Love coming to Lichas! Especially on weekends because they have café de olla! If you want authentic Mexican food that's homemade this is the place for you! Just like your abuelita makes it! They serve you chips and salsa and they have licuados and aguas frescas for drinks! We usually order the tacos de chicharrón, the tortilla is crispy on edges and the chicharrón is perfectly seasoned! We also order the sope de tinga, milanesa con papas and their chile rellenos are so good a lot of the plates come with tortillas hechos a mano! And my little picky eaters get sopa de fideo with rice and beans and they love and eat it all! The inside is small but cozy and the owner and his wife are always so sweet, bien amables! Highly highly recommend!
Great food, feels like homemade food! Huge portions! Great customer service. Downside have to pay cash. There's only like 6 tables. They had music but also have tv for entertainment
Very delicious, staff is very friendly! They do not sell little sides of guacamole or add to burritos or anything, only a large portion for $13. The salsa is also delicious! Would recommend the carne asada super burrito
I called in my order and picked it up because it was late and they close at 6pm. Cash only so i had to get money and get over there! My food was being bagged as i arrived! Perfect timing! Their food is always delicious and made to order. They are family owned and it shows! They really care! They are open everyday except Tuesdays 9-6pm but 9-5pm on sundays.
Cash only please!!! This place is so authentic and delicious! Service is the best and run by family! Pozole was amazing . Got to come over and over! I got to try more authentic food from Mexico here. !!!!!! No beer served but a great place all in all.
Great quality and delicious. I have been coming here for years and they never disappoint. Their prices have increased and it is cash only, but which business hasn't? If you want a really home made taste, this is it! The super burrito is huge! Just look at the other dish for reference. I had this five hours ago and I am "still" full!.
I don't know why I have not reviewed this restaurant until now. Perhaps it's one of those times when you want to keep a good secret to yourself. Alas the world must know, this place is pretty amazing! The biggest positive I can reference is it's freshness, everything is cooked when you order it. It may take a little longer than some places but it is well worth the wait. I usually get the enchiladas which are to die for, totally delicious and tasty. As I write this I am getting hungry and craving them. Also, make sure to take advantage of their fresh salsa, not too spicy but with enough of a kick to say hi there. Additionally, you should get their toasted tacos, again super fresh and delicious. I always get the chicken ones, I imagine you could try them with other meats as well. I'm usually a taco guy only but this restaurants quality and taste make me explore beyond. Also, don't forget to try their fresh drinks as well. Oh and their tacos are pretty tasty as well. Unfortunately their parking lot is super small but hey it's totally worth it. Also, remember to bring cash.
Bad service. Nasty plate tbh. 3 tortillas chopped up with salsa n cheese. N they call them chilaquiles Never going there again
ESL. This is definitely a speak Spanish first, English second place. So cool. I love to go to an authentic place, especially somewhere I can show off the 5 words that I know. This has it all -- the worn out sign (peeling/faded), soccer on the TV, simple decor, and horchata in a large, unbranded container. A small 5 car parking lot. The menu has all the usual fare, all at a super reasonable price, most between $5-7. Maybe 10 tables at best inside, table service, with a real menu. Warm chips are served in a little basket with riojo sauce (not salsa), and those went down nicely. On a Saturday early afternoon, a Machaca burrito was what I desired. I ordered, ate, but did not conquer. I just couldn't finish it, and lost. Or, is it a win for later when I open the little "to go" box? Perhaps it was just too many chips. Perhaps it was the 32 oz small trashcan size amount of Horchata they served me. Frothy, and lots of vanilla flavor. #worthy The best part of Licha's is the feeling while dining here. I had the sense of an invited guest in a home, partaking in an informal dinner. As if they are already cooking for the family, why not invite the hungry-looking gringo to join us? While the Chipotle's, Baja Fresh and the likes....all seemingly rule the fricken universe, it's great to have the option of a family-owned alternative to cookie-cutter corporate americano-types. Given all this, I don't think I the rating is beyond a 3.5, but I'll round up and not down. It's not worth a huge drive to get here -- but 5 miles, si.
Yum! I'm not sure which state of Mexico this place is, but it's not your typical burritos, tacos, flautas kind of place. This place had huaraches, mulitas, tortas, chilaquiles, etc. I tried some of the steak huaraches, and had the carne asada mulitas as my main entree. It was steak, onions, cheese, & guacamole stuff between two house made tortillas. So good! The horchata was big. The complimentary salsa was addicting. This place is cash only!
Their phone number doesn't work but they are open. I came here last week for lunch. Lucky for me, it was an off hour so there was only one customer in the store. They have a tiny parking lot for 3-4 cars. When I got here, I was seated right away. The guy working was nice, and he opened the curtains for me since he saw that I was reading. I ordered the chile relleno and a chicharron taco. The chile relleno was good, but the chicharron taco was just okay. I was expecting it to be dry, but it was soggy since they used the chicharron similar to the ones you'd buy at the store to eat as chips.. and put some sauce on it. Complimentary chips and salsa were cool. I would come back.
I've been holding off on this review for a long time, but every time I drive by the place I'm reminded of the experience I had. We had ordered some chilaquiles con carné asada. Every place I've been to that serves chilaquiles, offers the dish with no meat, or with meat at a small additional charge. The meat (if ordered) will be diced, cooked, and served on top of the chilaquiles. THIS PLACE DOES NOT DO THAT. IF YOU ORDER CHILAQUILES AND REQUEST MEAT, YOU HAVE TO TELL THEM YOU WANT STREET TACO MEAT ADDED, OTHERWISE THEY WILL ADD AN ACTUAL STEAK AND NOT TELL YOU THE EXTRA CHARGE. I ended up paying almost $20 for the damn plate. And the plate was a watered, disgusting mess. I'm going to include 2 pictures. One picture has chilaquiles with chopped meat - the food looks amazing and delicious. And it is, it's from a restaurant in LA called Los Anaya which y'all should definitely check out. That picture shows how chilaquiles SHOULD be done. The second picture is of the hot mess I got. Never again. Avoid at all costs.

