"Over price for what you get. I ordered a skirt steak, it was chewy and small. The sides were small as well. They give you salsa and chips that's a plus. The environment was pleasant. But I really wasn't impressed with the food."

"If you go to a Tequila bar & order a Margarita one would expect it to have "limes".  This wasn't disclosed until after the order.  The manager explained it was too expensive to purchase them from Target due to his supplier not meeting the demand.  The food was marginal.  We won't be return customers. Mexican food is a favorite but this place wasn..." Read more

"I had the ceviche and the steak fajitas. Ceviche was fine, not great but not bad.  Fajitas on the other hand was a huge disappointment.  Smelled good when it arrived but steak was overcooked and lacked flavor."

"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."

"We've been to this restaurant several times over the past five years, but last night's visit was our first in over a year (Covid concerns.) In the past, food quality has been mediocre, at best. Last night, it was almost inedible. I ordered Chile Rellenos. What was served was NOT prepared on-site. It was a factory-made concoction. The egg batter coating was p..." 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..."

"The portions are small and the fajitas don't even come with rice or beans. The service was subpar. I mean the place was empty and I had to track down my server for extra waters. The price are higher than average for what you get, compared to the other Mexican Restaurants."

"I'm not the type to leave reviews.. usually just read them but I have strong opinions about this restaurant. I want to start my saying that out waiter was the best part, good job. My partner and I ate here tonight because we had a gift card and decided once we saw the prices to not go over the $25 gift card too much, so we skipped the margaritas...." Read more

"Terrible service, we didn't see our server until about 15 minutes after being sat down. We ordered our drinks and our server didn't even wait for us to finish our order before she was walking away. We waited 20 minutes for our drinks, 30 minutes for our appetizer and 1 hour for our food. Our server kept saying the kitchen was backed up, but there was about 4..." Read more

"The place was really empty, greated and seated promptly, the restaurant was very clean and the waitress was very pleasant. I found $6 drafts to be small 10oz and my wife skipped the $12 ritas. The food came out slowly and had no flavor to it, it was not seasoned and found it to be blah, the chips and salsa were nice and fresh. This place is in an outdoor mal..." Read more

"We heard it was hard to get good Mexican food in this area but were hopeful about this option, unfortunately the food was sub par. The vegetarian fajitas had NO flavor whatsoever. They also didn't come with a side of beans and rice (what?!). My son said his hamburger tasted like rubber. The refried beans I added on the side were also flavorless. To add insul..." Read more

"I never ate the lunch I hoped to have!  I placed my order with the bartender on a very slow Saturday at Cantina, but then she was distracted by a couple's billing discrepancy.  After two rounds of discussion with the manager and delivering another patron's check, she swung by 15-20 minutes later to ask if everything was OK.  I asked if  she had placed my ord..."

"I was delightfully disappointed in this restaurant. The only thing worthwhile was the salsa. Are silverware and food had the reminiscence of a Mexican chow hall. If I was the owner I would be embarrassed to have that kind of silverware laying out. I'm pretty sure I owned the same set when I first went to college. literally, they bought mine at a yard sale an..." Read more

"We went for Cinco De Mayo.   We sat for 15 or more minutes before we finally got a drink.  I had to beg that server to wait on us.  The menu was limited.  School lunch was better than their WAY OVER PRICED limited menu.  No they were not very busy when we were there.  We will try again on a regular night."

"After movie Wife & I went to Cantina 109 around 3p.m. and ordered the Wednesday $9.99 Special: Enchaladas, 1 chicken, 1 beef and 4 draft beers. Waitress never introduced herself. I had to ask her name. When plates arrived I was disappointed in Enchiladas. They were small/thin, expecting more fillings. Beef had good flavor, chicken was bland. Scant sour c..." Read more

"I'm sure if you're going for happy hour, the bar..... the drinks, look great. The food.... not so much. It was bland, not memorable.... we both got the fajita's as we figured it was a safe bet in an americanized tex-mex joint. We were going based on the request of a third party. They were edible... save your money, even if someone else is buying. I highly re..." Read more

"We really thought this would be good but we were let down. The menu is very limited and the food was so so. We definitely have had much better. We found the prices to be a Bit high for what we got. Mine was ice cold when it was delivered to our table. I mean ICE cold. It must have sat while my husbands was being made. Not good. Won't return. Not with so many..." Read more

"The food is what you expect at a Mexican restaurant. We have been here multiple times, usually during the week and the service has been very slow every time. Not sure why it takes 20 minutes to bring out 2 plates of tacos on taco Tuesday but it is slow! Don't come here if you are looking for a quick meal."

"Not bad, do not get me wrong. I just have a problem with the service. I have been here twice and both times the waitresses have been snotty and very cold. The food takes a very very long time and it's kinda just... eh. The food is bland and doesn't really have much flavor. They also charge you for every refill you get and they always neglect mentioning that..." Read more

"When you think of Mexican food you should think bland. This was some of the worst Mexican food I have ever had. The food simple didn't have any flavor from the pork on the street tacos to the beans and rice it came with. Even the margaritas lacked proper balance. The reason for the two stars instead of one is the service was pretty good and the table side gu..." Read more

"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,..."

"Made the mistake of coming for dinner on a Saturday night.There was a large group at the bar, and since there is no wall between the bar area and the restaurant, the noise really carried. We were there with friends and couldn't talk to one another because we couldn't hear. Once the noisy bar group left, it was still loud. The food was just "okay..." Read more
