Boasting one of the largest Latino populations in the United States, San Antonio is a city rich in Mexican culture and flare, making it the leading destination for Mexican nationals.
The series follows Penny Ayarzagoitia, Mayra Farret, Lorena Martinez, Anayancy Nolasco, Karla Ramirez, and Luz Ortiz, a group of San Antonio sophisticates, as they try to balance their social lives and the demands of raising a family.
But it's their shared experience of facing the ongoing challenges of American culture, while still finding ways to honor their heritage and traditions, that bonds these ladies with a connection that runs deeper than friendship.
In a unique angle, Texicanas is told from the perspective of Penny Ayarzagoitia as she recounts the events ahead that lead to relationships unraveling and friends turning into foes.
It's not all drama for these Texicanas though, displaying a true sisterhood, they lean on one another for advice and keep each other honest.
Embodying the true welcoming spirit, they'll find just about any reason to have a good time.
Whether it's afternoon margaritas, poolside mariachi parties, or getting dressed to the nines for a glamourous night on the town, these women love to party Texas-style - large and loud but always including a twist of their Mexican roots... with mucho gusto.
