Mictlan México

This place was great. We came by for brunch - had fantastic margaritas and great food. I got chilequiles with steak and it was really good. I don’t know why more people weren’t here!

We ate here as part of a private party ( birthday). The whole back space was reserved. I can’t say enough about how well we treated and how delicious the food was. Everything was fresh, and the staff was always checking on things, replenishing the food and drinks, and overall making it a great event. I’d recommend it highly. In addition, the neighborhood is interesting and hip, with restaurants, galleries, etc.

I’ve been to Mictlan Mexico several times, their food is amazing and the service impeccable! Their staff is always so friendly and accommodating. They make a delish spicy margarita, and their shrimp tacos are out of this world!! Their guacamole is great too. 10/10 would recommend ✅

My favorite Mexican restaurant!!. Food is amazing, I’m a big fan of their shrimp ceviche and skirt steak (arrachera) with rice and beans, every time I order it tastes exactly the same. They make you feel like home. The waiters are so friendly and sweet and they always thank you with shots on the house. I decided to celebrate my birthday there and I asked for a special menu suggestion. They offered to prepare paella and bone marrow … OMG, it was the best food ever ever. Thank you guys for making my bday so special and for being so welcoming every time I visit.

Very relaxed atmosphere, delicious food, and a fantastic Spicy Passion Fruit Margarita.

The food was burnt and lacked taste and the manager refused to refund or swap the food out even though it was hardly eaten and prepared poorly. Extremely long wait time as well, lacked efficiency. Would not try again, manager obviously does not care about keeping customers happy, tense energy as soon as I expressed that I wasn’t content with the food. You could tell just my pulling the fries apart that they were not prepared correctly. Other people seemed to enjoy their food, might have had a different energy towards me because I was one of the only darker skinned people present.

I loved the warm and colorful Mexican style. We had tacos, my favorite were steak and carnitas. The service was nice and attentive. I can’t share photos of the food. It was so good that we ate it before to write this review!

The service was good. However automatic 20% tip included on a party of 2 with a small check on a weekday. Then you get prompted to give another tip after you give your card, without the original receipt there to see that you already paid a tip. Do not appreciate that.

Very friendly staff and the food was very good!! Great spot for brunch or to celebrate a birthday Definitely recommend!!!

The tacos were good and decent but I'd rather go somewhere else, I wont say here in this review, for tacos. If you know, then you know. I got the shrimp tacos and really liked the sauces that accompanied the table. Super spicy! Me gusta! Guacamole was chunky and the chips were fresh. I would definitely come back as they have an extensive menu. They also have plenty of options on the menu that is vegan for those friends who don't eat meat =) I appreciated the honesty of the waitress who steered me away from an item on the menu that she said wasn't the best, in her opinion. Muchos gracias! Oh yeah, if you roll with a dog, they are pet-friendly at the outdoor patio. Nice for people watching in the neighborhood.

Came here after trying a mediocre spot prior to this. Was looking for a stronger drink and better food to nibble on. We decided to go with the ceviche verde and drinks. Drinks were good but I really enjoyed the ceviche. It was little sweet from the apple with fish and octopus. I wanted order a mezcal so I asked for a mezcal recommendation. Since the waitress, Jennifer, didn't drink I asked if the other waiter drank. Boris, her father and owner, ended up bringing 3 bottles for me to try. Hilarious yet amazing service. I ended up picking the one I liked. We also ordered the lamb tacos which were huge and really tasty. Service was phenomenal and we unexpectedly had a great time. Will definitely come back with more friends so we can enjoy more of the food and company.

stumbled upon this place for what I thought was going to be a quick bite, but ended up being one of my favorite places that I grabbed food at with friends for my birthday week. The happy hour taco deals are crazy so make sure to stop by. My favorite was probably the taco al pastor and the guac was super fresh! The restaurant was also kind enough to give me a complimentary tres leche cake that ended up being the star of the show. Perfectly moist and the sweetness was not overbearing! The employees were super attentive and friendly, and ensured we were constantly taken care of. I would 100% come back in the future, and you should check it out if you are in the area!

