This is, without a doubt, one of the best experiences I’ve ever had in Austin. Beautiful spot, amazing vibe, incredibly fast and responsive staff. Drinks were fabulous and the food is easily Top 3 best Mexican I’ve ever had. Tough to pick on the menu, mostly because there are so many unique combinations that I wasn’t used to. Can’t recommend enough. Too hot to sit out on the patio the day I went, but that also looked spectacular. It’s the kind of place where I bought a T-shirt and will proudly wear it back home. 10/10

Best interior cuisine in Austin. Hands down. I usually get the Lengua tacos but got the pulpa rostizado this time and was not disappointed. In fact, Ive never been disappointed here. Great atmosphere, great mole, and great service!

Austin Gem!! Hands down one of the best Mexican restaurants in town. Food selection is authentic, great fast service and very affordable prices. Their salsa is extremely addictive and full of unique flavors, very different from other places. The environment is very casual. Pitchers of Palomas and margaritas available too!

We were a large group and everything came out on time. They were super friendly and the food was delicious. The cantarito and food was delicious! Great experience!

We came to Licha's late (like 10pm), tired, and so hungry after a wet walk all the way from dirty 6th. We sat at the bar and the bartenders could not have been nicer or cooler guys. The food was so good! The queso was amazing, and I had a chicken quesadilla, which was also delicious. I can't remember what my friends had, but I know they both really enjoyed what they ordered. Margaritas were also top notch!

Best and most authentic Mexican west of the Mississippi. Everything on the menu is fresh and amazing. Our server was the kindest women ever and they accommodated our large table with an late night reservation. Can’t wait to return.

Cool Mexican vibes for a Wed evening. A bit pricy but at least the drinks were good and the atmosphere was great. Server was attentive and everyone was nice. Plenty of seating inside and out front and back!

Extraordinary homemade authentic Mexican cuisine. Comfort food packed with flavor and good intention. Drinks were also fantastico!10/10 recommend!

So incredibly good! The best authentic Mexican food I've had in Austin. The Birrias goat tacos are divine. We can't wait to go back and try more dishes!!

Loved coming here. Best Margarita I’ve ever had. The tortilla wraps were homemade and really good. The tacos are delicious and it’s a huge portion. Queso was good too!

Great authentic items to choose from. Awesome atmosphere and drinks are good too. The flavors and choices are amazing. REAL Mexican food in Austin for once.

Went there with my elderly friend and my 10 year old daughter. Every time we asked for something the waitress didn’t seem too happy. I understand that they don’t have a kids menu… they don’t need to have one but when I asked if they had something that was more kid friendly they said they had “kids” quesadillas or tacos… I ordered some kids tacos and they brought me this big plate with 4 giant tacos!… I told them that was too much, that my daughter was probably going to eat one or two and they said that that’s how they order came … so I had to take it as it is or not… so I took it and paid for those expensive tacos…also I ordered some extra tortillas and they charged me 5 dollars for 3 tortillas !… This place is not family friendly at all, they seemed bothered by us … I guess they just like “young” people… Good food but terrible service… very disappointing… never going back…

We had a group of 16 and we fit perfectly outside. Wait staff was wonderfully nice and paid attention to us. Drinks were strong but delicious. The FOOD WAS SO GOOD!! They were happy to accommodate our bachelorette party we did book in advanced. Definitely my “go to every time I’m in town” place.

Damn I can't wait to come back. Extremely authentic Mexican cuisine. Incredibly friendly staff too. They really try to get to know you when you come in. The food is absolutely out of bounds good. I will dream about that Mole

Tried the Red Snapper Entree and Ceviche, the ceviche was very solid, the Snapper was fantastic though. Worth coming back just for that dish alone. Worth mentioning that we had to ask several times for the music to be turned down because we literally couldn't hear each other talk at above normal volume since it was being blasted so loudly at 4:30pm on a Tuesday. The service was also very minimal and not because it was busy, we had to keep trying to flag our waiter down to get the check, to come take our order, he didn't come by to refill our water, etc etc. Food was good though.

Came here on a Sunday with reservations and got seated quickly, it was busy so it took a while to get our food but the server was great. Chips and salsa were SO GOOD. Good atmosphere and music, definitely recommend!

This place is awesome, and they played great trending music. I was visiting from Detroit and I felt very welcomed at this place. The drinks are good you have to try the chicken quesadilla with the blue corn tortilla

We really enjoyed the food here. We came sort of on a whim and without a reservation on a Friday night, so we waited around 35 minutes for our table. The restaurant was very busy with large groups of people headed into the bar and sitting in the outdoor dining areas. When we were seated, we were given chips and salsa. We ordered the octopus appetizer, I got the fish tacos (pibil de pescado y camaron), and my husband got the anchiota braised pork (cochinita pibil). We were then told that they were out of the octopus, and we hurriedly ordered the seafood cocktail instead. Our entrees came out very quickly, and they were so good. I would describe the pork as a mix between a mole and Cincinnati chili, but if that puts you off, I'm probably describing it wrong. The fish was perfectly cooked. We needed extra tortillas, but our waiter got some for us quickly. The appetizer came after our food, which is understandable. I didn't like the seafood cocktail at all. It was essentially a mix of cold seafood in tomato and shrimp cocktail sauce, served with avocado and tostada shells. I found the shrimp to be especially chewy and off-putting. That being said, I think this is a somewhat traditional dish, and it's probably up to personal tastes, and if we hadn't ordered it, the food would have been perfect. The location suffered only in that it was somewhat loud, but the decorations were fun and reflective of Austin culture.

One of my favorite Tex Mex spot! Really loved their lengua tacos. Other things on the menu are good too. The cocktails were quite salty though. The place can be busy. Recommend making reservations.

Ate way too much food. All so delicious, be adventurous order something you normally don't. Ours was octopus and it delivered, so good. Wife got the chipotle ceaser w/ snapper and the fish was cooked to perfection. The green salsa Verde here was drinkable, so good.

Love the atmosphere here. Super quaint and cozy. Food was excellent, ceviche was a huge hit at our table.

Kind of an odd place. The food is relatively expensive for a taco place, it does taste good though but the vibe is too relaxed and uneasy at times. Loud mexican music, very hot inside too with little cooling, setting is old village style so not sure what vibe they were going for. I ordered the Quesadillas which are worth trying but maybe not worth a second trip. Margaritas aren’t exactly the best.

We arrived to Austin Friday and fasted to eat at this spot. Just in time for happy hour!! We devoured the chips and salsa. Both sauces were tasty. After so much indecision we decided to go with the sopesitos from the hh menu. The waiter asked for what type of protein, ‘I said beef.’ Well, it was amazing!!! I’ve never tried such tender beef. We devoured it!!! After a few minutes out waiter came back to check and asked, ‘What did you guys think about the lengua (tongue) sopes?’ 🙈🤣🤣. Anyway, The happy hour margaritas were delish. The others, watered down. Tons of mosquitoes 🦟 so sit inside!! We enjoyed our meal and drinks. Total damage $85 😀 we ordered two reposado tequilas at the end. Oh I forgot to mention that the music at lichas made my whole experience even bettaaa- love the rock en español muchachos!
