La Cabana: Stop By This Cibolo Eatery for Mexican Fare and Margs

February 25, 2016 by

La Cabana is a well-known Mexican restaurant in the Universal City area that is perfect for a casual lunch or dinner out. While it doesn’t serve the usual Tex-Mex fare that many similar nearby eateries offer, it does boast a large selection of Mexican-American dishes, like tacos, enchiladas, and fajitas.

Stop by for a $3 margarita during the weekday happy hour, or just take advantage of the everyday low prices at this local favorite.

Inside, La Cabana looks a bit like a log cabin, with exposed wooden beams and an A-frame style. The colorful flags and banners give it a Mexican touch that’s fun and festive.
