Enchilada Festival at Mestizo: A Journey Through Mexico.
From 27 April to 4 May, Mestizo invites you to experience one of Mexico’s most iconic dishes like never before in both Camden and Chelsea.
Our Enchilada Festival is more than just a celebration of this dish; it’s a journey through the different regions, traditions and stories that shape Mexican cuisine today.
Each dish on the menu has been carefully curated to represent a different part of the country, turning your meal into a sensory journey.
Six enchiladas. Six stories:
Enchiladas Cancún: The Caribbean Escape
Light and full of energy, these enchiladas reflect the modern, coastal side of Mexico. Inspired by the Yucatán Peninsula, they bring together freshness, citrus notes and a sense of sun-soaked escapism. This dish is Mexico by the sea: colourful, relaxed, and made to be shared.
Enchiladas Tapatías: The Soul of Jalisco
Bold, rich and full of character, these enchiladas come from the heart of Jalisco, the land of mariachi and tequila. They carry a sense of pride and tradition, evoking long family lunches, music and flavours that feel both comforting and celebratory.
Enchiladas de Mole Verde: The Hidden Ritual
Subtle, herbal and deeply complex, mole verde offers a quieter side of Mexican cuisine. Made with green chillies, herbs and seeds, it feels closer to nature, more intimate, more personal. This is a dish to discover slowly.
Enchiladas de Mole: A Celebration in Every Bite
Rich, layered and deeply rooted in tradition, mole is one of Mexico’s most iconic and complex culinary expressions. A blend of Indigenous and Spanish influences, it tells a story of time, patience and celebration.
Enchiladas Divorciadas: A Playful Contrast
Two sauces in one plate. Green and red, fresh and intense, divided yet perfectly balanced. These enchiladas are both fun and symbolic, like a reflection of Mexico’s contrasts, where opposites don’t clash, but coexist beautifully.
The Origin: Where It All Began
Before they became what we know today, enchiladas were simple tortillas dipped in chilli. Over time, they evolved into countless regional variations, each with its own identity. Every enchilada you try today carries a piece of that history.
