This was an excellent stop. We had purchased the Explorer's Passport at the vistor's center. It included a small discount at a couple restaurants so that brought us here. But discount aside, still an excellent stop. An excellent run flight for my spouse... a great gin and tonic for me using St. Augustine Distillery gin... and GREATFOOD. My spouse had amazing fish tacos, the guacamole we shared was well prepared... I had the big boy burrito with pork-- very good! My kiddos eliminated alll thebwxcelent ingredients from the burgers but even as basic burgers they were expertly prepared... and my one niece had steak soft tacos-- all looked excellent. Really... it was all great. Good service both from the bar and dining area and the food and drinks were all great!
We picked this place for lunch because of my hubby's obsession with fish tacos. The Baja tacos looked amazing in the pictures. The outdoor seating was more appealing to us than the indoor. We had a view of the colonial quarter next door. Hubby order the grilled swordfish tacos which were a special. These were really good with the freshest grilled corn salsa. I ordere the Baja fish tacos. These were great except for the breading. They would be perfect grilled but because of the cilantro cream dressing and cabbage slaw, the breading lost its crispness. The beans on the side were tasty too.
Lovely quaint place and good food. The place can get a little tight inside, but there is a large outdoor terrace. There is no fans outside however, so it gets way too hot outside on summer days. Ordered carne asada tacos. They were fantastic. The meat was fresh and really flavorful. Comes with a side of rice and beans which is a nice bonus. Downside is it only brings two tacos. Solid place to come eat while walking through the old town.
We came to St Augustine to see the Night of Lights and decided to get food on St. George Street and afternoon trying multiple restaurants with long waits, we stumbled into Taberna del Caballo. The wait staff greeted us and was super polite as we sat down immediately and received complimentary chips and salsa which was delicious and much needed! Our server was very polite and the wait time for our food was fairly short. I got the Cuban sandwich and my girlfriend got the mix and match tacos with Carne Asada and Fish as her choice. The Cuban was delectable with everything super hot, a great amount of mustard, pickle and mayo to cut the juiciness pork and the fries were a perfect side dish! The tacos were also really tasty with a great side dish of rice and beans. I was glad the other places were so busy so we found a gem like this!
Great great atmosphere with the pups. It was nice and shaded with a great ambiance. We sat down and started with street corn that comes on the Cobb and some Patatas Bravas. These are not your typical version of Patatas Bravas. They are more of French fries with lots of paprika and a dipping sauce. It was good, just not what I expected. The salad and fish was the best. Really fresh. The fish tacos were fabulous too. Not too much of a heavy breading and balanced with a good slaw. The streak tacos had crispy bacon in them which was really unique. My fiancé loved it. The refried beans were not our favorite but to be honest I have never had any I was thrilled with. Good time and they even brought water out for our three dogs. We had McKayla as a server and she was really friendly and sweet. And got our order right the first time :). Thanks girl! The drinks were pretty decent too. The bartender actually knew what a French 75 was so that is always a plus in my book. Overall great spot in St. Augustine, FL. Especially if you have pups.
We're visiting from NY ... and this place called St. Agustin is awesome. We stopped at this restaurant for dinner and let me tell you... we had wings with Guava BBQ sauce.. beer, cocktails, loaded nachos, Tapas, and for dessert we got this sweet plantains with caramel cinnamon sauce and vanilla ice cream on top OMG TO DIE FOR. I def recommend this place and if we have the chance to come back and visit again, we'll def come back to this restaurant.
I had a delicious whiskey sour here! We also ordered some raw oysters and conch fritters which were amazing as well. This place is so cozy and cute and the perfect place to stop in town.
I find myself stopping by here whenever I'm in St Augustine. I do like this place. I mainly go here for the bar. I love the sangría. It's very sweet, which I like. It's rustic and somewhat romantic. Unfortunately, the service is not always the best. They usually have Spanish music playing. Live music on the weekends. Picnic tables are the outside seating. I have tried a few items on their menu, and I have enjoyed all of them. But, the food is not the main reason why I come here, it's the ambiance.
Colton was our friendly bartender and server. The tapas plate we ordered was good. It was my first time enjoying tapas. The white sangria was delicious. A humble place with good food and service.
Caverna de Caballo, Saint Augustine November 16, 2018 Stopped by this place for a quick lunch. This place used to be something else but I don't remember. We were seated and the waitress came by to say hello and to take our drink order. We weren't really hungry so we ordered a beer, a lemonade and shared an appetizer. The waitress was really attentive. The place was really cool. However, the shared appetizer was not what's was listed on their menu but it was delicious. Not really expensive. Good service, great place, good prices. Would we go back again?? Yes!!
This is a great lunch or light dinner spot hidden in the quarter. I've been here a couple of times now and the food was surprisingly tasty. The menu is diverse enough for the pickiest of eaters. The salads are big enough to share and the Cuban sandwich is pretty big, too. Both items are very flavorful and recommended. The St. George Salad is a tasty one with really yummy balsamic dressing. It was loaded with tons of veggies, cranberries and nuts--a solid salad with tons of flavors and textures going on for sure, but in a good way. The Cuban sandwich was delicious and had a lot more roasted pork inside it than I expected. It was also served with kettle chips. The fish tacos were an excellent choice and big enough for a nice meal. They give you two large tacos served with sauces that just work really well together. So good! And if you bring the kiddos, they have a special menu for them that won't break the bank. They have an assortment of flatbreads and tapas from which to choose depending on your appetite. Kids' pizza is pretty much flatbread pizza with a thin crust, sauce and cheese. No frills but pretty darn good if they don't manage to finish it. Items are also served with potato chips. My last visit, I had a Bloody Mary and it was beautifully decorated with a large green olive, a nice chunk of chorizo and slice of sundried tomato speared on a toothpick complete with a salt and pepper rim. However, the actual drink was just OK and could have used a lot more vodka. Overall, this place is very understated, but the food is solid. The service is decent for being right on St. George St. and they have a good sized bar inside if you're on a liquid lunch. Options to eat at the bar or inside dining areas (air conditioned with fans) or outside on their spacious deck is an added plus. However, the food is definitely worth the visit.
Loved the corn app. Found the cauliflower tacos to be dry & lacking something - the chili sauce helped. Next time I would ask for the fries and top them with the pork from the torta ahogado along with their chili sauce. Yum!
Upon checking out posted menu my husband and I decided to check out this restaurant, we had our choice of indoor or outdoor seating and chose outdoor. After being sat it took close to 15 minutes for server to come take our drink order. Our server Vanessa was nice enough but she had 2 tables with larger parties and my husband and I seemed to be forgettable as patrons. I ordered the Mexican Street Corn and was rather disappointed with it, besides not being very hot it was rather tasteless. I also had the Big Boy burrito, my husband had the Dirty Rice bowl. Both had okay flavor but arrived so quickly and were not very hot either, we imagine they were prepared earlier in the evening and then warm in microwave. The beverage prices of a bit high for soft drinks but other price were not that bad. We will probably not return.
Service kind of slow! Cute little place. Just grabbed a ginger beer here and I loved it! Spicy too! Made in the USA! We were not hungry maybe next time in town we'll try a bite. Told my husband that I even love the color of the beer. Hubby got Blue Chiar spice rum with coke. They don't carry Captain Morgan spice rum. Kind of dark which I really don't care for dark places but it wasn't too bad. Service can be better! read more
We only stopped in for drinks but the drinks were amazing! Mikala(sp?) was mixing some great drinks and even talked me into trying a old fashioned made with a peanut butter flavored whiskey. It was delicious! Very laid back place with some really friendly people. read more

