I understand why the rating is so bad. I repeated my order over and over. Not only is my order wrong, it's like there's a shortage and they have to save every piece of filling they can. The filling of my taco could fit inside one spoon. Taco cabana just needs to fire everyone and start over. read more

Very friendly staff and amazing food. Taco cabana is a great choice for inexpensive and delicious Mexican.

All the food here looks so good and they are very COVID safe. The breakfast tacos were so good as well.

Sooooo I am not doing a review on the food but I am writing to say how AMAZING Jay just made me feel. His voice thru the drive thru just got me all excited about life and made me smile. When I met him at the window his look matched his energy and Cabana y'all better hold on to him. He makes customers feel like we been friends or family forever! Loved that experience as I never had that experience anywhere! Thank Jay for making my day!! read more

Stopped by for a quick snack around 2:15pm. I never stop here because the drive thru line is always long and I've been told that it's not worth the wait. I decided to walk in and order to go, faster right! WRONG! There were several people there waiting. I knew it was going to be a bad decision. The staff wasn't very attentive. They just look tired and seem not to thrilled to be there. I ordered a ONE taco. A single taco. As I was waiting I noticed that the floor was dirty and food was scattered in random places. Then I decided after waiting almost 20 mins for ONE taco, I just left. I've visited other TC locations before but none like this. read more

Taco Cabana - Dirty floor - Mexican Near Me - Irving, Texas

The Worse Taco Cabana in the DFW area. Customer Service is horrible they barely speak English got my order wrong and when I told the girl she was ticked off at me. The Restaurant was not busy at 2:15pm, Food was mediocre warm and 2 hours later spent rest of the day in the bathroom.. BEWARE People! You have Been Warned... read more

OMG this place is terrible ,terrible I like taco cabana but this place here is terrible omg

Went here again after a year & as expected, nothing has changed. If anything, it's worse. Dining area of restaurant is filthy - dirty floors, spills all over the salsa area with rotten looking pico & a drink station with trash everywhere and a dirty drinking & ice dispenser. Made me almost not want to get a drink it was so gross in that area. The corners leading to the bathrooms had cobwebs as if they hadn't been cleaned since the restaurant opened. The tortillas are very small for the price & food takes forever to come out like the staff is incapable of handling more than 1 order at a time. Food itself is just average...portion size is not good relative to price and quality. I guess I'll be waiting another year before I'm dumb enough to go back here thinking something has changed. They need to just close this down permanently. read more

I thought I would compare this place with Taco Bell and Taco Bueno. We came around 9 pm on a Thursday. The person on the microphone for the drive through mumbled the whole time. She was the most unenthusiastic employee. When we drove up to the window, Her co-worker then took almost 10 minutes for a quesadilla, taco, and burrito. We came home and the food was terrible. I have been to other Taco Cabanas and this one is subpar. I think Corporate needs to get this place back into shape. This could be such a great location in this Corporate Park. read more

Absolutely garbage and an incredible waste of time and money Keep in mind of 50 well established great places to eat very close by. First of all big sign that says breakfast tacos all day. So, I ordered 2 bacon egg cheese and 2 steak egg cheese and a large soda.....ok very simple.... 13.00.......pricey....but I have faith.... I grab the bag and drive away Next.....I open the first taco and already I know I got completely jipped Drive thru is a complete gamble anyway Bacon tacos were 2.50 and steak were 3.00 Very skimpy and I already know the rest of the tacos are going to be the same......very skimpy and sure enough they were skimpy and not full at all......with all the restaurants closing and reopening....you would think every restaurant would be on their best behavior and very carefully accurate but not at Taco Cabana I've lived in this immediate area of over 16 years......Tac9 Cabana is overpriced and underwhelming Eat at your own RISK read more

