    Mestizo brings modern Oaxacan food to Cambridge. Mestizo’s passionate spirit, vibrant food, and strong family roots will leave you with a memorable experience driven by a mix of old and new flavors. Influences will change from dish to dish with some distinctly driven by Oaxaca heritage, while others will have clearer origins in other Mexican or even Spanish regions. This isn’t your typical Mexican restaurant but you will find some familiar dishes and flavors that will allow you to feel at home while still exploring something new and finding your NEXT favorite foods. Mestizo is about mixing and remixing flavors, ingredients, and cultures. It’s not about rigidly adhering to one particular place or time.
