You may laugh when I say this, but Taco Cabana, in its pepto-bismol-pink glory, is one of my favorite places to eat. Especially because their food is fresh, flavorful, and available in the middle of the night. And, again, I must stress the importance of chile in hangover prevention. It's a must. Plus, it's just too damn tasty.
Taco Cabana isn't fancy. In fact, I tend to order at the drive-thru and take it home to eat. But eating there isn't bad either. Somewhat like the Frontier system, you just have to wait for them to call your number. And eating there gives you the benefit of their salsa bar where you can mix and match salsas and other toppings to create your signature taste. That in itself is dinner amusement at its finest.
Whether you choose to eat in or take it out, the food stands tall. Named for their tacos, Taco Cabana serves many different varieties, as well as other common New Mexican fare. I love pretty much anything with chile, so I've been happy with everything I've ever eaten there. I have been on an enchilada kick lately, but sometimes I just need a chicken soft taco. They make their mini tortillas fresh, so I always go for the soft tacos over crunchy. The tortillas are brimming with fresh chicken (or other meat of your choice), cheese, lettuce and tomato. That means that all food groups are covered- you have your grain, protein, dairy, vegetable and fruit (how sweet is that???). Another bonus is that they are dirt cheap. This means you can expand your waistline without depleting your wallet. And hey, if you're a cheap date, come here...at least the food will be quality and defy the price.
Taco Cabana may look a bit tacky, but the food is delicious. And at 3 am, with only a $5 bill in your pocket, what more could you ask for?
