One Day in London

Qype: Mestizo in London

London - Eating & Drinking - Restaurants - Mexican

Oh wow! I am usually sparing with my allocation of 5 stars, but if I had a sixth star to give, it would be all Mesizo’s.

In an unassuming location just a few moments away from Euston, I knew I was in for a treat the moment I stepped in the door. Not only were the hostesses and servers SO FRIENDLY, but they were also Mexican! When asking one of our servers about the spice level of a dish before ordering (is it flaming hot? will it make us cry?) she laughed and said, “well, I’m Mexican so I think it’s all relative…” SCORE!

After a particularly challenging work week, I decided to go all out and order a Cadillac Margarita with Patron Silver and I have to say that it was the most amazing margarita I’ve had outside of Mexico or Southern California. Mestizo boasts 150 different varieties of tequila and I’ll definitely be back to sample some more.

The starter of guacamole was a delight - perfectly seasoned with plenty of chips. My carnitas tacos melted in my mouth and the chicken mole that my partner had was equally delicious.

For dessert, I decided to go with buñuelos, a crispy fried dough with cinnamon and caramel sauce…again something I haven’t seen outside of Mexico and my home state. As if they were trying to outdo themselves, my dessert arrived and was a literal symphony of one fantastic flavor after the next. The whole thing was perfect.

I will come back to Mestizo again and again and couldn’t recommend it highly enough! I think my stomach is still smiling!
