Mestizo

Really nice Mexican food. More authentic than any I've had in the UK. We had the Taco Tray and Molcajete Mestizo between four of us and it was plenty! The Taco Tray was great, with a number of sides + 4 fillings of choice. We went with the Tinga, Pollo Pibil, Carnitas and Arrachera. The carnitas was my favourite, juicy and yum. The arrachera was a tiny bit tough and dry but still good. I loved being able to mix and match what I wanted. The stand out of our meal was the Molcajete Mestizo though. It was like a cheesy Mexican hotpot of flavour. The cooked soft chorizo in it was so flavourful and tender, unlike any I had tried before. I would definitely recommend it. The spicy sauce that came as a side with it was delicious well. Finally, had the Tres Leches for dessert and was not disappointed. May be too heavy for one person but if you like condensed milk based desserts, this one is for you. The only reason I dropped a star was that the service was a bit brusque. So 4.5 / 5 really. All in all, I'd go back. Next time, tamales.

Super fun venue. To my personal experience, this place has the most authentic Mexican flavours I could find outside of México. I also loved the fact that waiters randomly pick people in the venue, give them a sombrero, candle and tequila shot and and do a really fun and cool "ceremony" that really sparks up the atmosphere in the restaurant.

If you want to try out authentic mexican food, then this place is a must try. It had a brilliant atmosphere and the food was also well priced. For starters we ordered a Tamales costenos - it was yum, very different food texture but felt it was a little dry if you didn't get enough sauce. For mains we ordered a CHILES RELLENOS and this was absolutely delicious, it is a large pepper filled with beef and a fried batter plus rice and black beans. The pepper is not spicy. The ENCHILADAS CANCÚN was also good but I did not love it as much. For dessert we ordered a Pastel 3 leches, and it was absolutely delicious. The texture of this dessert was so good. We only ordered one to share but I definitely will be ordering my own one next time. They have a decent drink menu too, if you fancy a little spice in your drink I would recommend a LEVANTA MUERTOS, this was my favourite drink, it had a little spice to it and it had the perfect quantity. The JALAPEÑO MARGARITA was quite unique to this place I've never seen such a drink anywhere else and would also recommend it. Overall, I would 100% return to try out other dishes in the menu, they take bookings via WhatsApp too!

What a great time at this authentic Mexican restaurant! The atmosphere was warm and joyful and the food was excellent. The flavours were there, portions were generous and I just can't wait to be back to try more of this delicious food. Shout out to Aldo and Daniel who took excellent care of us. Recommend the flautas and the tres leches dessert although I'm sure there's much more to rave about. Gracias!

Incredible Sunday brunch at Mestizo yesterday. I’ve been there several times over the years for parties and regular meals but never for the brunch. A wonderful deal with an amazing range of food and non alcoholic beverages included in the very reasonable price. Highly recommended! Their shop next door is also a gem with hard to find Mexican ingredients in plentiful supply. Thanks for a wonderful meal and great hospitality!

Nice, sit down place with Mexican fare. The chips and guac and salsa was fresh. This is one of the rare places in London that serves chile rellenos, and a vegetarian version at that! So I was quite happy :) their tres leches was ok ok, but the star for me was the relleno! They have some good cocktails as well. Better to reserve a table before going.

We ordered the taco tray for 2 and margaritas to drink. The margaritas were really tasty. Unfortunately the taco tray left a lot to be desired, a lot of the pots on the tray (onion, cilantro) looked like they'd been prepared days ago and weren't fresh. I lived in Mexico for years and was disappointed to have to ask for limes to go with the tacos. Overall I think the food was overpriced and could be improved, although it was authentic. I can't fault the service at all and it was lovely to speak Spanish to the staff.

This restaurant oozes with authenticity. From the supermarket next door, to the staff, to the decor and importantly to the food. There is lots of choice on the menu, and all meat is halal. My main was extremely flavoursome and had just the perfect amount of spice (I’m normally quite intolerant of it!). The churros were also very tasty, and again - a good portion size! The portion sizes were excellent - I left feeling truly satisfied with the meal. Staff all speak Spanish, but don’t all speak English - although there was someone to help them if we had any questions. Service was friendly and our waiter explained everything very clearly to us and ensured we were happy. The only small improvement was that the air conditioning was on quite strong and facing directly onto the centre of the restaurant, giving quite a chill breeze throughout - we had to put our coats on! Would definitely recommend.
