First visit here since they moved from Lutz. Overall everything was good. The drinks were great, the chips and salsa were tasty. The burrito was a little on the cool side as far as temp. We’d try it again in the future.
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.

After many visits under my belt, I am qualified to leave a radiant review.
They had me at house made sour mix the first time!
You read that right!
If you’re going to order a drink and they don’t make their own sour mix then it’s trash. Nothing artificial here!
Housemade sangria with 2 options, white and red.
My takeaway choice was the crab enchiladas accompanied by your choice of black beans or refried beans & a side salad.
Just WOW!
The salad’s tangy elements of pickled red onion and cilantro lime dressing were the ideal balance to the rich enchiladas. You will definitely notice the appearance of crustacean here, as the title suggests.
I took a chance with the refried option and loved it! No lard used here or tastes of old legumes. Topped w/ grated cotija cheese (think Parmesan). Smooth and textured with great mouthfeel.
I am thankful to have them in walking distance to my home as a flavorful alternative to dine.
Yes, it’s Mexican but with elevated, mouthwatering, zesty notes any fan of this country’s cuisine will be impressed by.
Dining in is intimate, casually elevated without the usual street food experience this choice of food is common for. Outdoor seating options available to watch the locals as you dine Al fresco.
This place is nice & very trendy. Parking is difficult. Be careful of tow signs. Also, they ran out of the crab roasted enchiladas l, so I was a bit disappointed. Our server was top notch & the fresh guacamole & chips n salsa were great. I ordered the smoked pork enchiladas & they were tasty & filing. The place is usually crowded, so make sure to be aware of this as seating is limited. I will definitely return.
We actually went to the zoo and ended up here because first place we picked was packed. Best happy accident finding this place! We tried 3 kinds of salsa which were all amazing, we will be going back to get takehome salsa. Tried a salad and shrimp tacos. Everything is homemade, bursting with flavor. Cannot wait to go back and get a drink!
We went for dinner on a Friday night and has a great time! Our server was very attentive and the food was delicious. Some of the best smoked pork I’ve ever had! Can’t wait to come back and try their tacos
I have to say, I did not think this place was going to be as good as others have said. The food was DELICIOUS! Very well seasoned and the steak was tender. The salsa and chips were great. The waitress was so nice and attentive but not overbearing. The entire restaurant, including the bathrooms, were decorated very modern and clean. We will be back to visit next time we are in Tampa.
I would give a 4.5 rating. Service was great and friendly. Guacamole was fresh. Steak tacos were fresh with mild spices. The crab and corn enchiladas were nicely seasoned but were not delivered hot- just warm, thus reason for 4.5 the black beans were also delicious. Restaurant and bathrooms were very clean. We even saw staff cleaning baseboards. Highly recommend trying this place out. I'll be back.
Best time going was during happy hour and when taco Tuesday pricing is in effect. Also, be sure to get the guacamole!
Stumbled upon this spot and was pleasantly surprised by how good the food was. The service was incredible despite how busy they were when we got there. I recommend the ceviche for sure !!!
