Licha's Cantina

Located in the heart of East 6th Street, Licha’s has become a niche restaurant for Austinites craving a bite of interior México. The restuarant is named after owner, Daniel Brooks’ mother, Alicia “Licha” Rivera, who is one of six children raised by Pepe and Licha Rivera in Mexico City.

Each of our dishes – from our cazuelita de cochinita pibil, our tlacoyo de camarón con mole, to our sopes de lengua – include garnishes that are not commonly seen and offer a depth of flavor with each bite. If you’re interested in distilled agave products, Licha’s offers a large range of tequilas, mescales, bacanoras and sotoles. All of our traditional hand crafted cocktails and modern-fusion drinks are made with freshly squeezed juices and ‘aguas frescas.” Or if you just want a Coronita con limón, we have that, too. Lichas’ friendly and knowledgable staff is here to help should you have any questions about any of our dishes.
