"Stopped here after a nearby basketball game as it looked interesting as we drove up to this shopping center. While the place was empty, the service was a little spotty. Took awhile to order and get our drinks. When the food showed up our portions seemed small for the prices charged. Not sure how long this place has been open but seems they may be working out..."

"Haven't had much luck in this area with Mexican food -- both I and my 97-year-old mother have lived in Mexico (in addition to Texas and California) and had been disappointed with earlier forays into the SW Florida "Mexican" scene. (Would you believe CANNED tamales at one supposedly authentic restaurant??) With some trepidation, we ordered the chile..." Read more

"Went New Year's Day with a friend for a light dinner. The Cantina Sampler is enough for two people, plenty of good food. Miles was a great server as well as the manager Paul. The margarita was superb, my friend greatly enjoyed the house wine. Chips and salsa were also good. "

"We just happened to see Cantina 109 when driving through a shopping center and so glad we did. The food was really good and the Margaritas were totally awesome. What really topped of a great meal was the exceptional service. This will be our new go-to Mexican restaurant!"

"The hostess Dana was amazing! She checked our table numerous times, even more than our server. I've never seen such a positive and cheerful young lady who loves her job. Then we find she's a high school student which really made her exceptional! Our food was delicious so it is as a winner all around. "

"I came to Cantina 109 on Tuesday, which is all you can eat tacos.Awesome! Delicious tacos and fantastic drinks. The bartender (too scared to ask her name but she's kinda a hot goth). My margarita was delicious. (Get Cointreau and Grand Mariner). The tacos were amazing. I got chicken plus hot sauce and I filled myself to the brim. Paul who was managing at..." Read more

"Unsafe place that is turning estero into the ok corral. This owner will allow any crowd and promoter to fill his club with guns and violence. As long as he is making money. As for the food and drinkd they claim homemade and fresh but the tortillas and sour mix both come from a bag. Lets be clear this is not real tex mex at all. Go to Taco Viva on 41 1/2 tge..."

"Our server Shannon was an utter delight. She was personable, attentive and extremely efficient.
She made our visit a very pleasant one.
We told her manager Adrien (spelling) how pleased we were with her. He was also very pleasant and helpful.
The food was very good and the service was great."

"I've been here for dinner but wanted to give Sunday lunch a try. I sat in the bar, there was football and other various sports games on. I decided to give the street tacos a try. They were amazing. Also, I asked for a margarita and Paul brought me the 32oz, oh my it was delicious. Tacos, margaritas and football....I will be back!!!"

"My sister and I popped in without knowing anything about the place and we were pleasantly surprised. The all you can eat enchiladas were tasty and even the rice and beans were better than most. If you are looking for a place to enjoy a drink, a chat, and great food, this is the place."

"Our family loves Mexican food so it is always a go to p mm ace when we travel. We really enjoyed the chips and salsa. The chips had a flavoring or spice on them the salsa was brown and not tead. I think maybe it had black beans in it. The margaritas were good as well as our shimp tacos. Enjoy "

"The Cantina 109 is the best Mexican restaurant that I have ever visited. It is so good that in a two month period we ate there five times. The food is prepared fresh daily and the chips are awesome. The staff was outstanding, too. I wish David, the owner, would open one in the Indianapolis area. Anxiously awaiting a return back in March ."

"We decided to visit this restaurant based a local review. The service was so poor it distracted from what might have been a good experience. No setups on the table. When my soup was served I had to ask twice for a napkin. The restaurant was virtually empty, but the waitress was never available. When she was present, we had to hear her problems. As for the fo..."

"We went for the all you can eat enchiladas. I had the beef and they were the best I've ever had. Also tried their perfect margarita....wow! Made with silver Patron and all fresh ingredients. Our server, Paul, was so kind, polite, extremely professional and helpful. I will most definitely be back and telling all my friends!!! Thank you Cantina 109."
