Licha's Restaurant — Restaurant in Hawthorne

Where "the locals" eat you know you're going to get a great meal. That's Licha' s! After "crying" that strip of El Segundo...nothing moved me...I turned around and found this little "street food" right out of somebodies Mama's kitchen..."who knew how to cook"...brought in-doors. Treasure! Sweet, inviting people who serve you...and fill the small table space twice while we're enjoying our new found treasure that's been there for years. Everybody talked to everybody...it's family. You can call ahead and they will set it on the table when you sit down. The drinks are so fresh. The bowl of huge Haas avocados and bananas sits on the front counter. Can't get fresher than that. Wonderful treat that pulled me out of my "dull-drums." On my top 10 favorite...

One of the South Bay’s Hidden Gems! I’ve been coming to this amazing Latin spot for over 13 years, and it continues to be one of my all-time favorite places. The owners are truly incredible,kind, warm, and genuinely welcoming. They treat you like family and always greet you with a smile. They even remember my usual order, which makes every visit feel personal and special.

The food is consistently delicious, and they serve incredible fresh juices, including a fantastic horchata. Just a heads-up: it’s a cash-only spot, so plan ahead,it’s absolutely worth it.

If you’re in the South Bay and want to support a place with heart, flavor, and a loyal local following, this is the place to go. I can’t recommend it enough!

Thank you so...

Their phone number doesn't work but they are open.

I came here last week for lunch. Lucky for me, it was an off hour so there was only one customer in the store. They have a tiny parking lot for 3-4 cars.

When I got here, I was seated right away. The guy working was nice, and he opened the curtains for me since he saw that I was reading.

I ordered the chile relleno and a chicharron taco. The chile relleno was good, but the chicharron taco was just okay. I was expecting it to be dry, but it was soggy since they used the chicharron similar to the ones you'd buy at the store to eat as chips.. and put some sauce on it.

Complimentary chips and salsa were cool.
