What a find!!!!! We reserved a table on open table and opted for an inside table since it was a bit chilly (but the outdoor seating looked super fun). The margaritas were perfect. The chorizo queso was mind blowing. And the pork belly carnitas + alambre were authentic and I think we both rolled our eyes in the back of our heads upon tasting them.
Absolutely LOVED, from the food to the great service to the atmosphere!
Excellent Mexican food and drinks!
my mother loves this place! octopus was yummy yum! cozy and warm and friendly inside. good place to bring parents!
It's been so long since I've visited Austin. We were looking to place to eat lunch when Lichas was suggested. I had never heard of it but love trying new places. While trying to find this place we ended up walking between questionable alleys. We finally found the place but ended up in the back of the restaurant. What I saw definitely showed this place is legit. There were about 5 -6 older latin ladies that looked like my aunts cooking in what looked like original pots and pans used in ranchos in Mexico. The ladies were very welcoming and guided us to the inside of the restaurant. The restaurant itself used to be a house that looks like a house I used to live in when I was a kid. The music playing can only be described as eclectic latin music and I mean that in a good way. We ordered the enchiladas de mole verde con carnitas, we also got huaraches de Pollo en mole rojo, and a quesadilla de calabazitas. I could go on and on about the layers of flavors in each dish but I'll just say if you are in austin and wanted elevated authentic Mexican food, this is it. The atmosphere and food at Licha's can't be described, it has to be experienced. Shout out to my wonderful waiter with the cool hair style.
Had a great brunch here on Saturday! Definitely make a reservation as it is a smaller venue. But the food and drinks were delicious! Will definitely be back!
Fantastic atmosphere and food. Lovely staff.
Really good and authentic. Not texmex.
