Anyone caught up in the Nuevo Latino revolution of the moment should head to Mestizo. Its exceptionality doesn't just lie in being the only culinary destination of note in the gastronomic desert that is the Euston/Kings Cross locale, but also in its endorsement as being the only authentic Mexican eatery in the capital. Insiders whisper that this is where the embassy sends its visiting nationals. |
