First time trying Calico Cactus for breakfast today and we already can't wait to come back! The staff were all super friendly, helpful & kind. The restaurant is so clean with really nice indoor and outdoor seating options. We ordered MTD tacos, the Eggs on Your Face tacos, fresh squeezed OJ made to order, house made strawberry & passion fruit agua frescas, and an Americano. Every single thing was a 10/10! Absolutely loved that they serve fresh, scratch made flour tortillas. Even though we were stuffed, I had to grab a churro blondie bar to go. We will definitely be back! Thank you to the staff for a great experience! read more

Went to the soft opening of Calico Cactus (a modern taco shop, open for breakfast and lunch) and was wowed by everything about the place. The food was amazing, (I highly recommend the Scrambled Egg on your Face taco and the queso) the staff were so kind, and the store was clean and had a nice modern vibe. It opens soon and I can't wait to go! I know it will succeed! Just what St. Augustine needs! read more

Everything we ate was fabulous. Coffee tasted great and the honey badger latte was really delicious. Loved the fresh, hot tortillas and chips. Everyone of the staff we interacted with was welcoming, friendly and really helpful. read more

Stopped in for a few tacos at this new taco shop. The restaurant looks very nice and the staff is very friendly and hospitable. I ordered the squawk chicken taco and flame beef taco. They were just about to close so I ordered them to go. The food was ready quickly and even though I live 5 minutes away by the time I got home the food was barely warm and very soggy. The tacos did not look very good but were actually pretty tasty. The green sauce in the side was good. I found the tacos to be soggy with a mushy texture. Finished each taco in about 4 bites and I wished there was a bit more filling. $11 for two tacos that ate more like a snack than lunch. I will probably come back to try some breakfast tacos but 1st impression didn't knock my socks off. read more

Stopped by for a quick breakfast and 100% would stop by again and again. Ordered the Scrambled Eggs on Your Face and Texas Hold'em tacos and a passionfruit aguas frescas. The queso in the taco took something so simple to a whole new level, eggs were super fluffy, the flavor in the barbacoa brisket was 11/10, each of their salsas were great, and the freshly made tortillas really sealed the deal. I'm usually not a fan of breakfast tacos but I'd eat these every week if I could. Only downside about this restaurant is that it's in St. Augustine and I live in Tampa. Next time I find myself in the area, I'll definitely stop back in to try the rest of the menu. read more

We stopped in for a few minutes to get some drinks and a snack. What a welcoming place! The staff were super kind and generous and took pride in the fact that everything was made from scratch. The kids loved the queso and my cappuccino was great. We can't wait for a location to open up in Jacksonville later this year. read more

As soon as we stepped in the door, we were greeted and helped. Extremely friendly staff members walked us through the menu and explained gluten free options. Our toddler and baby were treated with kindness and immediately offered coloring sheets and crayons. We did not wait long at all for our food to be freshly cooked and brought to our table. The tacos were amazing! The Gf option was a corn shell and it was delicious. The restaurant was very clean and well kept. We are from out of town but we will certainly be back next time we come! read more

Amazing food and a chill ambiance the employees are always very nice and they even let me sample a few tacos for free as taste testing!

Stumbled into this place with heat stroke and sugar rock bottom. Had squawk on the street and fire to ice tacos with chips & queso. Pleasant atmosphere, clean with very attentive staff. Food was delicious. read more

This taco shop is super cute! Every single staff member greeted me with a smile and was extremely kind. Everything in my meal tasted fresh and delicious. The menu has a variety of tasty options, I particularly enjoyed their new rice bowl. Amanda, the manager, really goes above and beyond with service. You can tell she takes pride in what she does. Miranda prepared my food and handed it to me personally with an incredibly upbeat attitude. It's obvious that the staff love working there and together. I also enjoy the atmosphere. It's very clean and modern. Definitely not your average taco joint. Tacos and coffee - a dangerously awesome combo. read more

This place is not talked about enough! Best in st Aug in my opinion. So much different flavor it's really good the tacos have the greatest combination of things inside, The one with poblano pepper is so good I've tried almost all of them. The sweet mess sauce is another honorable mention. I love this place read more

This place was excellent!! Highly recommend! Good prices, fresh food, nice ambiance! Great customer service! We were greeted by a friendly staff member to explain the menu, give recommendations, and how to order. I had the scrambled eggs on your face breakfast taco. Delicious!! And the queso, OMG best I've ever had! Super experience over all and would recommend this place. We loved the coffee soo much we bought a bag of fresh coffee beans! I hope they add more of these restaurants to the panhandle area like Destin! read more

I love a good counter-service restaurant with freshly made food. We decided to order a variety and share to try different dishes, and honestly, everything was great. We got the Squawk on the Street, Fire from Ice, and We Happy Few for our tacos. For sides, we had the queso and chips along with the Tumbleweed Tots with cream cheese. Fire from Ice and the queso was our favorite, but it was all very good with quality ingredients. I also really appreciate that their entire menu is available from open to close, so if you're craving breakfast items during lunch hours, you're in luck. The staff was super friendly too. Support local and give it a try. read more

Great fresh Mexican food Staff super friendly and outgoing. Wish they were in Jax beach too!!!

