Tio's Cantina at Hawk's Cay

Authentic Mexican dishes made with fresh ingredients and the flavors of the Yucatan make up the menu at Tio's Cantina. Margarita anyone? Tio offers up a full menu of tequila-based cocktails. Dine inside or out at this waterfront location. The food is authentic, the tequila is strong, and everyone is familia.

"Bland food. Place was full of noisy children. Good for families. Not for couples looking for a night out."

"This restaurant provided decent tex-mex food. The salsa and guacamole were good (not great). Bar service was slow. Waitress was friendly. On Duck Key, a person is limited to a small number of dinner choices without driving some distance to another Key to eat. This restaurant is decent for a warm meal, but certainly not with a special trip."