So I've been wanting to come here very much for a while. Glad I finally made it. First, the hours are posted incorrectly. Licha's is closed Tuesday, open Mon to Sat 9a to 630p and Sun 9a to 5p. Both Yelp and Google have incorrect times.... which is why I could not make it before. Also, look for parking on the street, the parking lot is tiny. Any case, all of Licha's staff (owners?) are sweet and friendly. I felt at home immediately. Now about the food! and coffee, both are excellent. The Cafe de Olla is fantastic.... I almost never get coffee outside my home but when I come here, I WILL! For my first time here, I had the menudo with all the fixing. What I loved the most is that is all meat, no hominy to fill you up. I LOVED IT! Almost like my Mom used to make. The Tortillas ARE HOME MADE. They were excellent. See the pictures.... I finished everything, including the fixings (onions, fresh lemons, limes and cilantro. Btw, the house salsa is good but the habanero version is DELICIOUS but VERY HOT with excellent flavor and texture. Yummm. Because I was do full but still very excited to be here, I ordered 3 Al Pastor tacos with everything. I can hardly wait to eat them when I get hungry again. All in all, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Licha's. Don't miss out. Just remember to park on the street... they only have three spots. And don't blink, the place is tiny. read more

Everything was delicious! We always drive pass this place, finally stopped by for lunch. Will definitely be coming back here to try all the other yummy menu items. read more
I came here for the hauraches and stay for the huaraches. The salsa is for real. The frijoles are for real. Carnitas tacos are for real. Service is a 3 depending who's at the front Flavor 5+ Serving size 5+ Parking a 1 itty bitty lot Price has value 5+ Meats are consistently well done Carnitas is the best I like shredded beef - desabrado Chicken is well seasoned I've never tried the burrito, I'm not a burrito fan. The only burrito I ever get is Pueblonitos chilireleno con pollo. At the end of the day it is about the huaraches meat and frijoles. Here is the pic read more

They aren't lying when they claim to be the best! I was absolutely blown away by how fresh and delicious the food was. We found this place because it was walking distance from our hotel. Small inside yet so welcoming and homey. Great service too! read more

Restaurant is cozy and welcoming. Food is good and it's authentically Mexican. The reason why I took 2 starts of is because there is not enough parking, there's only 6 spaces available. Also the restaurant is cash only so make sure you are prepared. Lastly, my carne asada huarache had very little meat... it was mostly lettuce and beans with only few pieces of meat. I also ordered a pambazo and it didn't have enough chorizo and potatoes... more than half of my pambazo was bread with sour cream and cheese. The cook is stingy with the meat portions, she/he camouflages the dish with lettuce, cream and cheese but no meat. Customer service was good. And the establishment was clean. Food is not bad but they are stingy with the meat. read more

I ordered their green sauce chilaquiles w/ eggs over easy. Let me tell you that those were one of the best over easy eggs I've had in my life! Such a simple thing to cook but yet I can never get my $h!t together when it comes to cooking eggs. The chilaquiles we're too soggy for my taste, I enjoy that crunch when I have chilaquiles (one of my favorite Mexican all time dishes I may add) but they were just soaked in the salsa. The salsa was also too tangy for my taste buds but this small place is cheap and worth trying. P.S. Don't order water because it tasty nasty. read more

Great little hole in the wall Mexican spot. Went here on a Sunday afternoon only a few people there. They were friendly and nice. Not to much seating but its worth to try it out. I had the Green enchilada plate so delicious. Also tried a bite of the carne asada torta, The meat has a very good flavor to it. Yummmy. I recommend you try this. Evey thing was tasty including the horchata and chips and salsa. If a restaurant has good chips and salsa they have my heart. haha. read more

Don't blink, or you'll drive right past it, it's literally the smallest standalone restaurant I've ever seen.The first time my wife and I went, it was more out of curiosity than anything else, but we've been back at least half a dozen times since then. We've gotten something different each time and it's all been delicious, so I won't even bother recommending something specific. But on our most recent visit we ordered the bistec a la mexicana and the enchilada/chile relleno combo. Hands down my favorite local Mexican joint - I'm sure you'll find something you love if you give it a chance. Now, you might need to calibrate your expectations to be sure your visit is enjoyable. This is the definition of a family-run business: the owner and/or his wife are basically the only ones working the front of the restaurant on most days, so don't expect to be waited on like royalty. They are often not open at dinner time, as they have been known to close early on slow days. In fact I'm not sure they even have regular hours, so I recommend calling ahead to get the scoop before driving over, especially if you had hoped to eat in. (They have only a very few tables. And yes, calling in an order for take out is an option.) It's also cash-only, so come prepared for that. And if any of this is enough to make you not want to come to give Licha's a try, you don't deserve it. :) read more

Great authentic flavors. I had chilaquiles and a cafe de olla. Portions were great not too much not too little enough to satisfy your hunger and not waste any of it. The green salsa was different from what I have tasted, but amazing flavor and not too spicy just about the medium level of spicy. The cafe de olla had a hint of cinnamon and chocolate no additional sugar required only milk. I will definitely come back and try other dishes. Oh CASH Only. read more
