Cabo Construction Plans Unveiled in Honor of Hispanic Heritage Month

In a statement released earlier this week, Texas A&M University revealed plans to build a new Cabo Mexican Grill in honor of Hispanic Heritage Month, a development long-awaited by the student body. The building is set to become the latest state-of-the-art hub of Latinx culture on campus.

The university is approaching receiving a Hispanic Serving Institution designation as its Hispanic enrollment nears 25% of the student population, and the time has come to provide what the evolving demographics of Texas A&M demand: a delicious Tex-Mex fusion, build-your-own meal experience.

Following recent efforts to emphasize the role of diversity in university affairs, the construction will mark a new era of catering to the needs of the Latinx student population.

“I guess a new Cabo would be cool,” said Lucas Galán. “It’s probably my third favorite restaurant on campus and a less authentic version of Chipotle, but hey, the more the merrier. There’ll definitely be shorter lines at the MSC.”

When asked about the possibility of the creation of the long overdue Latinx center, Texas A&M Facilities Planning & Construction declined to comment.
