Cantina Captiva: Latin Food With an Island Touch
Head south of the border while vacationing in southwest Florida: Cantina Captiva is your place on Captiva Island for Mexican and Tex-Mex cuisine, and a refreshing place to relax and enjoy the shade.
For a much-needed escape from the Florida sun, sit and enjoy your meal in the shade of Cantina Captiva’s leafy canopy surrounded by palm trees, agave plants, ferns and charming Spanish and southwestern decor. Take-out also is available for those wanting to enjoy the food from home.
Chef specialties include tequila-lime shrimp, brochetta mar y tierra (surf and turf kabobs served with spicy homemade satay sauce), and an enormous chile relleno dish (pablano peppers stuffed with ground beef and cheddar cheese). And you’d be remiss to not try the fish tacos on an island so famous for its fishing. Folks say the guacamole is a must-have as well. For children in your group, Cantina Captiva features a robust kid’s menu with cheese quesadillas, tacos, chicken fingers and corn dogs that are sure to satisfy their cravings.
At Cantina Captiva, the beverages are just as essential and delicious as the meal. Margaritas come in lime, strawberry or mango and are served either frozen or on the rocks. Sangria, a Spanish specialty, is another popular choice. Both beverages can be served by the glass or in pitchers, an ideal set-up for large parties vacationing together.