This spot was so cute and I found it randomly ! Super friendly service and yummy churros and drinks

There are zero people in this restaurant and I wondered if it was mobbed up but the food was ok and the waiter was hilarious and ran with my mobbed up bit. I hope I don't get taken out...

Came here for my birthday, they had great service and food. Staff was so nice and friendly. The atmosphere is great with hand painted murals and more space in the back of the restaurant smaller casual seating in the front as well. I don't know if they always do this but they gave me a piece of tres leche cake and sang happy birthday which was really sweet. I'd highly recommend and will be returning.

When you walk in you are greeted by positive hospitality and bright colors around the room. The monthly special drink for August including passion fruit was delicious and refreshing. I enjoyed the steak quesadilla and the churros. If it's your birthday they bring you champagne, shots, sparklers, and create a fun environment for you to enjoy the day!

Been here a few times, it's a hidden gem in the neighborhood. The food is pretty good and has been consistent. I will say the guacamole needs more salt, but I've really enjoyed the quesadilla as well as the Pescado tacos. I really like the mango salsa that comes on the Pescado tacos. The drinks are very strong and the flavors are powerful. I have noticed that service can be on the slower side and you might need to flag someone down, even when the restaurant is slower. The atmosphere could be a little more refined. Some of their decor is a little cheap. Overall, I really like this spot and I'm glad it opened in the neighborhood. I'll definitely be back. 4/5

Love this spot! Perfect for after work happy hour. They have a nice selection of flavors for their margaritas, and although some of them are too sweet for my liking, my requests to tweak the flavor level were always accommodated. Their guacamole was also very good. Haven't tried any of the other mains though, but will definitely check them out soon!

This place is near China town, their menu had the most vegan options I could find. It was incredible. They also have non vegan item. The staff was super nice, worked with what I requested to order. The ambiance is so cozy and festive. The prices are very reasonable for being in the city. Their food taste delicious, I sat at the table and ordered guacamole while I was waiting. It's the best guacamole I've ever had. The chips were good but could be much better. They were cold. I think they are pre made and it portioned out. Besides this everything we ordered has flavor, please try their hot sauce!! It's so spicy, pairs perfectly with all of their food. I will definitely be back.

I've been wanting to check out this new neighborhood spot that took over the old Fat Radish space. Finally got to do so tonight and had really high hopes, but sadly disappointed. Pros: Service was very friendly Enchiladas were tasty Prices are very reasonable Portions are quite generous Cons: Chips were stale The guacamole needed salt The Al pastor was very dry We ordered green sauce enchiladas but received red Forgot our Topo Chico until we reminded her I get it, it's a new restaurant starting out but honestly, we were the only table there and still had to ask for things twice. Again, she was very sweet and nice, but everything was very average. With all the amazing options in the neighborhood, it's hard to justify a second meal here despite wanting them to succeed. They don't have any beer or alcohol yet and hope to have a license within a month. That said, they're also not allowing byob, which could've been a good draw in. There's still potential but definitely needs work.

The chips in the nachos are small, making it hard to pick up the food. Was pretty good though, the server was very friendly.

This restaurant is amazing! Their mole and nachos are my favorite. Mango Margarita is unreal. The owner is very hands on and kind just like the staff!

The best word to describe my experience of this place is disappointment :/ Chicken burrito was really dry and the chicken was burnt. Shrimp burrito tastes like tomato paste ‍ They didn't count the drinks for the happy hour price in actual happy hour :/ Cockroach in the restroom downstairs (next to kitchen) The check was very high for such a place. And service was slaw too. I will never go to this place again. I do NOT recommend you try this place. Thanks for reading

Service is so bad. You won't be served unless you go to them.... Sat for 30 mins until someone finally give you water... and you need to come to them to say can you order otherwise they won't come to you FOREVER... no utensils even after food was served ( this was after 40 mins of waiting and no service at all..., and waited 10 more mins for utensils) come to them to get utensils... Basically you won't get any service and food is really just average. Btw the restaurant was not that busy... at all a lot of empty seats so I don't get it... Why no service...

