    Cute little jar for your margarita
    Brenda C.

    Wanted to try this Mexican restaurant forever, and was not disappointed! Ordered two of their tacos and a margarita, perfect for lunch, just the right size!!! They have several salsas for you to try out, I of course loved the spicy salsa...so much flavor!!! The margaritas are good, will have to come back to try them all...

    We tried Mestiza for the first time because of the positive reviews on Yelp. It absolutely lived up to the hype. The service was phenomenal. Our server walked us through the menu, explained the different taco options, and brought out a variety of salsas to sample with a starter potato taco. We ordered carne asada, del trompo, carnitas, and alambre, and every single taco was flavorful and delicious. Definitely worth the extra cost to get them fundido style! Highly recommend.

    Wow! The most flavorful street tacos I have had in St Louis! A complementary sweet potato mini taco was served first with four little salsas, lime and onion/cilantro. Delicious! We then started with the appetizer of crispy tortillas and pork rinds served with guacamole. The guacamole was smooth and well seasoned. Tacos were the highlight - specifically the alambre taco and the chicken taco. Both were perfectly spiced and good quality cuts of meat. Our server was so helpful in telling us about the salsas, different tacos and generally the concept of the restaurant. A sweet horchata to drink was a nice accompaniment. Overall, Mestiza ranks at the top of Mexican restaurants in St Louis because of the stand out flavors and high quality of food. Well done!

    Phenomenal tacos! Just like what I had in Mexico City, from the plates, meats and tortillas. The salsas here are also very good and spice levels for everyone. Generous with the limes, onions and cilantro too. This is a must visit! I can't believe I didn't know about this place in my own neighborhood sooner. I will definitely be back.

    Service was top notch. Very attentive and knowledgeable to explain the menu and offer suggestions. They even brought out a complimentary potato taco which was packed with flavor. Several salsa options and they were all delicious. They had a bar and canned/bottled sodas. The ambiance is cute and cozy, very clean. The alambre was my favorite, chicharonne was not for me. I also wasn't a fan of the birria. Esquites were fire, super fresh. The menu has so many options so I definitely want to go back and try more.

    The service was phenomenal They explained the concept & menu items when we walked in. Cute little restaurant. Servers continued to check up on us. The food was great. Its a taqueria so mostly tacos. We tried the guac w tostados & chicharonnes. Delicious! Multiple hot sauces offered. A potato taco as an appetizer. The margaritas were tasty & strong . Authentic. We tried 6 different tacos. Alambre Surtida Campechano Al pastor Casi alucinogeno Chicharron & churros for dessert

    All the amazing tacos

    Holy *** this place is amazing. The staff are super friendly, the food is amazingly authentic and tasty (seriously nothing is bad on the menu, and the margarita's were epic). It is a fantastic chill and casual spot to just hang. And there's good parking.

    We had the longest week and wanted a little treat to celebrate the start of the weekend. We live so close to Mestiza and had been wanting to give it a try so this was the best excuse. We did stop by the giant chair and take a few pictures before heading inside. We were greeted by a staff member, who gave us a rundown of the menu. You order at the front and get a little Loteria card as your order "number". They bring the food to your table. We ordered 3 tacos de Carnitas, 3 tacos de Carne Asada,2 flautas de papa, 2 flautas de Tinga and ten guacamole with chicharrones and tostadas. They give you a complimentary potato taco to sampled all of their sauce and it was so good! We loved the sauce tray and each had a favorite. My partner loved the milder options and I love the spicier end of the sauce tray which worked out perfectly. We loved how fresh and crunchy the chicharrones and tostadas were and how nicely they paired with the guacamole. Both tacos and flautas were incredible but our favorites were the carne asada tacos and the flautas de papa. We had so much fun, loved the ambiance and are so excited to live so close to this gem.

    Great taco spot! Friendly service where you order at the counter and they bring out the food and water to your table. Straightforward menu with a variety of meat tacos and a handful of vegetarian taco options with a few sides listed. Started with guacamole and chicharones which came out with a platter of salsas for the tacos, ranging in spiciness. Guac was fantastic! They also brought out a complimentary potato taco to start us off. Tacos are street tacos style so we tried a variety. My personal faves were the birria, del trompo, and tres Marias. The water was also mint infused and serves out of Patron bottles for a unique touch.

