We know, “Everyone’s a critic,” right? Well, ours has earned the title. This well-traveled foodie has studied the history, cultivation, preparation, science and technology of food for more than 30 years—and makes a mean Galantine de Poulet.
Mestizo, Spanish for “of mixed blood,” has been a favorite restaurant since it first opened on Sherwood Forest in 1999. Although I don’t go as often as I would like, Mestizo is like an old friend you seldom see—but when you do, it’s as if you had never been apart.
In 2006 chef/owner Jim Urdiales and company moved from their diminutive space on Sherwood to their current location on Acadian Thruway. Tapping into his Mexican and Cajun-French heritages, Urdiales’ menu offers an interesting blend of seafood and traditional Mexican that translates into a delicious cornucopia.
