"I'm falling out of love with this restaurant. After having a couple of very good meals, our two most recent visits have been disappointing. The greeter was half asleep when we walked into the (near empty) restaurant tonight. When asked if we wanted a table or a booth, we said, 'table.' She escorted us to a booth. After two failed attempts at making a Mojito..." Read more

"I feel I'm being generous giving 2 stars. A big group of us went there, it was my first time, and when we asked for a table they said it would be over an hour. Well, that turned into never. We never got a table, therefore never got to eat, so can't even review the food, which I was looking forward to. The best part about the night we were there was the barte..." Read more

"Love trying New Mexican places. Was excited to see this open, but I was disappointed in the food. The chips were sub-par and the salsa was boring. My husband had enchiladas and thought they were "okay". I had fajitas and I would rate them 2 out of 5. The steak was overcooked and there wasn't a lot of it. And mushrooms cooked with the peppers & on..." Read more

"Cantina 109 is a very nice Mexican restaurant with a huge variety of tequila and Mexican food. The table side guacamole is outstanding!  Serving sizes are very generous and delicious. The service is friendly and efficient."

"Not impressed at all. Service started out very shaky for our large group (we had to go find someone to take our drink order). I ordered the puebla combination, which was described in the menu as including a cheese chili relleno, beef tamale, beef enchilada mole plus two sides. Our server never asked about my choice of sides. He also had quite the attitude wh..." Read more

"We came in for dinner last night and I wish we would have just left. I just had the feeling that the service was going to be horrible and it was. They brought chips and we ordered guacamole right away. We asked several times for plates and cutlery to the point my mom had to get up an ask the host to please go and get us some. I will say they had good guacamo..." Read more

"We enjoyed a fabulous meal with our guests from Alberta yesterday evening. Entrees ordered included tacos, wet burrito, chimichanga, fajitas, and wet fajitas. All of the entrees were excellent but the wet fajita was exceptional. Service was top notch and the chef visited our table for direct feedback. We will return!"

"I would definitely go again.  I really enjoyed the chips and salsa and my tacos were very good.  My friend's meal was a little more mediocre but I think it's just what she ordered..  It's a nice atmosphere and they had some music playing but it wasn't so loud that we couldn't talk.  If you are at Gulf Coast and are hungry for Tex Mex flair, it's definitely w..."

"I was adventuresome and ordered the steak in a Mexican restaurant. It was extremely good. The chips were fresh and crispy, salsa was made in house, very good. Hubs had the quesadella and said it was excellent. We will be back"

"Uninspired and mediocre at best. I skipped the margarita as I'm trying to stick to my dry January thing, and maybe that was a mistake.  I got tacos al pastor. First, the reason you do a pineapple salsa is to replace tomatoes with pineapple. Tomatoes are fine but it's historically inaccurate to include them on the taco. Second, the lettuce was served already..." Read more

"I'm sure this place is an awesome bar on the weekend. But it's no place to come for dinner on a Monday night.The margarita I had was really good. The green tomatillo salsa wasn't bad but didn't have much to offer. My burrito was ok, but not worth double (and a bit more) the price of an "authentic" Mexican joint. My wife's tacos were too hard..." Read more

"Early dinner of a wet burrito. I used to run Mexican restaurants in the southwest and am more than a little familiar with what makes a good wet burrito. 109 version is excellent. Filled Tortia with a green sauce and a savory cheese sauce topping. Just wright"

"I'm not friends with the owner. I'm only the 6th review. Fajitas, house margaritas, chips, salsa, n queso were awesome. There was a 90 minute wait for PF Changs. We came here instead. We love PFs, but this was just as good. They changed the TVs multiple times for us. Will come back next year."

"Get the 'wet fajitas'!!!! They are the best fajitas in this country...and I've had my fair share of Mexican! Seriously, the flavor is to die for!! But before you get the wet fajitas you have to get guacamole made fresh at your table. Hello! Awesome!  The chips are great the margos are great, what more can you ask for! We love this place!!!!"

"Went here for dinner with my daughter.  Our waiter was friendly, attentive and informative.  The chips and salsa are excellent and are always being refilled!  The fish tacos were the best I've ever had!  My daughter loved the chicken chimi.  Even the owner stopped by our table to ask how everything was! You will not be disappointed!"

"Our experience was great at Cantina 109!  We were seated quickly followed immediately by our server.  We ordered a Chicken Chimi and the special, Shrimp, Chicken and Mussels.  Both were cooked to perfection.  Serving side was much more than expected.  Service was awesome and atmosphere was relaxing  and upbeat.  We will be back!"
