    If you're looking for fresh, flavorful Tex-Mex that doesn't cut corners, Fresh-Mex & Co. in St. Johns is definitely worth a visit. Their motto, "Eat good, feel good, join us at our table," perfectly reflects the experience from start to finish. The restaurant has a fun, laid-back atmosphere with plenty of TVs, making it an excellent spot to catch your favorite sporting event while enjoying a great meal. Whether you choose to dine inside or on the outdoor patio, there's plenty of seating and ample parking, making it a convenient destination for families and groups. One thing I really appreciated was how spacious the dining area is. The tables are generously sized, the seating areas are spread out, and you never feel cramped, even when the restaurant is busy. The staff was also incredibly friendly, welcoming, and attentive, making the entire dining experience even more enjoyable. What immediately stood out was the freshness of the ingredients. Every bite was bursting with vibrant flavors that made my taste buds incredibly happy. The portions are generous, so come hungry! We sampled quite a variety from the menu, and everything was impressive. The California Style Steak Burrito was packed with tender steak, fresh ingredients, and creamy guacamole wrapped in a perfectly grilled tortilla. The Barbacoa Taco featured slow-cooked, ancho chili-infused shredded beef that was incredibly tender and full of authentic Mexican flavor. The L.I.F.E. Bowls (Life Inspired Food for Energy) were another highlight. Loaded with organic rice, black beans, fire-roasted corn, fresh pico de gallo, crispy tortilla strips, and topped with perfectly seasoned blackened shrimp and blackened mahi-mahi, these bowls were both wholesome and delicious. The Nacho Fries were pure comfort food--crispy fries generously topped with flavorful chorizo, creamy queso, fresh pico de gallo, and diced jalapeños for just the right amount of heat. We finished the meal with the Churros, coated in cinnamon sugar and served with rich chocolate dipping sauce--a sweet ending that hit the spot. The beverage menu is just as impressive, offering a wide variety of handcrafted margaritas, wines, ice-cold beers, cocktails, and other refreshing drinks to pair perfectly with your meal. Whether you're stopping in for lunch, happy hour, or dinner, there's something for everyone. Fresh-Mex & Co. also offers fantastic weekday lunch specials, happy hour from 2:30-6:00 p.m., and if you love tacos and margaritas, Taco Tuesday is hard to beat with taco platters and 2-for-1 margaritas. From the fresh ingredients and generous portions to the lively atmosphere, spacious seating, outstanding drink selection, and exceptionally friendly service, Fresh-Mex & Co. delivers an outstanding dining experience. Whether you're craving authentic tacos, hearty burritos, fresh seafood, or simply want a great place to watch the game with friends, this restaurant checks all the boxes. I'll definitely be back to explore more of their menu.

    This was the first time we tried this place. Adequate parking near Sprouts and lots of seating. You order at the counter and they bring out the freshly prepared meals. There is a self service condiments and beverage area at the back. Staff were friendly. Restrooms were clean.

    Stopped by Fresh Mex & Co on 210 and had such a great meal! We started with the elotes, which were packed with flavor and the perfect appetizer. The steak burrito was huge, flavorful, and loaded with quality ingredients, while the shrimp fajitas came out sizzling and tasted fresh and delicious. Everything felt made to order, and the portions were generous. Great local spot for fresh, tasty Mexican food--we'll definitely be coming back!

    Corn Dip
    Katie B.

    Came for drinks and apps for a friend's birthday. Sat on the patio near the bar window. Service was quick. We ordered a variety of drinks and a few apps: chips & queso and street corn dip. The queso was a 7/10 (it's yellow and most of us in the group prefer white). The corn dip is served warm. It wasn't as flavorful as I expected, but not bad for a shareable for the group.

    Birria Bowl
    Marialuisa M.

    Came in today on Saturday, out to try something new before going about my day evening. I came in an the young girl in the front who took my order was great super kind, as was everyone else who I interacted with. Customer service was there 10/10. Food was a 3/10 I ordered the Birria Bowl $17.50. I ordered it, sat at the bar and in less than 5minutes the food was served. Shocking, once looking at the dish my appetite diminished, I am aware the dish was "Tex-Mex" but ughhh this is the 3rd "Mexican" spot in Saint Augustine/Jax I try that is anything but what I am used to as being authentic from California. Since I ordered Birria I expected to see my meat drenched in consume with lots of diced onions, cilantro full of flavor. The meat tasted like barbacoa, the sauce tasted like caldo de res, and there were big chunks of jalapeño. I really wasn't feeling it. Came with a side of chips with queso melted pepper jack maybe. I also ordered a bar drink mexican old fashioned. All in all food experience wasn't there.

    Carne asada tacos
    Jen A.

    Tried this place out today for the first time and it was great. I had the carne asada tacos, and as their appetizer we had their esquites with chips and a side of salsa. They had the barbacoa bowl. The only thing I would say is that the margarita was a bit too sweet and the tortillas for my tacos were cold. Our server was great. The place was well lit and they also had outdoor seating. Would def give this place another chance.

    Decent vibe, tvs, full liquor bar. Food was ok. Nothing horrible but nothing special. If anything, it all leaned a little bland. It's counter service for the most part. Wouldn't make a special trip but probably decent for a lunch spot.

