Come 2:30 a.m., droves of inebriated folks migrate to the Lower Greenville Taco Cabana to fill their beer-bloated bellies with fast-food Tex-Mex. Its 'round-the-clock hours and location conveniently within stumbling distance of several bars makes it an excellent alternative to the Bell or the Bueno, and what it lacks in Doritos Locos tacos, it makes up for in pillowy, always-warm tortillas and a killer self-serve salsa bar. (Just between us, we’ve been known to fill our pockets with tiny plastic containers full of the salsa ranch to stock the home fridge.) Even during daylight hours when most of the clientele tends toward sobriety, the chain does a brisk business supplying chips and queso, flautas, tacos, fajitas, breakfast tacos, burritos and quesadillas via the drive-thru or the modernly appointed dining room. Get there before last call and they’ll even supply you with a margarita.
In the last few years, the taco has become a mad scientist's laboratory. Many well-intentioned Vincent Prices -- whether from south of the border or homegrown -- have sought to elevate the taco, fusin... More »
Street food purists reviled Taco Bell's "cantina tacos," but the tenor of their response hasn't dissuaded a Texas-based chain from trying out the same shtick. Taco Cabana today announced it will laun... More »
The food at the good ol' TC hardly does a body good, but after a night of going hard at the bars on Lower Greenville, few drunkards seem to really care. And, as a result, the crowds show up in force at this branch of the Taco Cabana franchise once the 2 a.m. cries of "Last call!" make their way up and down the strip. They make it nearly impossible to grab a bite of fast Mexican without having to deal with half-hour-long waits first. But it's quite the place to see some hilarious drunk action too—which is why you can always see a cop, eyes droopy from dealing with the crowds over the course of a long night, looking like he'd rather be anywhere else in the world, stationed by the door on the weekends. Say pretty much anything you want to him. Unless you're stumbling-over-yourself drunk, you're the least of their worries.
very fast!

We wanted to give this award to someone else; we really did. "Best Tortillas at Taco Cabana? Why not just give Best Hamburger to effin' McDonald's?" we think, angry with ourselves. But then we sigh, and our fists unclench as our thoughts turn to the pliable, pillowy flatbreads that are just 19 cents apiece at that familiar pink-and-green-stucco drive-thru. Plus, you can even see the tortilla-making machine right behind the counter, so you know they're going to be warm and fresh. And they... More »