Exceptional food, well-crafted cocktails, and attentive service. I had a wonderful dining experience here recently. The happy hour special was so tempting that I had to indulge in a myriad of margarita flavors. The burrito was so enormous it was nearly as wide as the plate's diameter and I could not finish more than half. There are a lot of vegan options available as well, including meat substitutes like seitan, and offering condiments like vegan sour cream. To top it all off, the tres leches was impeccably moist and perfectly sweetened.

I hace to say I was wondering around for a good Happy Hour place and I believe I stumbled upon this Gem. We only ordered 4 Drinks and Guac & Chips! We are definitely coming back cause it was so cozy and the drinks was made perfect to my liking. It started picking up after we was there for a hour and the staff was very friendly and attentive. Not every place have a very welcoming vibe. And I'm so interested in coming back and trying out their Dishes. Stay turned!!

An interesting experience for Cinco de Mayo, and not sure if I'd give them another chance. They were SEVERELY short staffed to the point that it became risky to ask the waitstaff for anything because they were likely to forget (enough plates, water, forgotten drinks, forgotten apps). I came with a large party for a birthday (reservation was made weeks in advance and they were clearly not prepared for us) and I ordered a classic marg which for happy hour is a good deal and and even better deal on a non holiday. It was good but served in a small disposable cup and not strong at all. They also forgot mine and I had to remind them. We started with guac and nachos (these never came), and the guac was good but there weren't enough chips to go around. I ordered the seitan tacos, which I was happy to see on the menu, and these were actually very flavorful and well done. Loaded with seitan, veggies, and a helping of guac made the two taco serving feel a bit bigger. After waiting for around 2 hours total, they comped a round of drinks after we asked but my experience was still soured due to me feeling like I had to project manage this dinner to ensure everyone had what they needed. Maybe for takeout, but likely won't dine in again.

Yet another excellent take-out dinner! Consistently delicious . We look forward to ordering food here again soon!

The staff were all friendly and nice. We had the taco + drink combo for $20 and a plate of nachos. It was definitely a taste of authentic mexican food, the meat is savory too! I love the outdoor dining vibes as well. They set up lights and some banners outside

The food was nice, but we were the only ones there on a Friday in NYC, which was a little odd, but great for covid safety! The chips didn't seem 100% fresh but they could have been sitting since not much traffic. The marg was good. Hopefully this place picks up steam and gets into its grove.

I had a brunch for my mother's 91st Birthday I wanted a local spot with easy access and the service was impeccable they attended to all my guest's needs and the food was spot on! Everyone was happy with everything that was served the food, the drinks and dessert! Mom enjoyed every minute of it! Definitely go! Thank you Mictlan

Amazing food and great service. Their ceviche was delicious and the drinks on point!

Hands down the worst Mexican food in New York but great to see new spots pop up on the block with such friendly staff!!!

Threw a friends baby shower here and the owner and staff were all so helpful and made it so easy! Food and drinks are DELICIOUS and had something for everyone, no matter if they were vegans or carnivores etc. The back room is awesome with really cool wall murals and bright colors. Loved it and cant wait to go back.

Love this placed and the company even more. Great drinks and food. I ordered steak tacos were amazing. Nice Mexican restaurant.

Their food is quality is not consistent. The pork is loaded with so much fat that if you have it in a burrito be prepared to have pools of pork fat drip out. Spicy chicken wings were never spicy. One time you'll have it coated with cornstarch with no seasoning while another time it'll have no cornstarch and be so salty it's inedible. Tres leches cake, I've never had cake soaked in milk and still be dry until I had it here...... Churos......fried in stale old oil.

Love the price, food and staff. Hidden gem that is better value than the nearby 'trendy' spots

Perfect place to have a fun time. These people will make your night a time to remember. Come for the drinks, stay for the love. Will be back. Great food, great place, great drinks, great times.

