Don't let the renovated pizza hut fool you, this is a really good Mexican restaurant in an area that already has a bunch of Mexican options. If Mestiza is always as good as they were today, they won't have any trouble competing. Everything was delicious, especially the carne asada. The staff was very attentive and generous. Angel, one of the owners spent a lot of time with us answering all of our questions and making great recommendations. We WILL be back! Oh, and Angel told us about their other restaurant in West County that is a little more high end. Adding that location to our "must try" list. Thank you Angel! read more

My wife and I went here for date night. We both really enjoyed the experience. And the food and drinks were amazing! We loved the guacamole with the chicharrones! The tacos were great too! And the folks working went out of their way to ensure we had a great evening. We will definitely be back. read more

Everything about this place is excellent. Friendly owner, always kind and engaging with my family. But the food is what keeps us coming back. Get the guac - fresh chips and chicharons. Yum. Plus, the little tasty stuffed tostada with assortment of salsas. And I always get the flauta de papas. Always. Usually, I drive my one kiddo there, so I don't have the adult beverages. But once, I had the apasionada, and it was incredible. Top three cocktails for me. Can't wait to go back! read more

Stumbled across this gem of a hidden treasure and couldn't have been happier that we did. We were given a steamed potato taco to start with and assortment of four hot sauces, chopped cilantro and red onion...perfection. The margaritas are fresh and served in the cutest ceramic jugs, zero complaints. Next was the guacamole with chips and chicharrones-- chefs kiss. We had a few different tacos, all were just spectacular. We will absolutely be back!!! read more

Wow! This place is taco-fire. Every part of my experience was top notch. I appreciated the simple menu, the friendly service, the spotless restaurant and the very fresh, perfectly executed tacos. I got the guacamole appetizer which was delicious to snack on and left plenty to top off on my tacos. The potato flauta was probably my favorite, but everything I ordered was great! read more

Delicious. Excellent food quality, lovely hospitality. All dishes were flavorful and the proteins were well seasoned. Walk up and order, take a seat and food will be carried to your table. Didn't love the esquites because of corn texture but the seasoning was there. You should eat here. read more

Mestiza - Tacos y guacamole - Mexican Near Me - St. Louis, Missouri

YO WHAT IS THIS SORCERY??? Best Mexican food I've ever had in the city my goodnessssssss. I have been craving this place everyday since we went and I truly can't stop thinking about it. You order at the front, and then take your seat, and you are promptly greeted by a server with water, and we also got a complementary potato taco app!!! This was also one of those places where I ended up eating my food too fast to take a proper photos of my tacos but my favorite one was the carne asada and del trompo! The guacamole is really the main star for me, holy smokes! Best guacamole I've ever had. Overall the inside is very spacious and relaxing and doesn't feel overstimulating like a lot of Mexican places can be for me. The service was insanely fast too- we were only here for 30 minutes total and we joked that it took us longer to drive there and back than it did to eat! We will be back! read more

Another South City gem! Delicious tacos, speedy and friendly service, and a vibrant atmosphere that transports you from Hampton to Mexico. Highly recommend the margaritas (made from scratch, not a sugary mix!), flautas and birria tacos in particular -- can't wait to go back to try more! read more

St. Louis is filled with great taquerias and Mestiza belongs on the list. Ate there recently, had a few tacos, along with the guacamole. They also brought a free taco de papa (not fried) along with their various salsas as samplers. Everything was delish. Service was very quick, and the place has a family-run restaurant vibe, which is a good thing. read more

Got pick up from here and the tacos were incredible! They also provided ample yummy sauces.

Service fantastic great quality food and a warm atmosphere. Everything I tried was amazing.

So tonight with the rain we decided to stay in the neighborhood and to try Mestiza and are we so glad we did! The restaurant is super clean, comfortable, colorful. The staff is super friendly and very informative and you tell they are happy to be there as well looking forward to serving you. They serve strictly tacos, again let me say it, tacos only....so no sides of rice or sides of. beans or even chips and salsa here.... Just tacos period. The menu on their website doesn't truly show how many different tacos and variations they serve, but don't worry, their staff are more than happy to help you out with your selections. No chips you say?!?!? No salsa!?!?!? No way!!!!! Calm down and just hear me out. Their different tacos, and trust me, again they offer A LOT of tacos options which took us back to our first trip to Mexico at our first bite! If you look at my pictures they start you off with a complimentary fried potato based taco with was outstanding in texture and flavor! When our tacos came out the meat in each was flavorful and moist! One of my taco's came with rice and sliced boiled egg which I had seen on previous trips to Mexico, but had never tried. When I bit into that taco I couldn't believe how a slice of boiled egg would add so much depth of flavor to a simple taco! My other tacos were all flavorful and filling as well, from the al pastor to the fried rolled up one with grated cheese and crema! They offer 5 sauces, left to right on the picture ranging from mild to spicy, along with Chopped cilantro & onion, and fresh lime slices. Find one you like better than the others then they gladly will bring you out more! Cantaritos! Their drinks are all made with fresh squeezed juice and you can tell the quality it adds to your drinks! Our Margarita had a dried slice of lime which added a fantastic deeper flavor to the drink! Mestiza is not only a great place to take that "Special Someone" in your life to teaming up with your best friends for great food, great drinks and great times! read more

Best guac, tacos and margs! We love this place! Authentic Mexican cuisine with a limited menu so do not expect your typical american-mexican with free chips and salsa. This is the real deal! Del Trompo is our favorite! read more

This is without question my favorite restaurant in STL. Angel is so kind and so welcoming to everyone who steps in the door! The food quality is consistent, and it's undoubtedly one of the best authentic Mexican spots in the city. They also have really great vegetarian alternatives -- the potato flauta and hibiscus tacos are INSANE. If you like spice, ask for the spicy habanero salsa. It's amazing. Their cocktails are pretty great, too. Honestly I just can't say enough good things about Mestiza. I would eat here every day if I could. read more

I found out about Mestiza from a TikTok made by camillaacrosstheborder. Who's a Mexican born and raised woman who lives in Saint Louis. As someone who's from Saint Louis, but grew up in LA, I trust someone from Mexico who says the food is great. In fact she said she had been gate keeping them.... Well the secret is out. I went in the late afternoon on a Sunday. We ordered the chicharrones with guacamole and tostada (a simple fried and spiced tortilla), esquites, black bean frijoles, potato flautas with creama and queso fresco, a trompopo taco, a hibiscus al pastor taco, a carnitas taco, and two cocktails. The Apasionata and the Jamaizcal. The service was fantastic. We were brought out small fresh potato tacos with a tray of salsas to start (just as an amuse bouche). Delightful. The guacamole and chicharrones was delicious. Fresh and tasty. I enjoyed everything I ate so much. The owner came by to check on us. He was so kind and friendly. I've been looking for a place to get incredible Mexican food, that's authentic and decently priced. I'm so so glad I found Mestiza!!!!! read more
