" Mekenita Cantina is a gem! The atmosphere was vibrant, and everything on the menu sounded tempting. I went with the chickpea tacos and was impressed by the flavor profile. They were unexpectedly delicious! My one issue was the wait time; it took a while to get our drinks. Overall, I had a great experience and will recommend it! " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been here a couple of times now, and while I love the taste of the food, the portion sizes can be a bit on the smaller side for certain items, especially considering the price point. The Brussels sprouts were amazing, but I expected more from the fish tacos. Nonetheless, the margaritas are excellent and the atmosphere makes it an enjoyable visit. Service has always been friendly! " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely fantastic dining experience! I ordered the crab enchiladas which were rich and flavorful. The margaritas were just right, not too sweet. Our server was attentive and friendly, making the experience even better. The atmosphere was trendy yet comfortable, perfect for a casual night out. Can't wait to come back! " (*Curated Review*)

" We had dinner at Mekenita Cantina and it was a delightful surprise! The smoked pork tacos were incredibly tender and bursting with flavor. My only regret was not ordering the guacamole with my chips, which have a reasonable price. The ambiance was friendly and laid-back, making it a great spot for family gatherings. Overall, a solid four stars! " (*Curated Review*)

" Mom and I came for a casual dinner and loved every moment. The environment was inviting, and our server gave us great recommendations. I had the chicken enchiladas, which were flavorful and filling. Overall, a pleasant dining experience, but maybe a bit pricey for casual dining! " (*Curated Review*)

" Great place for dinner with friends! I had the chicken salad, which was fresh and filling. The service was on point, and the atmosphere was lively yet relaxed. I would have liked to see a little more variety in their drink options, but overall it was a fun evening, and I look forward to visiting again. " (*Curated Review*)

" Mekenita Cantina is a gem! I had an exceptional experience here. The margaritas were refreshing and not too sweet; I loved them! The best part was the unique dishes they offer, like the plantain nachos. It’s not your typical Mexican fare, which is refreshing! However, I would suggest they improve the wait time during busy hours. All in all, highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)
