Mestizo
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.
StreetXO in London (review by ElizabethOnFood)
food menu staff ambience drinks desserts quietness
Lunch started in StreetXO's glam cocktail bar which offers a "Liquid Cuisine" cocktail list (�11-�14) featuring extraordinary combinations, such as a liquid Tom Kha Kai cocktail with galanga, coriander, kaffir lime, chilli, flying fish roe, straw mushroom and "infinite coconut" or the "XO Blood" with watermelon, bitter almond, citrus and galange, the latter to be drunk from a�heart replica (the organ, not the symbol!)
Next up was a trilateral Canton, Galicia and Mexico dish (to share): Robata-grilled Galician octopus and squid ink crackers, served with a hallucinogenic�tomatillo and green apple mole (which takes two days to make), and �"fake Chinese wok noodles", I'm guessing a mixture of enoki mushrooms and stir-fried bean sprouts (?)
Winner of the day was robata-grilled pigeon (breast and leg, to share) brilliantly paired with a blood-red sweet achiote sauce and StreetXO's take on the traditional Spanish fried bread crumbs' dish "migas manchegas" aka "migas de pastor" and some lily bulb scales.
Beautifully tender and flavoursome robata-grilled squid, topped with herb pesto, and served with sweet yellow papaya (underneath the squid), chopped peanuts, a sharp green papaya salad (on top), deep-fried basil leaves, some basil and lime cr�me, and finally a�sour and spicy hibiscus dressing made with soy sauce, fish sauce, and dried hibiscus.
Finally we were served four (two each)�"La Pedroche" croquettes, named after David Mu�oz�girlfriend and actress�Christina Pedroche, with a decadently rich filling of sheep's milk and Lapsang Souchong tea, and garnished with�toro tuna and XO sauce.
Restaurant Review: Breakfast At Wahaca | Londonist
food menu staff
Wahaca on Charlotte Street is the latest in London's seemingly endless Mexican restaurant wave.
Less impressive was the breakfast burrito — a heaving flour tortilla stuffed with egg, spinach, cheese and bacon — which was a little bland, requiring liberal dashings of habanero salsa to elicit any kind of response from the taste buds.
Other items on the menu include a breakfast torta (a sandwich made using a hollowed-out brioche bun stuffed with ), "Mexican eggs" (scrambled with onions, chili and refried beans) and baked goods including donuts and banana bread.
Wahaca has competition in the local area, not only from established Mexican fast food places like Benito's Hat and El Burrito, but from the many other restaurants that line Charlotte Street.
Breakfast for two, with two mains, a coffees, an horchata (a rice-based cinnamon flavoured drink), a side of banana bread and service, came to around £18.
