One of my favorite Latin restaurants in Austin. The watermelon mezcal drink is incredible. Everything I’ve eaten here is amazing. The atmosphere is excellent. It feels like you’re not even in Austin anymore on the back porch.

For 2-4 people, this place is an absolutely incredible time! Prices are good for the food, I didn't look around the alcohol menu much. I'd imagine it is not as great the more amount of people in your group because there are lots of smaller tables. Food was incredible Music is on the louder side, I'm not complaining, and I wouldn't bring my grandma there. Staff came in clutch on last second things we wanted, you gotta wave em down, but their response time was rapid, so it was worth it to have to be slightly assertive for the uninterrupted conversations. -QR Code menus, and upon request, physical menus -One of the women who was working called it "Mexican Soul Food" when I asked her what best describes the food they serve. I totally agree

Absolutely knocked my socks off. We sat outside and the atmosphere was great, our 2 year old was entertained by the decor and lights so we actually got a decent meal. The food was AMAZING and out waiter Jose was always there when we needed him but not pushy. Cocktails were top notch. Cant recommend enough.

From a humble but cute outside appearance to a burst of originality and creativity on the inside. We first started with the complimentary salsa that consisted of a green (avocado and jalapeno) and an orange (roasted chili). Not overly spicy with a kick on the backside. The Fundido was a rich thick cheese with a lovely caramelized bottom. The tortillas were so fresh with a great corn flavor and tender texture. The star of the dinner was the scallops served with an olive and caper sauce. The bread served with it was a fabulous vehicle for the sumptuous sauce. The scallops were tender and cooked perfectly. The TresLeches was good, but not the best weve ever had. We will definitely go back and might plan a Chistmas Holiday party there due to the chillled laid back atmosphere. The little patio is so cute!!

Loved this place! Food and atmosphere were amazing. Lots of gluten free and meatless options that are clearly marked on the menu. I was so excited to see this isn’t traditional Austin Tex-Mex…this is the real deal. Will definitely be back!

Quite possibly some of the best Mexican food I’ve ever had. Let me start with the chips and salsa: the green sauce has a creamy consistency to it but is actually spicy. The red sauce is less spicy but similar consistency with a strong smoky flavor to it. It was so good, I used it with my mains as well and devoured all the sauce. Now let me get to the conchita pibil I got. The corn tortillas were super soft and warm, and served to you inside aluminum wrap to keep it warm. It comes with guacamole and pickled onions that appear house made - nothing out of a jar or can here. The stewed pork was fantastic and extremely flavorful and tender. All the individual ingredients in this dish are thoughtfully curated and made in house. By far the best Mexican I’ve had so far in Austin and highly recommend it. Shout-out to Juan, the bartender also!

Great food. Drinks were ok. Love the vibe, but it was extremely hot and humid(even for Austin).

Licha's was a fantastic find on a little fun weekend trip to Austin! Excellent flavors and very unique menu, everything tasted very fresh and flavorful. Great margarita, good service and ambiance. A very memorable experience!!

This place is such a gem. The house setting is very cozy. It can get loud due to the size and shape of the rooms but it was a festive atmosphere. The service was good, our cocktails were flavorful, and the food was incredible. Highly recommend.

Had the enchiladas, so good! They don't have flour tortillas, only corn. So lots of gluten free options! If you are a baby with spice, the salsa is spicy, lol. Drinks were good. We went on a Friday around 6pm and were able to be sat right away for two people.

Had a great time! The vibes are awesome and the outdoor area is super immersive. There are a lot of food options, as well as vegetarian which is nice (also noted with a V). All of the food was interesting and overall it was a great experience I would recommend.

Licha's Cantina is UNREAL. My favorite thing on the menu is the Suadero tacos . Service is always incredible and the kitchen is so fast. Feels like I'm on vacation whenever I'm there - love it!

Service was exceptional! Sat inside at the bar and it was about 4 pm. Good music and vibe. Food was okay. I had a hibiscus flower quesadilla so might try something more traditional next time!

HashtagDietFood

The vibe was so so good. Music was amazing but a little too loud. Food was nice however, the quesadillas were too dry. Guacamole was too good. The salsa’s were great. Drinks were good too. Overall this place is nice for its vibe and hanging out with friends and we look forward to come back to do our margarita pitcher afternoon soon!

Great dinner spot for groups on East 6th. The Verduras tacos are vegan as-is, and very good! The drinks are just okay, but the overall vibe is lively.

First we were not asked if we wanted to sit outside. There was bird poop on my chair, and chance of rain. They only gave our 5 person table a 35% filled, 2 paper bag of chips. The dipping sauce was too spicy hot. I ordered enchiladas suizas cost $23, there was big chunks of chicken not shredded as described, and clumps of rice, not high quality for the price. Positive feedback: My husband did enjoy his camaron pibil tacos, cost $24 with a variety of vegetables and the 3 meats, red fish, shrimp, bacon, and corn tortillas which he didn't like. Maybe I ordered the wrong dish. Probably will not return.