Small bar but cute. Every body going in but no place to seat. Only 6 people at the bar and one table in front. They have a nice space around the bar that they can used if they clear the walk and have a bartender on that side. But I really recommend to everyone because server, drinks and food are very good and price aré razonable. read more
I really wanted this place to be good. Really, really did. But it just wasn't.. My friend and I were first drawn to this place because of its outside patio, which is honestly probably the best part. This place is really good with aesthetics. Our food looked good and the outdoor seating looked good, but the food tasted not so much good. We started with a sampling platter with meats and cheeses. It's kind of hard to mess this kind of thing up, but it wasn't my favorite. The whole thing was covered with balsamic and there was a huge pile of artichokes and I just wasn't entirely into it. I kind of felt like each part of it was chewy and the components lacked the freshness I normally like in a charcuterie plate. On the other hand, like I mentioned before- it really was pretty. We also ordered a liter of red sangria, which was actually not bad. Not really any complaints, it was sweet, had fruit, was served in a carafe and did the trick. Next followed flatbreads. This was when things got a little interesting. I ordered the pulled pork flatbread and for lack of a better explanation I think the cheese had gone bad. It was wafting this smell that honestly made me nauseous. I barely ate a piece and ended up throwing the leftovers away the next day. My friend ordered the shrimp and chorizo flatbread which was actually kind of comical because it had almost the exact components of the mezze platter but just on a flatbread. TAKEAWAY- I'd bring family or friends here to sit outside on the patio and drink sangria, especially if they have live music, but that's IT. Don't waste time or $ on the actual food. read more
Drink sangria Red or white you can't go wrong We have been here several times on multiple vacations. We really enjoy the live music, sangria and small plates. It is a great place to take a rest when you are shopping on St. George street. read more
Enjoyed a leisurely Sunday lunch here with some out of town friends. Food was above average, drinks were superb, staff was excellent, and the atmosphere was lovely. Was happy to find a non chain restaurant in St Aug that seemed to have pride in their restaurant and truly appreciated our business. Enjoyed the live music- I could see myself losing track of time sipping some beer and cocktails on their patio enjoying the live music. read more

