BIENVENIDO A LICHA’S…
Located in the heart of East 6th Street, Licha’s has become a niche restaurant for Austinites craving a bite of interior México. The restaurant is named after owner, Daniel Brooks’ mother, Alicia “Licha” Rivera, The atmosphere at Licha’s is casual and familiar. When you are here, you are in our home and we want to cater to you.

Inspired by the Mexican soulfood cooking that we were raised with, our menu is prepared by a team of passionate cooks. All of our masa products are made fresh and daily in-house and our proteins are thoughtfully brined and braised with a medley of herbs and spices.

If you’re interested in distilled agave products, Licha’s offers a large range of tequilas, mescales, bacanoras and sotoles.

Lichas’ friendly and knowledgeable staff is here to help should you have any questions about any of our dishes or menu options.

The ambiance was great, and the drinks were good, though it took longer than expected to get them, even though the place wasn’t too busy. Unfortunately, the food arrived a bit cold. When I asked the waiter if the enchiladas suizas contained onions, he said no, but they were topped with red onions. It was also disappointing to see that the outdoor heaters were turned off, and when I asked the waiter to turn them back on, he seemed unwilling to put in the effort.

There is a wide range of food items to choose from. Fresh salsa served with chips when you arrive, so yummy. Server was very nice. I enjoy the laid back atmosphere in a home setting. My mole was delicious. I highly recommend this spot.

We’ve eaten here before and it was great, but this time we experienced sound issues (loud music next door + music at the restaurant) and were tremendously underwhelmed by the food. It was bland and didn’t seem at all Mexican? We ordered one of their signature salads, a side dish and the scallops and there was no spice at all. The Cesar salad was the most flavorful part but tasted like a standard Caesar, nothing Mexican about it at all, despite its name on the menu implying it would have a Mexican take. The “mocktails” were just orange juice (margarita) and grapefruit juice (Paloma) with a salt rim and maybe a splash of lime? Confusing. Maybe we somehow messed up while ordering or they were having an off night, but we did not enjoy our experience or the food this time around. We won’t be coming back.
