Description

Texican is a compact River North taco shop where fresh, home‑style flavors shine. Owner‑chef Kim runs a friendly, one‑woman operation serving standout breakfast tacos, shrimp, chorizo and carnitas with made‑to‑order sides and Tex‑Mex sauces. Reasonably priced and ideal for quick grab‑and‑go lunches or casual breakfasts, the tiny storefront is being remodeled and keeps a hole‑in‑the‑wall, homey vibe. Expect personal service and BYO beverages; seating and space are limited.

The owner of this restaurant is a sweetheart! Very kind and hard working. The tacos were fabulous and so affordable! We did pork tacos and breakfast tacos. She didn’t sell Topo Chico and recommended we stop by the grocery next door and BYOB- which was very kind of her. The place could use a little organizing, you can tell this is a one woman run business. She’s doing a really great job, it was a delight.

The food here is both delicious and affordable, and if you're open to it, you might just find a great friend in Kim.

I ordered the shrimp tacos along with the potato hash, and I must say they were absolutely amazing. The tacos were outstanding, and the red salsa really enhanced the flavor. I was a bit unsure about the potato hash at first, but it turned out to be delicious. I will definitely be coming back. Food: 5/5