Good food found on the main drag in historic St. Augustine. Simple food at a decent price. The indoor seating at night is quite dark, but the outdoor seating is the place to be. The covered patio has twinkling lights and has live music almost every night. The food is great and the appetizers are great for sharing. Their wings are really good, but the hummus lacked flavor. The Cuban sandwich was delicious, but as much as I love shrimp and grits I was disappointed buy the salty chorizo and oily gravy. read more

We love this bar since 2003 and the fact that they have added food is such an excellent bonus. The staff was amazing and the atmosphere was just super as always. Sangria is a must be it white or red and they have a good selection of cocktails and beers. Food was great and the timing was perfect. Always a stop on a St. Augustine visit. read more

I came here during a historic pub crawl and did not regret it! This bar was unique due to the structure of the building and overall atmosphere. My boyfriend and I shared a rum flight recommended by Vivian, who was the chillest bartender I have ever met! I did not get to explore too much of the bar due to the limited time there with the tour and it was dark out. I also did not get to try any food, if they have any. This place is easy to miss during the day however I do recommend to stop in if you can and try the rum flight! read more

Mixed reviews on the food. I ordered clam chowder which was tasty, packed full of veggies and clams. Also ordered hummus, which was perhaps the best hummus I've ever had! Sangria was also amazing!! So why 3 stars? Children's grilled cheese was cold and not very good. Of any meal a grilled cheese sandwich should not be cold. Service was great but that cold grilled sandwich will stick in our memory. read more
My first time in St. Augustine and it took us a while to decide on a place to eat but Taberna's menu looked pretty good and I was excited to try some of their items. They started us off with salsa and chips which everyone liked. I started off with the nachos which I loved and could definitely eat again. As for the main entrees, I got the carne asada tacos which had crispy bacon and fries in the taco. I was amazed and it was so delicious. My friend got the Baja tacos and it was with their catch of day, which was flounder. We also ordered the chicken sandwich and the rice bowl with chicken. I also loved the outdoor seating because the weather was perfect that day and it wasn't too hot. I would definitely come back again to try some of their other dishes on the menu. read more

We were walking down St. George in search of food after a horrible dinner experience elsewhere (Centro, and the review of that is posted on Yelp as well) where I couldn't even eat. We have walked past Taberna del Caballo a thousand times, but I guess I assumed it was just touristy. I couldn't have been more wrong. From the moment we walked in we were treated wonderfully. The music and atmosphere were great, and our waiter was awesome. But best of all was the fabulous, reasonably priced food. We started with the Spanish Tapas platter. I ordered the small, and when it came out, it was so huge my husband was convinced there was a mistake and we'd received the large. We were thrilled when the check confirmed that it was the $10.00 version. A bargain for sure--chock-full of luscious Spanish salamis, apricots, figs, walnuts, artichoke hearts, roasted red peppers, excellent cheese with a balsamic reduction drizzle, and crispy baguette toasts. The cocktails were amazing, including my new favorite summer cocktail, the Old Spaniard. Aged rum, prosecco, mint, triple sec, and lime. So, so good! For dinner I had the MTR burger, described on the menu as "A 1/2 lb. Proprietary Blend of Brisket, Short Rib, and Chuck with Crispy Serrano Ham, Lettuce, Garlic Aioli, and Choice of Cheese on Toasted Brioche Bun". I have to say, I think they managed to beat Moxie Kitchen + Cocktails here, which until now has had my favorite burger. This thing was to die for. Juicy, garlicky, smoky, meaty...YUM. My husband wasn't really hungry, but ordered the datil pepper barbecued pork flatbread. It was also completely delicious. Everything was great, and I can't wait to go back. read more
