Restaurant Review: Mestizo

Mestizo (Map it!), 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.
