Numero Diaz: Taco Cabana

Taco Cabana is a fast food Mexican restaurant in San Antonio. Born in San Antonio, in 1978, Taco Cabana originated as a simple taco stand on the corner of San Pedro and Hildebrand Avenue. This little stand blossomed into a force to be reckoned for fast Mexican cuisine.

The theory behind Taco Cabana: make it fast, make it good, and make it affordable. Patrons can dine in or drive thru. Diners looking for a sit down feast can walk in and order Mexican food at the counter. No need to worry about the tip at this Mexican restaurant. Once you order, you get a number and retrieve your meal when you are called. Meals can be enjoyed inside or out on the patio. The colorful cabana palate gives you the Mexican feel with music to match.

The food at Taco Cabana is good and priced right, ranging from just under $2.00 to under $8.00. You can order tacos a la carte or ample portioned, full plates. Taco Cabana serves frozen Margaritas, beer, sodas, and tea. Many locations are open late or 24 hours for midnight hunger pings.

There are Taco Cabana locations throughout San Antonio up to Austin, Oklahoma, and in New Mexico. A favorite San Antonio locale is on Thousand Oaks and Perrin Beitel:

From the airport take 410 East to exit Perrin Beitel. Turn left and go about 4 miles. For a location near you, or more information, visit the Taco Cabana Website.

You did an amazing job - this took you a lot of time and it shows. I have never been to TX except the very tip as we passed through to somewhere else. It is on our list of places to visit.

What an excellent variety of restaurants. After writing this, you deserve a night off from cooking :) - assuming you are the one who usually does the cooking.
