroom fans to exhaust outside and not into the front lobby. read more

***consumer beware! we've eaten at taco cabana on the Albuquerque west side and every other visit they simply cannot get our order right...this time we wanted chicken tacos and get hamburger. this time we get the carne adovada burrito and has big bone chunks in the meat! we are done! i hope they get a food inspection soon before somebody gets hurt.*** read more

Ordered door dash they gave the driver the wrong order didn't check totals or match up the order now i call and they are closed and can't help me never eat at this establishment very rude read more

What can I say about Taco Cabana? I love the name. I like the big booths and festive decor. Even with brain freeze, I occasionally like to order a blended margarita. What I don't like is the self-serve salsa bar. When you hold the small cup and fill it with salsa, it's nearly impossible to do so without it spilling over the side. When that happens, it pours over your fingers before splashing back into the bowl. I haven't been inside the restaurant since covid, but I'm hoping they figure out a better salsa system. I've been eating at Taco Cabana, now and then, for years. They have a good variety and I think there some good options if you are looking for a deal. Before tonight, though, I haven't been to TC for about a year. We did drive-thru. I ordered chicken fajitas nachos. I liked that it was served with guac and sour cream. Unfortunately, that was all I liked about it. I missed that it was served with ''queso'' but it must have said that on the menu? If I had noticed that , I would have ordered something else because it made the chips way too soggy. ..especially I didn't eat them until I got home 15 minutes later. And regarding the chips, the ones that weren't soggy were kind of stale. So I would avoid ordering chicken fajitas nachos unless you are going to eat them right away, but there are other things worth trying. read more

Taco Cabana - Chicken Fajitas Nachos served with queso. - Mexican Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

I wouldn't care to come back here. Food isn't great. Definitely cool that it's a drive through fast food Mexican restaurant, but have had way better Mexican food. Workers seemed nice and they were quick with service especially for getting Mexican meals as a drive through, but food could have been significantly better. Good for a lazy day / sick day when you want Mexican but can't go out and need something to pass as Mexican other than Taco Bell. read more

Extremely efficient staff, delightful menu and delicious food. Some of the best prices in town for Mexican food. The room is sitting area is kept clean. There are more salsas at the salsa bar that I realized even existed. Highly recommended this place. read more

Love me some Taco C, but this location on Wyoming and Montgomery SUCKS! I don't know who does the hiring and training, but it's time to find an employee who can follow a simple order. Every time we go here and order the super nachos we add lettuce, tomato, and onion! And every single time they conveniently forget, even though they charge for it. Now, I always check because it's never there. Anytime you change up your order the incompetent staff cannot comprehend how to make the change. Something as simple as adding beans to a burrito is beyond impossible to do correctly for every member of this staff I have encountered! A 100% failure rate on at least 5 trips is unfathomable to me. How do you let your business be ran so horribly when all it takes is modest attention to detail? When you order nachos don't you expect it to come with cheese? How high do you have to be to forget to put the cheese on the Nachos!!!! Might as well forget the chips next time. This location is a JOKE, and you should drive the extra distance to whatever other location they have, or go to another restaurant. read more

I'm from Cali and the food here reminded me of being back at home. Very delicious. From the tacos to the bean and cheese burrito and then the quesadilla. I was amazed how good it all was. read more

Looked at the menu online before going to location. Once I got there the menu was different and my meal choice was different. I finally settled on a chicken taco salad with black beans. To shock when I got home the bottom of the Salad was swimming in liquid! 6 paper towels later the taco shell was still deep in liquid and totally mush!!! I salvaged what I could by scooping out 50% of the Salad ingredients into a bowl. The remainder went into the trash. Chicken and guacamole were good but service and quality were poor. My husband ordered his Salad with sour cream and guacamole on the side but were missing. I Won't be going back. read more

Taco Cabana - Chicken Taco Salad swimming in liquid. - Mexican Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

Always good food on the go or in-house, priced right as well. Salsa bar is fine but not really no real good salsa is offered....

