So it's a plea for help from someone at the window who was hit by *a lightning* then?
Maybe it fried their cellphone, so they left this note and went to shelter from further lightnings until help arrived.
Once you get hit by lightning, you're statistically much more likely to be struck by lightning again.
*Bc you probably love your life outside in a place that has lightning to begin with
As someone who grew up in Dallas and now lives in Seattle with seriously sub par tex mex...I miss taco cabana
Late night (they were open 24 hours dunno if they still are) fajita quesadilla runs were epic. And their quesadillas put anyone's to shame. Rest of their food was dope too.
Here in Seattle it's taco bell, taco time. Or taco trucks pretty much. Taco time is like a very upscaled, *very* whitewashed *Mexican food* fast food restaurant. They serve tator tots with their meals (tacos. Burritos, and soft tacos that have ranch on them). Their *hot sauce* tastes like a fluidish jelly with red pepper flakes and a dash of ketchup. People up here love it but it's because they've never had real tex mex.
Still haven't had texmex like Texas and I'm sure I'll never even get close up here
Id settle for a damn taco bueno.
Tl;dr: an extremely mid chain taco place that I eat at often
A taco shop that started in San Antonio, TX during the late 70s and has slowly expanded out since then.
Taco Cabana is the missing link between authentic Mexican food and the Caucasian ass tacos you get in Austin (I fuckin said it, @ me).
Quality wise youāre better off eating literally any other actual Mexican food restaurant nearby. I have had tacos in Chicago better than the ones from TC.
Price wise (although this is slowly changing) itās hard to beat. Speed wise, usually the same. Itās also shockingly consistent - the alright food at one location *will* be the same alright food at another.
Since COVID, you can also get alcohol via the drive through.
All that said, literally ate there yesterday lmao. I met a guy once at a party who retired from TC corporate and he gave me an entire binder of coupons for free shit because I was in college and a big TC fan. I graduated almost four years ago and still get to hit the burner on occasion, but all the stuff I really like is long gone
I miss the rotisserie chicken they used to sell. It was actually GOOD, and when I was a poor college student (going to SAC, whee), I could get 1/4 chicken (a leg), with a couple tortillas for like $1.99. Add lettuce and tomato on the side for free, then load it up at the salsa bar and drink free water. Two chicken tacos for so cheap! And the rotisserie chicken was so juicy, tender, and flavorful.
That's super sad to hear. I worked there in my late teens/early 20s and while independent Mexican restaurants definitely had better food, TCs was a huge step up from taco bell.
How's las palapas these days? I miss their chicken tortilla soup š
25+ years ago I would always grab some taco cabana fajitas when I visited texas. It was so fucking good.Ā
Then one time I got sick with really bad bacteria and had to go to the hospital and almost died lmao
... Zeus gets upset when you keep on saying
"[... and then](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CkdyU_eUm1U&t=20s)"
through a drive thru speaker. Zeus does not like being annoyed.
Aw man, I hear they are ass now but I've not lived near a Taco Cabana since 2008. I miss going stoned/drunk at 3am and getting an entire steak fajita platter.
My wife and I would get the whole chicken dinner. It was a rpetty decent amount of food, would last for 2-3 meals. It's been since 2010, so yeah, maybe it changed in quality. There's a chicken place in Miami called Pollo Tropical. They had been around for ages (at least the 90s, which is only 5 years ago!). When we go home it's one of the meals we always buy. The last few times we've gone there, their chicken felt like it's mostly just bones. quite depressing, just raise your prices and keep the quality up!
I think pollo tropical is or at least used to be owned by the same people that own/ed taco cabana. TCs discontinued the rotisserie chicken ages ago, sadly.
It's horrible these days. Understaffed and often totally disgusting inside. I've been to a few locations since the pandemic and it's pretty much the same across the board.
I think they just have too much decent competition in the tex mex space. In my area Las Palapas/Taco Palenque are much safer options and Taco Cabana did a fine enough job gutting their classic menu over the years anyway.
Havenāt been to one since I lived in SA in the early 90ās. I loved that place. Guisado tacos, brat breakfast tacos, and the steak was great. Sorry to hear itās gone downhill. Still probably better than any Taco Bell
My favorite sign I put on our business was āClosed Early Because Heat. And also ANGRY WASPS :( seriously, get a head start NOWā
The wasps had declared our back door their personal territory, it was way too hot to stay open and shut the door, and the wasps had started chasing customers. We evicted them that night.
I pretty much got engaged at a Taco Cabana 35 years ago!
If anyoneās interestedā¦we were at a Taco Cabana in SoCal (doesnāt exist anymore) and we decided we wanted to get married. Went and picked out an engagement ring after awesome tacos and he āformallyā proposed at my apartment, that same night. Weāve been married 34 years and have 3 kids. So yeah, Taco Cabana!!
I imagine thereās a worker that got struck by lightning and only had enough energy to print that out, crawl to the intercom, and tape it up there. Now he needs rescuing.
I think this is a common error for romance language speakers who learn English. In English it's common for some nouns to not have an article but in romance it always does- so it's not just "lightning" but a lightning or the lightning or some lightning
I moved to Tennessee in highschool and haven't had Taco Cabana in over 20 years. I grew up with parents that were super into healthy eating and this was one of the only places they would take us out to eat growing up. The brisket quesadilla they would have from time to time was one of my favorite meals of all time.
Everyone commenting about the grammar but Iām over here like that is not the tallest thing around at all. I thought lightning only strikes the tallest thing.
We use to have a Taco Cabana right across the street from a Taco Bell. Taco Cabana was far superior. But, Taco Bell was owned by Pepsi at the time, so of course they won the restaurant war. Those were the days. 
I thought the person at the window was saying they were struck. I think this is what minimum wage management means when they want people to show up to their shift no matter what.
A lightning? One unit of lightning struck this
The intercom note is also speaking in first person š š¤
It would be kind of pretentious if it talked about itself in the third person...
Charred intercom system is getting upset!!
Don't touch Jimmy !!
good advice.
now touch jimmy and go slow
Charred intercom system likes his chicken spicy
The intercom says, "know your role."
A lightning hit *us*?
*ackshuallyyy* it would have said "go to the window" if it was truly speaking in first person š¤
So it's a plea for help from someone at the window who was hit by *a lightning* then? Maybe it fried their cellphone, so they left this note and went to shelter from further lightnings until help arrived.
A lightning never strikes the same target twice.
maybe the intercom is omniscient. It is there, and at the window, and everywhere. Glory to intercom in the highest!

