I enjoy their flautas. I got a craving for them at 7:15pm and was told they close their fryer down early on Wednesdays and they won’t be making anymore fried items for the evening after waiting on hold for 5 minutes. Seems like they’re more worried about closing early than serving the dinner service their full menu. Going elsewhere.

I wanted to surprise my husband with something yummy from his favorite place (Lichi's Mex) but I can't drive and I had already walked 2 miles by the time I realized I didn't have my wallet! Fortunately, I had about $9 in cash in my pocket... So, I went into Lichi's and asked what I could get for $9 and the girl working there was SO NICE I almost cried (it's been a very hard week - we had a death in the family yesterday, among other things) and she helped me maximize my spending money so that I was able to get my husband a great -BIG- meal.I totally get why Lichi's Mex is his fave :) The atmosphere, the food, the portions, the prices, and -especially- the people are all excellent.Thank you for making a terrible week a little more bearable, Lichi's Mex. I hope this review helps you too! <3

This place is good . There are a bit of flaws that can be improved. But here's what I got.Tostada bowl, chicken. And Chile relleno with red salsa.The bowl was good it even had some seeds in it which is new to me. On the down side the chicken was a bit dry. And it was missing a sauce or salsa so i used the tortilla chips salsa. It was good. The Chile relleno was okay. It was spicy so just be prepared to get a kick . One down fall foe this plate is that we asked what cheese was innit, and they said panela, and whwn we opened it up it was mozzarella. Didn't know how to feel about that because they misinformed me. But nevertheless the flavor was there. Their cafe de Olla was good . ? I definitely hope their ingredients can improve. Location is nice and the restaurant is clean and the staff are super friendly and I appreciate all their efforts! I would definitely come back for more of their menu items.
I'm back again! I seriously love it here and enjoy it every time I'm here! The fiesta bowl is my favorite! This time I did the chicken fiesta bowl with shrimp as well, ya know have to get that protein I've tried the breakfast burrito, and torta and it's all so delicious. The best Mexican quality food you'll find in Tujunga, actually even in montrose. This is the best! I love coming here getting work done on my laptop and eating a delicious meal I'll sure be returning again and again.

My husband and I tried this for lunch last week and had a great meal and dine in experience. It's a great casual spot, it looks recently updated, both the inside and menu. We loved our tacos. The guac was awesome, my grilled shrimp tacos were great. Would definetly come back for dinner. Good little local spot. I want to try their margarita next time.

My husband and I always go to Everest, which is about two blocks down the street for breakfast every Sunday This place was highly recommended by my daughter for their breakfast burritos. We not impressed!! They put refried beans which oozes out when you take a bite. The breakfast burritos are better down the street at Everest AND much cheaper!Husband had the French toast. He said it was good, but not extra ordinary. Especially for the price. If you're going to charge these prices, then the food needs to stand out and not be just another order of French toast.Cashier didn't seem to care and was very unfriendly. When she served the food, she didn't even put silverware on her table. I had to go and request it from one of the cooks. And when requesting a bag for my to-go, I felt like I was an annoyance. Tell her to be warmer to customers.Over priced for what you get.Don't get me wrong, the food wasn't that bad... It could've been better, especially for the prices they charge, but the lack of warmth and friendliness is why we won't be back

The restaurant is in a strip mall, but that should not deter you from going. Plenty of parking, it's a walk up and order place where they then bring the food to the table. Really pleasant staff, eclectic music, and the food really tastes good. I recommend getting the salsa trio. Free chips for the table. I would definitely go back!
Very well put together bacon breakfast burrito (over easy egg). Always hits that spot. Friendly service and quick as well.

I've been to Lichis Mex three times and will come back. Vibe:The space is clean, colorful, with natural light and real plants - feels lively! The front of the house staff are friendly and welcoming when ordering on the phone or at the restaurant. When an issue came up with my family's order, the staff and manager made effort to resolve it in a timely manner and we got it worked out. I appreciated that! Food:Aguas frescas are refreshing just a tad sweet for me. Grilled tacos de pescado (fish) and camarón (shrimp) as well as fiesta bowls and tostadas de ceviche were a hit. The food tastes high quality and pinto beans and Mexican rice are freshly made and made right. When ordering veggie fiesta bowl, make sure that you confirm all the ingredients before ordering since grilled veggies were not included in last order and I got extra corn instead. I hope they'll continue to have more vegan / plant based options in the future. In the mean time, here are some tips from my experience:1. Pick Up - check your to-go order before you take it to make sure everything is included. 2. Veggie Option - when ordering vegetarian fiesta bowl, I was told to ask for grilled vegetables since saying "no meat" or "only beans" might not trigger the order to include grilled veggies.

I love this place. I usually always order quesitacos or fish tacos because they are so fire!!!I also appreciate how clean the place is! Definitely coming back

Been to lichis 6+ times. Majority of the time it has been very mediocre at best and few time I threw the food away as it was uneatable. Every time I tried something new until I gave up. Bad ingredients, bad construction and bad taste. How I imagine mexican food would taste if served in London.The prices are also insanely high for mexican food in LA. Visit ANY taco truck you will do better.
Thanks for the delicious breakfast!
