Alabama native and food industry vet John C. Baker's Mexibbean Island Grill offers Huntsville a new dining option.

Texican Taco’s employees included Chris Robinson, a 1983 Huntsville High School grad who was then studying communication graphics at the University of Alabama-Huntsville. Robinson says Texican’s popular menu items included mesquite grilled chicken fajitas, as well as chimichangas and quesadillas. The fare also got into deep roots Mexican fare like cabrito, a roasted goat-kid dish.

Huntsville resident Leslie Hoar Hendley was just in middle-school back then. But she can still recall the foil-wrapped tacos from when her family would dine at Texican’s Whitesburg Drive location. “That was my first true, like, real legit taco,” says Hendley, who now works in business development. “I think that’s what makes the experience stand out so much. But at the same time as an adult, it’s still one of the best tacos I’ve ever had.
