Reviews for Mekenita Cantina in Tampa, FL
Omg, so good! Best enchiladas ever- I got the pork and my husband got the chicken and we literally fell in love. The nachos are... amazing too. Only thing that sucked was the parking (as to be expected for Seminole heights tho) and they?re a little understaffed in addition to being a smaller venue so you might have a wait depending on your time. But the food and cocktails were sogood that it didn?t matter. Read more
Heard about this place from my SIL. We were not disappointed. Pricey but worth it. We had the Tiger Shrimp Grilled Tacos,... Horchata with Rum and a Jar of Red Sangria. Everything was amazing. A big shout-out to our server Drew for being great. Read more
The food tasted GREAT!! I am giving 3 stars because my delicious shrimp tacos literally had 1 shrimp in each taco.. I had a... total of three shrimp in three tacos.. For $14 I think there should have been more than one shrimp in each Taco consideringthere were no rice and beans.... Read more
Food was good and flavorful. Margaritas were delicious. Wait was not long at all, restaurant was quaint and decorated nicely. ... Outside seats were in a nice shaded area. Read more
A pretty cool hidden gem. This place was very themed well. Walking in and we felt like we were actually in a roadside cantina.... Decor and atmosphere worked perfectly! The food and drinks were great. My fiance and I came right when they opened so ourexpectations were not high but they did a great job. We had the egg rolls, which were presented beautifully, as well as a whitesangria and a blackberry margarita. We will definitely be back and have to come back for a date night. Read more
This is one of the best Mexican restaurants in the Tampa area. The food is delicious with several options to choose from along... with generous portions. I highly recommend the smoked pork tacos. Service is great and prices are more than reasonable. Had anearly Saturday dinner recently and did not have to wait for a table inside or out. Will be back soon. Read more
This place has great reviews & it?s cute inside but the only thing I enjoyed was the fresh guacamole & the margarita. The meat... in the tacos were skimpy at best. The food runner girl that brought it out wasn?t friendly at all..almost rude. The taste of thefood was bland. My friend ordered the tiger shrimp burrito, it was decent. And I believe our waitress was Victoria, she wasamazing despite, accommodating & a great attitude. I will most likely never go here again though.

My daughter and I went here to dine inside. I have ordered take away during lock down in 2020. Both times the food was... delicious. This time she wanted to order appetizers only. We ordered three and were stuffed. She ended up taking food home withher so portions are generous. The way they prepared the brussels sprouts were the best I have had. Next time, we probably wouldnot order the egg rolls, so we can try something else. The plantain nachos are amazing. They tasted great when I orderedcarryout, but in house even better. Our service was excellent. They even offered drinks to go. I feel like that is a regionalthing, yet a great touch. I recommend if in Tampa area. Read more
