"I can give this restaurant no more than a one today. We were excited to go back for the tableside guacamole that was so very good last visit, as were the margaritas, and service. After waiting twenty minutes, an experienced waitress came to our table with a filthy dirty used cutting board. I questioned her and she copped an attitude justifying he dirty board..." Read more

"I was at cantina 109 last night, Tuesday 3/13. The restaurant was busy but not overly crowded. I happen to work in the same mall and can tell you I won't be returning. My friend and I asked the person doing seating if we could sit at the bar, they said yes of course. We sat down, after about 5 min or so the bartender said he would be right with us. We patien..."

"Absolutely the worst restaurant I have ever been to. I've gone her three times with a party of four, and the service is horrible at best. The last few times we stayed and delt with the bad service, but this time was just the worst ever. We waited forever to be seated, then waited forever for our waiter to come and take our drink orders, no chips or salsa eve..." Read more

"My wife and I decided to go to lunch at Cantina 109 after attending an art show. I waited for more than 10 minutes at the door, staffed looked at me but did nothing. Finally one guy comes up and says "can I help you?" Really, I said we would like a booth for 4. He went away and did not come back! They were not busy at all. Then while we stood at the door ano..."

"This was the WORST dining experience I have ever had! We had a party of 8. Waited over 45 minutes just to get drinks! The restaurant clearly lacked good management as the waiter gave us our menus and then never came back as he then became the bartender and was running around like a chicken with his head cut off. When we expressed our concern to the hostess a..." Read more

"Absolute garbage service and food.  Our server was rude and disgusting- saw him picking his nose and then grabbing food with his hands.  He is a tall dark haired guy with tattoos- stay away from that animal .  Also the tilapia tacos were spoiled.  My wife was hospitalized with food poisoning after eating them .  The owners and staff should reevaluate their l..."

"It was the most horrible experience I ever had in a Fort Myers restaurant.  The servers were bitchy and were probably on training (there were unsure of the orders), no sense on how to talk to the customers and take orders.  The restaurant was empty (maybe 5 tables were occupied), the guy with the tattooed arms took our order (he was extremely rude when we as..."

"This place is terrible!  We are locals and have tried to eat here three times and each time the same.  Bad, slow service with tasteless, poorly prepared and usually cold food.  The chips are right out the Dorito's bag, beans straight out of the can and barely warmed while the tacos were all lettuce laying on a bed of wet lettuce.  After a long wait we went a..."

"Well to start things off, bartender had the personality if a we towel. No "hello. I'm so and so", just what do you want. Food was extremely bland. Got served a frozen margarita in a hot glass. And...we won't be going back. Should have listened to friends."

"would have rated this zero stars but I had to give it at least a star to write a review. It was a group of 8 people took about 20-30 minutes to even get greeted let alone get our drinks ordered. Then, asked for lemon for my water the response from the server was as if I was unconvincing her took another 20 minutes to get the beer that was ordered would have..." Read more

"DH and I were mall wandering and decided tequila sounded good. Sat down and a guy brought chips and a menu. Ten minutes later two other parties had been seated, one right behind us. When the server brought them chips, took their drink order and walked right past my earnestly pleading face, we left. If you don't serve customers they won't stay. The hostess ch..." Read more

"Visited Sunday evening for dinner with my family.
Table-Side Guacamole was good but everything went downhill after that.
Service was terrible in spite of restaurant being empty.
Server wouldn't listen, made mistakes on everything from drink order to meals and would argue when mistake were be brought up.
Not visiting again."

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

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
