Mestizo Launches Restaurant & Margarita Bar in Chelsea
Bringing the very best of authentic Mexican cuisine to Londoners
September 2022: Following the success of their popular Camden restaurant & bar, which opened in 2005, the team behind Mestizo announce the launch of a second site in Chelsea.
The concept of a group of Mexicans who wanted to bring fine and authentic Mexican cuisine to London, Mestizo offers vibrant, diverse, colourful and delicious gastronomy. Due to the success of the original Mestizo restaurant and the shop in Camden the decision was made to expand into other areas of London, and a lack of traditional Mexican food was observed in Chelsea.
The menu is truly authentic. Start with Mexican Tapas “Antojitos’ or some fresh Ceviche. The popular Taco Tray is great for sharing, with a range of fillings to build your own concoction. Main dishes include well known traditional dishes and some you might not know.
The Margarita Bar is headed up by the extremely talented ‘Cocktail Witch’, Aima Indigo, who has curated a truly bespoke tequila based menu, including her favourite flavours including Hibiscus, Lavender, Mole and Lychee. Expect true classics mixed with some of London’s most extraordinary takes on a Margarita!
Roberto Alvarado opened his first restaurant in Mexico in 1974 with the renowned ‘Grupo Anderson’. Around 25 years ago he came to Europe, bringing Mexican cuisine, traditions and culture with him. Mestizo has been open in Madrid for 14 years and London for 17 years, and the restaurants are proudly managed by family members.
Roberto’s son Carlos, who will manage the Chelsea restaurant, comments: “After years of experience in the European market, and with the recent changes in the hospitality industry, we saw an opportunity for a refresh and want to combine the culture, traditions and entertainment Mestizo has always offered with a new approach led by the next generation of our family. Our new opening in Chelsea is the culmination of years of work with a fresh, new generation to take it forward.”
Mestizo caters for all dietary requirements with gluten free, vegan, dairy free and nut free menus.