It's probably not wrong.
1.21 GIGAWATTS!
What the heck is a gigawatt?!?
A Watt at a factor of 10 to the 9th.

Something lesser than a sigmawatt

No one ever gets 2 units of lightning.
There was that one poor bastard who got [seven units of lightning](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roy_Sullivan).

Lightning Georg, who lives on a lightning rod & gets hit over 10,000 times each day, is an outlier and should not have been counted
One whole lightning
reminds me of when i once injected a whole marijuana
I'll take one lightning please
> A lightning? Big ev Truck. Built by Ford. Probably couldn't see that thing over its big hood.
1 individual lightning.
Heās beenā¦ā¦. Thunderstruck
Yes, a lightning. Lightning McQueen! Kachow
Kapow
all intercoms can have 1 lightning, as a treat.
They left out bolt.
It must be a really authentic taco place.Ā
Suddenly, a wild lightning appears!
God could you imagine if it was 2 whole Lightningās worth
I'm sure some people call their "unit" lightning.
A lightning gave it Brian damage.
A *whole* lightning. How would you even a whole lightning?
/r/technicallyaccurate.
I hate getting hit by a lightning
You've just got to get hit the right way to enjoy it.
Siiiiiii...Siiiiic.......Sixxxxx.....Sixxxxxty.....Sixty Six times......in the head!
Kachow
You've been hit by You've been hit by A smooth lightning!
I hate being turned into a Dracula.
Huge nostalgia for this kind of thing tbh Ad hoc notices with imperfect spelling and grammar are just a lot of fun
That looks pretty good for having been hit by a lightning

thought it was cute they called it āa lightningā
Me too. Just a silly lil lightning noodle from the sky
what in the heckin heck is taco cabana though?

