Things are kept simple at Dos Mestizos, from the rustic décor to the unpretentious menu that sticks to the staples of Spanish food with everything from tapas to paella. Other recommended dishes include the calamari and the garlic shrimp. The family-run restaurant sources all ingredients locally, which can make some dishes unavailable at times. Service is friendly and a few of the waiting staff even speak Spanish, giving the place a very authentic feel.

Bread is baked daily on-site in the restaurant’s bakery and Dos Mestizos Boracay also regularly plays host to live Spanish music, making for a very atmospheric dining experience. This is a good spot for those that want to escape from the noisier side of White Beach’s nightlife offerings.
