"Charged my card $25 when I ordered one $4 drink. Closed out my tab, tipped in cash and my receipt said $4.26. Scammers. Also had a promotion for $4 drinks but when my friend I was with ordered two drinks they said $15 wasn't enough ?"

"Paid the entry fee for the bar after 10 pm. We attempted to enter the outside porch but we accidentally walked out the front. When we tried to re-enter to get to the porch they told us we couldn't re enter. As a result we disputed the charges. Very rude that they have no respect for us even though we spent so much money on drinks so that we can just move to..." Read more

"Ate here for the 2nd time. Sign outside said "fajita for two $34.99." We ordered steak fajita for two and when it arrived, it only had a few pieces of steak on the entire platter. I only ate one small fajita and gave the rest of the meal to my starving husband. 7oz of meat at best and two of the ounces were gristle. Very disappointed."

"Frozen Margarita was sweet and almost virgin. No tang. Chips were loaded with flavor dust. Got the wet burrito. Almost no meat at all. Tasted like cafeteria food. And the burrito was half the size of a regular burrito at any number of other Mexican restaurants in Ft Myers. Only redeeming food was the fried plantain side. Hard to mess those up I guess. Sadly..." Read more

"We just had a meal at this restaurant and must honestly say service was excellent, food was nothing even close to standard, margarita was mediocre, food similar! Definitely the worst "Mexican" experience of the past 22 years, this is what I would call a "will not see me again " restaurant!"

"We stopped in, craving TexMex, after a local event. We were seated immediately, but it took quite a while for anyone to reach us about drink and menu orders. I noticed that each table receives exactly ONE order of chips and salsa. After that, the menu makes it plain, that additional chips are $2.oo, and additional salsa is $2.oo. That's... a little n..."

"One and done. Take out dinner of table side guacamole, two dinners and two margaritas. Got home. No guacamole @ 12.49 plus tax & tip. Tried calling multiple times - a recording. Never again."

"Victoria the waitress was nice . Food was ok. I was quite surprised to see a mouse running around . I told Victoria (who also saw it) who called Mike, the manager . He came over and apologized and left . Couldn't have been  too concerned since when we left he was outside on the patio chatting with guests ."

"Food is absolutely disgusting! Then another server and her friend hanging out next to my table at POS chatting. Talking about how much her new tattoo itches and pick scabs. Then serve my drink by the rim. Of course she didn't was her hands. Nasty. Food cold anyways"

"Used to love this restaurant pre COVID. First time back since 2020, horrible experience. Salsa tastes like vinegar. Chips over salted and stale. Server didn't fill waters quickly enough and with Mexican food, especially if spicy, water is needed. My order came out incorrectly. Food overall quality significantly worsened. Server kept pushing apps when we just..." 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

"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

"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!"

"Cantina 109 is unprofessional and not worth your time! After they charged a 10$ entrance fee, my friends and I were harassed by security not even 5 minutes in. Later that night, I ended up getting kicked out of the bar and throw on the ground by security. The fall injured my wrists and when they threw me on the ground they broke my chain necklace. They told..." Read more

"We got lunch to go here. This place was so bad. Both myself and the other guy got so sick from eating here. It took almost 24 hours before we could eat anything. The hotel person said she had heard they were selling expired food. I don't even remember what I had, it had chicken in it, but I didn't want to look at food for the rest of the day. ..." Read more

"Worst bartender i've ever encountered, she is brunette kinda tall and either has her hair in a bun or two low ponytails. she always has an attitude and skips over people if they don't tip her every time. One time she asked me if I was tipping her and I said if you can make me a drink. She said you didn't tip me the last time I made a drink for you and slamme..." Read more

"So once you buy the blue cup is all you can drink for free or free drink as long as you tip your bartender. She is so unprofessional, she literally only helps people with money in there and I believe in tipping but only when you deserve it. A bunch of people are requesting drinks and she on her phone, don't even bother with go to her go to nice other bartend..." Read more

"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 "

"Food is good. Service is horrendous. They seat you and no one comes to your table. You have to flag someone down for service. Management must not have a clue on how to implement good service."

"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
