I was excited when I saw that Texas Chicken had a new item on their menu, the Mexicana Wrap, and I just had to try it! They had a promotion for the set, with a side of mashed potato and a drink for $6.20, although you can also get it as a Buddy Meal Set with two pieces of chicken, two mashed potato and two drinks for $12.90.

I was excited when I saw that Texas Chicken had a new item on their menu, the Mexicana Wrap, and I just had to try it!

Mexicana Wrap Set: Mexicana Wrap + Mashed Potato + Peach Tea ($6.20)Portion for this wrap was quite big for me. There were two Texas Chicken's chicken tenders inside with diced tomatoes, lettuce, and fried tortilla chips dressed with spicy mayo and cheese wrapped with a tortilla that was toasted just nice. First bite was pretty meager but it got progressively better towards the middle as all the ingredients had already "settled" at the base. The chicken were crunchy and juicy and the tortilla chips added a fair amount of crunch to each bite. Not that any more crunchiness was needed since the chicken strips were already crunchy enough, but more crunch is always welcome! There was also the spicy and tangy taste of the sauce although I found the "Jalapeño kick" they promised to be comparatively mild. Nevertheless, this was pretty tasty on the whole and also quite filling!
Super Saver Meal: 2 Pieces Chicken + Mashed Potato + Grape ($5.90) Their chicken came in Original or Spicy version and we got the spicy ones. This was very crispy and crunchy (which was kind of addictive to bite) and the chicken meat was very tender. However, it was only mildly spicy and wasn't as spicy as KFC's version.
Peach Tea and GrapeWe changed our drinks from Coke to Peach Tea and Grape. It costs an extra $0.30 to change the coke to iced Tea, but I didn't want to drink coke so I just ended up paying for the switch. No additional price to switch to other soft drinks like Grape though.
Mashed PotatoAlthough it looked similar to KFC's, the taste was not the same. This was slightly more peppery, although the gravy was still smooth and thick and the mashed potato was just as soft. I wish there were more gravy though; I thought it was slightly dry when the potato was eaten without the gravy.
We also actually ordered the Biscuit Helado which was on offer for $1.90 with a coupon but it wasn't served even after we finished our meal. Upon checking with the counter for the second time, the staff informed us that the machine was spoilt. I think they should have told us earlier and not wait for the customer to check with them twice. We ended up cancelling the order for the Biscuit Helado and asking for a refund, which, to their credit, willingly acceded to.
Overall, Texas Chicken is a good alternative to KFC is you're bored of eating the same thing at KFC (although most of the food are technically the same thing). For variety though, I'd recommend Texas Chicken Wraps such as the new Mexicana Wrap!
