Taco Bueno > Taco Bell....

But Taco Cabana is better than both.

The best fast food place on the planet is the mid-west fixture "Taco Tico." In highschool, Kansas, every Sunday would be 29 cent taco day (1999). And it was tasty.

Taco Tico.

I prefer Taco Cabana over all those mentioned as well however they vary greatly in quality by location.

Pollo Feliz > Taco C > Taco Bell

IMHO

I've honestly never been to Taco Bueno and never cared.

I remember when they had a taco bueno in the underground below Sagreesa (Sabisa). Ain't driving up to the Woodlands just to go to Taco Bueno, as much as I miss it. Too damn far.

BUMP

Did any of you see the Logo and "Taco Bueno Coming to Houston" on KPRC when they showed a screenshot of their website during 41 coverage?

Of course I can't find anything about it on the net.

I did.
The TBueno I recall had a number of Tine locations and their calling card was a citrus marinade rotisserie chicken. It was very good for fast food. I have no idea why, but they were gone before the millennium. Is this the same setup?
Dunno, but the original had some good food. If it's the same..it's worth a try for sure.

I enjoy Taco Bueno and that's despite a cup of refried beans and queso (nachos to go in a cup) with a liberal helping of crickets...

I don't think it is the same concept. This is more of a Taco Bell upgrade, Tex-Mex fare. They are all over West Texas and Metroplex. Just never seemed to make it any further south than Waco or Temple.

In 1967, we opened our doors in Abilene, TX to share fresh, authentic Mexican food. Now, almost 50 years later, while the other guys have turned to packaged and processed foods, we've stayed true to our roots by crafting authentic Tex-Mex recipes in each of our kitchens. We do things the Bueno way, and you're sure to taste the difference.

Word from a friend working on the Taco Bueno bankruptcy is that they have a franchisee who plans to open a number of stores in the Houston market in 2019-2020.

This would be incredible. The two close to my folks house in FW closed about a month ago. I told my mom I might stop coming home now.

Is that the one that was under Sbisa next to Whataburger in the mid-90's?

You are a liar, and mean. Bueno is the *****! Best Dallas import option by far.

It says they are taking over a vacant Carl's Jr. location. There just so happens to be a recently vacated Carl's Jr. by my hood. Hopefully the Katy one works and they make the short jaunt over to Sugar Land for the second location. I alone would keep it in business.

If so how was it?

Not a Dallas import, a Abilene import -- and I'm all for it. Disassociating it with Dallas makes it even better.

Grew up in West Texas near Abilene, where there are Buenos everywhere. Our cheap dates in high school were called "Taco Bueno - Movie Nights".

Still need to try Pollo Feliz. El Pollo Loco is solid, but i'm still bitter about losing the one and only Houston Del Taco location on Westheimer.

The chicken is fine. Sides are junk. Wait, maybe I'm thinking of Pollo Loco. Too many Pollos.

I actually liked Pollo Tropical, Taco Cabanas chicken-focussed cousin. I didn't fare well in Houston though.

Taco Bueno is probably the worst meal I've ever had. The only people I know that like that place are from Dallas
