License commission approves Mestizo Latin Kitchen common victualler license at 491 Dutton Street
Summary
The commission granted a common victualler license for Mestizo (Latin Kitchen) at 491 Dutton Street after a brief presentation by the applicants; the restaurant plans to serve a mix of Latin American dishes and hand‑made tortillas.
The Lowell License Commission on June 12 approved a common victualler license for Mestizo Latin Kitchen at 491 Dutton Street.
Luisa Lopera, corporate officer for Mestizo (appearing by Zoom), introduced the concept and Mario Chacon, who will serve as chef, described a menu blending dishes from across Latin America, including tacos and Salvadoran pupusas. "We are going to make tortillas from scratch," Chacon said, and said the kitchen would draw flavors from Central and South America as well as North America.
Commissioners asked for clarifications about cuisine and signage; one commissioner said the signage looked good and that the board appreciated the application. The commission moved to approve the common victualler license without recorded opposition.
Why it matters: the approval clears a proposed neighborhood restaurant to open and begin serving customers; applicants emphasized a multi‑national Latin menu and from‑scratch preparations.
Ending: commissioners welcomed the new business and closed the docket after the approval.
