This was our first visit to Mestizo. We will be going back. It was an unusual evening; major traffic gridlock all over Boston and Cambridge because of red line shutdown and very cold, windy rainstorm. I believe these factors reduced the number of customers, perhaps making the restaurant quieter and less crowded. Service was excellent, quick and attentive. I was not familiar with Oaxacan cuisine but I liked it a lot and will be going back on a more “normal” evening. Decor was bright and cheerful.
