Mekenita Cantina

Excellent cuisine and attentive service. Our server ensured all food was celiac safe and checked on with the kitchen as needed. Enchiladas and tacos were delicious! Highly recommend. Only detraction was a shared fryer.

Great experience, gf items not marked on menu but available. The waiter was unsure of a few precautions and couldn’t answer all my questions but was very happy to go talk to the kitchen for me. Everything is GF except for anything in a flour tortilla, the refried beans (the garlic used in it goes in the deep fryer) or anything deep fried (shared fryer). So avoid burritos, chips, etc and go for the black bean option instead. I had veggie enchiladas and it was amazing! Very very fresh, large portion, really yummy! Highly recommend but be sure to ask questions and confirm everything first!

The freshest Mexican culinary experience we’ve had. I am gluten intolerant and had the seafood enchiladas. The dish was perfectly prepared and the sides on the plate were Smokey refried beans and a sweet, crunchy, and tangy salad that tasted delicious. My son and husband are not gluten free and enjoyed their burritos and chips and salsa. It is a gem of a place!

Staff was very knowledgeable. No issues. Chips are fried in the same fryer with other foods FYI.

M.C. was a great place to dine if gluten free!! The staff was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. The menu does not specify GF, but they do say the majority of the menu is inherently GF (except the flour tortillas). The chips are also GF. I had no issues here. And bonus the food is awesome!
