Food tasted excellent but disappointed with the portion sizes. Service was prompt but food took some time getting out of the kitchen. Overall enjoyed the experience.

This was our first visit to Mestizo. We will be going back. It was an unusual evening; major traffic gridlock all over Boston and Cambridge because of red line shutdown and very cold, windy rainstorm. I believe these factors reduced the number of customers, perhaps making the restaurant quieter and less crowded. Service was excellent, quick and attentive. I was not familiar with Oaxacan cuisine but I liked it a lot and will be going back on a more “normal” evening. Decor was bright and cheerful.
