Taco Cabana Off the North Loop (Houston, Texas)

There's some distortion going on with Google Street View, but it's those neon signs I miss most of all. This one was changed in 2019. (Street View from 2015).
As we peel off another entry from North Loop West and just off North Shepherd Drive is Taco Cabana, and a real Taco Cabana opened as Taco Cabana (not a former Two Pesos) and one that is still open (many have since closed), originally in April 1992 (possibly the first Taco Cabana proper to open in Houston, but I haven't confirmed). Sadly, Taco Cabana (as a chain) is no longer open 24 hours, but action still happens here, just this week as of this writing, HPD responded to the scene of a "shooting in progress". A firearm was indeed discharged and one person was injured, but, well, just see for yourself.

UPDATE 03-16-2026: This Taco Cabana is now closed permanently.
UPDATE 07-01-2026: Forgot the address...700 North Loop West. Houston Historic Retail has said a few words on the closing (it was the first TC in Houston, if you don't count their first failed location).
