| - Tempted to give one star, but a disappointing restaurant in Davidson is better than another empty gnome storefront. With that said, I left this meal very unsatisfied.
I ordered a classic margarita ($8) and a steak ($22), and they both left quite a bit to be desired. The drink was weak. For $8 dollars, I'd expect what feels like a full serving of tequila.
The steak was equally disappointing. Expecting a full cut of meat, I was served three or four lukewarm slices of steak with a drizzle of sauce, some cold mashed potatoes, and an assortment of vegetables that didn't add much to the meal. I left hungry and disappointed.
The one advantage of such disappointing portion sizes is that the weak margarita actually accomplished the same as a stiff one would.
Quality and quantity aside, I need to address the lack of value here. I've had better, cheaper Mexican food and drink in Manhattan. This is North Carolina. The Taco truck at the gas station in Huntersville serves what seems like better food in larger portions for a third of my entree's cost.
Mestizo has a ton of potential and is in a great location, but they need to deliver on the food and drink, their bread and butter, before I'll follow the other reviewers and comment on the quality of the interior decoration.
