The Austin Chronicle is an independent, locally owned and operated alternative newsweekly that reflects the heart and soul of Austin, Texas.
Serving self-described “Mexico City soul food,” these folks specialize in distilled agave spirits, masa, and slow-and-low proteins and bold spices. Cochinita pibil sopecitos, mole con pollo huaraches, huitlacoche quesadillas? Yep, all of that, please. Licha’s also hosts one of the best happy hours in town, with $6 craft cocktails and munchies. The convivial patio space is always a great time.
