Mestizo Modern Mexican
About
Mestizo Modern Mexican brings the flavors of Oaxaca to Cambridge, pairing authentic cooking rooted in its Oaxacan heritage with a modern twist. The kitchen’s approach is to mix and remix flavors, ingredients and cultures, so the menu offers familiar Mexican dishes alongside new ones meant to become a diner’s next favorite. The restaurant describes its modern take on Oaxacan cuisine as bright, bold and unexpected.
The restaurant’s signature ritual is the Salsa Fresca Experience, in which salsa is prepared at the table and made just for the guests who order it. The recipe combines roasted tomatoes, green tomatillos, roasted garlic, cilantro, onions and fresh lime juice. Located right in the heart of Kendall Square, Mestizo describes its venue as unique and its Oaxacan cooking as a crowd-pleaser.
