Tamales Licha

Nestled in a building that dates back to an earlier era for the old port of Acapulco, Tamales Licha offers authentic southern Mexican fare. A tamale is a large corn tortilla spread thick with a spicy filling and then folded up in corn leaves and steamed. Tamales Licha is the expert in this uniquely Mexican treat, offering many different kinds, with sauces of all levels of spice, heat and color. Fillings are of many different varieties, including chicken, beef, pork, and vegetarian choices. Many other traditional favorites are on the menu. Visitors can safely try atole, a local drink derived from corn starch and available in many natural fruit flavors and colors.
