Friends brought Mestizo's chicken and pork tamales from Wheatridge, oh wow, best tamales we've ever had! The masa had a creamy fine texture. Phone order. read more

What a cool spot! Great patio and garage doors from the inside - decorated with cute Mexican vases and cacti. A couple beers on tap (there usually is more) and an authentic Latin menu! We had to look up some items because we had not heard of them before. Fun to experience something so unique! read more

This was a truly awful experience. We waited over an hour to get food and it was cold and raw. There was zero seasoning and the rice and beans were served in tiny salsa ramekins for $4 a piece. They said the raw dish would be comped and that didn't happen. Our bill was $60 for 3 tacos, rice, beans, one soda and one beer. The beer was flat. We witnessed multiple tables send food back or ask why it was taking so long. Honestly I wasn't angry, I was deeply sad. read more

Ahh this place is so great! Their menu is interesting enough to make you want to try different things, but not too unique where you don't know what things are. Staff was so friendly and food came out not too long after we ordered! We sat on the patio and the chairs weren't that comfortable but I don't care because the food was so good. I will definitely be back for happy hour drinks! read more

With just a few adjustments, this review can pivot from 3 to 5 stars. There are so many cool things about Mestizo Brew Cantina. Let's talk the good stuff first: cozy place where you feel at home. I love the bright colors, all the plants, indoor and outdoor seating areas and when we were there, the live music. The staff were friendly and on point with service and taking care of folks. The drinks were really good as well. I loved my Paloma, not too limey or sweet. His Coin marg was also tasty. And we spied some really good looking house made sangria. What needed some edits? The food. We had the beef birria, so full disclosure didn't sample a lot from the menu. The birria was bland and needed some seasoning, def more salt. It was meh for us. We were sad, lol. The chips and salsa were solid, but for us both the birria bumped the rating down. The bright side? This is an easy fix. Fingers crossed management is reading this. read more

Amazing Birria Tacos & Outstanding Service! I stumbled upon Mestizo Brew Cantina while waiting for work at my mechanic across the street -- and I'm so glad I did! I came in for a bite and was so impressed that I came back the very next day. The birria tacos are absolutely delicious -- rich, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. I could say the same thing about the carnitas tacos. You can tell they take real pride in the food margaritas and beers here. What really stood out, though, was the service. Both times, my server Ana took amazing care of me. She was attentive, friendly, and made sure everything was just right -- definitely above par! It's rare to find that kind of consistent, genuine service. If you're passing through the area or just looking for a spot to grab great tacos and drinks, I highly recommend Mestizo Brew Cantina. I'll definitely be back! read more

Great tacos and fresh brews, in house. The Carnitas tacos were stuffed with tender pulled pork. I could go on but if you're in Denver, look them up. read more

Be open when you say you are going to be. I came by for a beer and lunch. It has always been good. No one was there. I knocked. I called. Sign said open a 12 I was the at 1:40. read more

I wouldn't come here for the food. They take forever to bring the food out. We waited for over 40 mins and just decided to leave because it's no longer worth it. read more

New place, had to try. The folks here are pleasant and make you feel at home. We popped in for some food and brews and it was a good date night. We wanted to try many things so we ordered Pupusa - El Salvadoran corn tortilla stuffed with cheese, grilled and then topped with slaw and salsa; Llapingachos - Ecuadorian potato and cheese cakes with red onion escabeche, tomatoes and salsa (I loved these!!); Grande chips and salsa - house made chips with three kinds of salsa, all tasty. The beers are well made and tasty. This will be a repeat place for us. read more

Yum got the quesadilla birrias. Yum yum. Staff was super friendly and place was super cute. Not sure of the history of the spot but pretty sure they were a great food truck turned into brick and mortar. Which in my opinion is the best kind of spot. read more

Really wanted to like this place, but unfortunately it fell flat. Ambiance and service was great. However, the food was not up to par. Had the carne asada, al pastor and quesabirrira. Carne asada meat was tough and overcooked - not tender at all. Al pastor was dry and did not taste like it was from the trompo. Birria meat was also dry, and consome had no flavor at all. read more

The hubs and I have come here twice now with the same friends. They turned us on to Mestizo because they come weekly and now we are bitching our wagons to theres. It's a small but mighty spot to grab a drink and some tasty food. We've started with the chips and salsa both times. The chips are thicker and perfectly salty with three different salsas to choose from. Between the four of us, we have no issue polishing them all off. I really like the veggie tacos minus the onion and cheese (both are not great for my stomach). They are the perfect taco with a little recited beans, a little rice, avo, zucchini and pepper. Just really satisfying. The hubs and our friends get an assortment of tacos and papusas and all of us leave happy and full. Service is always fast and friendly too and we will continue to come back! read more

Great newer (as of January, I believe) spot in Wheat Ridge with a nice little dog friendly patio and friendly staff! My husband and I shared the birria tacos (comes with 2), side of rice, side of beans, chips with trio of salsas, and each our own tacos (I got carnitas). We really enjoyed all our food and so did our 9 month old who is obsessed with carnitas and also enjoyed trying their rice and beans. I also tried their house margarita and my husband tried one of their beers. We really enjoyed these as well. We will definitely be back to try some tortas and pupusas! read more

Amazing tacos. Robust tap list. Great patio. The chicken tinga and taco queso were absolutely fantastic. We will definitely be back.

