Chef Shawn was the best! I ended up picking up the meals instead of doing the delivery. I believe I got the teriyaki salmon bowl. It was so good, just enough of everything together. Definitely will be ordering again and trying out the delivery!

This is hands down the BEST meal prep service we have used in Alameda. My fiancé and I are very busy with work, planning a wedding and traveling, so we don’t have enough time to cook during the week. We were utilizing another meal prep service, however, their the food did not always taste fresh. We are absolutely in love with Mestizo! Every single meal I has been delicious and fresh!
Kayla K. 5/5 Verified
This food is 10 times better than Factor meal prep! When I say it’s good, I mean it is REALLY good! 😋 Everything was flavorful, fresh, and delicious. The only change I would make is to cook the broccoli a little longer so it’s softer. Other than that, absolutely amazing! 👏🏾
Rosalyn M. 5/5 Verified
We were extremely satisfied with our meals this week! This was our second time trying a meal service, but our first experience with Mestizo Meals—and what a difference! The other company completely disappointed us (that’s another story), but Mestizo really impressed both me and my wife. She’s a great cook and quite picky about other people’s food, yet she loved every dish. The meals were fresh, well-prepared, and absolutely delicious. We’ll definitely be ordering again and again. Highly recommend Mestizo to friends and anyone looking for tasty, high-quality meals!

My first impression was great based on the meal containers portions they have. The aroma of my meals were great and it did tempt me to try it even when i was not hungry. I ate up half of the meal for testing and I absolutely loved it.! The meals are very fresh in taste and is 100% delicious. It kept me full for long and the portion is also great.

Absolutely LOVED week 2 with The Mestizo. Easy, Flavorful, Delicious. The meal options are just perfect for my healthy lifestyle. No stressing if I’m eating too many carbs and not enough protein or vice versa. This is a Divine meal prep!!
Toni L. 5/5 Verified
As a working couple, we don't have time to cook and prep our meals for lunch and dinner everyday. We tried this meal prep on recommendation of our colleague who follows this plan since months now. We absolutely loved the menu and the food. Its light to stomach but keeps you full for long. My favorite was chili garlic shrimp, my husband liked the teriyaki salmon. Highly recommend to try it out for your convenience.

Tonya M. 5/5 Verified
Since moving from Troonto to Alameda, I’ve been exploring new meal prep options—just tried Mestizo, and I’m impressed! Larger portions mean you really get your money's worth, and depending on your diet, you might even stretch them into two servings. Most importantly, the meals taste fresh, homemade, and absolutely delicious. Definitely worth checking out! #MealPrep
Taia B. 5/5 Verified
Perfect portions! Very flavorful! Will definitely be ordering every week that I have to work moving forward. I saved tons of money not ordering DoorDash and Uber eats this week. And did not even feel groggy after lunch. I hope the menu changes every week so I won’t get bored.
Tonette L. 5/5 Verified
They deliver XL portions so its perfect for a filling meal time. My husband and I just order our favorites every week and we take these to our work place. After re-heating the meal, the taste seems to be fresh and does not lose any flavor. This plan has been easy and convenient for me so I will continue following it. The after sale service is very smooth and the chef has always been kind to me.
Ashley 5/5 Verified
The meals arrived as scheduled and my hubby and I feasted for about 6 days sharing one meal as the potions were large! Due to this being my first time ordering I ordered the adobo chicken and teriyaki salmon meals. They were tasty and well seasoned. The teriyaki salmon and the adobo chicken were our favorite. The price was right and it took the pressure off of me to cook. Loved the variety it offered!
Ijuana M. 5/5 Verified

Mikael T. 5/5 Verified
The food arrived well-packaged and tasted great — not too salty or bland. I love the variety of dishes, and the portions are generous for the price. It’s also very affordable. I’ll definitely be ordering from them again. It’s super convenient for my lifestyle, especially since I have a mentally demanding job and often don’t have the energy to cook after work. The meals are low in calories and healthy. My favorite so far is the adobo chicken — absolutely delicious. Keep up the great work!
Davita W. 5/5 Verified

Jerilyn B. 5/5 Verified
These meals are really really good! Fresh food and perfectly prepared. I used to use another service and I would have to add my own seasoning to make it taste good but not with this one! 10/10
Damali H. 5/5 Verified
Just tried for the first time. Got 7 plus 1 meals. Had the teriyaki salmon. Delicious, good size portions, I had a salad first, so only ate half. Seasoned well, not to salty, not a salt user. Delivery was spot on, young lady, texted me, she was on her way. Got 7 more meals to eat! Will definitely use again, after I eat these. Good first impression, would recommend to others. Thanks , for dinner
Lorraine F. 5/5 Verified
Everything we ordered was very very good. All of the meals are seasoned very well and I love the variety that they offer. The food is so good it almost makes it hard to believe they're under 500 calories. They have a returning customer for life.
Courtney B. 5/5 Verified
Chef Shawn is amazing. He catered my family’s cabin retreat and everything was top tier!! He prepared 4 dinners and 4 morning breakfasts for my family of 7. He was flexible with our schedules, punctual, the food was stellar and he cleaned up everything at the end of the night!! He felt like an addition to our family by the end of our trip. I will definitely book Mestizo again in the near future.

You are the first meal delivery service that gives you enough food. The food is fresh, very flavorful, and has lots of vegetables, just what my wife likes. My wife likes all the choices you offer. Your service has answered our question of whats for dinner. Your prices are very fair for what you receive. Thank you so much.
