History is littered with facts on Spain's conquest of the New World and what followed is a global empire with diversified, culturally distinct communities which heralded the birth of mestizos, an ethnic mixture of Spanish and native Mexicans in America. Now that account may seem slightly irrelevant to a restaurant in London, but Mestizo truly understands the significance of its name, thereby making it an affable neighbourhood kind of place for Mexicans, Latin Americans and just about anybody who cares to explore the cuisine of the region.

There is a separate menu for antojitos and tacos suitable for sharing, while the á la carte helps you indulge in a gastronomic sojourn to Mexico with choices such as creamed poblano pepper and sweet corn soup. This could be followed by molcajete mestizo, a famous combination of beef, chicken or both, served in a stone bowl with cheese, chorizo, spring onions, cilantro and avocado and your choice of salsa.
