We’ve walked by this place so many times…and not until a friend recommended that we try it, did I end up looking at the menu. Let me be that friend for you!
NOT the Tex Mex we expected and as someone that has been to CDMX multiple times, this hit the spot! Only American thing about it is the giant portion sizes!
Their cocktails were delicious and I do love some infused tequila or mezcal drinks for that extra special treatment. Shot out to the Chapulin – watermelon infused mezcal perfection.
We had the esquite (corn) with the bone marrow and OMG – this was the most bone marrow I have EVER been served in a restaurant. Huitlacoche quesadilla was great and the chicken mole huarache – so addictive. The birria though – this was the dish that finally made me understand people’s obsession with a good birria taco. Perfection!
Our biggest learning from the visit – either bring friends or order less though. Can’t wait to be back!

Licha’s Cantina brings bold, authentic Mexican flavors in a cozy, vibrant setting. The tacos and enchiladas are packed with flavor, and the house margaritas are strong and perfectly balanced. The atmosphere feels lively but intimate great for a casual date or dinner with friends. Service is friendly and welcoming, which makes you want to stay a little longer.

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!

This is an east side spot that’s been open for a while & serves truly delicious, authentic Mexican food. Definitely a hidden gem amongst so many new spots! Very great vibes & kind service, too.

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.

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!

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!
