‘Red and green’: New Mexico fast food chain to rebrand with local flavor

NEW MEXICO (KRQE) — If you have a favorite Taco Cabana order, don’t worry, it’s not going anywhere — but you might notice a new name with some local flair coming soon.

We bring both flavors in – that’s how we came up with the name Roja Verde,” said Company President Ed Rodriguez.
