      On Friday, July 4th, I visited this Taco Cabana location via the drive-thru. After placing my order, I observed several serious food safety violations. The employee who took my payment proceeded to prepare food without changing his gloves, despite having just handled the cash register and other unsanitized surfaces.Additionally, the food preparation area appeared visibly unclean, and I witnessed staff using their hands and drink cups to scoop queso and serve it onto customers nachos, instead of using proper utensils.After observing these unsanitary practices, I immediately requested a refund. However, the manager on duty stated she did not know how to process a refund. I waited at the location for over an hour with no resolution and ultimately had to leave without receiving either my food or a refund.I later disputed the charge with my bank and made two attempts to contact Taco Cabanas corporate office, but have been unsuccessful as no one has responded to my ******** a longtime and loyal customer who frequents this location 34 times a week, I am extremely disappointed by how this situation was handled. I am requesting:A formal apology Restitution for the failed service and time lost I am seeking the BBBs assistance in helping resolve this matter, as my direct efforts to address it with Taco Cabana have gone unanswered.Thank you for your time and support.

      Ordered from a business that did not have any of the items I ordered, then they tell me they cannot refund me due to it being ordered by a third party. No customer service number, just a website survey with no way to get my money back.

      I went to the ********** location tc#***** Sunday June 15 2025 around 4:30 pm. When I first walked in there was no one at the counter and waited a good 3 to 4 mins then I yelled hello real loud and someone came to the front counter to help. She said they were short staffed. We ordered our food and got our cups and went to fill them. In the seating area the hot sauce station on had two sauces thats it. Nothing else! The floor was dirty, chips and food and trash on the floors. Even a puddle of water was on the floor by the drink machine ( the whole ceiling in that area was leaking and literally falling down). Major water damage to the ceiling! All the table tops were dirty and had not been cleaned. I had to clean off my own table to sit there. After our food came out we decided to go eat in our car because it was so dirty! This place was disgusting and should be closed down. I will not go there again!

      Incorrect Order and Unwarranted Charges Dear Taco Cabana Cottonwood,I am writing to express my disappointment regarding a recent order I placed with your restaurant on 5/30/2025. Unfortunately, my experience was far from satisfactory due to several errors and unexpected charges.Firstly, I was charged for chicken fajitas that I did not order or receive. This is not only frustrating but also unacceptable, as it shows a lack of attention to detail and respect for your customers' time and ******** addition to the incorrect charges, the order itself was Dear [Restaurant Name] Team,I am writing to express my disappointment regarding a recent order I placed with your restaurant on [insert date]. Unfortunately, my experience was far from satisfactory due to several errors and unexpected charges.Firstly, I was charged for food items that I did not order or receive. This is not only frustrating but also unacceptable, as it shows a lack of attention to detail and respect for your customers' time and ******** addition to the incorrect charges, the order itself was wrong:I ordered a chicken quesadilla, but instead received a cold steak quesadilla.I also ordered breakfast tacos, but was given burritos instead that were also cold.These mistakes significantly affected my meal experience and reflect poorly on the level of service provided.I would appreciate it if you could look into this matter and issue a refund for the incorrect charges and items. I also hope steps will be taken to prevent such errors in the future.Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your prompt response.Sincerely,

      Order did not include most of my items. It was missing the large ****** *********, the ************** sour cream, and tacos. Resulted in over half of the order missing and still having to go out to dinner at a different location in order to be filled.

      The food is great. The location Manager ***** is not. This person does not understand customer "service".In response to an incorrect drive through order (2 tacos) they gave me 1 of the wrong type. The I went inside the store cashier got me two new tacos. The mistake I made was to ask for a refund as well - I had been there about 20 minutes.The manager ***** argued with me about the $4.27 refund. She finally refunded my money, walked up to my bag on the counter and took out one of my tacos, saying I had only paid for one taco, so I only get one. I was shocked. In fact, I paid for two tacos as I do almost every day. I have no idea what she was thinking. This was theft.***** became hostile and aggressive, and then refused to tell me her name, refused to give me franchise owner information or even the corporate guest relations number. She then disappeared into the back and would not come back out.This is the worst customer interaction I have ever had. I have attempted to contact the corporate guest relations team. I hope the reason I have not hear from them is because of the holidays.

      On 10/30/24 @ 4:11pm I went in to place an order for 3 beef tacos, ** quesadilla , plain fries, ************** medium pico and a nacho. We received our number and sat down waiting for our order. There were a Hispanic couple sitting and eating when we order and me and my son. Moments later an Hispanic family of 4 came in to order. As my son and I sat there waiting on our order, the family that came in after us began to receive their order as they were dinning in. I noticed it was taking a while so I asked the employee (*******) that took my order how much longer, by this time it was 4:50pm. She rushed to check and came out with my order at 4:55pm. I checked my order to make sure everything I paid for was in the bag. Low and behold I was missing the quesadilla and the medium pico. I went to the register and stood there another 5 to 6 min while your staff stood in the back playing as if they shouldn't be watching for customers are assisting the customers that were in your establishment. Another customer came in as I was standing there and he decided to leave because the wait was to long just to place an order. I noticed a young lady standing at the drive-though, I said excuse me twice no one answered. I repeated excuse me again , and the drive-though person YELLED at me and said I AM BUSY. I said excuse me!! She later to find out she is the person YOU hired to manage the store *********!! She WAS so Rude so so RUDE to me and then **** ( blonde head heavy set boy) comes from the kitchen to also argue with me and called me out of my name. I was the ONLY Black person in that store and I felt discriminated against and will absolutely take this complaints and treatment about your upper management level. I will make sure that her very poor customer service and **** never treat another person that visit that store in **** get the same rude and poor service that they offered. I have NEVER been so embarrassed in front of the people in the store and my son!!!
