The building is not much to look at, and Hampstead Rd hardly provides an attractive location, but inside this is a well-appointed square room, with a bar and service area at the back, and nicely laid out, some smaller tables near the front and the windows, with larger tables towards the back. At 5:30pm on a Saturday it is very quiet, but fills up quickly, meaning reservations would probably be necessary in the evening. When [[Ewan]] visited, we had trouble getting through on the phone line but showed up in person and were able to get a table until 8pm, which suited us fine.

The menu is divided into the 'antojitos' (small dishes, like tapas) and 'los tacos' (two corn tortillas with a range of fillings) on the first page, then main dishes on the following pages. [[Ewan]] and friend shared a couple of antojitos and a couple of the tacos, and found this suitably filling.

All tables come with small bowls of crispy tortilla chips and a spicy dipping sauce on arrival. Our order of guacamole (£5.50) was a large plate loaded with more of the tortilla chips and a very tasty freshly-made avocado dip in the middle. The tamales of 'pollo con mole' (£5.40) were also lovely, wrapped up in corn husks and steamed, producing a spongy, tasty snack. Tacos were also excellent, with the filling laid neatly over the two tortillas, and a side of salsa on each plate.

To drink we shared a two-pint jug of the house margarita (£26), nicely frozen and certainly not disappointing. The dessert menu is far more basic, but my friend's flan received high praise, while [[Ewan]] had a crispy pancake-like dessert drizzled with sugar syrup, which was simple but satisfying.

Mexican place near Euston Station.

Damon says: Mestizo offers very good quality, authentic Mexican food at a reasonable price. It's the best I've had in London so far. They also have good margaritas.
