    The texicano bowl is so yummy!! I got carne asada added. Seems to be the perfect portion.

    Tacos locos with carnitas and Pablano crema

    Been here several times now. I'm from Texas originally and this place hits the spot. I got the tacos locos with carnitas and pablano crema and it is fabulous!

    Inside Hawthorne Asylum is Texicano. Great food. Went with tacos. Can't go wrong. Service was great. The employee was super patient and gave great recommendation. Very clean. Would highly recommend.

    Fantastic!! I had 1/2 Carnitas and 1/2 ASADA. The steak was a bit spicy (I am super wimpy), but the carnitas was perfect!! I can't wait to go back and try the tacos.

    Tacos Locos from Texacano are to die for. They include a habanero sauce  that is totally unique and delicious. Great staff too.

    I came here the other day when we were at Hawthorne Asylum for lunch and the place was absolutely amazing. I ordered the chicken tacos with rice and beans. These are absolutely incredible. Just a heads up the food is a huge huge portion so you can definitely split it with someone else. Especially if you want to try any other dishes here. Staff and service are incredible. Will be back soon! IG: @QueenOfAdventureNYC

    Carne Asada (Steak) Sandwich

    The hospitality and food is great all around. They are quick and efficient. The food is delicious here. Highly recommend trying any of their dishes involving their carne asada.

    Amazing food and service! Prices are reasonable and the owner goes beyond and is so kind. Delicious!!!

    I understand why the line for this food cart in Asylum is one of the longest. The texicano bowl is packed with flavor and a good mix of ingredients. They've got plenty of options to choose from. You're not gonna leave there hungry!

    El Filette (Steak Sandwich)
    Alex W.

    I'll start by saying this probably sits at a 3.5 star review but Yelp does not give that option so going to have to pick here. We got the El Filette Sandwich with a side of fries for $16. Sandwich fell apart a little easily so maybe best to bring a burger holder with you. Taste was good but not necessarily next level either. One thing I will say though is that the Carne Asada comes in strips so it can be a bit challenging to avoid getting big chunks in some bites, no meat in others. Fries were good and we ate them all. Next time I'll try the tacos and update if this is a 4 or 3 but for now I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and lean 4.

    Filette( skirt steak) with fries
    Andrew H.

    Skirt steak. Need I say more? As far as I know, this is the first truly Tex-Mex place in Portland. There are plenty of hole in the wall Mexican spots all around this town and I'm a big fan of several of them, but the newest cart down at the Hawthorne Asylum on 11th and Madison is food you should eat. Back to the beginning. the Filette sandwich is skirt steak marinated with veggies and sauce on a bun, I got it with the seasoned fries that they offer. They do not skimp on the meat or the fries. They have chicken options, wings, bowls and tacos as well. I know I want to try more, and at the Asylum there is a never ending way to satisfy your appetite. If that skirt steak was the gateway to get me to eat at Texicano, I can only imagine how good the rest of the menu is. Support local, I'll be eating there again....soon. Enjoy.

    Mad Rooster Sammie was 100%. Will be back next time we're at the Asylum. Perfect pairing of ingredients! The fries were even bomb.

    We had a great time at this restaurant, the vibes inside are amazing and the food is delicious! I'd…read morerecommend the horchata and the queso fundido poblano! What we ate: Queso Fundido Poblano as a starter. We had a Carne Asada Taco and a Pastor Taco. Then got the La Costa Burrito, a shrimp burrito drenched in a creamy white wine sauce with pico, avocado, chili oil & queso fresco. Additionally, for drinks we had a cocktail and a horchata.

    Food~We started with Pozole Rojo (chicken) and, as a first timer it didn't disappoint (you can get…read morechicken or carnitas). Enchiladas (carnitas) it was only ok it was a tad bit salty and, a few hard parts (I'll definitely would get the chicken next time). Chicken Fajitas were good but, it's a different taste from other places I've had it (my love enjoyed it he said it had a very authentic flavor). Rice (fluffy) and Beans (well seasoned) both were really delicious. Service~Pearlina was super sweet, knew the menu very well and, had exceptional service. She made sure we had everything we needed and, continue to check on us throughout our meal. Ambiance~It's has a very calming vibe and atmosphere. I love the fact they have a privacy strip on the windows (so no one walking by watches you eat). It's a family owned restaurant and, I would recommend giving them a try. I feel what we ordered was worth it but, everything (except water) has a charge. Only street parking and, lots of indoor/outdoor seating.

    After a really long day of work, I was in need of something close to my hotel. Score for Bullard…read moreTavern. Lucky I had Gregg M with me to help me eat! We both started with drinks: Me: Gimme three steps. It definitely hit the spot after a long day. Onto food - we started with the Tavern Salad ($16). It hit all the notes. Greens and radishes for crunch, apples to add sweetness and blue cheese crumbles for salt. A great start to a wonderful meal. Next: Grilled albacore ($41) and roasted cauliflower ($$28). The albacore tasted good and it had with it grilled summer squash, heirloom tomato & corn, charred eggplant puree, chile oil vinaigrette. Really loved the eggplant in some ways more than the tuna. Score another for PNW freshness! The cauliflower - spicy due to the chipotle glazed with brightness from the pickled corn. Along with some grilled oyster mushrooms and coconut corn puree with scallions -it was probably my favorite dish. Had I not been so full, I might have told Gregg M we needed to order another one! Highly recommend.

    Food~My husband enjoyed the chicken fajitas it (only comes with 3 tortillas), rice, and beans…read more Pozole was piping hot but, really good I took most of it home for later. 2 lunch combo meal shredded beef enchilada it was good but, a little dry. Tamale was mid I meant to get chicken but, it was shredded beef too. It had so much masa with very little meat I literally had cut it open to get to it (wouldn't get that again). Comp chips, salsa, and bean dip were really tasty. Service~It was great (it was really busy during lunch time). But, our waiter did explained a few menu items, and was polite & very attentive. I like the fact they have a lot of staff working so it's always someone near to assist with what you needed. Ambiance~Beautiful and really huge family owned restaurant (It could accommodate at least 300 maybe even more w/outside seating). Restroom was super clean and smelt fresh. Authentic Mexican music playing but, you can still hold a conversation. I would love to visit during dinner hours but, I would recommend giving this place a try. Plenty of parking.

    Raquel was our server. She was polite. Food and drinks came out quickly…read more Complimentary chips and salsa and Dean dip. Beans were great. Salsa had the perfect flavor and was mild. Enchiladas Banderas. I chose beef. The sauces were really good. Came with beans a rice. Large portion. Took it home and had it for breakfast too.
