" Disappointed! While I've heard raving reviews about The Mictlan, my experience fell short. My enchiladas were very bland and seemed to lack seasoning. Additionally, the taco I tried was dry. On the bright side, the service staff was pleasant and did their best to ensure we were taken care of. It's a cute place, but I can't ignore the food's flavor. I might give it another chance, but not any time soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited The Mictlan thinking I might find a hidden gem. I was not wrong! The tortillas are handmade, which makes such a difference in texture and taste. My only disappointment was the birria itself; it could be a little juicier, but everything else was fantastic; the service was swift and attentive. I will be back to try more! " (*Curated Review*)

" While I had heard such great things, I was unfortunately left a bit disappointed. The atmosphere was cozy and the staff friendly, but my food was lukewarm and lacked the vibrancy I expected from authentic Mexican cuisine. I tried the guacamole, which was decent, but my tacos were a letdown. All in all, I’m not sure if I will go back any time soon unless I hear better things. " (*Curated Review*)

" My family and I visited The Mictlan last weekend. The atmosphere was casual yet charming, perfect for a relaxed lunch. The variety of dishes is excellent! We started with guacamole and chips, which were fresh and tangy. For the main course, I had the Birria platter, and it was fantastic! The service was quick, and the staff were friendly, making our dining experience even better. Definitely looking forward to coming back again soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Every time I visit The Mictlan, I leave satisfied! The tacos are some of the best I've ever tasted. They are generously filled and bursting with flavor. I love the friendly vibe and the casual decor. Service is usually very quick, but I once experienced a small delay during a busy lunch hour. Otherwise, it's always on point. If you like honest, homemade Mexican food, this is the place to be! " (*Curated Review*)

" I'm a fan of Mexican cuisine and The Mictlan did not disappoint! The menu was extensive and everything sounded so good. I ultimately went for the steak tacos. They arrived quickly but didn’t quite meet my expectations. While the flavors were good, I expected a bit more seasoning from the meat. Service was quick and attentive, which was appreciated. " (*Curated Review*)

" Overall, I had a decent experience. The Mictlan has a charming atmosphere and decor. The food was good, though not spectacular. The tacos I ordered were tasty but left me wanting more from the dish. The service was quite quick, which I appreciated. If you're looking for solid Mexican food, I would say this is a good option.