We were met at the door with the best greeting. She welcomed us immediately but not in an overbearing way. She helped us understand the concept and the menu and she was able to answer all of our questions. They have only been there for 6 weeks when I asked and I expect them to be there many more. My wife and I ended up getting the Scrambled Eggs On Your Face and the M.T.D. breakfast tacos. The combination of the fresh tortilla, perfectly crunchy potatoes, and queso on the Eggs On Your Face was so good. The M.T.D. was equally as good. My wife ended up getting an M.T.D. to go for later. If you dine in, it's super clean and has a great modern vibe. They have a "Vestaboard" on the main wall which is a modern take on old school flip board. Changes with random facts, questions, and they even customized the message to welcome my Wife and I. Super kind staff and felt like we had been there many times, not our first. I ask that you give it at least one shot! We did and it won't be our last....sooo good. read more

Very friendly and helpful staff. The iced lattes are amazing. Affordable prices. Great for a quick in and out lunch.

The food was AMAZING and the staff was beyond friendly and welcoming!! Will be a dedicated customer!

This is exactly what Saint Augustine has been missing! The inside is nice with a good amount of seating. The staff is incredibly nice and friendly. The food is some of the best food I've ever had. Tortillas are made fresh and you can really taste the difference. read more

This place is awesome! We were greeted at the door by Celia and then chatted with in lined by Zeke. Amanda was fabulous, and checked on us multiple times. The food was heavenly! Between the four of us we got 9 different items and everything was top-notch. We raved about it throughout the day! read more

Tacos and cheese dip good and fresh. Friendly service and small menu for those who can't decide.

I don't often do reviews but I need to talk a bit about Calico Cactus. I'll admit, I'm very judgy when it comes to Mexican restaurants. My whole life I grew up eating Mexican food, lived on the Texas border and yes I'm part Mexican. There's a few things I take into consideration when proclaiming these so-called Mexican restaurants credible and they are by their tortillas and aguas frescas. Call me a taco snob, idc. Calico Cactus makes their flour tortillas in-house, you guys and they are de-li-cious. I had their Texas Hold'em barbacoa taco and their chorizo and egg Area 51 taco with a Lavender Latte and OMG they were amazing. Took a to-go order of another barbacoa taco (yes, I love barbacoa) w/ poblano peppers to wash down with their Watermelon agua fresca!! You, Calico Cactus, have made me a regular customer out of me. Btw, my husband and his colleagues had just been there earlier and sent me a text of approval. He loved their passion fruit agua fresca. We have a new go-to restaurant. I want to end this by adding how friendly their staff was. I was greeted by a very sweet lady whose name I didn't get. Sorry. Then I was approached by Amanda to check on my satisfaction. This establishment will have very satisfied employees. Thank you for chatting with me before heading to my doctors. I'll be looking forward to your seasonal aguas frescas *cough* cucumber water *cough* (I will buy it by the gallon btw) P.S. Their queso dip is superb! It has the perfect kick to it. read more

Robin greeted us at the door and she was so nice and helpful! A Gem! there was 4 of us and we all had different tacos and they were all delicious. Also had the Queso and chips! Cant wait to go back. read more

Wonderful addition to St. Augustine, and pretty darn good breakfast tacos. The eggs on your face was by far our favorite. The brisket one was really good as well. A coffee and one taco would be enough for most mornings. We will definitely be back! read more

Breakfast tacos are awesome and service was great. Everyone working were all so friendly and welcoming. If I were local, this would be my new favorite place for tacos everyday! Thanks for starting my day off right! Special thanks to the redhead working that embodies what southern hospitality is all about.....few kind words, warm smile, and a hot cup of coffee goes far to start a persons day off right. Thanks again! read more

I noticed this little place next to Diane's Market at Route 1 and 207. Decided to give it a quick try for lunch. The Calico Hash bowl was delicious and a great deal. I hadn't realized they're also a coffee and breakfast place. I'll definitely be coming back! read more

this restaurant has terrific atmosphere is comfortable and . We'd like to call out Amanda for her attention to her customers. She make sure that everyone is satisfied with their food and adds a personal touch getting to know you I want to get the word out about. Calico cactus because they're a great addition to the community. read more

The food is fantastic and the staff is very friendly and helpful. There is so many options here to try and the brisket is to die for. My wife and I travel from Fruit Cove to St. Augustine every chance we can. It's well worth it!! read more

Huh, surprised about the 4 star. My taco was cold, was told it was because of the sauce. Would have been much better at least warm. I wouldn't say 4, but maybe 3 for sure read more

The best tacos ever! The tortillas are made fresh in front of you and are light, not thick and heavy. Try the Texas Holdum! It is the best!

Incredibly friendly staff, inviting atmosphere, very clean, and absolutely delicious!! I cannot wait to go back- might make it a weekly ritual. read more
