MESTIZO is the concept of a group of Mexicans to bring to London a restaurant-bar offering a fine and authentic Mexican cuisine. The name MESTIZO suggests "mezcla" or "fusion", a term that was utilised principally to designate the descendents of indigenous Mexicans with Spaniards. Our mission at MESTIZO is to bring to London the best that Mexican food has to offer.

Ended up here after a long work week, and had such a great time. The energy was buzzing- lots of birthdays, in which they loudly celebrate. We got nachos and the taco sharing board, as well as margaritas. All were tasty! Service was a little slow but feel like they pretty standard in Europe, compared to the states :)
Overall would recommendHelpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Dec 2, 2023Previous reviewThoroughly enjoyed our meal! We started with the nachos and some margaritas, and then got a shared taco platter. It was fun that you could mix and match and create your own tacos. Everything was delicious and flavorful. The only thing that I think they could approve was service, it was a bit slow. Regardless, definitely recommend!

Terrible service. Sat for 15 minutes without a menu or any contact with a server. Food was room temperature, and was mid. We also only got half of our food and by the time we got the rest we were done eating. The dessert was also mid. And after we paid they made us leave right away to set up a new table (which was the quickest thing they did all night).

The achiote in the Mayan sauce is AMAZING and would taste good with almost anything. The sopa de tortilla (tortilla soup) was flavorful as well, but it was served like warm. The service is decent and the restaurant has plenty if room for seating. The staff is friendly and mostly comprised of Spanish-speakers. They are more than happy to translate or explain anything menu-related to you.

Even though the website doesn't advertise it I walked in to see if I could order some food for take away and the staff were more than happy to help me. The staff recommended the carnitas tacos which came with 4 and were amazing. They came with fresh cilantro and onion and salsa verde and fresh tortillas

Authentic Mexican food and worth the visit. My favorite was the enchiladas de mole. I missed real Mexican food.

Great vibes in the downstairs for reggaeton music. It gets packed and a bit expensive cover fee (30 pounds after 8pm), other than that was a good time!

Good Mexican seems hard to come by in London. Two of us showed up and were asked if we had a reservation, and were told that it would be over a 2 hour wait for a table, but that we could sit at the bar without waiting. We sat at the bar, even though the bar stools were half the height that they needed to be to have any semblance of comfort - evidently it was our only reasonable choice. As we hung out, had drinks and dinner over a 2 hour period, I took note that there were at least 5 available tables the entire time we occupied the venue sitting in discomfort. The food and drinks were good by comparison to other London attempts at Mexican fare, but paled in comparison to what would be par for the course in the US. This joint would qualify as average at best, although I might be apt to grade on more of a curve had we actually been allowed to sit more comfortably at one of the 4 or 5 vacant tables that tormented us as we sat like a child in a too short stool with the table at the height of our necks. Anxious to get back to the US where we have diverse cuisine options that put the UK to shame.

The Spanish etiquette is primo. Visiting from SoCal, especially from a Hispanic family, Mestizo helped with some savory dishes that were reminiscent of home. The staff were courteous, funny, and helpful. The price is def $$$ but it is well worth the stop, especially in Camden Town.