It was after 10pm on a weekday and I was driving out near the airport and really hungry. Lo and behold, I noticed over my dashboard a Taco Cabana right off the highway and approaching quick. Food! I turned off and made the exit. I knew this place is open late, so I should be able to get in and out quickly. I had never tried Taco Cabana, all I heard from reputation is the food is just OK but a step up from the lowest common denominator: Taco Bell. Walking in I observe a few things right off the bat: Teenagers running the store: No adult supervision means a lot of laughter heard from behind doors and in the bowels of the kitchen, unseen. Clueless customers: Some lady was standing at the counter wanting to order something, but had no idea what she wanted. She was reading the menu, mouthing the words as she read, while a teenager taking her order was texting something on her phone. The fixings bar? I think that's what that was, but salsa, iceberg pieces, thin strips of food grade cheddar, and the worst looking pico was all mixed together as if a frenzied pack of chipmunks tore through the bar hours ago. Even though I was there by myself, about five other single men were eating in the dining area by themselves. No couples or families, just a bunch of single older men eating alone in the dining room, late on a weeknight off the freeway by the airport. An overwhelmingly depressing feeling washed over me. But still, I was starving and I was there. As a vegetarian, my options were limited to pretty much just the cheese enchiladas or the cheese nachos. I chose the enchiladas. After I was able to get my order in, it took about 15 minutes for the food to come out in little boxes. I ordered to go, but decided I might as well sit in the singles-night dining hall and get it over with. The cheese looked like melted plastic over the lousiest corn tortilla I've seen. The mexican rice was blown-up from overcooking, and had more of a texture than a flavor to it. After one bite I considered tossing the whole mess out. After two bites I did. Leaving, I looked back at the expressionless single men eating their various Cabana dinners, a thought came over me; I needed to make sure that no matter what, I never end up in this clueless sorry lot of dining depression called Taco Cabana ever again. While still starving, I was satisfied just to get out of there, and back to my normally scheduled life. read more

I will hit the place up at midnight because its the only decent food joint where I work. They sometimes mess up the order but that's expected at 1 am in the morning sometimes read more

Usually I associate taco c with being under the influence of alcohol (taste never matters at that point) and desperately hungry (one of the few places open late) so you can imagine my surprise when I had a sudden sober craving for this place and had an excellent 9pm meal here yesterday!! We ordered bean and cheese nachos and a combo that included the softest and freshest tortillas and steaming hot Mexican rice and beans. The pico was very fresh as well. I'm quite surprised at the quality and quantity of food provided by this establishment and will def be returning for many more sober late nights!! read more

I came in to pick up some taco boxes for work, and I am really wishing I had not. This is the most unacceptably-slow fast food joint I have ever seen. The kitchen moves at a snail's pace and we can watch them so we see how absolutely nonchalant and disconnected they are. The restaurant is full of people waiting to get their food and I'm just now seeing the first person in about 20 minutes receive anything from the kitchen. I spoke with her earlier and her work had ordered 5 taco boxes 2 hours ago but the orders somehow never made it from the website to the store. Listening to the employees talk it sounds like there was a second order that had been magically lost for someone as well. There is not normally tipping in fast food, but in this case I have a major tip -- Potential Customers: STAY AWAY. Update: the time on my receipt is 9:02. I received my two TC's Way (the default as-it-comes dozen-breakfast-taco box) at 9:39. Oh, and it didn't even come in a box. I received 24 loose tacos dumped together in a plastic bag. read more

I stopped in today for a quick lunch since all the reviews about sweet tomatoes down the street drove me away. I decided to try the Shrimp Tampico enchiladas with rice and beans. I must say there wasn't a large amount of shrimp in the enchiladas. I know they are offering various seafood meals because of Lent but if your going to do that then don't go entirely cheap on what your offering. The shrimp enchiladas where a corn tortilla wrapped around three to four very tiny miniature sized shrimp. The enchiladas also had about two hole tomatoes diced to fill the tortilla. I also ordered a side of guacamole and that was also very disappointing. I was really looking forward to a better experience there but hey I guess next time will be the cheese enchiladas they can't mess that up can they? I will say the restaurant was very clean and they staff looked to be on top of at least that. I don't think I will be back for quite some time the food was just ehh. I would give them 2.5 stars if I could. read more

I'm not a big fan of this place but my work constantly gets the breakfast burritos which after some time of me trying the various options I have moved from complete dislike to tolerable acceptance. I wouldn't come here on my own accord for the most part though. This particular time I ordered a dozen breakfast burritos for my team on one week that we didn't have it office wide and it was not the best experience I've had by far. I ordered days in advance my mixed dozen breakfast burritos. When I went to pick it up in the morning I stood by the designated order pick up area and the cashier made me wait in the general line. Why have two separate lines if you're going to make everyone stand in one? Why offer online ordering if it doesn't offer any extra convenience? The point of ordering ahead is so you can get in and out with your order quickly right?! Also what peeves me incredibly much is when people can't properly do simple things that are literally in front of their eyes. In this case misspelling names. I physically type my name into an order which people at the establishment read and still misspelled it, what's the deal? I don't understand at all. My name isn't even hard to spell- L-I-N-D-Y. read more

