Lindsay took care of us today for our party and we really enjoyed her service! We came in for taco Tuesday and happy hour!
$3.50 for tacos (excluding the Mahi mahi) and a $1 extra for the shrimp!
They had $4 Mexican beers & $8 house margs & sangrias! The drinks were great and honestly the food was even better.
Personally, I enjoyed the chicken taco but the pork taco was fantastic. They smoke the pork themselves in house! Would definitely love to come back for more.
Food was very flavorful.
No reservations available on Tuesday but they take reservations every other day they’re closed on Sundays but I believe they’re open 11 AM to 9 PM

Good food, but not how I perceive authentic Mexican cuisine. The food seemed to conform a bit to American-Mexican style. The smoked pork tacos are AMAZING!!!!!! They put a pretty decent amount of meat on it too. The citrus chicken tacos are good but I feel like they skimped on the red onions as I only got 4 red onions for my entire 3 tacos. The chicken was cooked to perfection, very flavorful and moist; not dried out like you would get at other places. The hot sauce is very vinegar forward. The steak burrito was hefty, flavorful but a bit on the salty side. And their black bean rolls are delicious! It did not need the sauce that came with it. I think $10 for a kids quesadilla is a little expensive and it didn’t really fill my 4 year old, but he did like it. All in all, I think dining in would be a better option than take out because we missed the excitement of the food presentation!

This is one of my wife’s favorite restaurants! The food is consistently good and we brought two couples who had never been there before. The only surprise to them was that there is a charge for chips and salsa- which is generally complimentary at most Mexican restaurants. While the costs of running a restaurant have certainly escalated over the past few years, so has the cost of dining out. Complimentary chips doesn’t seem an unreasonable expectation.

Sooooo good! The smoked pork tacos were amazing, and oddly enough, the little salad that came on the plate with it was top notch! The margaritas have amazing crushed ice and tasted like the fresh squeezed strong margaritas I make at home. They have the cutest kid “plates”, too! We will definitely be back.

Nice place, great customer service. Food was just okay however the alcoholic beverages were not. All of us complained about the drinks and the taste of food was 50/50.

Update a year later – our experience here has been consistently good. We had tacos tonight – shrimp and steak.
Both excellent and fresh.
Very glad we tried out Mekenita.
It’s a cute place and nicely decorated. Has a welcoming feel.
Menu has a good selection of the traditional dishes you’d expect, along with some different dishes.
Our food was good and our drinks were delicious.
You don’t get chips n salsa like most Mexican restaurants though!
Price point was reasonable and our server was friendly
Parking lot is very tight though.
We had a good time at Mekenita.

Delicious food and great service.
Food: Mekenita Cantina dusts its fresh tortilla chips with a delicious spice mixture. The chicken quesadilla, grande burrito, shrimp burrito, and crab enchiladas were all delicious. The horchata was great and not too sweet. They bring a creative twist to Mexican food and they execute it well.
Service: We went as a party of ten around 8:30pm on a Saturday night, no reservation. The service was kind and attentive and the food was delicious. There was a mix-up at our table with the burritos, but our servers were gracious about making me a new one.
Overall, great experience. If I lived in or near Tampa, I’d be a regular here.

Came home and didn’t feel like cooking so I stopped in to this restaurant for a quick bite to eat.QUE PASA? What a find. Beautiful restaurant. Magnificent food. And a great server, SYDNEY who took pride in what she did, was attentive and accommodating. It was a perfect quick bite. Can’t wait for my next visit

We’re from Texas and went off TripAdvisor reviews after the Zoo Tampa.
Being used to Tex Mex, the Oaxan flair of the dishes was a treat. Full of flavors.

We enjoyed our first visit at Mekenita Cantina very much.
The place features a modern Mexican American atmosphere. Our margaritas were tasty, and the cold and salsa very fresh and delicious.
Our meals were served hot and in timely manner although the place was slightly busy (or we just got there at the right moment ♂️). Couldn’t finish mine and took the rest home, reheated the next day for a snack and it was STILL perfect
Planning the next time around already
