What's on the Taco Cabana menu
Felix Stehling opened the first Taco Cabana in September 1978 in a former Dairy Queen across from his family's San Antonio bar. The open-air building inspired the patio cafe look that the chain still uses, with pink accents, a drive-thru and patio seating. Taco Cabana is still headquartered in San Antonio and has been owned by Yadav Enterprises since 2021. Fresh flour tortillas, a salsa bar and margaritas sold with food are the hallmarks.
