Visiting London and we knew we had to come back here (visited for the first time back in 2022). It took forever for a true, authentic Mexican restaurant to appear in London, but this is it! (We’re from Tucson, Arizona. Trust us, we know.) Everything we’ve had here tastes just as good as if we had it at home. This time we started with a couple of margaritas and some nachos, and then had the shared taco platter as the main course. Delicious! All of the meats are prepared authentically with the right seasonings and spices. So nice to get a small taste of home while abroad! Beyond the food, the decor and ambience is great, it’s very lively, though not so loud that you can’t have a conversation, and the place is always packed with people enjoying their meals. We highly recommend Mestizo - but make sure you make a reservation!

Friendly, professional and helpful. Interesting and innovative food, fun decor. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit. Thank you. Only slight niggle - washroom cleaning, needs closer attention.

We had booked a table for 3 on a Friday night. The food was mixed, the prawn tacos were excellent, however the chorizo nachos were unfortunately soft and soggy. Cocktails were excellent. The reason for the slighter lower rating was the fact that we had to leave as soon as we finished the food as the table was booked. Shame as we reslly enjoyed the ambiance and the place.
