Taco Cabana, Inc.
 PROFILE
Taco Cabana knows salsa is not just a dance. The company offers about 125 Mexican patio cafes (including 10 franchises) primarily in Texas, but also in Georgia, New Mexico, Indiana, and Oklahoma. Taco Cabana serves Tex-Mex and traditional Mexican fare, including fajitas, enchiladas, tacos, margaritas, and breakfast foods. It competes with most sit-down Tex-Mex restaurants, but its prices and service resemble those of fast-food outlets. The company is completing an image makeover that is a departure from the vivid pink walls and flashy neon for which Taco Cabana is known; the restaurants aim for more of a vintage Mexican courtyard look. Privately held Carrols Corp., a large Burger King franchisor, bought the company in 2000.
