About

Mestizo pulls from Cuban and Colombian traditions to put together a Latin menu that covers a lot of ground. Carne asada, chicharrón with a semi-spicy sauce, rice, beans, the works. Portions are generous and prices are fair, which is exactly what you want after a long day in the park.

The service here gets mentioned constantly by regulars. Servers like Lionel and Andres have a way of making first-timers feel like they've been coming for years. Good recommendations, attentive without hovering. That goes a long way. (Heads up: gratuity is included in the bill, so factor that in.)

The room isn't going to win any design awards, but the food more than makes up for it. This is the kind of place where you show up hungry and leave happy, which is really all you're asking for after a morning on the Anhinga Trail or an afternoon paddling around Everglades National Park.

Mestizo handles dine-in, takeout, and delivery, and it works well for families and groups. Lunch and dinner both. If you're based in Homestead or Florida City and looking for a solid Latin meal that won't feel like a tourist trap, this is a reliable call.

My first visit to Mestizo was an amazing experience! The food was absolutely delicious, with a diverse menu that offers something for every taste. Lionel provided outstanding service—he was friendly, attentive, and made excellent recommendations that made our dining experience even better. If you’re looking for great food, a welcoming atmosphere, and exceptional customer service, I highly recommend Mestizo. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Food was delicious! Don't judge a book by its cover. Not the best location but the food was delicious. Chicaron was served with a semi spicy sauce and it was delicious. The carne asada was delicious and all the portions were very generous.
