" El Mitote has become my go-to for Mexican food! The ambiance is always vibrant and the food consistently delicious. Their tacos are bursting with flavor! One thing I noticed this time was that the service was slower than usual, but it did not dampen my overall enjoyment. Definitely recommend it for a laid-back evening. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited El Mitote last weekend and was impressed by their selection of traditional dishes. The nachos were excellent and the guacamole was some of the best I've had in New York. However, I felt that the service could improve; we waited longer than expected for our drinks. Overall, it's a great spot, but they should work on service timing. " (*Curated Review*)

" I have to admit, El Mitote has captured my heart! The vibrant decor and authentic food make it the perfect place to unwind with friends. The shrimp tacos were fantastic, although the service was not as fast as I hoped. But given the busy atmosphere, it’s understandable. Can't wait to go back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Great find on the Upper West Side! The food was delicious and authentic, from the first bite to the last. I particularly enjoyed the enchiladas and the vibrant flavors that came with them. The service was friendly; we had a very personable waiter. The only area they need to work on is the pace of service—it can get a bit annoying during peak times. " (*Curated Review*)

" Our experience at El Mitote was both delightful and frustrating at times. The atmosphere is intimate and lively, and the guacamole was delicious! The only downside was that our main courses took longer than we expected. The meat was incredible, though - very flavorful! I would certainly come back despite the hiccups. " (*Curated Review*)

" Delicious food that truly captures the essence of Mexican cooking! I had their steak tacos and they were phenomenal! However, the atmosphere was a bit noisy for my taste. The staff was efficient when ordering, but we waited a bit long for our food, which was a little disappointing. Overall, I recommend it for the food! " (*Curated Review*)

" Great place for a casual dinner! El Mitote serves some of the finest tacos you can find in the city. The flavors are authentic and vibrant, bringing a piece of Mexico right to NYC. We tried guacamole, which complemented the meal well. The staff was friendly and attentive, making sure our glasses were always full. Can’t wait to go back! " (*Curated Review*)