What is wrong with this place today? Service is dog slow to non existent! Salsa bar is a fucking mess and there are no forks in the utensil side bar. It's like the manager took the day off. The service at this location has always been variable but this is the worst I have ever seen. If things don't improve there is no way this location will stay open. read more

Normally I really like TC and have never had an issue, but from my experience and the other reviews, this location is one to avoid. Drove thru for dinner and was told they were out of refried beans, and it was still pretty early into dinner time. Sounds like bad prep or planning. The young lady behind the register was nice but clueless. Decided to pick up dinner somewhere else and just get an order of sopapillas to go. I was told to pull around and park, where I waited over 15 minutes for my tiny order. It seems the staff have no urgency or care at this location and are badly managed. If you are craving TC, drive a little further to a different store and skip this one. read more

Went there today to get breakfast tacos. When we go to order they tell us they stopped serving breakfast at 1 and it was 1:05. The problem with this is on their website and on the menu board it says breakfast tacos served all day. If this is not the case then it needs to be removed as this is false advertising. It states all day breakfast tacos which is what I was ordering and was told I could not because breakfast stopped being served at 1:00 read more

The worst food I've eaten since moving to Texas. If I could give it less than one star I would. I don't review fast food restaurants, but this place seems to think they are better than traditional fast food. They're not. Every table was dirty, the restaurant was full of some of the most ghetto people I've seen, and the employees looked dumpy, un-showered, and generally just pissed off at the world. The meat in my chicken "fajitas" tasted like it had been brining over night in salt water, but was otherwise void of an flavor what so ever. The rice and "borracho" beans were both bland, as were the soggy tortillas. My meal was $9 and it took over 15 minutes to reach my table. I feel like someone owes me an apology. read more

Alba really took care of us. She is amazing!! I have lived in the metroplex and never gone to Taco Cabana before. Definitely going back again soon! read more

I know whose fault it is that I drove through 4 cities to get to a Taco Cabana only to find out it's closed. I remember when they all used to be 24 hours but it seems like lately they all have various hours. Someone should update that this location is no longer 24 hours. What a waste of time & gas! read more

Taco Cabana - Mexican Near Me - Irving, Texas

I heart taco cabana, but not this one.... not this one at all, ever. Ive been here a few times... late at nite. (Maybe you have to go in the daytime to get the good employees) Anywho - the first time I went, I tried to order, but I think they were in the back playin angry birds or something. Someone on a break had to go tell them someone was interested in getting food. I ordered. They went back to angry birds. A little time went by and I asked about my food - I got a "my bad" in spanish, and it came out soon there after. The second time, the food just was not good. Sooo salty and untastey... It was 2:30am, and I still didnt like it. I usually like any food at 2:30am. Irving really needs some more quick late nite food choices. read more

Taco Cabana is among the best fast food tex mex places in DFW. One of the things I missed when I lived outside of Texas was the quality fast food tex mex we have here. It's incredible that I can get a quesadilla, guacamole, and sopapillas from a drive through and they are actually pretty good. read more

All the salsas on the salsa bar were very good. Nothing super spicy if you're like me and like that but still they all had good flavor. The food was just okay and it took like twenty minutes to get my food. May try a different location after reading some of the other reviews. read more

Taco Cabana is like a Fast Food Mexican Restaurant. I only come here when I'm on lunch break. I have to be in the mood for it, otherwise I would save the trouble. It takes a long time to get your food. Today, the cashier had a hard time figuring out my age. I grabbed a Miller Lite, she asked for my ID, and gave me a blank stare. I wasn't impressed with their service today. I dined in with my child. I needed to change his diaper. The women's bathroom nor the men's had a changing table! I was blown away. I always come across a changing table everywhere I go. This was a first. read more

Taco Cabana - I always enjoy their nachos with a beer. - Mexican Near Me - Irving, Texas

I went there early March and had a bad experience. It took 25 minutes to get 5 breakfast tacos. After we left we found out the order was wrong. I didn't complain. I went back again 3/29 for breakfast tacos. I drove off and realized the order was wrong. I was upset it had happened 2 times in a row so I called to complain (I rarely do this). The manager said she would replace my order and asked to give them another chance. I went for the replacement meal on 3/30. The order wasn't wrong, but the tacos barely had anything inside. Won't be going back to this location, EVER. read more

