"When visiting a new place, I rely on accurate reviews. This place has great reviews but the food was not great. No flavor in the entrees. The table side guacamole was good and the kid preparing it was entertaining but that's the best I can say about this place. Even the salsa was bland. Disappointed!"

"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

"Upon further research i have found the reason salsa has so much vinegar, is because after 5 to 7 days restaurants preserve there salsa by adding vinegar. After speaking to manager; he said he had not tried it.. weird, since he new we had complained. He probably didn't want to get sick. This will be our last visit. Unfortunately "

"It takes a lot to get me to write a bad review anymore BUT one sure fire way is to not get waited on. Walked in on a Sunday afternoon at around 3:20 and there were three other tables in there and now with us sat that makes four. Sat for 6 minutes while servers and the managers walked by us and not a word. At least acknowledge the table but NO word and a few..." Read more

We watched every table served..." 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..."

"The food is expensive and not very flavorful. I had the street tacos - chicken and one ground beef. Both were bland and disappointing. We will not be back."

"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

"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

"Service poor (late lunch and pretty much empty), food took a long time and then came out cold-just awful. Complained to server and the response was "I'm sorry". Oh and did I mention that it's not inexpensive."

They brought too identicle salads. One of them was wrong. I was told the one salad was a fajita salad and that they don't serve shredded chicken. Other salad then was returned. Manager retu..."

"Unsafe place that is turning estero into the ok corral. This owner will allow any crowd and promoter to fill his club with guns and violence. As long as he is making money. As for the food and drinkd they claim homemade and fresh but the tortillas and sour mix both come from a bag. Lets be clear this is not real tex mex at all. Go to Taco Viva on 41 1/2 tge..."

"I stopped in for lunch and I think only one guy was working there. He hurried from table to table but couldn't keep up. The meal didn't come, the iced tea was empty, no one showed up to help. Eventually my 'lunch nachos' appeared and it was underwhelming at best. About 10 soggy nachos covered with cold lifeless shredded chicken and a thumbful of guacamole. W..." Read more

"We were starving after a long day of travel and wanted Mexican food after leaving the airport . This looked like a good place and had favorable reviews . First of all , our server seemed like she would rather be anywhere than here/ never smiled or seemed to care about anything. Our food took over 30 minutes to receive and there were only 8 other people in th..." Read more

"Waited for over an hour before our meals even came out and we only ordered a salad and 3 tacos, and the food wasn't even that good and gave us the wrong food. Our waitress also only served us 2 times during the meal and one was to give us our check! Never going back!!!"

"Absolutely not worth going to. Just like The Keys, Cantina 109 after 10 pm is nothing but nonstop gangsta rap all night, drawing in violent thug crowds and such. Stay away."
