"Spent the day with my dad and his wife site seeing the Ft. Myers area. Decided to go to Bass Pro. Realized after getting to the mall we were famished. The only place open at 3:00pm that look like it had any promise was Cantina 109. Sooo glad we went in. We got great food (even for my dad's wife who doesn't like Mexican Food). The service was over-the-top-gre..." Read more

"We arrived shortly after they opened for lunch on a summer Friday. We were immediately greeted and seated. The wait staff brought chips and salsa and took our drink orders. The menu has lots of choices that all sounded good, making it difficult to choose, but we eventually did. The drinks came and the food came shortly after. It was excellent. The restaurant..."

"While Christmas shopping with my girlfriend we stopped in for a drink and some food. The manager mike was doing work behind the bar and took the time out to help us as customers and offer his knowledge and expertise on the menu and drink options. He was engaging and informative and made for a very memorable visit. The bartender on staff, laurie, was very hel..." Read more

"This is by far one of the best Mexican Cantinas I have visited. The menu is full of perfect selections. Each time I visit Ft. Myers I come here and try something new. I recommend this location for dinner with friends, family, or a nice simple date. Luke was a very good waiter and super helpful!"

"We stopped by here for lunch on our way to the airport. We weren't expecting much but pleasantly surprised by the food. I had the nachos supreme (that might not be the exact name but whatever the loaded nachos are called) and Robert had tacos. We both loved our plates. I could only eat half the nachos, the serving size was massive, definitely a dish that sho..." Read more

"My husband and I attended a 50th birthday party at Cantina 109 on a Thursday night - there were about 40 of us total. We were seated in the bar area at high top tables and the booths right next to them. We had two waitresses for our party, and they did an excellent job - very efficient and friendly. I had the Thursday special, which was chicken quesadillas -..." Read more

"We have eaten here a couple times now and really enjoy it.
The atmosphere is nice and service has been very good. Good chips and salsa. Their burritos are excellent and their green sauce and cheese sauce give a unique, milder flavor that is refreshingly different than most Mexican restaurants. Looking forward to my next visit."

"I went to Cantina 109 with my family and was pleasantly surprised. The complementary salsa was the best salsa we've had (Not to me to mention it's homemade). We ordered the tacos and nachos. Even though tacos have become more and more generic with the rise of quick chain restaurants. The nachos were the best we've had in a long time. The food aside, the serv..." Read more

"I've been a huge fan of Cantina 109 since I came to Ft Myers for work a few years ago. The chips and salsa are to die for! The chips are thin and tasty and the salsa is chunky and AWESOME! The first time I went, I ordered the wet fajitas.....sounds disgusting BUT It isn't!!! It's soooo amazing! Every time I'm in town on business, I stop by to get this tasty..." Read more

"What a fantastic start to our holiday. We were here visiting my brother and his wife and the food was amazing. We happened to drop in on Taco Tuesday, which meant we got 3 tacos with rice and beans for $10. After the amazing food, we were invited to have an introduction to the 109 tequilas they have at the bar by the manager. It was really good and we de..." Read more

"Great service and one of the best tacos I've ever had. We traveled 60 miles to go back two weekends in a row. The crunchy fish tacos are my favorite. The drinks are expertly made and reasonably priced. Our server Austin was very attentive on our first visit. Victoria was just as wonderful and also very attentive. The best part of the cantina is the relaxing..." Read more

"Our grand daughter is a freshman at FGCU, so she suggested we meet there for lunch. it was a 45 minute drive.
Our housekeepers are Hispanic and I often have them teach me some of their "home" recipes.
Cantina 109 blew me away. Great salsa, warm chips and the best cheese enchilada I ever had. Maybe not real Mexican, but surely great Tex Mex. "

"There is something I don't like about many restaurants in the area - they use premade foods and this is what you won't find at Cantina 109. The appetizer sampler is my absolute favorite, but also - how they make guacamole fresh directly at the table is something what guacamole lovers like me really appreciate! And then... their Margaritas? Oh wow - they..." Read more
