Elcantina Mexican Cuisine is the first and newest Halal Mexican restaurant to enter the scene in Melawati. Upon entering, you will be greeted with colourful wall artwork painted by local artists, and decorations inspired from the owner’s favourite shows – Narcos and Money Heist. Pair that with the aroma of freshly grilled beef and torched cheese wafting out of the kitchen, and you’ll find yourself transported into an environment that resembles authentic Mexican dining.
Recommended Dishes At Elcantina Mexican Cuisine
There’s a large variety of Mexican dishes that you can try here. From appetizers like beef nachos with torched cheese, to mains like meat tacos and deep fried shrimp burritos – every dish is prepared by their team of well-trained chefs.
1. Beef Tacos (El Sukarnes)
First on the list is none other than the signature beef tacos called El Sukarnes. The tender beef is cooked using a flavourful concoction of lamb/beef jus, carrots and tomatoes. Served on a choice of soft or hard-shelled taco, it is then topped with cheddar cheese, veges, ranch and paprika.
2. Deep Fried Shrimp Burrito (Chimichanga)
Next on the list is a unique deep-fried shrimp burrito also known as, Chimichanga. It is a large deep-fried tortilla wrapped around chipotle shrimp, scrambled eggs, mozzarella & cheddar cheese and lettuce. Pair it with their ranch and housemade salsa for an extra kick in every bite!
3. Beef Nachos
It’s not a Mexican meal without Nachos! These delicious beef nachos are made using tender shredded beef, fried tortilla chips, ranch, tomato salsa, cheese sauce and torched mozzarella cheese. This is a must-try when you come here!
4. Beef Quesadillas
Choose from beef, shrimp or chicken protein when ordering their signature quesadillas. Wrapped in a smokey tortilla, the beef option comes with juicy shredded beef cooked in lamb/beef jus. Then, topped with cheese, veges, raw onions with a side of ranch and salsa.
5. Sinaloa Burger and Cancun Burger (Chicken and Beef)
Apart from authentic Mexican cuisine, they do serve burgers with a twist of their own. The Sinaloa Burger uses tender marinated grilled chicken that’s slathered in garlic butter sauce, while the Cancun Burger is made with shredded Australian beef tenderloin. Using fluffy brioche buns, the burgers are served with a side of buffalo fries and mushroom sauce.
6. Mocktails
Finally, complete your meal with their housemade mocktails such as the Malibu Sunrise Mix and the Fullmoon Sunset. The Malibu mocktails is a refreshing mixture of ais krim soda, plum, lychee and mint leaves; and the Fullmoon is Sprite and lime topped with vanilla ice cream.