Taco Cabana - How is this acceptable?! - Mexican Near Me - Irving, Texas

Placed an online order at 6 am for pick up at 8. Arrived at 8. Said they were just working on call ins and 7:30 placements. Why in the heck wouldn't an order placed at 6 am be first up in getting ready? Poor management. read more

Not to bad, usually busy here. A change from going to Taco Bell or Taco Bueno. The staff is friendly enough. Good value for a good size plate of food that you get, tasty as well. read more

30 minutes in the drive through with only 3 cars in front? You've got to be joking. Dining room is closed so if they mess up your order, you can't get it fixed unless you want to spend another 30 minutes in line. Worst taco cabana location I have been to. Will not be coming back. read more

I like taco cabana but this location is slow and disorganized. They totally forgot about my 620am order which I placed well in advance. I am at taco bueno in Lewisville as I write this. They are almost done with my order on zero notice. There were a bunch of unhappy people at the taco cabana this morning and it seems that they are slow at the orders they are getting. read more

This is horrible and hazardous at the same time. I get being rushed but not knowing how to package correctly for fried foods in unacceptable and this place needs to get inspected soon and unexpectedly. I have sent an email to corporate and the city of Irving health inspectors office. read more

Chips stale. Was told they are out of guacamole. Salsa bar has several empty containers. Usually like TC, but this is a big disappointment.

Food is prepared fairly fresh to order. Great deals often in their app. I recommend anything with their steak. The fire roasted salsa changed recently and is not as flavorful as it was before, but the many other salsas make up for it. If you want quick Tex mex this is the place to go! read more

I think they are revamping their appearence a little. I went this morning for lunch. I still work the graveyard shift 3 days a week now and my lunch lands around 3 am. I didn't cook last night, so I decided to treat myself to something delightfully unhealthy. Nachos and soapapillas. The ladies were very nice and they gave me my soapapillas for free so hey, you get an extra star!! Food was good...but it's Taco C...duh. read more

Affordable tex-mex food, check! I like their selections and their salsa bar is quite good. It's not upscale directly but it's so much better than Taco Bell and similar mexican-like fast-food places. I had their breakfast taco boxes which came with an assorted mix of taco's. They have everything from veggie to breakfast taco's for carnivores. It was surprisingly few people here when I came after 8 AM on a Wednesday. read more

I had to select a 1 start for this review but trust me.... NEGATIVE STAR RATING is needed. This is the 4th time they give me an incorrect order. Each time I order something, they repeat it back to me correctly. Once I look inside the bag it's something different. This happens between 8AM and 9AM. Today I called once again and the manager Glen stated "Oh that's too bad but I tell you what.. Tell them next time you spoke to me and we'll have it replaced for you." WELL DEAR MANAGER... I DON'T WANT FREE FOOD. Stop trying to cover up the mess you have and lack of training at your location. TRAINING is needed NOT FREE FOOD. I find it offensive when the " Leader" assumes an upset customer will be turned with free items. FIX YOUR PROBLEM and get the orders RIGHT!!!! I can't check all the time if its correct as I am on my way to work and in a hurry. if I pay you for a service or goods... make sure its done right! STOP THE LAZINESS. But to prevent further upsetting experiences, I won't go back to this location. I just hope this complaint gets addressed for FUTURE customers. read more

I love taco cabana. And I know the quality of food and service varies from location to location. This is by far the best TC I've been to, and I can confidently say I will be going here a lot read more

Let me see... we ordered through the drive through and thank gosh I checked our order while still at the window bc 2 items were not included. they gave us the one forgotten item and then i rechecked and realized they had forgotten the other one. I guess the lady who took our order didn't hear them ordered?? So, we were charged for it which was fine bc that was what we originally ordered. One was given for free which was nice. Then once we got home, they hadn't included our pico! I am so disappointed with the taste of our food we received. Not sure if Taco Cabana has started using cheap ingredients but our food was flavorless and the cheese tasted like cardboard. The only saving graced was the tortillas! Will not be returning to taco cabana again! Hopefully breakfast is still decent. read more

Decided to make a quick stop in to get some street tacos before work. Walked in and there's no employee sitting at the counter so I figured they were busy in the back, so I decided to wait and I ended up waiting about 5 minutes with not even so much as a peak to see if anyone was waiting at Tre counter to order. The entire time I could here the employees in the back talking loudly, I even peaked my head around the corner and made eye contact with an employee, at which point I returned to the counter figuring said employee would take the hint. Needless to say, she didn't because there wasn't even so much as a break in the loud conversation, and nobody returned to the counter. I definitely will not be returning to this business read more
