Taco Libre - Lengua (beef tongue), Buffalo Shrimp, and The Shroom (grilled chicken) tacos - Mexican Near Me - Saint Augustine, Florida

While visiting Nights of Lights we stopped here for our dinner after a long drive. They were recommended by Southern Oaks Hotel/Quality Inn. The place was busy but we were seated right away. We ordered Tacos Birria at 15.99, which were just okay, Tacos Asada 14.99 but they added 3.99 for rice and beans, which my daughter said had no flavor/spices and I had the Three count plate, which was rice/beans, chicken soft taco and hamburger soft taco. Everything was good except for the hamburger taco that had no flavor. I enjoyed my spicy margarita at $10.99. My son got three tacos and he enjoyed them. Service was good. A family of four with three drinks the total was $102 plus tip of 20%. Would I go back, probably not but it is close to the hotel and there are only two other places to eat up the road. read more

Taco Libre - Hours of operation - Mexican Near Me - Saint Augustine, Florida

Found this spot by accident when some friends were in town and my go to was closed.... NOT mad about it lol. New favorite taco spot in st Augustine! The spicy margarita was phenomenal and all of our food was The decor seems newer compared to the Beach Blvd location I tried after this spot was found. Much larger too. Don't pass this place by. The parking lot was empty and inside mostly as well on a week day we went (usually a red flag to me personally) but I'm guessing it was because it was a weekday. Had friends in town so we were playing tourists mid week. Love this spot!! read more

Taco Libre - Quest fundido... a must try. Not all fundido is make equally and this one did not disappoint! - Mexican Near Me - Saint Augustine, Florida

I brought the whole family to this place so I could get some tacos. The reviews looked pretty good and the atmosphere being a play on Nacho Libre sounded like something worth seeing. For a strip mall, the inside was neat and clean. Ana was our server and she did a great job. I ordered tacos lengua and a horchata. It came with a green and a red sauce, and neither of them were very hot. The tacos were packed with onion, cilantro and meat and came with radish and lime. Excellent flavors, definitely some of the best tacos I've had in a while. There was a plain shrimp taco, special burrito, grilled chicken bowl, and beef enchiladas. I tasted a few things and everything was pretty good. What appeared to be canned corn on the grilled chicken bowl would be better as fresh or maybe improved with a quick skillet singe. Overall though, we enjoyed it and if in the area I would definitely come back and try other tacos. read more

Locals recommended this place. We enjoyed the food we had from this place. We enjoyed the tacos and queso!

I love this place! The staff is so friendly and the food is amazing! My favorite appetizers are the Shrimp Ceviche and the Taco Libre Dip! The tacos and burritos are sooooo good! Please give them a try, you will not be disappointed! read more

Food was bad Ingredients not quality Overpriced We stop here once a year while on vacation to see if the food has gotten better. This will be the last year and we will not be returning. Four people and no alcohol, the bill was over $100.00 read more

The food and service were great! Our food was served quickly and the staff were so kind. I would tell anyone in the area that wants a solid meal of Tex mex to stop by and you won't be disappointed. read more

Taco Libre - Quiet Sunday - Mexican Near Me - Saint Augustine, Florida

The food was decent. We ate in the bar area with only one person working the bar and also doing the food orders. Ambiance was great and chill until people started to drink with the bar tender and manager by doing shots. One of the biggest restaurant faux pas and something that should never ever happen. Sadly though this place wasn't that busy on the first football game of the nfl season. The tvs in the bar area were barely working along and freezing. read more

We got takeout and the fajitas were great! Everything was fresh and hot. We really enjoyed the meal.

