A journey through Taste...
At Hammett’s Mestizo, food is meant to be shared. Our concept is inspired by the vibrant and diverse culinary traditions of Latin America, where gathering around a table and sharing plates is a way of life. From bold street food bites to regional specialties, every dish is designed to be passed around, talked over, and enjoyed together. The menu blends native ingredients with modern techniques, celebrating the rich tapestry of cultures that make Latin American cuisine so dynamic and communal.
The Sounds of Mestizo
Music is the heartbeat of Latin American culture — a constant presence in everyday life, from lively plazas to quiet coastal towns. At Hammett’s Mestizo, music is more than background noise; it’s part of the experience. Our curated playlists, DJ sets, and live performances reflect the rich rhythms of the region — from salsa and cumbia to Latin jazz.
It sets the mood, tells a story, and brings people together — just like our food and cocktails. Because at Mestizo, every night should feel like a celebration.
