This is a great new restaurant in Naples! The food was fantastic - not the usual quality in a Mexican restaurant, but definitely a cut above. Clean new decor creates good ambiance, good prices & attentive service too, but it’s the food & beverages we’ll go back for. Highly recommend!

I had an amazing visit to Caiman Cantina! The service was top-notch from start to finish . Calvin and CJ were both incredible. They were attentive, friendly, and on top of everything, which made the whole experience even better.
The food was outstanding. The burrito was packed with flavor and perfectly cooked, and the enchiladas were rich, comforting, and absolutely delicious. You can tell everything is made with care.
And if you love a little kick, do yourself a favor and try the spicy jalapeño margarita. It was the perfect balance of heat and freshness easily one of the best margaritas I’ve had.
Highly recommend this place for great food, great drinks, and even better service. I’ll definitely be back!

Excellent food. Excellent service. The food was fresh and delicious, and the staff was very friendly and helpful. Thank you Caiman Cantina for finally bringing some good Mexican food to the Naples area. I’m from Texas and have been searching for some good Mexican food around here for a long time without much luck until now. I don’t understand some of the negative reviews. My experience was great. It is to be expected that a new business, especially a restaurant, will have some minor hiccups to work out in the beginning, but I didn’t see any of that. I think they are doing an exceptional job. My only recommendation would be to consider adding some authentic Mexican music or Spanish guitar to the playlist instead of the top 40. Regardless, I will be back very soon!

We are so pleased with our dinner at Caiman Cantina last night. I had the Taco Salad and my husband had the FLA Enchilda and it was amazing, the service was great, prices were very reasonable and it was a perfect dinner. Will be back

After reading all the great reviews, I was really hopeful, but our visit didn’t reflect the same experience. It may have just been an off night, but service was extremely slow and the team looked overwhelmed with not enough help. The food was just okay—cold queso, no chip refills—and overall it just didn’t meet expectations.

The food was excellent, especially the appetizers. And, we discovered that Lauri, longtime Mixologist from the Southbeach restaurant on Fort Myers Beach is working there!

Wouldn't call it authentic. I guess I have high expectations because of El Local. El Local San Carlos Park area best Mexican food yet. Always looking for great quality tasting food. Not here.

Lunch was awesome. My food wasn’t overly spicy. My friend’s food was spicer. However you want it. Guacamole was outstanding along with the rice. Many times rice tastes old and is hard. Will definitely be back. Service was also outstanding.

Took my wife and kids for dinner and we had a wonderful meal. The food was great and the drinks were delicious according to my wife with her strawberry margaritas. lol Our server and the managers were super friendly and attentive. The one thing that just made it extra special for our family was the staff’s graciousness to accommodate my wife’s request. She had ordered one of the burritos but wanted it deep fried like a chimichanga…and the server and kitchen staff made it happen. She didn’t want to make it a habit to alter any menu item at any establishment so she was so surprised that they were willing to do that for her. Anyways, we would definitely come back and if I can recommend a particular dish, the burritos were awesome!
First time visiting an absolutely love the entire experience. As soon as we entered, we were greeted with a warm welcome. We were given a choice of where to sit and decided to sit in the bar and enjoy meeting Leo and Donovan. Absolutely excellent service from Lyon and great recommendations on trying a few different margaritas. I enjoyed a spicy margarita and Nancy enjoyed a classic margarita. We split a fajita dinner and it was wonderful. The only suggestion I would make is the filet was extremely tender, but it lacked a little bit of flavor mexican style but all around the entire evening was ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ When we left Leo walked us out and opened the door for us. I think we found our new favorite neighborhood bar. We did notice your happy hour and I do feel like the happy hour should be extended to 6 PM. We have not enjoyed this but it’s just a recommendation.

Visited Caimon Cantina for the first time last night & loved everything. Their signature margarita is absolutely spot on.
Everyone in my party loved their entrees & I personally enjoyed the enchiladas with their delicious molé sauce. Thank you Greg & Kelly for the great service. Can’t wait to come back!

Great experience, manager with glasses was very nice and extremely knowledgeable. Our server Sol was attentive and recommended the quesabirria which was AMAZING. Highly recommend. They also have a nice rewards program which sol walked us through.
Drinks were amazing as well. We started off with the house margarita and the manager suggested trying one of the signature cocktails, it was delicious kiwi flavored cocktail that was so smooth. My partner was also impressed with the variety and price point. Overall, highly recommend. Quick, affordable and tasty.

Absolutely incredible experience! From the moment we walked in, Greg and CJ made us feel like family — their warm welcome and spot-on recommendations set the tone for a perfect evening. The food was authentic, vibrant, and bursting with bold New Mexican flavor — every bite was fresh and unforgettable. Melissa, our server, went above and beyond with her kindness and attentiveness, especially helping my wife find the perfect drink. The service, atmosphere, and quality here are all top-notch. Naples has a new gem — we can’t wait to come back and bring friends!
