"Service was good when we visited, but the food was ok at best. Flavor was bland and portion size for the money was lacking."

"I was shopping solo and stopped in Cantina 109 for lunch. I sat at the bar, and although I was the only person there, I waited several minutes for someone to greet me. The bartender appeared and apologized for the wait, which really wasn't that long. She was friendly, engaging, and very enthusiastic about the food. I had intended on trying one of the lunch s..."

"Went here for a late dinner and to grab a margarita with a friend have been here many times previously, but the service was subpar on this particular visit which was disappointing since they were not as busy as usual especially for a Saturday night. Our drink orders were promptly taken and served, but our server went mia shortly after. Once we did receive ou..." Read more

"Four of us had dinner last night here. Food quality was excellent. The fresh guacamole was prepared in front of us, the chips come freshly made, warm and salty. We ordered fajitas, which came with perfect timing to allow for savoring the guacamole and chips while enjoying our group conversation. The portions were big so we took left overs home. The servi..."

"Always great food and superior service. Whether it is for a quick business lunch or date night with my wife Cantina 109 delivers every time. Fresh inventive takes on traditional Mexican cuisine, outstanding selection of tequilas and knowledgeable staff, it's hard to beat. If you haven't been you are missing out."

"One of our party felt like a quesadilla so, as we were at the Gulf Coast Town Center, we decided to drive around to find a likely restaurant. Cantina 109 was new so, why not try it? As it was between lunch and dinner the restaurant wasn't busy. We walked in to a clean, pleasant establishment and were warmly greeted, promptly given a booth (our choice) and of..." Read more

"Visited Cantina 901 for the first time on 8/12/17. We were seated promptly. Warm chips and salsa appeared at out table. I ordered my favorite - chicken fajita. A steaming cast iron Skittle arrived with chicken, peppers and onions. Another plate with mixed cheeses, lettuce and sour cream. I built my fajita and they were sumptuous. The owner stoped by our tabl..." Read more

"I've been going to this restaurant since this mall opened. The restaurant was always a decent place to eat. Now, especially in the past year, the food has gotten to be some of the best Mexican food around. The service is also exceptional. The menu is online, go and have a good time and a great meal. "

"My boyfriend and I have been here at least 5 times in the last year - on patio and inside. We've never been disappointed. Food is always hot and tasty and servers are attentive. You can taste the freshness of ingredients - from the salsa to the cilantro in the dishes."

"Noonish lunch on a Monday, and Cantina 109 was reasonably empty. Which only concerned us until the server and food arrived. Luis was professional, hinted at a couple of "house dishes", and left us alone.The Cantina Burrito (a house specialty) was huge, extremely tasty and well presented.The Traditional tacos with pork were a tad sparse on t..."

"The steak burrito was probably the best one I've ever had and that's my go to pick in Mexican restaurants. The salsa they give to snack on while ordering was great as well. With 109 Tequilas to choose from no two visits will be the same

"Great drinks. Food was horrible. We had a party of 8, 4 couples. 3 meals inedible. Staff lied about menu. We ordered a fajita salad with shredded chicken and taco salads. They brought too identicle salads. One of them was wrong. I was told the one salad was a fajita salad and that they don't serve shredded chicken. Other salad then was returned. Manager retu..."
