Very close to Mexican experience.. simple but beautiful decor.. food is amazing and has proper Mexican flavour.. must try if you fancy this cuisine ..
I went to Mestizo with my family for a lunch when I was amazed to see such a good and authentic restaurant.
Some of the best dishes were corn tortillas and enchiladas.
Just loved this place and would highly recommend you guys to over here.
Great restaurant, with great food . One of the best Mexicans restaurants in London. Highly recommended this one . The food is so flavorful! They have a
Lot of traditional plates !

I searched for good Mexican food around me to find this place on Google. I was expecting a great amount of satisfaction from this. Eventually, I was not very satisfied with the food, primarily because of the quantity of the food they served for the price they charge. Also, after trying out many Mexican restaurants in the United States, I feel they are a notch higher in terms of the food, be it taste, or the quantity.
It was a couple of us visiting here and for starters we ordered the Mixed Tapas platter of which, the Tamales were my favourite. The next best was Flautas, which is chicken wrapped in tortilla and deep friend and then topped with lettuce.
The second dish was the Quesedilla which I asked them to make it a black bean cheese Quesedilla. The mozerella cheese used became rubbery pretty fast, although I did like the dish overall.
For the mains, we ordered the Enchiladas with Potato and cheese (loaded with carbs 😛). Although I did like it, it was a little on the sweeter side and I prefer spicy food.
One thing I did not like about them is that they charged for serving sauces. I basically asked for spicy salsa sause, which is served on the table as much as needed in a Mexican restaurant, and they charged for it.
I would recommend it as a one time visit for sure and you might end up liking it.
This place was my sunday brunch solution as they serve amazing corn tortilas and enchilades, stole my heart and the Mestizo gives out amazing food
I was really excited to try this place, but they didn't answer the phone to change our booking, so we never went. I do still really want to try it though :(

Really solid Mexican place. Came recommended by a Mexican friend and I understand why. Great porco pilbil, and the house speciality for 2 is savoury and more. For me, a good quality indicator is the tortillas. If your basic components are great, the dishes tend to excel. The tortillas are great their own. Now, pardon while I get on with assembling more tacos for my own delight.
Love this place!! Never disappoints; people working there are lovely, lots to meals choose from, food arrives quickly and really cheap considering it's a restaurant in central London. Me and my boyfriend had an amazing lunch and paid just about £15
A few weeks ago I was invited to a Mexican restaurant called Mestizo in North London, for an evening of tequila and food pairing. Tequila seems to have a bit of a ‘Marmite’ appeal in the UK, most likely because us Brits like to knock back the shots, which I think has potentially cheapened what is a high quality and traditional spirit. That said, I didn’t know a huge amount about tequila, so I was keen to learn more. And having the largest selection on display in the UK (260+ and counting), Mestizo seemed like a good place to do this!
Authentic and excellent Mexican food in London. It's a simple place with friendly service.
We started with the flautas and the guacamole. The guacamole was fresh and yum and the flautas were perfectly crunchy and tasteful.
For the mains we got the chicken mole enchiladas, the vegetarian and chicken bowls. The chicken mole is made with 25 ingredients one of them being chocolate. I was a bit hesitant but was pleasantly surprised with how good it was. The bowls were huge and can easily feed 3 people.
It's a great place for vegetarians as they have a separate menu for it.
Highly recommended.

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!
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.

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.
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!
Good food, fair portions and a lot of variety (tacos, enchiladas, drinks, etc). Great vegetarian and vegan options. Pricey but makes sense with its location. Would be good for a party or large group with its aesthetic and regular events.
Best Mexican food I’ve ever had. Excellent dessert and margaritas! The taco tray is a must. Went there a few times with Mexican colleagues. They said this is the most authentic place they’ve had. Never disappointed!
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.
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!
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.
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.
