Taco Cabana - Albuquerque

I have to go quite a distance out of my way to visit this restaurant. However, after the Taco Cabana on San Mateo near I-25 began serving some really disappointing food, I had no choice but to seek alternatives.

I'm writing this review on Thursday, January 4, 2024. At around 7:52 PM, a man walked back inside the building using inappropriate language. I have children with me, and we shouldn't have to deal with that kind of behavior.

I arrived at 9 PM, but the website stated they closed at 10 PM. As I was walking back to my car, I saw them unlock the door and let a few people in. What a surprise! I guess that's how they treat visitors.

I typically receive a tortilla and salsa with the flauta plate, but I've visited twice now without getting either one. It seems they no longer offer those with the drive-up order. I went again today, and there was still nothing. That being said, the food is excellent!

This was my first visit to this specific Taco Cabana, and I ordered the carne adovada burrito. As always, I was impressed by the amazing service, atmosphere, and overall experience. Watching the tortillas being made while I waited was a nice touch too. The food and condiments were all spot-on. I really enjoy Taco Cabana and will definitely return!
