"This place is a solid 3 for food but service is great. Paula took good care of us. Capt said fish tacos were awesoMe but not filling. She taxed some of my fajita meat. No problem. Rice is awful; instant. Beans bad too. Guacamole should be served with fajitas not an add on. Chicken wasn't fajita quality; had some gristle. I'd come back for happy hour on a lay..." Read more

"Back on top. After my earlier review, management reached out and asked us to give them another shot. I did a secret shopper visit and I have to say they hit the ball out of the park. Delicious food, and the service has always been top notch. The go to place for Mexican in ft Myers. Try the vegetarian enchiladas, two at our table tried them and thought they w..." Read more

"Our first visit here, arrived, party of 5. Menus dirty which surprised us a bit due to heightened awareness. Hurray for wipes. Service a bit slow, probably 15 minutes went by before we got any beverages on table. Friends and wife had Margaritas and were good, I had tea which was fine. Service not on top of beverage service generally speaking. We had table si..." Read more

"The service here is what's keeping me from giving 1-2 stars. 8 of my friends and I were visiting from Atlanta so we decided to stop by this place on our way down to Naples from RSW Airport. Atlanta has very solid Mexican food so I guess our expectations are high. The restaurant is located in a very nice and cute shopping strip mall. We were greeted b..." Read more

"Had dinner there last night. The server Shyler, was friendly and attentive. The food and drinks were bland. We had a Mojito and Margherita and wondered if there was any alcohol in it. The guacamole tasted like mashed avocados with nothing in it. The vegetarian tacos were greasy. The Santa Fe salad had more cheese than lettuce. The plantains were the only..." Read more

"Walked in to a dirty table, filthy menus, my first thought was running out, but I had other people with me so I didn't want to look like the pain in the group. Ordered a margarita $12.00 for pure fruit juice. No tequila AT ALL. No exaggeration folks. Asked for salt was given a salt shaker. Server was sweet, have to say. The complimentary salsa was disgusting..." Read more

"We were there last night with a small group.    Overall experience was fine, food not bad.       The 3 stars is relative to the value associated with the drinks.     All 6-8 of us noticed that there was virtually no alcohol in our drinks.       Like after 2 drinks of Margaritas- I felt like I could have just had fruit juices instead.       A bit disappointin..."

"Half decent food but I sympathize for the employees. In my short meal there, I could tell that they clearly have terrible management and the waitresses were forced to stay at work far longer than they were supposed to. I wish I could give this place a higher rating because the food wasn't terrible, but I'm worried there is a deeper issue within the establish..." Read more

"Ok flavor - 3rd time I've been here but this time was no bueno. Wife's fish tacos and my chicken tacos were literally all lettuce. Had to search for a tiny itsy bitsy piece of meat in her 2 and my 3 tacos. Good salsa but you'll get ripped off on your dinner. I'm done here."

"C109 was unexpectedly good.  Service was great.  Chips & salsa excellent and my pork enchilada was excellent as well.  When I asked the waiter to turn down the music a little he said No problem and turned it down.  I also asked him to close one of the outside doors because I was chilly and he did . Very accommodating"

"We were craving authentic Mexican food and went back to Cantina 109. The service, food and atmosphere was perfect. Everything was social distanced so it felt safe. We ate at the bar with Kelsey and she was awesome. The next day we decided to go back. Kelsey greeted us at the bar. All in all, we love this place."

"Friday night I make a pickup order here. One thing to know before making your order is that some things on the menu are not being offered now. They don't say on the menu which ones.I got the daily special burrito. This had pork insides along with the typical burrito toppings. A little cheese was on top and it came with a side. I got the red rice. An..." Read more

"We wanted to like this place. We stopped here for a couple of appetizers around 2:00 on a Sunday. Grabbed a seat at the bar. We were one or 6 groups/tables. Bartender was a bit slow so I pulled the menu up online. When she came to take our order the first thing we wanted to order she said "oh we don't have that". She then gave us a pretty pared back..."

"We ordered takeout and I'm so glad we did. Typically takeout is not as good as eating at the establishment. The menu is the same for takeout as it is to eat there,so it's a bit pricey for takeout.. UNLESS you stumble upon the daily specials.. My husband and I each got the daily special burrito with a choice of a side. I ordered mole sauce because it's my fav..." Read more