    Carne asada

    I am addicted to Mestiza!!! I moved to STL from San Diego and this is my favorite tacos I've had in a long time. This is my 6th time in 4 months coming here because it is always so good. All the staff is extremely helpful and kind, the food comes out very quickly and hot. The dining room is super cute and they serve the water and drinks in the cutest little cups. I've gotten Alambre taco, chicken taco and chicken flauta, potato taco, Guacamole with chicharrones and they were all fantastic!!! The meat had really great flavor, I loved that they give you some of each salsa to try. It's a must try!!

    Great authentic food and wonderful hospitality. I usually judge a Mexican Restaurant by the salsas they serve. Most are still homemade but they can vary in taste and texture. At Mestizo they go above and beyond and are so proud of their 4 different homemade salsas they serve them with a free small sweet potato taco so you can sample them while you are waiting for your meal. Brilliant way to get your tastebuds wanting more and a great teaser for what was to come. We started with the guacamole and wow was it good. Tried 4 different tacos and need to go back and try more. Definitely find time to visit, it may be your new favorite place to get tacos.

    Sauces for your tacos, and reusing bottles!

    After making a reservation, I heard on social media that this place may be closing soon, but there…read morewas no indication of that on the restaurant's website or in-house. We arrived right on time for our reservation, stood for quite a few minutes in a half-empty house before being seated, then waited a very long time between visits from our apparently over-stretched waitstaff. The first cocktail I chose wasn't available; nor was the first entree. I settled on the "red wine flight", and it arrived in three glasses. The server recited their names, but I didn't catch them. Food was middle of the road. A smoked sirloin sandwich was tasty, though rather well-done. And the order of "salmon cakes", which the menu says is made of "smoked salmon, roast corn, tomato, cucumber, creme fraiche, and capers" was in fact just one cake (not cakes!), smaller than a hockey puck (about 1/2" thick max) and seemed to be made of canned fish, not the bright orange of smoked salmon. It was accompanied by five thin slices of cucumber and three or four halved grape tomatoes. No corn, no capers. It was so boring, and an overpriced disappointment at $23. If this Bridge is actually closing and focusing on the event space, they've gone out with a whimper. And if they're actually continuing service, I hope they get the food a little closer to the menu descriptions. Our drinks and water glasses were empty for long stretches. Our server was very pleasant and polite, but must've had way too much to do.

The food- 3 of 4 of us said it was just ok. The other really liked theirs. We had 2 different pastas & 2 different sandwiches. Calabrian carbonara & citrus fettuccine. They were both kinda bland & not much flavor. Large portions. Wagyu reuben & smoked french. The reuben was a hit. The smoked french was too smoky. We had the pumpkin ricotta appetizer. It was pretty tasty. And the caesar was a large portion & decent flavor.

She asked if i needed any help. I told her that I was looking for Clase Azul. She said what size. She took me to a case and showed it to me. I asked if they had a smaller bottle. It said it does online. She told me I had to go up front and tell the cashier what I wanted. Then they will get it from another locked case. I explained to the cashier that I wanted to 2 of the different sized bottles to compare. Afterwards I will decide on which one I was going to purchase. I looked at the two bottles and decided to get the larger bottle. I was extremely satisfied with the customer service. She even got me to sign up to be a rewards member. I get a free bottle of wine for my birthday . There is plenty of parking in this strip mall. I looking forward to trying this tequila. I actually got it because I want the bottle. The top of the bottle is a bell. I wish I knew the history behind this. I almost forgot. For those that like cigars they have that too.

The place settings were all set up with two glasses for wines and a bottle of water as well as a book that we could follow along and take notes on during the class. To our surprise they had a nice charcuterie board set up with meat and cheeses, and also one set up for the dessert wines. The boards were really nice to have but the one thing we noticed was there was no crackers. It sure would've been nice to have some crackers with the meat and cheese or even a couple crackers to eat between wine tastings to clear our palette. The instructor, Mark, was very knowledgeable about each of the wines in the region that it came from.. The only negative thing I could even say about the course is if I did it again, I would not sit in the back row. We were always served last and our pours were way smaller than people in the front. Would I do it again, sure! It was a nice night out and we really enjoy trying the different wines and socializing with other people in the group. Aside from the wine tasting I do a lot of shopping here for different wines. There are always associates willing to help me with any questions that I have and they have an amazing variety of pretty much any type of wine or alcohol.
