How Mestiza Celebrates the Cultural Roots of Latin Cuisine


At Mestiza, located in the heart of Polanco, cuisine is much more than just a combination of ingredients; it is a celebration of the rich and diverse cultural heritage of Latin America. Each dish on our menu tells a story, inspired by ancestral traditions passed down through generations, taking us deep into our roots. Here’s how Mestiza honors the culture and authentic flavors of Latin cuisine, while reinventing them for the modern world.


A Journey Through the Culinary History of Latin America


Latin American cuisine is the result of centuries of cultural exchanges between indigenous civilizations, European colonizers, African slaves, and Asian migrants. This unique blend of cultures has created a vibrant and diverse gastronomy that captures the essence of each country and region.


At Mestiza, every dish is an invitation to explore these rich traditions. From the use of local ingredients, such as corn and ají, to the adoption of culinary techniques that reflect European and Asian influences, we strive to offer a culinary experience that not only delights the palate but also tells a story about the cultural evolution of Latin America.

Dishes that Pay Tribute to Our Roots


Our chefs have drawn inspiration from the region’s most iconic flavors to create a menu that honors both the traditional and the contemporary. The Tacos de Costra de Filete combine the best of Mexican cuisine with a modern twist, while the Risotto with Roasted Bone Marrow and Mushrooms reinterprets native ingredients with fine-dining techniques. Each dish reflects the passion and pride we feel for our culinary heritage, but with a twist that invites you to rediscover those flavors in a new light.


Culture Reflected in Every Detail


The celebration of our cultural roots is not only reflected in the food but also in every corner of Mestiza. The handcrafted South American-inspired décor, with details such as pottery, statues, and images evoking ancient Inca and Mayan cultures, complements the dining experience, creating an environment that invites you to immerse yourself in the history and culture of Latin America.


The festive atmosphere at Mestiza is also a reflection of Latin life: joyful music, shared laughter, and a sense of community that reminds us that gastronomy is not just about nourishing the body, but also the soul.


Mixology that Celebrates Diversity


At Mestiza, we don’t just celebrate cultural roots through our dishes but also in our mixology. Our cocktails are inspired by flavors and techniques from various regions of Latin America, using ingredients like tropical fruits, native spices, and iconic spirits such as mezcal and pisco. Each drink is a journey through the region’s flavors, perfectly complementing the dining experience.
