For MikroTik to MikroTik there are much better VPNs than OpenVPN. I would recommend L2TP and you can add IPSec if you need the extra security or SSTP. Post /export from each of your devices so we can better see the problem. It may not be in your routes, it could be in your firewall or something else.
