This year has been a busy year for restaurant openings in Amarillo. It seems like something new opens every week. We also hear constant rumors about new restaurants coming to town. Most recently, rumors have been circulating that Amarillo will be the new home of Taco Cabana. Here's the truth.

Is Amarillo Getting A Taco Cabana?

News stories have been circulating about Taco Cabana expanding in Amarillo. The rumor mill latched on and people have been spreading the word online that the restaurant is coming to town. When you look deeper, though, there's a little bit more to the story than that.

Unfortunately, there's no word of Taco Cabana opening in Amarillo any time soon. Sorry to burst your bubble. You'll have to road trip for those street tacos or a fajita meal for the time being. That doesn't mean, however, that there isn't hope.

Taco Cabana Has Their Eyes On Amarillo

The truth is that Taco Cabana wants to expand. For years they've existed primarily around the bigger cities in Texas, and now they want to branch out. They recently discussed which cities they would like to have restaurants in, and Amarillo made the list.

At the moment, there aren't any definitive plans to open a location in Amarillo, but they are looking for someone to be a franchisee in Yellow City. It isn't the most exciting news, but it's the first step to seeing Taco Cabana come to town. If you want a silver lining, that's it.

Amarillo is growing, and we're seeing a lot of new businesses come to town. I'm sure that we're going to see more of these types of announcements. If you're interested in being a franchisee for Taco Cabana, you can follow this link for information.

So, if someone tells you Taco Cabana is coming to town, tell them they're not but they want to.
