"We went on a Wednesday for lunch. We arrived around noon. They open at 11:30. The atmosphere is quite nice. Very clean. The staff was very friendly and woefully understaffed. When we arrived there were two servers and one bartender. There were about 12 tables seated and two bar patrons when we arrived. While very friendly, the servers were unable to provide..." Read more

"New to Florida, we have been unable to find some good Mexican food. We asked some friends were to go and the both said "Cantina 109" in unison.My wife and I thought we'd give it a try and OMG, so glad we did. My wife had the shrimp tacos and loved them. I figured I'd try the Chili Rellenos since most places have a hard time getting it right. Well, not th..." Read more

"Very well run Mexican restaurant. Good menu ant the food was fresh. The waitstaff all wore masks inside and out. The portions were generous and tasty. You can make a reservation outside which is very important to us these days. Will be back."

"I went with a large group of friends for a late lunch after getting in at the Fort Meyers airport. We were looking for something that had outdoor seating, fresh/quality food, and a variety of options that would suit different palates and nutritional needs (including gluten free/dairy free options). They did a great job - the food was good, the service was so..." Read more

"It's really hard for me to rate any Mexican restaurant a five stars, because the menus are all really pretty much the same. That said, the restaurant is comfortable, and the food and service is good."

"On a visit to Fort Myers stopped here for an early dinner. When it comes to Tex-Mex we are very particular and this place did not disappoint! There were four of us and we had the Grouper Taco, a beef Chimichanga, Churros and Chicken Chimi along with a couple of House Margaritas, a couple of Blood Orange Margaritas and a Vera Cruz Mi Tai. The food and drinks..." Read more

"In the area, and needing dinner, we decided to stop in at Cantina109 on a late Sunday afternoon. Service was excellent, with a management walking the floor. At least two managers stopped by our booth to ask how are meal was. My diet coke was never empty and was re-filled at least 3 times without having to ask. Sirloin steak was very good and wife said her ta..." Read more

"Stopped here for dinner tonight. We didn't have reservations but were seated inside promptly. Our server wanted to take our drink order before we had a chance to look at the menu, but she left and came back a short time later. Very tasty margaritas. We shared a combo steak/chicken fajitas. The meat was delicious and skillet came out smokin'. We finished it a..." Read more

"The food here is the best Tex-Mex we've had in the Fort Myers area. This area just lacks good Mexican restaurants. Table side guac was really good and worth the money. I liked the enchiladas, another member of our group liked the chimichangas. The Tex-Mex rolls were average as was the Tamale platter. The house margaritas were weak, but that's the case in abo..."

We went to the bar that was large enough everyone that wanted a drink but no chips and salsa until we got our table about 30 minutes. Once seated our waitress Victoria was exceptiona..." Read more

We had a craving for some good Nachos and hoped we would find a Mexican restaurant in the Gulf Coast Town Center.We had never heard of Cantina 109, but they were open and we were hungry. We were not disappointed, the food was great and the service was excellent. I would recommend giving them a try. W..." Read more

"Delicious Tex-Mex and absolute great service! We asked Drew, our server, for fajitas and asked him for it with light oil and salt and he followed our request to the T. This barely happens! Thank you so much Drew! :)"

"We had dinner and we both ordered the chicken enchiladas with mole" sauce.

Food was very good with nice portions. The manager, Paul, is everywhere. This gentleman was bar tending, serving dishes from the kitchen, and stopping by tables to ensure everything was alright. Our waitress was very attentive too."

"Although it's in a plaza, it turned out to be a good meal. Try the grouper tacos, they are fantastic. Went for lunch service was great and the tacos were fantastic. You would expect it to be on the water for the quality of fish tacos. "

"I have a somewhat unique dietary need related to fats, and was very pleasantly surprised by the service and responsiveness. It is hard to find a Mexican restaurant that can prepare a very lowfat but authentic meal. The manager checked in twice with me, the chef did an super job of preparing my meal, and the food was great. My husband's meal was also good, an..." Read more
