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. These closures bring the total number of Taco Cabana locations closed in the San Antonio area this year to 11.

The Broadway location was recently locked out due to rent delinquency, as indicated by a sign on the premises. The spokesperson did not provide further details regarding the closures. The DoSeum, a local children’s museum, has acquired the Broadway property, which was previously leased to Taco Cabana. The museum has not commented on the closure. The Schertz location is now listed for lease.

As of October, Taco Cabana operated 23 stores in the San Antonio area. The company has not publicly disclosed the reasons for the recent closures, and efforts to reach a spokesperson for comment were unsuccessful.

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. The focus appears to be on consolidating resources and addressing underperforming locations. The community and employees are awaiting further announcements regarding the brand’s direction and any potential openings or closures in the San Antonio area.
