    I prefer Taco Cabana over Taco Bell any day! Bring back the shrimp tacos!! Bean & cheese in a tortilla, add jalapeño, salsa, pico de gallo! Yum! (Their bathrooms at this location are only a one star though!)

    Nice salsa bar, friendly staff, reasonable prices. Love the salsa & cheese dip. Chips were a little stale. It's pretty good for a quick bite.

    This is my local TC. Stars are for usual experience. Today my chicken fajita was a little on the fatty side but I have a cat and dog and they were very happy. And today the red sauce was thin and watery- but that sometimes happens with certain tomatoes. Altogether, I still love TC.
