Taco Cabana Turns 48 With a Monthlong Celebration

SAN ANTONIO, Sept. 02, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Taco Cabana®, a celebrated fast casual Mexican-inspired dining chain, is turning 48, and the Texas-born brand is celebrating all September long. Kicking off September with the debut of a vibrant new beverage, the return of fan-favorite menu items and special offers, Taco Cabana is bringing plenty of ways for guests to join the birthday festivities.

Leading the celebration is the new Dragonada, one of Taco Cabana’s most colorful beverages yet. The latest addition to the Cabana Refreshers lineup combines a refreshing lemonade base with vibrant dragon fruit and chamoy for a bold balance of sweet, tangy and slightly spicy flavors. With its bright color and distinctive flavor profile, the Dragonada brings a fresh twist to the Taco Cabana beverage lineup.

Also making a highly anticipated return is the Double Crunch Pizza. Now with an improved recipe, the fan-favorite features two crispy hybrid tortillas layered with refried beans, seasoned ground beef, queso, shredded cheese and tomatoes. The result is a satisfyingly crunchy take on familiar Taco Cabana flavors. Adding even more variety to the celebration, Green Enchiladas are available for a limited time. The plate features Taco Cabana’s signature shredded chicken topped with green sauce, shredded cheese and sour cream, served with rice, refried beans, lettuce, guacamole and two tortillas.

“Forty-eight years is a milestone worth celebrating, and we wanted to make September a month of celebration for our guests,” said Ulyses Camacho, President and COO of Taco Cabana. “We’re introducing something completely new with the Dragonada, giving the Double Crunch Pizza an upgrade and bringing back Green Enchiladas, all while giving our guests plenty of ways to enjoy the month with special offers. It’s our way of celebrating 48 years of Taco Cabana and the guests who have made the brand part of their communities for nearly five decades.”

The birthday celebration continues throughout September with special offers that give guests even more reasons to visit Taco Cabana this month:

• 48-Cent Bean & Cheese Taco Mondays: Guests can purchase up to five Bean & Cheese Tacos for 48 cents each, every Monday in September.
• $2.50 Thursdays: Margaritas and Cabana Refreshers are $2.50 all day, every Thursday in September.
