Expanded Mexican-Inspired Menus

Taco Cabana Debuts Two New Time-Limited Menus and a Signature Taco

Taco Cabana, a Texas-based fast-casual restaurant chain specializing in Mexican-inspired cuisine, has announced the introduction of two new time-limited menus and a signature taco item.

The first of the time-limited menus is the '3 to 6 Fix!' Menu. Available on weekday afternoons, this QSR offering features bundled deals on shareable items — like flautas and bean and cheese tacos — paired with beverages. The second option is the TC After Dark Menu. This one is available nightly and consists of three new burritos that make for excellent indulgences for late-night diners seeking hearty, comfort-food options. Alongside these menus, the chain is launching a signature taco dubbed the Chicken Fajita Bacon Melt Taco. This item incorporates grilled chicken, caramelized vegetables, bacon, and queso at a mid-range price point.