    Chicken quesadilla
    Terry A.

    Great location with a fresh restaurant/bar ambiance. There are 3 ways to order, walk up to the counter, use the QR code at your table or they will come to take your order.Since it was our first time here, we decided to sit at a table.. we waited a few minutes to see if a server would come to take our order, but after seeing many people order at the counter and the table servers focusing on the bar area, we decided to use the QR code. We ordered a trio appetizers which includes guacamole, queso and salsa, a quesadilla, three tacos and two soft drinks. Bill was $45, before tip. The trio arrived quickly along with two empty cups, for the self-serve fountain drinks and iced tea. Sour cream is also self serve along with silverware. Paper towel rolls are on the table (which were very thin and rough in texture) like white bathroom paper towels. The entrees arrived not long after the appetizer, so you didn't really have time to enjoy the apps. The quesadilla was listed on the menu as including black beans, but when it arrived it only had cheese and chicken and was very bland. I would not return for food, but might go to enjoy some cocktails, but since we didn't order any, I'm not sure how their bar prices compare.

    Jalapeño Margarita
    Macy C.

    Fantastic! We are at the bar and Grace was 10/10 fantastic to order with! Full accuracy of orders, easy accommodation for my need for different drink make, and pleasant disposition!The Birria-Dilla was incredible, in flavor and value! We also had the queso nachos and that flavor was amazing! The chorizo was what really made them for sure.

    Premium Margarita
    Ken J.

    I ordered a simple kids bowl (chicken, rice, beans, cheese, and a side of chips) and was kinda blown away by how fresh it tasted. Most restaurant food tastes like restaurant food but this was such great quality. I waited until 2pm to order from the happy hour menu ($3 off margaritas and other drinks) and got the Premium Marg. I'm so used to places giving premixed drinks that this also blew me away. He made it right in front of me and it was spectacular. Perfect ration, brimming with flavor. Front staff were kind to me and each other, which I appreciated observing. This is going to be our new go-to for a while now.

    My mom and I decided to try this restaurant just passing by it. Food was great, it was during their transition period during lunch so we were only two there but we sat outside & the ambiance was nice out there. Our waitress was very nice. My mom got three tacos - two steak and 1 shrimp and I got the quesadilla. They both came with their own chips & salsa so no need to buy the chips and salsa appetizer. I wish I took better pics but we ate everything up before I could remember! I didn't order an alcoholic beverage but I've included the menu for you.

So we go there intentionally, it is not en route to anywhere. The food is normally amazing. Except today. The chili relleno was a single chili, for $17, I'm sure there used to be two? For $17. The plate looked barren, especially when my son had the new spicy burrito which was huge, and my wife had a beef Chimichanga which was a full meal, with salad, and guacamole. There's was delicious. My chili relleno was singularly the worst one I have ever had. I normally gauge a Mexican restaurant on their ability to make a relleno, historically this place has been good, today, obviously the standards are slipping. PLEASE improve, you're my favorite place, please don't slip into average! The photo is the egg capeada batter, not fluffy, inedible, chicken skin texture. Although I was told it was me not understanding how batter is made! They did not charge for the Relleno, thank you. Service was good, as always.

Today my husband and I had a disappointing experience. We waited an inordinate time for the waitress who after about 5-10 minutes stopped for a few moments to tell us she would be back. No offer of drinks. Bit of a wait longer to place order. Order came without onion rings I'd ordered. She forgot to add them. She never checked to see if food was ok or make sure our drinks were refilled, which is a huge pet peeve. I got the onion rings after we were finished with meal and they are outrageously spicy. There is no mention of spicy batter on menu so it was very disappointing to have inedible side. Not to mention that my drink was empty which added to the misery. I did tell her when she finally came to table that I was disappointed in the service with lack of checking on us at all after food was delivered and she apologized and said she had double seating and also agreed that the onion rings do have quite a kick and that should be mentioned on menu. Overall disappointing

The floors were sticky and our shoes stuck to the floor. The women's restroom was out of order. The kiosks seem like a good idea but nobody there to ask questions or to get your drinks. If you can catch one of the two people working as they bring out orders you are lucky. The menus on the kiosks are pretty informative though and tell the ingredients for each item. Kiosk automatically adds 20% tip unless you change it. Considering you don't have any interaction with employees until they bring out your order other tipping options might apply. They cook to order which is nice except you don't get your drinks or your appetizers until it's your turn. There is a comment section to type no tomatoes or special instructions. Mine still came out with tomatoes but they promptly remade it for me. The food is pretty good. No complaints there other than having to remake one of my tacos. The chips and queso was pretty good. Chips were dusted with spices and served hot. We tried 6 different tacos and they were all very good. The tortillas were toasted on the grill which makes a big difference. You can get flour or corn tortillas. The chicken and steak were marinated before grilling and were big cubes and plentiful. The menu has a pretty big variety including a kids menu with chicken and fries. The last comment is their fountain machine for drinks. The coke tasted off. They may need to recalibrate it. Drinks are served in small clear throw away cups and the lids don't fit very well. Refills are hard to get. You have to wait for someone to come out of the back. If these small complaints don't bother you the food is very good.
