Food was great grilled shrimp tacos are amazing asada torta was great to must try the ceviche is good to !!

We came for the tacos, and tried the asada, al pastor, carnitas, fries fish, and fried shrimp. We also ordered beans and rice on the side ($3 extra), two frescas, and a quesadilla for the little people. The seafood tacos were FANTASTIC. The carnitas and pastor tacos were... not only meh, but just plain wrong. The carnitas were these neat little cubes of pork, as opposed to the nice crispy shredded strings you'd expect. The pastor bore no resemblance to pastor whatsoever. It was bland, mild, and stewed. They clearly have a vertical spit in store for doing proper trompos of legit Mexican taqueria style pastor, so I have no idea why they aren't using it. Nobody in LA does pastor right, so Lichis could be famous overnight if they lock down a real pastor recipe. The asada was very good, and I'd happily order that again. Not as good as the incredible fish and shrimp tacos, but still good basic asada. The beans and rice were unexpected stars of the meal. They just nail both of those. You tend to think of Mexican beans & rice as take-it-or-leave-it sides, but that's only because almost nobody does it well. These were good enough to be entrees by themselves. We also got an order of the flan, which was clearly homemade from scratch. It was PERFECT. A little eggy, a little custardy, with a smooth texture and wonderful caramel flavor. The salsa bar was also notable, with a well balanced variety of perfectly seasoned, flavorful salsas. As a whole, the items we had were a mixed bag - but given how a few particular items were just massive home-runs (seafood tacos, beans & rice, flan) I have high hopes for Lichis. Here's hoping they put that spit to use and start making genuine, hand-carved pastor tacos. If they do that, and they nail that pastor recipe, I will be here every day, and I'm not even joking. read more

Mouth watering perfect amount of balanced fresh flavors high quality ingredients that taste so fresh ! I had their breakfast tacos before and I thought they were amazing and yesterday I had a asada tacos and the pastor wow out of this world ! It trumps every Mexican restaurant on the Blvd and I have eaten at 90% of the restaurants more times then I can count ! Some are good but Lichis is amazing ! They new owners took over almost 3 years ago and they adjusted and did some magic with the new recipes they people understand the art of culinary ! read more

Great spot. Food is good overall. Top picks are the Lichi style asada tacos, shrimp tacos, and their fiesta bowl. Cucumber Aqua Fresca is good too. Customer service is great and their pico de gallo is my favorite because they dice up everything very finely. read more

Tried this place out twice now, so I'll review 2 separate meals. Breakfast: I got a breakfast burrito (no meat) and it was surprisingly VERY good. The refried beans and guac were fresh and everything all around tasted authentic. I would definitely order more of those. Lunch: I ordered the Fiesta bowl, it was good but not great. The description says beans but if you look at some pictures they are these green nut(almond) type beans. Maybe that's how authentic beans are supposed to be in a bowl but it wasn't my thing. I'd probably try something else for lunch next time. I didn't get a chance to go inside since my wife picked it up but she mentioned the staff was friendly and liked the modern decor inside. read more

Super delicious Mexican food probably the best Mexican restaurant I been to , would recommend to everyone

I've been coming here regular since I found it 2 years ago. Unfortunately, the prices keep going up. At $14/burrito plus $0.75 for a tiny, watery salsa, my family and I have cut back to about 1/4 of the visits we used to do. While the space is large, you're not exactly paying for nice ambiance so for me it's strictly a take out joint. read more

So my portion of house potatoes is kinda laughable... it's like I got the last little bit left in the pan or something. Lacks flavor and was the main reason why I ordered the dish--for the breakfast potatoes. And on top of that, food is cold. Thumbs down. I don't like my things over salted and I'm over here adding salt to my "10" little potatoes and side of beans read more

Lichis recently opened near my house and I was so excited to try a new Mexican restaurant. I had a chicken and carne asada taco and side of rice and beans. I was happy to get free chips and salsa as well. They had a great salsa bar with many choices. The staff was nice and helpful while I ordered. It's really cute inside and we didn't have ant wait since You seat yourself and order at the counter. I really enjoyed my experience and will be going back. read more

