This place is a cute little restaurant located on the corner in South Philly. There's street parking available. It's also BYOB! I think it slipped my mind but I would've definitely brought some alcohol! However, their margarita mix did just the trick as well. I went here with a group on a hot Saturday day and we were seated immediately. I 100% recommend the elote. It was so good. The margarita mix with tamarind juice was so good as well. That hint of tajin chili/lime seasoning gave it that little kick! The bang bang fried shrimp is to die for! The pollo tacos I didn't get to try, but they looked great. Quesabirria tacos were so good as well as the sauce. The Tinga empanadas - I also didn't try but it looked appetizing. The guacamole and queso fundido were soooooo goooood! They were hot and we may have mixed them together for that zesty flavor. I also like that they offered bottled water. Overall, the price wasn't bad and the food was actually really good. I would definitely come back here because the prices were decent for the food that we had and they were good portion sizes that we didn't feel bloated afterwards. This was a great place and I would recommend it to anyone who loves trying out new foods! I also liked that it was family owned and our waitress was friendly as well. 10/10 overall.

My new favorite Mexican restaurant. I'm so happy I discovered this place with my husband. We went a Sunday afternoon and had lunch- and had a great time. The restaurant starts you with chips and salsa which is great. We also got the guacamole which was super fresh. They have a wide array of tacos from their taco bar, we had the lamb barbacoa and tuna tacos. Both were absolutely delicious. The tuna tacos have a nice fusion flair with Japanese elements. For other dishes: we loved the enchiladas de mole, they were very decadent and packed with flavor. I also noticed you get 4 enchiladas! A lot of places they give you 2 or 3 (don't get my started on the ones that give you just 1) so we were definitely full and satisfied! The spicy potatoes are another Asian Mexican fusion dish with really good flavor. We ended with the Churro Cheesecake which was perfectly balanced and not too sweet. Every dish was beautifully plated. We can't wait to go back!!

Our household was excited when El Mictlan opened up around the corner. We dined in a few times and everything was great. As someone else mentioned, the Nopalito soup is a must try! The restaurant is cozy and service was great.

This place has to be one of the best kept secrets in Philly. Absolutely amazing both in food, service. affordable for how high quality and delicious everything was. The server made great recommendations and was warm. The ambiance is calm, homey and sweet. Really amazing to get to eat such a high quality 3 course meal without feeling stuffy.We had the Tuna Crudo and it was standout amazing. Can't wait to get it again. The fish tacos were great, and we ended on the tres leches cake. I haven't been this excited about a restaurant I've been to maybe ever. I can't stop talking about it and can't wait to bring more friends through.

Never saw smaller portions from a mexican restaurant in my life. It was not cheap either. The tacos were 2-3 bites and the tostadas were the size if my finger. Mexican rice was microwaved white rice. How this place has all great reviews I am confused! Yuppie don't know good food its really a shame they run yelp . Also they gave no receipt
