What a great place. Everything seemed foreign and unknown, but we asked Adriana for recommendations and she nailed it! She is very knowledgeable and friendly. Food was delicious and unique, we have tried new flavours for the first. Additionally, if you are a margarita cocktail fan, this is a place to be! Very wide and brilliant selection of margaritas and other in-house cocktails.

Lovely dinner here. The portions were huge - very glad I could share a delicious dessert with my friend. Lots of tasty cocktails- only wish I could have stayed longer to try more. Staff are super super friendly and made my visit very enjoyable.

1st visit today - really different and exciting Mexican food. Traditional dishes we had never come across before. Helpful staff - very happy to explain items on the menu. Great cocktails - I love a classic Margarita and theirs was excellent. Really recommend this restaurant - advise booking as it was very busy.

Well this is about as genuine Mexican as you can get outside Mexico. They have 5 restaurants (3 in Mexico and 2 in London). I had CREPAS DE FLOR DE CALABAZA which is a very unusual (but delicious) dish, but the sharing tacos and other dishes were also great. You need to order guacamole separately for the nachos! Good selection of Mexican food and drink all round. We had Mescal, beer and margaritas. Beware of the Margarita pitcher - it's quite expensive at around 50 but has a very large amount of Tequila in the mix - too much for two! Recommended.

Best Mexican restaurant we've been to in Lincoln, hands down. The food was excellent, the atmosphere was lively, and the service was good. The taco tray was tasty and came in a decent portion. The margaritas were strong and flavourful. We'll definitely be back.

Mestizo Mestizo Mestizo, it did not disappoint at all. Had heard about this restaurant many times before, and with my love of Mexican food (authentic Mexican food may I add), I decided to visit with a friends to celebrate my friends birthday. The service, the food, the cocktails (with the caramel chilli lollipop & Watermelon chilli lollipop - Yes I had 2) were amazing! The dessert wow wow wow, on par with the food which is rare for most restaurants. Atmosphere loved it 10/10! Planning next visit already with another group :-)

Amazing food, service and atmosphere! The staff are absolutely lovely and made sure we were topped up and looked after. Adriana gave us amazing recommendations. Would highly recommend the Pastel 3 leches for dessert. Most definitely will be coming back here. Thank you so much!!
