Taco Cabana announced the launch of several new menu item tests this month. Beginning Wednesday, Feb. 28, in select Houston locations, two iconic Mexican dishes will be available: Al Pastor Street Tacos and Al Pastor Tortas. Referred to as trompo in different regions of Mexico, al pastor roughly translates to “shepard style” in English. Taco Cabana’s recipe includes diced pork marinated in a combination of dried chilies and spices. Guests can select from the following al pastor items:

• Street Tacos – 3 pack quantity tacos of pork al pastor topped with cilantro and onions
• Torta – pork al pastor with refried beans, shredded lettuce and pico de gallo

Also launching on 2/28 in all El Paso locations are the new Tex-Mex inspired loaded fries dishes: Carne Asada Loaded Fries and Chili Cheese Fries. Featuring Taco Cabana fan-favorite ingredients like carne asada and the recently reintroduced chili con carne, the loaded fries are an irresistible fusion of flavors. More about the limited time offerings below:

• Carne Asada Loaded Fries – features seasoned french fries, carne asada, queso, guacamole, pico de gallo and sour cream
