"You can find guac, al pastor, and empanadas on lots of menus in South Philly. But El Mictlan isn’t your average Mexican BYOB. The dishes—some classic, some fusion—are more memorable than the casual environment suggests, like the stunning tuna tostadas. But you still won't have to go all out with a fancy place that takes itself too seriously. Bring someone early on in the relationship to find out if they have great taste in food and BYO tequila." - candis mclean, alison kessler
