Aztec Sunstone centrepiece at Mestizo restaurant London

Find the mistake and win a prize!

There’s an all-important mistake in the design of the Aztec Sunstone centrepiece in London’s highly popular Mestizo restaurant. We spotted it on a recent visit (delicious food!), and have teamed up with the management to offer a prize to anyone who correctly identifies the mistake...

The Sunstone model was commissioned at the time Mestizo opened.

Our friends at Mestizo haven’t - yet - put a limit on the number of winners, so pass the word! There are two prizes:-

• a family meal at Mestizo’s Sunday Mexican Brunch (2 Adults & 2 Children)

• an invitation to their 5th Anniversary Party on the 17th March, 2010 - if you hurry!

You can find sufficient clues on other parts of our website to locate the error. If you find it, please send us your answer via our Contact Page. We will forward the correct answers, strictly in date order, to Mestizo.

The only condition is that you need to be UK residents, and (for the Sunday Brunch) have to be a family of at least two children...
Note: this challenge is not open to staff/friends/family of Mexicolore or Mestizo!
