Visited this cute restaurant for the first time in July 2025 and absolutely adored it! We loved the authentic and homey feel of the dining room, and the food was wonderful! The Nopalito cactus soup was delightful (and spicy!), the enchiladas mole were SO yummy, and the Guajillo Risotto was to die for! The horchata tres leches was light, fluffy, and a great way to cap off the meal. The servers were a little timid and confused at times, but overall we had a great time and can’t wait to come back!

We have the most amazing experience here! We found this place on accident a few weeks ago and since been back. The service is 10/10 our waitress was so attentive and very sweet. If you are looking to dine at an authentic Mexican restaurant ( coming from a Mexican herself) look no further. Always bring some tequila they sell a wonderful margarita mix. Cannot say enough great things about this place!!! We will be back like always

The food at this Mexican restaurant is quite good, offering a diverse selection of dishes from risotto to octopus. While some options may not be entirely traditional, the restaurant adds its own unique twist that works well. The space is on the smaller side, so if you’re planning to come with a large group, it’s best to call ahead to check for availability. Keep in mind that due to the limited size of the kitchen, orders may take a bit longer during busy times, so a little patience goes a long way.

Absolutely amazing place, you could call it a hole in the wall. We had some apps and the burritos/tacos were absolutely delicious. Our friend had been raving about this place for a long time and I’m so sad we didn’t try it sooner. I’m already plotting when I’ll be back to dine again. Pricing is so fair. So so happy with this place.

The food here is super authentic! The chef is incredible and super creative. His birria is always a great choice, but you can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. Super cute hidden gem in south Philly. Highly recommend!

El Mictlan is an authentic Mexican BYOB restaurant in South Philly! I came because of the 5 star rating and had a good experience.
We came on a Saturday night at 8pm and got a table right away. Service was very friendly and quick. Food came out fast.
We started with the elote, oh my gosh. Absolutely delicious. The cotija cheese was next level! The spicy camohtli was my favorite dish, the potatoes were so crispy and had the perfect amount of spice. It almost seemed like an Asian/Mexican fusion dish.
For our entrees we got the quesabirria tacos and tuna tostadas. The tacos were good, not great. A little too much cheese for my liking, the meat to cheese ratio was a bit off. The tuna tostadas were also just good. The ahi tuna wasn’t super fresh tasting, I could tell it was lower grade. The flavor was great though!
While I’m not running to come back here, I did have a good meal. The atmosphere left a lot to be desired, I think they could spruce it up just a bit more. I also thought it was odd how quiet it was for a Saturday night.

I had a good time at this restaurant. Everything was clean and the staff were really friendly. My friend and I started with the esquites appetizer, and it was delicious. Definitely a great way to kick off the meal.
For our entrees, I had the Parrilla Mexicana and my friend got the Mole Colorado. I really enjoyed mine—everything was seasoned well and cooked just right. My friend, on the other hand, wasn’t too happy with their dish. It only came with half a chicken breast, which felt like a small portion for the price. The rice wasn’t great, and while the beans were super watery, they actually tasted good. My friend ended up just eating the chicken and left the sides, so they were still hungry afterward.
Even though their dish missed the mark, I’d still come back and try something else. The overall experience was nice, and there’s more on the menu I’d like to check out.

Cute little place in Philly. I went for lunch. Was not super busy. Service was very prompt and courteous. I had an appetizer, an entree and a dessert. All three were delivered right on time. Not too early or too long after each round. Food was delicious! Authentic quality. Server was very friendly and full of smiles. Will definitely go back to this hidden gem when I get to Philadelphia again! Thank you for a great experience!

We love food – Mexican food especially. Once we find a place, it’s “our” place. This has now become our place. The service is welcoming and warm – like being at your favorite aunts house. The food is authentic and very very delicious – we particularly enjoyed the birria and lamb tacos. We also enjoyed the watermelon gazpacho, a summer special (it was sweet, salty and spicy – a fun mouth rollercoaster). Highly recommend checking this place out.

I almost don’t want to give them such a good review because of how good the food is, and I know it’ll get super busy. But they deserve their flowers. Tacos are guacamole has been perfect every time I come here. Service is always great and it’s a BYOB, so bring a bottle of something and have a great time! Highly recommend and I think they have brunch but I haven’t tried it…. Yet