I'm not from the area, and was blown away by the awesome breakfast burrito I ordered. On the way to Azuza I was craving Mexican food and this place popped up. I AM SO GLAD I STOPPED! The woman over the phone was accommodating and pleasant, and just as sweet when I picked up my order. My order was ready in 10 minutes(chorizo breakfast burrito). I know it sounds weird to compliment, but the texture and placement of ingredients was perfect. Each bite was filled with everything included in the burrito. You know sometimes when you bite into a burrito and it's a mouth full of one thing? Not this burrito, deliciousness! *chef kiss to the cook* I shared the burrito on the drive and we contemplated turning around to grab another one for the drive ahead. Hahahaha! Clean, fresh, and yummy :) Anyone living in this area has a mouth watering Mexican restaurant! read more

Just want to give an honest review. We were craving tacos so we thought we'd try this place ...Pros : clean , good service Cons : tacos pastor- dry chicken- no flavor asada- best one but still so dry!!!! Even ordered them "Lichis style" disappointing.... read more

Nothing to write home about . I could make better home style Mexicn food and for a fraction of the cost. I was shocked the bill was so high for what I got. I understand costs are high but I'd rather go somewhere else for what I got. read more

Was in here for the first time last week and it was a great experience. The food was great and the service was friendly. One star off for advertising breakfast in a place that opens at 9 AM. Only stoners and slackers eat breakfast at this time. If you offer breakfast, open at 6 AM. However, it is nice to see a nice Mexican food place replace the old Tortas Mexico place in the same unit. I will not dignify it by calling it a restaurant since the people there were so rude and indifferent to customers. No surprise that it went belly up. Good riddance. The menu is simple but the food is great. I ordered the enchilada plate, and it came garnished with tomatoes, lettuce and sour cream. The quality of the enchiladas as well as the beans and rice was spot on. Salsa bar selection was good and the salsas themselves fresh and tasty. The young woman at the counter was friendly and helpful with the menu. The place was very clean and smelled fresh inside. I will be back. read more

I tried their taco Tuesday special. Tacos were street size very small. Had little to no flavor and were a little bland. There was very little meat. The gal who took my order asked me what I wanted. I said I would like a chicken taco and a pork taco. She then asked me what type of meat I wanted. I said chicken. Then she said what type of meat do I want on the 2nd taco. I said pork. Then she asked me if I wanted salsa. I said yes I would like some green chili verde salsa. Then she asked me if I wanted pico de Gallo or verde salsa. I said the green one. Either I was not speaking English or this person was not paying attention to what I was saying. read more

Food is really good, you need to try it! I was craving something different instead of the great American burger. I'm glad I did new spot for Mexican food. read more

Came here twice. First time, I had the shrimp and fish tacos. It was decent ! Second time, I had the shrimp ceviche and it was AMAZING! Super flavorful with lime and chili and I only wish it was a bigger portion with more chips on the side. read more

I Absolutely love this place!! The best tacos! And the nicest people. I've been coming here for a while now and every time it's so so good! If your craving tacos and bomb horchata come here! read more

The food options were very limited and they didn't have tea. Just one version of coffee

It's just ok. The street corn is my favorite - didn't like the nachos. Not sure what I'm looking for but it sure wasn't what I expected. read more

Great place we loved the litchis carne asada tacos! They are delicious. Place got updated and remodeled it looks super cute & clean! Friendly service read more

The salsas!!!! They are homemade and delicious. The chips aren't greasy and compliment the salsas perfectly. I came in on a Saturday morning and had menudo. They serve a zacatecas style menudo without hominy, which I love. It was fresh and delicious. The staff is friendly and the service is great. They were even nice enough to bring our table a sweet bread at the end of our meal. read more

This is based solely on the 3 tacos I ordered because it was my first time here, but they were fresh and delicious. I had a crispy fish taco, an Al pastor lichi style, and a crunchy shell chicken taco. All 3 were yummy! A little pricey here, but I think the quality makes it worth it. Their food comes with a fresh bag of chips and your choice of 3 salsas, a mild Verde which is very good, a spicy red sauce and a medium salsa that is tomato-ish, a bit like a blended pico de Gallo. read more

So happy that we tried this place tonight for takeout. I got the Breakfast Burrito with veggies and the husband got the burrito with chicken. We were both super happy with what we got. It was exactly what we wanted. I saved half of mine because it was huge, but the husband couldn't stop until it was gone because it was so good! I asked for mine to be not spicy and they actually listened! I love them for this, and I actually tried calling to thank them for our delicious meal, but they had just closed for the night. I hope the girls who helped me get to read this! Can't wait to have the zucchini bread for breakfast tomorrow. We'll be back soon. Thanks again!! read more

