Taco Cabana Continues to Shrink Its San Antonio Presence, Closes Two Locations
San Antonio, TX – Taco Cabana has permanently closed two more locations in San Antonio, marking the latest in a series of closures for the Texas-based chain. The affected restaurants are situated at 2908 Broadway and 11722 N. Interstate 35 in Schertz.

Background on Taco Cabana’s Recent Closures
In October 2025, Taco Cabana closed five underperforming locations in the San Antonio area, leaving approximately 136 other locations operational. The closures were part of a strategic realignment aimed at strengthening the brand and positioning it for sustained growth. The company has not provided specific details regarding the factors leading to these decisions.
About Taco Cabana
Founded in 1978 in San Antonio, Taco Cabana is a fast-casual Mexican-inspired dining chain known for its open-air patio dining and freshly prepared Mexican cuisine. Over the years, the company has expanded its presence across Texas and into other states. In August 2021, Taco Cabana was acquired by Yadav Enterprises Inc., a significant franchisee of Jack in the Box and TGI Friday’s restaurants, in an $85 million deal. The acquisition aimed to revitalize the brand and expand its footprint. However, recent closures suggest ongoing challenges in achieving these objectives.
Related Developments in the San Antonio Restaurant Scene
Several other establishments in San Antonio have also ceased operations recently. Notably, Salsita Drinks & Tacos at The Rim closed its doors on December 23, 2025, just weeks after reopening. Additionally, the Taco Cabana location at 1633 SW Military Drive was reported closed in late May 2025, further indicating a trend of restaurant closures in the area.
Impact on the Local Community
The closure of these Taco Cabana locations has raised concerns among local residents and employees. The Broadway location’s closure, in particular, has affected patrons who frequented the establishment for its convenient location and menu offerings. The DoSeum’s acquisition of the property may lead to new developments in the area, but the immediate impact on the community remains to be seen.
Future Outlook
While Taco Cabana has not provided specific details regarding future plans, the recent closures suggest a reevaluation of the company’s operational strategy.
