Mestizo
About
Mestizo is a casual Mexican restaurant in Cambridge whose kitchen is driven by Oaxacan heritage. The menu includes familiar dishes such as tacos and enchiladas, along with a modern take on Oaxacan cooking that mixes and remixes flavors, ingredients and cultures. The idea is to give diners dishes they already know while encouraging them to explore something new, with bright, bold and sometimes unexpected flavors.
A signature feature is the Salsa Fresca Experience, in which salsa is prepared tableside and made just for the guests ordering it. It combines roasted tomatoes, green tomatillos, roasted garlic, cilantro, onions and fresh lime juice, and it is served with totopos, or tortilla chips. The restaurant sits right in the heart of Kendall Square and describes its Oaxacan cooking as a crowd-pleaser.
