Mestizo is a reflection of the Alvarado family’s roots and the traditions they hold dear. Originally from Mexico, the family spent years running restaurants back home before creating Mestizo in London—a place where they could share their culture and a taste of home. Placed on the King’s Road, Mestizo offers dishes close to their hearts and Mexican tradition, like the volcanic Molcajete bowl and Cuitlacoche (Mexican truffle). All made with recipes passed down through generations. The fresh tortillas, and vibrant salsas are a true celebration of the flavours of Mexico. Stepping into Mestizo feels like walking into a family gathering in Mexico. The warmth of the space invites you to make your own tacos, enjoy tequila or mezcal.

Reviews
I came here with a friend for an early dinner, and making a reservation was an absolute breeze. From the moment we arrived, the experience was fantastic. The restaurant has a beautiful ambience that feels warm and vibrant — it really sets the tone for a great meal.
To start, we ordered the guacamole, which was fresh, flavorful, and the perfect way to kick off the meal. We also enjoyed a classic margarita, which was beautifully prepared and balanced — refreshing and exactly what you want alongside great Mexican food. For our main, we tried the Mestizo specialty dish, and it absolutely delivered on flavor and authenticity.
We finished the evening with Irish coffees, which were freshly brewed and delicious — a perfect, cozy way to wrap up the meal.
I also want to highlight how well the restaurant is maintained — even the bathroom facilities were spotless, which always says a lot about the level of care a place puts into the overall guest experience.
A special shout-out to our server, Daniel, who was attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the evening. And a big thank you to the amazing manager, Cesar, who clearly runs a great operation and makes guests feel very welcome.
Overall, this was a wonderful dining experience from start to finish. I would 10/10 recommend this restaurant and will absolutely be coming back.
Upstairs décor is great, the food was excellent, and the margaritas were fantastic. The sombrero shots were fun, though they came around a bit too often to feel truly special. Overall, a strong turnaround thanks to the staff, and we ended up having a really good night.
DOMIAN, who served us, truly made the evening memorable. He was incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and passionate about the menu. He explained each dish with such detail and enthusiasm that I genuinely wanted to try everything. His recommendations were spot-on, and his approach felt professional yet personal, the kind of service that makes you feel genuinely welcomed rather than rushed.
It’s rare to meet someone who combines expertise, passion, and genuine care for guests the way Damian does. His service elevated the entire dining experience.
I will definitely be coming back and recommending Mestizo to others.
He is a native Mexican and incredibly knowledgeable. He provided perfect recommendations for both food and drinks, making our choices easy and delicious. Daniel was extremely welcoming and made us feel right at home. The complimentary shots were a great finishing touch!
His expertise and passion truly elevated the meal. Ask for Daniel when you visit—he’s fantastic!
To start, we ordered:
– Tamales costeños
– Tostada
– Taco tray
– Queso frito
All were tasty, but our table was overflowing as space was quite tight!
For mains, we chose:
– Mole poblano
– Enchiladas verde
– Enchiladas Cancún
– and more tacos!
As we hadn’t tried Mole before, our waiter suggested bringing us a small sample first, a fantastic gesture to enhance our experience.
Everything was delicious, rich, and clearly authentic. For dessert, I had my heart set on the tres leches cake, but unfortunately they had just served the last one. We opted for the baked cream cheese instead, which was not what I was expecting, but really nice and a pleasant surprise.
Note – there is a market shop opposite where you can get a small discount off the goods when you done at the restaurant – shame I only found out about this after I made a purchase!
We recommend that place and for sure we will be back.
Places like Mestizo make the difference.
The restaurant is very well decorated, charming and perfect ambiance music.