Mind blowing flavors. I had the vegan options and had to check whether it was actually dairy free, lol. The veggie quesadilla, veggie tacos, and guacamole were Perfectly seasoned and very filling. The owner and bartender were extremely gracious and friendly. I didn't see anything I wanted on the drink menu so they made a custom drink for me (I asked for something warm and sweet and he made a hot toddy). Heaven. I left so happy . Will definitely be back for the corn and seitan dishes.

Excellent birria tacos. Included cheese and it wasn't overly crispy. Some places tend to burn the cheese too much and this allowed the birria taste to come through better. Also came with a generous sized consomme with pieces of meat inside. The tres leches was recommended and it was also a winner. Refreshing and great consistency. Overall very impressed with the quality and value.

Gratis service, absolutely delicious and authentic mole con pollo. And fresh homemade quesadillas and tortillas. Waiting to taste more dishes thanks Mictlan.

I walk by Mictlan Mexico a few times a week but never stopped to eat until last night. We ordered the appetizer Ceviche Estilo Mictlan and two main dishes, Mole Poblano and Plato de Carnitas. The appetizer was small and included one or two shaved in half shrimp and probably one small scallop diced in small pieces - not worth $17. The Mole Poulsbo chicken was a nice size but smothered with mole sauce - to sweet for my taste. The sides were nicely presented but average tasting at best - not great for $22. The Plato de Carnitas pork dish was nicely presented but at least half the pork on the dish was pig fat - awful tasting and hard to eat. The sides were average at best - not worth $20. I would never go back. Not worth the $74 dollars. Big disappointment..

Excellent food!!!! Great service!!! If you are vegan or just enjoy vegan food, the vegan brunch menu is amazing! I highly recommend this place .

The food is fresh, the people are nice, and the place is worth a visit if you are in the neighborhood.

The food is super fresh. Very authentic! They just opened and it was very very good! Highly recommend.

It is an amazing place to go with your friends to have si me drinks or to get dinner. The place is nice and clean, the food is delicious and no too expensive. I loved it! I totally recommend it!

We had the Birria tacos, the steak burrito, chips and guacamole. They were all delicious. We made a pick up order. They were on time and the staff were all nice.

...thoroughly enjoyed Mictlan (its su..me(chile relleno) & my wife(chicken enchilada) + guacamole!

Food was great! The staff was friendly and the price was decent. Ordered fajitas, 2 could easily share the portion. Loved eating the leftovers today.

One of the best places I've had here in NY really good and nice staff highly recommended

Just passed by this place a couple nights ago. Really cute space at the former Fat Radish. I ordered the ceviche verde, burrito vegano, and elote vegano. Everything was really good and respectably priced for the quality and its location (LES).

Yummmm. Ordered the birria tacos and the chicken tacos. The chicken tacos weren't bad! The hot sauce they gave is amazing I loved it. The birria tacos were the highlight of my order. It was well flavored and seasoned! The consomé was so good too. I'm a fan of Mictlan! This is an authentic Mexican restaurant in L.E.S not gentrified so don't be afraid to give it a try!

Great food, awesome service. Best Mexican we had in the area. Would definitely go there again.

While staying in Chinatown, we stumbled across this quaint Mexican restaurant. If you are looking for Americanized Mexican food, this is NOT the place. This is a more authentic Mexican food. We both had Burritos and they were made with fresh ingredients, including the Mole sauce. It was fabulousl

Cute little spot right on Orchard and Canal! The food is awesome, and the atmosphere inside is really fun. Perfect spot for a weeknight, or to sit outside on the weekend.

Warm, friendly staff and great food. My group loved the super fresh Guacamole, street corn, shrimp tacos and tres enchiladas with salsa verde. The new "Best Mexican" on the LES!

The best mole enchiladas, nachos and tacos in the LES. Excellent service. Will definitely be returning.
