    California burrito

    See pics, good food, friendly service. Restaurant is clean. Salsa bar available. Glad to have them in Lawndale as an food option.

    This is probably best Mexican food I have had in los Angeles county eat here

    Super bomb ass food trust me the flavors feel like a scientist created them thats how amazing it is I was blown away it's almost blasphemous to mention taco bell and this restaurant in same sentence other then to say its that bomb ass food place next to that run down taco bell Panchos tacos made me a believer they are on doordash order here

    the menu on the wall

    Menu as of October 2023. The is my usual spot for carne asada and I love their price and portion. Highly recommend to every one.

    Habanero cream hot sauce, straight fire! So many little mom and pop taco places in the area, some more popular than others but I like to root for the underdogs at times and this place is pretty underrated. Located in a pretty small plaza, there's not much parking, and not much else to see but it's definitely worth a try. Been here many times, and everything I've had here was pretty tasty. I normally go with the lengua tacos or burrito with that oh so sinfully delicious habanero cream hot sauce they have available at their quaint little salsa bar. That sauce is literally fire, sooo good, I could put It on everything! It's seriously what keeps me hooked to this place for my spicy cravings, yum! :) The workers are friendly, they also have daily deals on their board which are great; so the prices are pretty legit for what you get. Overall, for a quick, tasty, and spicy meal, I'm definitely here :) Happy eats, loves! ^_^

    Carnitas and al pastor tacos

    This place is legit. The actual restaurant is pretty small but what it lacks in size it makes up for in taste. The carne asada and al pastor tacos are good. But what keeps me coming back is their carnitas tacos, they are amazing ! They seem to really take their time in cooking the pork because it is as soft as it can be. I can't say enough about their tacos besides you have to try them. As mentioned before the restaurant itself is pretty small but it uses the space well. But don't expect to bring a big group and be able to all fit. The people working there are super nice and helpful. They will answer all your questions and even give suggestions should you need them. One of the better taco places in the area.

    Could put this sauce on everything!

    A favorite local mexican place. Great burritos and tacos. Can tell alot about a place by their beans. This place is so good. Great tortillas, beans rice and meats. Carnitas is just right not salty like alot of other places. Tacos are the real deal here 5 outa 5, small and priced right. Great prices and quik friendly service. The creamy habanero hot sauce is the best. Been coming here for over 10 yrs they've changed owners a cpl times but its as good as ever

    Nice
    Ferby S.

They started us off with chips, salsa, and a bean dip, which was a nice touch and something I don't see everywhere. I went with the two-item combo enchilada plate with shredded chicken and shredded beef, served with rice and beans. The portion size was very good - definitely satisfying - and the enchiladas were exactly what I was hoping for. This is comfort food for me, and this plate delivered. We also ordered the carnitas plate and the chile colorado, both served with rice and beans. The chile colorado had good flavor overall and was enjoyable. The carnitas had good flavor, though the texture was a bit inconsistent. Some pieces were tender, while others felt slightly overcooked or dry, which made a few bites less satisfying than they could've been. The salsa was good - not the best I've ever had, but flavorful and a nice complement to the food. Service was friendly, they took our order quickly, and the food came out fast. They were busy, so there was a slight delay at times, but still attentive when we needed them. Parking is mostly street parking, and when we went there was space available, though you may have to walk a little bit depending on the time. Overall, the portion size and value stood out to me. This is a solid, comforting Mexican spot, and I'd come back.

First, just like most casual Mexican restaurants you are greeted with house made salsa and chips to snack on while you study the menus for your meal. The salsa is very fresh and the chips are not, thank goodness, over salted. It's a perfect starter! I enjoyed the meal option of four chicken flautas with rice, beans, and perfectly portioned guacamole and sour cream. You are able to make your own choice of meat stuffing, which I love, knowing that the flautas are freshly made. I chose to have chicken and found it to be perfectly fried, not overly seasoned, which some places do. I like that you can actually taste the chicken and not just spice. I also had the horchata to drink, and I loved it! The service is wonderful, with many families flocking to the restaurant for that homemade feel for dinner. The staff has always been kind enough to offer a refill of your drink/soda to go if you wish. Kindness from the staff is a real highlight of Raul's. The ambiance of being at home is a plus for me. There are a few handicap parking spots available in the small adjoined parking lot, with easy wheelchair access through the front door. There is also plenty of parking spots located on the street and in the available parking lot located in the middle of Hawthorne Blvd. There is a television with captions on for those that are HOH, hard of hearing. Being a hearing aide user, I sincerely appreciated this. I consider this a hidden gem in Hawthorne.

I have driven by this place a gazillion times, but had never gone in. Its a few blocks down from my Mom's house and right across the street from Hawthorne High School. I went with their 4 taco combo, shredded beef. How were they? Pretty freaking tasty! Right when I took the lid off the container, they looked similar to old school El Tarasco tacos. Red sauce on top, fried shell etc. Even the chips they give you were full fried tortillas. Bomb! The tacos were tasty, but they lost a little texture and crisp from the delivery. They would be better if ordered at the shop. Still, even then, I enjoyed every bite of them. They had lots of shredded beef in them, tons of lettuce and cheese and that red sauce. Damn fine tacos! I will definitely be back to eat inside there the next time I go see my Mom. Good stuff!

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.

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.

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.