Ate here for first time yesterday. First things first...bowl of menudo, cup of coffee (no refills), orange juice...$29.00. Next, service was excellent, from order taking to table service...thank you for that. Menudo was tasty even though no hominy included..who does that ? This is NOT a cozy restaurant, it is a true taqueria. It is clean and neat with music playing. Parking was easy. Overall, too pricy for what you get. Maybe that's why there were only 2 more customers and 1 takeout in 1 hour. Probably won't be back. read more

Great service.... Incredible Tacos I just moved to the area and these are the best tacos in La Cresenta/Tujunga. Don't walk... RUN to this place and come hungry! read more

Ordered via Grubhub the other day for the first time. I got a carnitas quesadilla and it was fantastic and large portion! The guacamole was flavorful and salsa with just enough spice. I will definitely try out other menu items! read more

Friendly service and excellent cleanliness coupled with delicious soft tacos and tasty burritos. Lichis deserves its success.

The quesitaco and ceviche is bomb ... mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Hi Yelpers, this review is for the Lichis Tacos and hardshell tacos. I decided to give this new place a try. They have a deal every Tuesday on all tacos.... priced at $2. I ordered 2 regular tacos, 3 Lichis tacos, and 3 hard shelled tacos. The tacos were tasty and had a good amount of meat especially the Lichis tacos. The salsa was good but I think they may need to add a spicier version. They have 4 salsa options pico de gallo, avocado salsa, salsa roja, and a brown one. The food is tasty and they have a taco Tuesday special that makes the food reasonably priced. If you're in the area I would encourage you to check this place out, it seems to be one of the better taco options in Tujunga. read more

Lichis Mex - Lichis Tacos - Tacos Near Me - Los Angeles, California

My daughter ordered from here for the first time, earlier today. Some tacos and a "torta" in quotation marks because it tasted absolutely nothing like a torta! The food was super greasy, especially this so called torta! The paper that it was wrapped in was just stuck on the bread I had to peel it off piece by piece. The tacos were as greasy and tasteless. A bit bit after I finished whatever I could finish from my torta, I started to feel sick to my stomach. Nausea and all. 6 hours later and I could almost still taste and smell the grease until now! I mean come on! read more

Lichis is one of my favorite Mexican spots in LA. My usual order is a pastor torta with chips and their medium sauce. It's literally always good and I never regret it lol. The staff is very nice and the restaurant is clean. 10/10 I would recommend it. Great spot to eat some great Mexican food. read more

Came in yesterday for breakfast & it was definitely worth the trip! The open space is definitely very inviting & with nice almost minimalist decor. The service is great, the girls are super friendly and attentive! I got the chorizo hash, sooo good! My mom got the huevos rancheros which she loved, and my boyfriend also loved his chorizo breakfast burrito. The aguas frescas and THE COFFEE! Enjoyed it all! Definitely will be returning here as I loved that it was a very modern feel with the food staying true to being like a home-cooked meal. I'd say the prices are fair as you get a good amount of food to fill you up. Definitely will recommend! read more

The second best torta I've ever had in my life. Great balance between the flavors and ingredients. Tastes very fresh. You know this place is good when they've been surviving next to that in n out. read more

Food was fresh and tasty. Very friendly service. We had the fish tacos and chicken enchiladas verdes. Flan was rich and creamy.

The food is greasy, overpriced and the 2 times I ordered from them they messed up ones and had missing items (yes more then one).

I am glad I finally tried this place out. Their Lichis street tacos are great. My son loves their crispy shrimp tacos, and their burritos are on point. They are soon going to serve adult beverages too. read more

Amazing food and great customer service! The carne asada torta and the chorizo burrito are my favorite!

Good friendly ppl, Always come here and get burritos and tacos. Very very delicious. Definitely recommend getting fish and shrimp tacos. read more

Stacy L, I don't consider bone pieces, cartilage, and fat worthy of the $15 you charged me. I get the same burrito elsewhere with better ingredients for half the price without the fat, cartilage, and pieces of bone. You obviously are passing the spike in prices to your customers and $15 for a burrito is ridiculous. BTW the online menu clearly shows $14 for a burrito, not the $13.70+tax you say in your response, and furthermore to your response "we do believe it is a fair price to pay for a burrito filled with freshly made ingredients which are uncommon to find these days" every place I have bought burritos from in my 55 years on this earth use fresh ingredients and it is common. If this is one of the most popular items on your menu then good luck in the future, you'll need it, I have lived in this area for over 30 years and have seen more restaurants fail than succeed up here, Cheers. read more