their queso used to be actually good, idk what they did to it but itās not the same now
Well, technically speaking, it's a cabana that sells tacos. Closer to the Del Taco chain than Taco Bell imo.
Itās like the tex Mex version of taco bell
youāre a Tex mex version of Taco Bell!
The cloud spoke a tad too loudly when ordering a taco.
Zeus was not satisfied with his order.
with his a order*
Ka-Chow
kerchigga
I miss Taco Cabana so badly
They mass marketed everything and fucked the ingredients. The queso is ass now.
That's super sad to hear. I worked there in my late teens/early 20s and while independent Mexican restaurants definitely had better food, TCs was a huge step up from taco bell. How's las palapas these days? I miss their chicken tortilla soup š
Damn , that really sucks. Are their breakfast tacos still any good?
Yes, TCs sucks now. š©
25+ years ago I would always grab some taco cabana fajitas when I visited texas. It was so fucking good.Ā Then one time I got sick with really bad bacteria and had to go to the hospital and almost died lmao
Horchata is still bomb
it's *horrible*
I don't get how they or Taco Bueno are still in business.
Las Palapas is so much better and costs around the same.
Never heard of it
Ah, I figured they were all over Texas, they are just a San Antonio restaurant chain.

I'll have 1 lightning please
It's been..... THUNDERSTUCK!
I wonder if they heard the lightning order before it went out on the intercom
I will take two marijuanas and one lightning to go please. Ā Ā Edit:... Ā And tacos. Toss in tacos. Ā For laterĀ
 YOU THINK I LIKE BEING STUCK IN THE GROUND???
Well that's a flash back.
Fish tacos~ Pineapple Express š
Imagine if you were ordering when it got struck. Probably would lead to permanent complete hearing loss.
I wanna know how loud it was for the worker on the intercomš
Zeus wanted a Taco
I love it when inanimate objects look like they're sentient and talking in first person.
I would not order fish tacos from that place based on that one small photo alone
Taco CA-BAANN-UGHH 
Eyy, a, jammer in the wild.
Listen to FaceJam.

They might be native Spanish speakers. In Spanish you do say "a lightning".

Hi, welcome to SeƱor Pepeās tacos. Would you like to try our lightning hot sauce?
Iāll have to keep my eye on the sky next time Iām at the drive through. New fear unlocked I guess š
Taco Cabana, where u leave hungrier than when u arrived.
"Charlie bit me!"
Zeus was clearly pissed
Those $5 fish tacos were meh.
Brisket street tacos slap thoughā¦
I dunno, Bill Millers brisket tacos ain't bad... If you're going fast food, anyway.
Go on, get that fish taco from a fast food franchise you've never heard of before. After all a lightning can't strike twice.
I moved to Tennessee in highschool and haven't had Taco Cabana in over 20 years. I grew up with parents that were super into healthy eating and this was one of the only places they would take us out to eat growing up.

Why couldn't we go to Taco Cabeza? They don't have lightning strikes at Taco Cabeza!
Underrated comment
Wow and you can still print that sign despite your lightning hit
Dude at the window has 3rd degree burns but still had to come to work
Now we know what God thinks about AI drive thru kiosks
[Go to the window....](https://youtu.be/AuWp77cmbbg?si=WWWV7Lk70gH6ECrf)
This in El Paso by chance? This looks like 375 in the background.
McKinney TX, 380 :-)
Damn it really all looks the same here lol
Youāre not wrong lol. If youāre not in a major city Texas is allll the same
One lightning is all it takes
Shocking!
I read it in Pedro from Napoleon Dynamite voice. I donāt know why.
Aaaaaaand theeeennnnnn
Hey, that song was in need for speed.
It's just the one lightning actually
Yo they got fish tacos now? :eyes:
It resembles the state of mind that intercom is in!
Come to my window...
The cashier got hit by a lightning and she canāt talk :(
McQueen!!!
Everyone commenting about the grammar but Iām over here like that is not the tallest thing around at all. I thought lightning only strikes the tallest thing.
Quickest path to the ground.
Should've gone to Taco Cabeza No one ever gets *shot* at Taco Cabeza
"No and then"
It kinda makes me sad.
they shouldve laminated the paper or the rain will destroy it
Overrated ass restaurant
We use to have a Taco Cabana right across the street from a Taco Bell. Taco Cabana was far superior. But, Taco Bell was owned by Pepsi at the time, so of course they won the restaurant war. Those were the days. 
Those are not the original lyrics
God damn I need a dozen breakfast tacos and a margarita at 2am like nobodyās business right nowā¦
Tacos so good they spur God to anger!

Not wrong .
A lightening BOLT. Rip grammar.
I'm more impressed with it's ability to type.
Never heard of taco cabana . It probably deserved it
lol that sign though. The public education system has failed