Here on vacation and this place was near by my AirBnB. Great place to hang out with friends and the atmosphere is chill with great low key Mexican music. You order your food at the counter and the food is delivered to your table. Service is great and the nice lady who took our order answered all our questions about the food. The carnitas was the fav at our table but all was yummy. The Salsa de Aguacate (mild avocado salsa) is delicious. Guava Rose and Red Sangria are both really good and both are only served on weekends. Must try when your in town, you won't be disappointed. read more

Staff was super friendly. Especially the lady who took our order/served/bartended us. She was kind, informative, and very helpful to with the team. For food, Llapingnachos was not for me, I needed more salsa and wouldn't mind some meat (it's a vegetarian option). Tacos had a lot going on but I'm a simple taco person so this could be great for someone else. Meat was nicely cooked. Tortilla had a nice crisp. Birria was pretty good, the jus was more on the oily side and lacked flavor, I wouldn't mind eating these with salsa instead. read more

If I could give 10 stars I would- this is our absolute favorite neighborhood spot. We just moved from California and good Mexican food has been hard to come by, but Mestizo does it right every time. I've tried most things on the menu and I have yet to be disappointed. My kids crave it and ask to come here all the time. The beer and margs are also . Ambience is great, fun games to play, some kind of sports ball is usually on to entertain my husband and son, service is friendly and helpful. We love you Mestizo!!! read more

Cool new spot in Wheat Ridge! I visited a few months ago and have been wanting to go back. Surprised they don't have more Yelp reviews, so I'm hoping this draws interest. Had a few tacos and a margarita. Both were delicious and reasonably priced. Customer service is great. Vibe is super chill. Small parking lot out front. Came with my friend who drove by a few times That's how she found out about it. Would love to discover more places around Denver that way! read more

Cute new place that serves up amazing customer service and unique, delicious bites! We had the chips and salsa with a variety of their tasty tacos, all came out amazing! My only regret is not taking more pictures of the food before inhaling it all. The service went above and beyond to take care of us on their patio seating. Would definitely return. read more

Waitress was very friendly and welcoming. Food service was super slow - 30 min. for one bean and cheese pupusa and the pupusa was not fully cooked. The flavors were good but just not cooked all the way through. There were only 3-4 tables besides us so it was not crowded. Beer was good though! :-) read more

Small brewery serving up tacos and sides. May not be good for large groups due to space. All of the beers we tried were great (lager, IPA, and paso doble) as well as the food (chips & salsa, pupusa, and most of the tacos). Give this place a try if you are in the area! read more

The atmosphere was ok, we sat outside and I started to smell the dumpster part way through our meal. The food was not as expected. The staff was very nice but I would not go back. read more

Good food if you are willing to wait. Service is soooo slow. It took over 30 minutes to order a few tacos to go.

Wonderful place for food and drinks! The menu is unique, making it something out of the norm that really stands out! The owners are super friendly. The food is fresh and delicious. The price is reasonable. Support local! Keep Mo ey on our community! read more

Absolutely excellent local food and brews place. Wonderful people who care about the quality of the beer and the food. Food is an interesting and varied mix of Mexican, Argentinian, and Salvadoran flavors. The hot salsa is nice and hot, with rich flavor as well. Nice bright and welcoming space. I will make this a regular stop whenever I'm nearby. read more

Shiny brew kettles greet you from the windows, along with the locals who have claimed this place as their own. Tasty food created like you'd expect in South America accompanied by some of the best drinks in the area. The appetizers are amazing and filling... The pastor is cooked on a spit--nothing lazy about this chef. Greyson was very knowledgeable about the history of this brewery and he made us fall in love with the place. See you soon MBC! read more

Amazing food! Quick service as well. Very accessible also with friendly family owners. Tinga and carne tacos were tops.

Wowza! Friendly people, delicious beer and excellent food. What else can you ask for in a place? I had a great weekday happy hour experience at Mestizo. Thanks!! read more

The food was amazing and unlike anything we have been able to find anywhere else. Our group had a few cocktails and beers and all were excellent. Love the ambiance and the ability to sit both indoors and out. The staff and owner were super knowledgeable, welcoming and gave great insight to the area and other recommendations of things to do. We can't wait to visit again! read more

This is such a cute place and the food was delicious. The beer and service were both great. I definitely recommend the Tinga Torta! We will definitely be back! read more

I came in to Mestizo based solely on reviews and it did not disappoint! The service was second to none. While I was dining I said to myself "this place feels like it is someone dream coming to life!" It had a small town feel, with care and connection to each customer. Then the food came... and my love of Mestizo grew even more! Everything we ordered (and we ordered a lot) was made to perfection!! The ambiance was relaxed and inviting, giving us the feel that we could stay a while and continue to build connections. Highly recommend! 10/10! read more

The food is overpriced and bland. The hottest salsa was not spicy at all. Tacos are $6 each!

We read the "great reviews" and decided to try it. Beer was kind of bland and the appetizers, meh and overpriced for what they were. Really hate fake, paid for reviews. We left without getting lunch and found another place down the street that was much, much better. read more

Wasn't sure what to think of a place in an old oil change space but it was great! The tacos were tasty and the margarita was decent. I will be back to try a few more items. It was a little pricey for margs and tacos. But helping a small business is worth it! read more

Tried this place for the first time tonight. Tacos were tasty with lots of meat. Molly's Brown beer - nice! Mitch was very friendly. We'll be back - frequently!!! read more
