My experience with Mestiza has been amazing. I have taken my entire family there and I also subscribed to their meal prep plan. Their food is super healthy super well made tasty and fresh always very fresh. I feel like my body is thanking me for finally be eating so healthy. I highly recommend. They also have some very nice Brazilian dessert, and for those that are trying to avoid sugar you should try one of their ginger shots. It's let's say reinvigorating. read more

Mestiza Cafe - Display with some specials - Acai Bowls Near Me - Miami, Florida

This little cafe is super cute. I went in for lunch recently for the first time after it opened here at the Riverfront and enjoyed the lunch I had. I got a pesto chicken sandwich was came in a large portion and tasted great. The environment is very comfortable with pretty decor. I only wish more people were there. It can feel a little quiet. Would highly encourage people to check them out and support this small business. read more

Good spot for those who live in one of the riverfront buildings. They have a variety of breakfast and lunch foods. They also offer free delivery to the buildings within the complex. The cafe also has a small market with foods and home essentials. read more

If you live in one of the Riverfront buildings this place is totally worth checking out. The staff are super kind and memorized my coffee order within just a couple visits. One time I came in while there was a line and by the time I got near the front an employee went ahead and handed me my order! He had started preparing it for me as soon as I walked in which I thought was very sweet. The chef (there's probably more than one but I always see the same guy during the daytime) is sooo nice. It feels like he genuinely enjoys the process of cooking and makes the food with love. I will say the market items are a bit pricey, but that's kind of to be expected since it's "convenient" store type groceries. read more

I went to this cafe to study for a few hours and get a caffeinated beverage. I typically go to Aura Bistro in the Mint-Ivy-Wind condo complex since they have amazing handmade in house empanadas but wanted to just give this place a chance. It was pretty empty inside. I ended up purchasing an iced latte with light ice which was almost $6 and a chicken empanada which was approximately $4 with tax. The empanadas are frozen and just reheated-I saw a worker get frozen ones and bring them to the front area cash register area as that area has a door to the kitchen. The drink was brought to me and was filled to the brim with ice and a little bit of beverage. It was 98% ice and 2% actual beverage. I let it go, assuming the worker just forgot that I asked for light ice. Mistakes happen. The chicken empanada was so bland, dry and seemed like it had zero seasoning. I added salt and pepper to try to help it a bit but that didn't help either. Shrugged it off. Protein is protein. I finished my empanada and was halfway done with my latte which had already become very watery matcha from the ice. Again, I wasn't bothered because I didn't have very high expectations for this place anyway and just wanted to study and have something to eat/drink that would be close by the apartment buildings here. Usually I am much more critical of food but this place is just a random cafe. At this point I stepped away to refill my personal water bottle. When I came back, my latte and napkins I had been using had been taken away. I was not finished with my drink, but I assumed the waiter thought I was done and had taken it away. Ok, fine. It was extremely watery so I didn't lose anything important. Since I was planning to stay a little while longer, I thought I'll order something else in a few minutes again. I continued working on my laptop and what seemed to be a middle aged woman in her 40s or so who may be an owner of the place came in. She looked at me a few times with her eyebrows visibly scrunched up only when she was looking in my direction-obviously looking a bit peeved maybe because I didn't have any food or beverages on my table. I'm assuming she thought I was just using the area without purchasing anything. She was giving orders to the employees and taking a million photos of one of their very aesthetically lacking coffee cup in various areas of the restaurant. She kept glaring at me and looking at my table to assess the lack of food and drink I had and at this point I decided to get up and order something just so she'd stop glaring as this had been going on for at least 5-7 minutes. I tried giving her a smile to placate her. If she was really concerned about me not purchasing anything, she could've just asked the worker if I had ordered anything. I ordered a beef empanada, hoping it would be better than the chicken. The worker informed me it would take 15 minutes to make. I said that I was fine with the wait. I'm not sure if the owner saw me order as she was very busy taking a photograph of a white paper coffee cup. I went back to my table to continue studying and 30 minutes later, my empanada was brought to the table (wait time was supposed to be 15 as mentioned before). The owner lady looked at me again and saw that I had food. The beef empanada was also lacking flavor. I ate my empanada and decided to leave. This kind of attitude and strange behavior from a grown woman was making me uncomfortable. Will definitely not recommend getting matcha or empanadas from here again. Would also not recommend coming in general because the owner is so odd and makes things uncomfortable. Aura Bistro's empanadas and drinks are a thousand times better. Their beef and their spinach empanadas have the best texture and flavors. Their dough is also delicious. Aura's prices are much better for all of their food. Mestiza's prices are worse and their food is bad. read more

Probably won't be returning... We looked up açaí bowls in the area and chose Mestiza because its pictures looked good but they were a little deceiving. We ordered both kinds of bowls they serve and found them overpriced and they were basically exactly the same bowl, so no many options at all. The ambience is okay. But they service was nice and considerate. Maybe their other food is better but the açaís were sugar bombs and overpriced. Also, we added those chocolates covered dates on our picture. read more
