"My wife and I have had multiple dinners at Cantina 109 and we can tell you that it is a restaurant/bar you should try. When you can combine great customer service (someone is training the staff well here)---with great Mexican food---and at great prices----well, it...is a home run. My wife and I strongly recommend Cantina 109. And,..." Read more

"Second time back and the food has been good both times. We had vegetarian fajitas and vegetarian quesadillas. Both excellent and the house-made chips and salsa is excellent"

"My husband and I couldn't be more satisfied with the food and service than we were! Everything was cooked perfectly, restaurant environment was beautiful and welcoming, and the service was great as well. The ceviche is definitely one item we will be ordering again. Especially after knowing it's one of the chefs personal & special recipe. Can't wait to go..." Read more

"We've been to this restaurant several times over the past five years, but last night's visit was our first in over a year (Covid concerns.) In the past, food quality has been mediocre, at best. Last night, it was almost inedible. I ordered Chile Rellenos. What was served was NOT prepared on-site. It was a factory-made concoction. The egg batter coating was p..." Read more

"Service Personnel abandoned us. We sat and waited for 15 minutes before waving someone over to take our order, we had to ask for chips and salsa, drinks took 15 minutes, food took 30 minutes and was so darn greasy it was gross. Then we waited 20 more minutes to flag someone down for a check! They had NO ICED TEA...NO HORCHATA! This is not authentic Mexican f..." Read more

"Followed Trip Advisor to Cantina 109. Service was friendly and efficient. There for early dinner, so no crowds. Other reviewers really like the food, but for me, just a little better than average. Venue is spacious, so can host groups. Bar looks nice. If you want Mex at the mall, this is the place. But it may not match up to all your gastronomic expectations..." Read more

"Very well run Mexican restaurant. Good menu ant the food was fresh. The waitstaff all wore masks inside and out. The portions were generous and tasty. You can make a reservation outside which is very important to us these days. Will be back."

"Absolutely delicious! We had an absolutely delicious dinner here at Cantina 109. The Perfect Margaritas we're exactly that, perfect. The grilled lime shrimp were delicious. The retried beans were the best. Try the Grouper tacos, really great. The homemade salsa and homemade chips were just the best we have ever had. Thank you Big Mike, it was a pleasure meet..."

"The service is amazing and the food is even better! Most Mexican restaurants in Lee County do not come close to the flavor the food has here! Kelsey the bartender was our server - she was knowledgeable and helpful! Ticket times for food was under 15 minutes and the favor was amazing! When our check came the server/bartender got slammed and the manager came a..." Read more

"The portions are small and the fajitas don't even come with rice or beans. The service was subpar. I mean the place was empty and I had to track down my server for extra waters. The price are higher than average for what you get, compared to the other Mexican Restaurants."

"I went with a large group of friends for a late lunch after getting in at the Fort Meyers airport. We were looking for something that had outdoor seating, fresh/quality food, and a variety of options that would suit different palates and nutritional needs (including gluten free/dairy free options). They did a great job - the food was good, the service was so..." Read more

"Stopped here on a Saturday night during Christmas break. Restaurant was not very busy but staff seemed excessively overwhelmed. Menu is OK but quite small and not very interesting. Service was average and the food was OK but certainly nothing exciting. Margaritas are pretty bland and overpriced. Unfortunately we like our Mexican food and this is a place we w..." Read more

We all really enjoyed it, highly recommend!!!..." Read more

"I usually have a hard time going to Mexicans restaurants because I don't eat meat and tacos with just cheese and lettuces are not very fun... it was great to see that they had a whole section full of great vegan/vegetarian options. I got the wet fajitas and they were amazing. All of my friends enjoyed there meals as well. Our server, Emma, was great!! The ma..." Read more

"The food here is always amazing no matter what time of day you go. Lunch time is the best time, since it's not overly busy. Sit at the bar and you'll get the best service in town. The bartender (I can't remember her name) is always friendly and welcoming! If you want the best Mexican food, and the best margaritas in Fort Myers, Cantina 109 is the place to go..." Read more

"Paul was a fantastic waiter. The food was delivered hot and quick. During our stay we ate at Twin Peaks, Aurelios, Fords Garage and Cantina 109. Cantina was by far the only one worth reviewing. Thanks for the hospitality."

"This was our first time to eat here as we come annually to Bonita Springs & sightsee in surrounding areas each trip. Nice, clean & upscale Mexican restaurant. The menu and drink selections were very good & portions were large. The waiters had uniforms and provided great service. Highly recommend!"
