" When I decided to stop by Texicano at the Hawthorne Asylum, I was pleasantly surprised. I went in expecting just another food cart experience, but instead, I indulged in some of the best Tex-Mex in Portland. I ordered the Holy Mole fries which were spectacular! Lots of flavors and a great amount for the price. The service was friendly, albeit a little slow on a busy day. Still, the quality made me forget about the wait. I can’t wait to come back and try the rest of the menu. This spot is definitely worth a visit if you love authentic flavors and great food! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was eager to try Texicano after hearing all the buzz, and I was not disappointed! The Tacos Locos were incredible, combining a variety of flavors that harmonized beautifully. I also appreciated the house-made guacamole, which was a highlight on the side. The only downside was a bit of a wait, but the food was worth it. Will definitely recommend to friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" I wasn't very impressed with Texicano, to be honest. The food was mediocre at best, not very authentic. I tried the carne asada tacos but they lacked seasoning and flair. The service was okay, but didn't feel very welcoming. I think there are better options in the area. " (*Curated Review*)

" I love coming to Texicano! The food is always consistently delicious and full of flavor. My favorite is definitely the Texicano bowl with chorizo. However, I wish they would be slightly quicker with service. On busy weekends, it can take a little longer to get your food, but I can tell it’s cooked with care. The prices are reasonable for what you get, so I don’t mind waiting a little. For anyone in the area, it’s a must-try! " (*Curated Review*)

" Fantastic experience at Texicano! The carne asada bowl was incredibly delicious and bursting with flavor. The meat was cooked perfectly and the fresh toppings made all the difference. The staff was friendly and attentive, which made the visit even better. The atmosphere at Hawthorne Asylum was lively, and this cart definitely stands out. I’ll be back for sure!

" I’ve heard so much about Texicano and finally made the trip to try it out, and it did live up to the hype! I ordered the carne asada bowl and it was delicious. Fresh ingredients really brought the flavors to life. The staff were also lovely, and I got my food quickly despite it being busy. Overall, I would highly recommend it and will be coming back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" While I enjoyed my taco at Texicano, I did feel it could have been a bit more seasoned. It tasted good but was slightly on the milder side. The atmosphere was lively and the staff was friendly. I appreciate that they seem to use fresh ingredients, which is a big plus. Overall, I would consider coming back, but I wish the flavors were a little more bold. " (*Curated Review*)
