Mentxaka was a scholar of English literature, specialising in modernism. She is the author of The Postcolonial Traveller (2016),[2] and Kate O'Brien and the Fiction of Identity (2011).[3] According to The Irish Examiner, "[her] prose is clear, well-written and informative, and opens new and fascinating doors to the interpretation of O'Brien's novels".[4]The Postcolonial Traveller offers, in the words of Paddy Woodworth, a series of "sophisticated arguments" on O'Brien's novel Mary Lavelle, analysing it "provocatively and . . . fruitfully".[5] According to the European Journal of English Studies, Kate O'Brien and the Fiction of Identity reads like "a challenging detective story, scholarly, yet unpredictable."[6] Mentxaka has published on the work of Woolf, Joyce, Richardson, Kate O'Brien, and others.[7]
She also wrote plays.[8] They include A Pair of New Eyes (2013),[9]For Valentine (2009, 2014),[10]Visitor (AD 1585) (2015),[11]One Nite Stand: A Shakespearean Tragicomedy (2014),[12]Alien in Bewleys (1999), and Grainne (2015, co-written with J. Costello, K. Doyle, and L. Errity).[13] The play A Pair of New Eyes was included in "Ten Things To Do" in Gay Community News magazine, which summarised it as "Romance, friendship, betrayal, seduction, and two respectable ladies".[14][15] Mentxaka collaborated with a group writers for a performance of The Ministers.[16]

^"[Mentxaka's book] reads like a challenging detective story, scholarly, yet unpredictable, and sparkling with good spirits. . . I was impressed by the historical approach to continental socialism devoid of prejudice, [and] took pleasure in Mentxaka's chronicle of industrial Bilbao's life and struggles . . . As a film lover, and a fan of Victorian and modern English literatures, I was equally impressed." he European English Messenger (journal of the European Society for the Study of English), Volume 22.1 (Summer 2013): 91–3.
