We love Mestizo. The fact that the entire restaurant is gluten-free is a game-changer for us, allowing us to dine family-style and share a variety of dishes without worry. We’ve practically sampled the entire menu by now, and each visit introduces us to something delightful. My personal favorites include the refreshing shrimp ceviche, the flavorful elote, the hearty carne asada bowl, and the delicious flan. The quality of ingredients and the care put into each dish truly shine, making Mestizo a standout choice for anyone, whether gluten-free or not!

This was my family’s first time eating at Mestizo and we were not disappointed. I have Celiac and my daughter has a severe dairy intolerance. For once, all 3 of us were able to order several dishes to SHARE! This never happens at restaurants with our many dietary restrictions. My non-GF/DF husband loved everything, too. Note: the entire restaurant is 100% gluten free and Celiac safe, but there is dairy present in some of the dishes. However, it was very easy for them to accommodate us by taking an ingredient off, etc. Our favorites were the fried shrimp, elote, fish tacos, and the chicken tinga tostados. The drinks were also amazing. The waitstaff is attentive and kind and our food came out super fast, but still incredibly fresh. The flavors are what put this restaurant over the top for me. Everything had a very specific (delicious) flavor that made the dish special. Do NOT miss out on the GF gem! (I suggest getting a reservation for weekend nights and possibly even weekday night.) My family and I cannot wait to go back!

Mestizo is great! Everything is safe. I can’t go there without getting at least 1, maybe 2 orders of the Sweet Corn and Queso Empanadas. YUM! My vegetarian daughter and her husband love it there. Everyone can find something they love, no matter their dietary restrictions.

We found ourselves feeling hungry not too long after eating here unfortunately. Overall, the food was great and very celiac friendly!

Easily one of the best dedicated GF restaurants I’ve been to. I’ve tried half the menu and loved everything, and it fills a neat niche of being affordable enough for casual meals (esp. their rice bowl and amazing rice pilaf) or a fancy high-end treat depending on what you order.

Highly recommend, even if it’s just for take-out!

I was hoping to love this place but had a bad experience. The waitress was in a bad mood to say the least. The food tasted like they put ketchup all over the ceviche. We only ordered shared items and no main courses. Nothing I would order again. We want to try it out another time and I will update my review if necessary. Hoping it was just a bad night.

So so happy with this place! Dedicated gluten and soy free, with lots of dairy free options as well! We tried several dishes and hands down, the empanadas were the best! They even had horchata made with coconut milk, which was delicious! Everything is made from scratch and is as locally sourced as possible. Wish I’d had enough room to try more dishes.

Second visit toda, for take out. Ordering online is super easy and pick up was a breeze. Had the grilled shrimp pineapple ceviche with fried plantain chips and it was amazing (next time I'm ordering a second side of the plantains to eat later, they're so good).

First visit last year was indoors and I tried several things on the menu--would definitely do sauce on the side for tacos and bowls, but everything was lovely and they very sweetly brought out a flan for my birthday. The beyond meat empanadas and breaded oysters were definitely stand outs!

Support these beautiful folks! Love having a creative all GF restaurant nearby!

The whole place is dedicated gluten-free, so this is a great place to enjoy some fried delicacies that you can't find elsewhere. The fried banana flower tacos and fried oysters were my favorites. Definitely ordered (and ate) way too much food, but everything was delicious and safe. Can't beat that!