Yesterday I was at Taca Cabana on Montgomery and Wyoming, where I have been going for years to eat the best Huevos Rancheros deal in town...and had to throw away my meal! The green chile, usually mild and tasty, was filled with seeds and black bits of blackened skin! Disgusting! I do not know if they place has changed hands, or cooks, or what,but thats the last time for my visits.... read more

My family recently came to this location and was charged double for what we ordered. When we called the store the employee recommended us to come in to resolve the situation. When we came in to the store The Female manager was acting aggressive and was using profanity's and threatened physical harm against us. DO NOT COME TO THIS LOCATION! Terribly unprofessional and overall sucked read more

Love their Carne Adovada burritos! Always consistent regardless of the location you visit.

Pretty good Mexican food. Fresh and great toppings bar. Staff is courteous and friendly. Great burritos and breakfast tacos. read more

This was the most disgusting chicken quesadilla. Certainly not worth $10. We used to be regulars to this location not sure we will be returning. read more

I've come to an end with this Taco Cabana; and this decision has nothing to do with the food, which has always been great. It's the TERRIBLE customer service from staff at the cash register. (The cooks are usually quite nice.) There is a high turn-over rate and each new staff seems to be worse (more rude) than the last. I brought this up to the manager a few weeks ago, after the female staff made a weird comment to me. When I asked her to repeat what she said, she just repeated what I owed. It was a surreal and very creepy experience, one that I've never experienced in my life! I stayed away for a few week, but when I stopped by the other day, I saw the same woman at the register. My heart sunk. I turned around and left. I went to Taco Bell, where customer service has never been an issue. It was at that point that I realized my relationship with this Taco Cabana was over. The tastiness of the food (which is great), isn't great enough for me to have to tolerate rude (and recently, bizarre) behavior from staff with zero customer service experience. I did what I could by speaking with the manager, but I'm done. Adios Taco Cabana! read more

I LOVE Taco Cabana, personally the best Mexican restaurant in the big food chains. The PROS is this particular location does a great job at food quality and the staff is always friendly and helpful and they do seem to keep the place clean Except for those times that it gets really full. The CONS is that either they're short on staff or sometimes they've got difficulties dealing with high traffic but I do know that I've waited at least 30-40mins in their drive-thru at least twice out of the 12 times I've been there. Also they have forgotten to place dessert in my order once although when I went back they did throw an extra piece for the inconvenience. In conclusion, if you don't mind the wait, the cooks will make your meal worth the while and food and sides are always fresh** read more

PLEASE, remove the ladies working in the evening shift. Huge long nails not gloves preparing food. Awful costumer service!!! read more

This was my first time at taco cabana I was really excited ordered about $60 worth of food so you could imagine the disappointment when I get home super ready to eat my food and BOOM no queso with my chips smhhhh. Get it together. But my flautas were the bomb thank you. read more

I used to love this location and my orders were always fresh and hot. Since Covid, the quality has gone straight to trash. The last 5 times I've ordered, every one has been wrong and the food is cold by the time I get home. Mind you I live less than 5 mins away so something has changed. I understand being short staffed and rushing through orders but quality should still be a top priority. read more

This is an Albuquerque staple. I've been away for 20 years and drove past a TC and a flood of memories came to me. A few days later I made my husband go get breakfast tacos. He's not from here, had never had TC and asked to get it again a few days later. YUM. read more

Really good food, nice people, clean and beautiful sitting space including outdoor seats.

Great and friendly staff and very impressed by the staff and the cleanliness of the store. I just moved to this area and this is the first time I have eaten in a restaurant since March of last year. I had a Chorizo breakfast burrito and it was awesome and love that they make their tortillas in store. read more

So....I grew up in San Antonio Texas and ate TC's A LOT!!! Almost embarrassed to admit how much (sometime daily)...and I must say, this is HANDS DOWN the best Taco Cabana I have ever eaten at!!!! My rating is strictly on the food...SO GOOD! The staff isn't overly friendly, but I guess it is fast food so not a huge deal...but they are fast and that is much appreciated :) Obviously this is a chain, so if you are looking for authentic New Mexican food, this isn't your jam...BUT, if you want some cheap "Tex mex" this is your spot!!! read more

Taco Cabana is a great stop if you're looking for a taste of home. I got a fajita bowl which is all of the ingredients of a fajita in a taco shell bowl. This was a great quick Keto food meal option, sans the taco shell, of course. Their chicken tacos are a family fave as well. The staff is always super friendly and welcoming. If you're in the mood for a quick bite that tastes like your abuela's cooking, you've found the right place! read more
