"Tonite I coerced my husband to take me out for Mexican ... so glad we came ... had the nachos and a chicken quesadilla... can't thank our barmaid Brie for the recommendations. Food was fresh and flavorful, not smothered . He wants to come back! Score"

"Signature drink poor at best. Need some alcohol in it. Waitress left to get chips and disappeared off the face of the earth. Food was worth the money but that was about it. We have been to this place before and remembered it as worth going back to. So many other choices this place better do a better job if they want to keep the people coming. Disappointing,..."

"Good margaritas and very good service.  The table side guacamole was excellent.  The restaurant makes everything fresh including the chips and salsa.  My fish tacos were very good ( and I live in Texas so have high expectations).  My husband had beef tamales which were also very good.  I would return on a future visit to the area!"

"If you live or visit the Bonita/Estero/Naples area, you know that businesses close EARLY - even on the weekends.  SO when we looked at our watch and saw that it was approaching 9p, full panic set in.  Luckily Cantina 109 was still 2 hours from shutting down, so we were super pleased to be welcomed in by the host and our server, Luis.As others have sa..."

"The food was mediocre and overpriced for what was served. The tequila menu is massive, but not a place to return to for food. The service left something to be wanted. Compared to other Mexican restaurants in the area, my wife and I will be trying others."

"This is a good place for Tex-mex. The food was a little slow to come out but it was a good meal once we got it and a reasonable price. The service was great and they made sure we enjoyed everything before leaving us on our own."

"We stopped here on the way to the airport and were overwhelming surprised. My mother has a horrible allergy to pepper and going out to eat is a huge task. Just think about it... how many times are the foods pre-prepared, the dressing already made, the marinade on your chicken. When the waitress was presented with her allergy card (this is legit folks) she de..." Read more

"We stopped on our journey down to Miami to see my family for Thanksgiving and everything took forever. The guacamole was awesome, table side prep was cool. Yet, we ordered only one entree and it took an eternity. A Tuesday evening meal that should have been an hour from start to finish was nearly two. It got very frustrating and we overate chips until we bot..." Read more

"We came in with our friends and family. It is not a kid friendly place. We waited forever for food and it was a huge disappointment. Very pricy!! I do not recommend this place at all. The manager walked by and didn't say one word to us!"

"When we saw Mac n cheese as an option for a side here, we probably should have figured this wasn't the most authentic Mexican restaurant. But we went for it anyway and it was about what you'd expect. There are 109 kinds of tequila as the name suggests so maybe if you get drunk enough on tequila, the food would taste more flavorful. But in our sober states, w..." Read more

"When you dine out, you have to take into consideration the atmosphere, the service, and the food.This restaurant was clean, which is saying a lot these days.The service was attentive and completely acceptable.Fifteen dollars for three steak tacos that hardly had any ANYTHING in them? It was a joke. Plus, what was there had no flavor...." Read more

"I really enjoyed my meal here. The pork enchiladas with mole sauce was excellent, and the chips and salsa were tasty and fresh. I appreciated the choice of sides - rice, refried pinto beans, refried black beans, or vegetables. I got the vegetables and they were seasoned nicely."

"Terrific food and service.  The 109 team took our girls night and Birthday celebration over the top.  Tequila flights, top shelf margaritas, and the best food ever. Special thanks to Bri and Charlie.  Who would have thought of tequila on tap?  Cantina 109, that's who!!!"

He poured it correctly and I must say it was GOOD!!! You must stop here for margaritas and  Charlie has to be your bartender! The table side guacamole is great!  I love a great margarita with some tasty..." Read more

"Went on all you can eat enchiladas night (weds). Bartender Brian was very nice and attentive. I was hoping to try the red enchilada sauce- but was given the wrong one, twice. Overall good spot, not sure I want to be there when season picks up."

"Nachos nachos nachos!!! Do not come here without ordering them! These were the best nachos I have ever had in my entire life. I can't stand places that skimp on the toppings and leave my chips on the bottom naked. Not cool. This place satisfied my topping requirement, and more! Black beans are placed on the bottom of the nachos, underneath the chips (what a..." Read more

"This is a very nice, clean restaurant with a great bar and reasonable prices for the beer. The waitresses are very friendly and prompt with their service. This place is in the Gulf Coast Town Centre. It doesn't seem to be a very busy place but it's a nice place to relax and drink. I recommend it."

"I can sum up my visit to cantina 109 in one word. Meh. I had enchiladas. They were unremarkable. My wife had the fish tacos. She thought they were underwhelming. It doesn't feel like they put much effort into their food. On the bright side, everyone was friendly and we never had to ask for a refill or more chips & salsa. Everyone..." 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."

"Very casual Mexican restaurant with cute decorations on the inside. The salsa Tomatio was phenomenal, had to refill on it, but the queso, street tacos and quesadilla were average at best. We waited an exceptionally long time for our food because everything is premade in the morning, so be careful! They have a great deal on Tuesday's for the street tacos, che..." Read more
