    Receipt to verify purchase

    I am in absolute shock at how horrendous the food was that we received. It was our first and last visit. The pork in the el pastor tacos was grey and chewy--completely inedible. The refried beans were liquid and resemblant of something from a sick baby's diaper. Chips were stale. Cheese enchiladas had a rubbery cheese inside. The "queso" appeared to be made of an imitation velveeta. I didn't take any pictures and immediately returned our bag of food to the restaurant. I hate to hurt a small business with a review like this, but this was a complete disappointment and waste of my time and money. We were even charged additionally for the 'to-go' containers.

    Not at all spicy,  spicy shrimp.

    Chips were stale. Salsa came out of a jug of Ortega. Guacamole was from a Sysco bucket. These things made me very sad. He got the Mexican spicy shrimp. Wasnt spicy. At all. I got the columbian mountain plate which was good. But if you want killer chiccarone, go to Rancho Typico in Lowell.

    Their Sopa Azteca is fantastic. Great portions. Also love their Carne Asada. Highly recommend it especially for the prices.

    After the epic failure of a meal earlier in the day, I had to find something to remedy the taste…read morebuds. As I began to drive back towards Boston, I searched for possible options along the way that were recommended restaurant stops for their food quality. This Colombian restaurant popped up on the list and immediately beckoned a slight detour to visit. As New England states are so tiny compared to the West Coast, it wasn't long before I exited the freeway and parked along the street outside Panela. While the restaurant had a large space (noticed later there was a dance floor) and an almost equally large bar area, there were only a couple patrons that day - nursing their beers and quietly chatting. Service was fast and prompt and menus were on the table before I even sat down. Water showed up shortly before I was given a little more time to peruse the menu. It was an interesting menu and well thought out. I had no idea what to order so I just followed my gut on what I felt like gorging on (and was glad I did). I won't go much into dissecting each dish. But I can tell you that the flavors were balanced and pleasant. Each bite beckoned more until the plate was empty. I couldn't stop myself. I had to keep going on everything disappeared from the table. It's one of those times that you're not claiming a dish to be perfect in whatever culinary pedigree BUT that it's so balanced in flavor that your palate is tickled in all forms. It was a tongue-gasmic moment and immediately remedied the most boring meal on earth that I just had earlier today. PS. Researched the background of the restaurant later on. Now everything makes sense. I applaud your need to create and represent. Cheers.

    This was the last place I remember enjoying a meal so much that I wish I could go back again and…read moreagain. It was back in 2022 and the last time my sister brother and I were together to enjoy a meal out with our mother as a family. I am craving those Nachos and the carefully prepared fish with Julian vegetables and the amazing sweet and sour lemony sauce.

    I don't leave Yelp reviews often because honestly most places are somewhere between "pretty good"…read moreand "fine." But I had to break the silence for this one. I've been searching for legitimately good Mexican food around Boston for YEARS. Having family in Mexico ruined me in the best way possible because now my standards are absurdly high. Most places get a polite "yeah it was decent." Not this place. Holy $hit...Mestiza absolutely blew my mind. The birria tacos were the best I've ever had. Ever. Not "best in Boston." Not "best lately." I mean if these tacos and I got married tomorrow my wife would probably understand. The steak tacos? Unreal. The al pastor? Illegal levels of good. Everything tasted like the kitchen was personally trying to change my life. And the staff was awesome too. Super friendly, welcoming, and somehow patient while I sat there contemplating ordering a second full meal immediately after finishing the first one. This is the first restaurant in years where I walked out thinking, "well...food will never be the same again." Do not overthink this. Stop reading reviews. Just go now before I buy the place and keep it for myself.

    I was in the Lowell area & recently found out about Mestiza. After reading their story & seeing…read morethat they opened just about two months ago, I knew I had to go support this business. I was immediately greeted by Luisa & her husband, Chef Mario. Looking over the menu, I wanted to order everything but had to narrow it down. I started with the revuelta & birria pupusas, which are made fresh every day--you should have seen the cheese pull! Next, I had the chicken taco on a freshly pressed handmade tortilla. The star of the show was the best enchiladas I've ever had. The tortillas were incredibly fresh, stuffed with slow-braised beef ribs. There was a hint of sweetness that made me fall in love, especially when paired with their homemade hot sauce. I finished with the tastiest tres leches cake. I wish Luisa & Chef Mario all the success in the world. If you're in Lowell, please stop in & support them you won't be disappointed. They don't serve alcohol, but it's BYOB!
