La Mejicana Pizzería y Taquería

La Mejicana has been cooking in Las Lagunas since 1989, which makes it one of the long standing names of Mijas Costa. It sits on Calle Murillo beside the María Zambrano park, in the residential heart of Las Lagunas, and its motto, Para tu gusto, lo mejor, roughly 'for your taste, only the best', sums up how the owners describe their approach: they make everything themselves, starting with the buying of the produce, and cook every day from what they call original South American recipes. The menu mixes two worlds. On one side there are pizzas, from a margherita and a four cheese to a Mexican with spiced minced meat, a Colombian with chicken in hot sauce, a Moorish with spiced mince, onion and black olives, and a Nordic with salmon and capers. On the other side there are Tex Mex plates: hard or soft tacos, including tacos al pastor with pulled pork and pickled onion, nachos with guacamole and hot sauce, burritos served with rice and salad, chicken fajitas and quesadillas. Pasta, salads, burgers, finger food and desserts complete the list, and vegetable versions of most dishes are marked. What sets the house apart is its gluten free cooking: it runs a completely separate kitchen so that people with coeliac disease can choose from a wide menu, and there are lactose free options as well. Food can be eaten on the spot or collected to take away, which suits a relaxed evening back at the holiday home. A second branch operates in Alhaurín de la Torre; the Las Lagunas house is the original.
