The small menu is packed with inventive cuisine, a combo of street-food staples and popular cantina dishes. Order a zippy cocktail (we like El Zorro), sit back, and soak up Licha's lovely, homey vibe. Read more

Cazuelas and mezcal are on the menu crafted by longtime industry veteran Daniel Brooks. The Mexico City native worked a quick swicheroo in the old Papi Tino's space. Read more

Love, love, love! I want to eat the menu this place is so good. Most of menu is gluten free and on point! Just don't eat all the chips before your food comes 😜

Loved the Watermelon Jalapeño margarita . They have beautiful presentation! Had the roasted mushroom queso and it was good 😱

Anastasia Belozertseva

Delicious mexican spot with an extensive menu. We loved our queso , tacos , lamb and duck in mole . Head back to the patio , sip on a spicy margarita and enjoy the food!

Basically one of my favorite go to places in ATX. Authentic upscale Mexican cuisine that makes me proud of my heritage at a very affordable price .

Jennifer Boone

Our dishes were delicious (pozole and choriqueso ) but we were having some serious dish envy with the plates around us. We will definitely be back!

Allison Abbott

Pastor, bacon , and chorizo quesadilla made more than one of us at the table cry from happiness. Loved this little place!

Skirt steak tacos were great, excellent flavor. it's definitely a sharing portion. My friend and I split it and it was just perfect.

Luke

Good margaritas and fresh guacamole . Worth asking about the preparations for the mains if you don't like surprises and/or "concepts"

Nat Eliason

Great spicy drink with grapefruit and jalapeño , can't remember the name but you'll find it.

Quesadillas are out of this world.

Choriqueso and tlacayos were yum! The Paloma margarita was too strong and the vampiro was just ok. Chelas were really cold as they are supposed to be ;)

Coming from the northeast I run into a lot of bad Mexican food . On my trip to Austin I tried a lot of good Mexican food I never knew existed. Licha's Cantina was far and away the best I've ever had.
