Mestizo Opens in Delhi: A Sensory Latin American Experience at Priya Market

There’s something quietly magical about walking into a space that instantly transports you. That shift, that moment where the air changes, the energy lifts, and your senses wake up—that’s what Mestizo does. Tucked into the always-buzzing Priya Market in Vasant Vihar, New Delhi, Mestizo is not just a Latin American bar and restaurant—it’s an emotion. It’s a story told through flavours, music, and the unmistakable warmth of a culture that knows how to celebrate life, boldly and without restraint.

The first of its kind in Delhi, Mestizo is a vivid, unapologetically joyful plunge into the soul of Latin America. From Mexico’s rustic kitchens to Peru’s refined ceviche bars, from Argentina’s passion for the grill to Brazil’s dance of colour and spice, Mestizo weaves together a tapestry that feels as personal as it is expansive. Even Spain makes an appearance, adding a Mediterranean nod to the Latin story.

Step inside, and the interiors speak first. Earthy tones wrap around you like an embrace, softened by textured walls and handmade accents that echo artisanal elegance. It feels curated, not crafted—lived in, not staged. Whether you're slipping into an intimate dinner in the private dining area or raising a toast at a table for ten, every corner of Mestizo feels like it was built for moments that matter.

But it’s the food where the soul really stirs. Every dish has a heartbeat, every plate a memory waiting to be made. The lamb birria arrives like an invitation—slow-cooked, tender, impossible to ignore. The tableside guacamole is not just prepared, it’s performed, with handmade tortillas that are warm, fragrant, and perfectly imperfect. The churrasco-style lamb chops are a masterclass in indulgence, while the vegetarian menu doesn’t read like an afterthought but a revelation—grilled vegetable empanadas that crackle with flavour, mushroom tacos that linger on the palate long after the last bite.

Gluten-free? Covered. Comfort food? Done. Desserts? Let’s just say dulce de leche churros and Tres Leches cake aren’t just desserts here—they’re the kind of end notes that make you want to start all over again.

And the drinks—oh, the drinks. Mestizo’s bar doesn’t follow trends; it sets them. The cocktails are built on a foundation of Latin America’s best: tequila, mezcal, pisco—all poured with reverence and reimagined with flair. Whether you're a connoisseur or a curious first-timer, there’s a drink here that will find you.

Founder Piya Singh puts it best when she says, “Mestizo is more than just a restaurant – it’s a vibrant celebration of authentic Latin American cuisine and culture. Serving from the heart, every dish here tells a story, and we invite you to savour the essence of our journey with every bite.” And it’s true. There’s heart in every detail, from the marinated meats to the music in the air, from the burnt-orange walls to the fire in every carefully stirred cocktail.

So here’s your invitation: to explore, to taste, to feel. Mestizo is not just a place to eat. It’s a place to be—alive, present, and wildly yourself.