I've visited Taco Libre several times before, but unfortunately, this last visit ensured I won't be returning. Our initial server was inattentive, and eventually someone else took over. When the bill arrived, I was charged for a steak rice bowl--even though I specifically ordered it without protein and requested extra vegetables instead. The second server said he couldn't adjust the bill and brought over the manager/owner. What followed was shocking: he raised his voice at me, insisting that vegetables are "WAY more expensive than steak" and accusing me of trying to get something for free. I never asked for anything complimentary--just to not be charged for steak I didn't receive. Eventually, he changed the charge to a chicken rice bowl (which was significantly cheaper), but continued to berate me about altering menu items. I explained that I've ordered the same veggie bowl many times in the past without issue, and he responded by questioning whether I'd ever been there before, essentially calling me a liar. When I said I wouldn't be coming back, he said, "good, don't"' It's disappointing to be treated with such hostility over a simple request. Never have I encountered such unprofessionalism and verbal abuse, let alone from a restaurant manager. I hope others have a better experience, but I won't be returning. read more

Slow service, but good food and even better margaritas but sitting there with empty drinks from before our food was delivered until after it was finished with a disappointment. read more

Biking around St Augustine we found this place off the beaten path. Google rated it higher than Yelp. So glad we listened to Google this time!! Tacos were amazing! Service was great and the restaurant was so much fun! We had nothing negative to say about this place read more

Overall, just not impressed with Taco Libre. The food was lacking any flavor. The chips were stale and tasted like paper, and the salads was bland. We tried the Birria tacos and their new Tinga chicken tacos. Both had no taste. It was flavorless and boring sadly. The restaurant was pretty empty so we got our food quickly and the service was average. The decor was probably the only thing we liked about the place. Pretty sad about our meals and will not be returning. read more

Fantastic restaurant. Whatever you are paying Jorge it's not enough. If you are in the area, this is a must stop. You will not be disappointed. read more

An enjoyable visit with the family, the staff was very nice and accommodating to the requested changes... I got the Enchiladas Suizas, very tasty... overall, 5 stars read more

Taco Libre - Enchiladas Suizas - Mexican Near Me - Saint Augustine, Florida

We were looking for Mexican and had been here before and enjoyed it. But this time... not so much. The chips tasted like they had been cooked in old oil and were terrible. I ordered the fajita nachos... they were okay, but the veggies weren't cooked long enough and were still crunchy. Another in our party ordered a chicken chimichanga without red sauce. It came out with the sauce anyway. When she pointed that out they took it to back and attempted to scrape the red sauce off of it, turned it over, and drowned it in cheese sauce. But the worst thing was what I saw happen at another table. The server dropped off an entree to the table next to us. The patron flagged him down and pointed out that it was wrong - he realized he'd dropped it at the wrong table and took it from him and then delivered it to the correct table. I was flabbergasted - that's gross at any time, but particularly in this post-Covid world. Long story short - there are LOTS of Mexican places in St. Augustine... so do yourself a favor and pick any of the others. We will NOT be back!! read more

all four of us liked our food..we loved the portions sizes...the chips were hot and salsa waa great...waitress waa very sweet and great serving us. we came from Arizona and colorado and had reservations about the way it looked outside..but we asked several people before we walked in and were completely satisfied & tummies full!! recommend to anyone! ps prices were very reasonable as well!! read more

We were excited to try this restaurant out. We arrived about 3:30pm and there wasn't anyone at the hostess station. After waiting a few minutes we walked towards the bar to see if it was a seat yourself. We were seated and the waitress arrived at our table. We ordered a variety of items from the menu - protein bowl, burrito, fish taco, Baja salad and queso. The service was not the greatest. One of our party never received the cocktail they ordered. We had to ask for more chips. Once the food arrived, the waitress never came by to ask if we needed anything or to see if the food had arrived alright. The food was good. Fish taco was exceptional! We were just a little disappointed in the lack of service to the table. The ambiance and design of the restaurant is really fun! Definitely an eclectic Nacho Libre spin read more

Our favorite place in old St Augustine for Mexican food!! The food is fantastic and a great bar to sit and watch football!

Any chicken you order here is just boiled white shredded chicken--SUPER BLAND. I do not understand it because Mexican us supposed to be spicy or full of flavor due to a spice mix. Not matter what I order that is check in is the same just bland. I would only ever order the birria tacos. It is the only item with flavor. read more

We haven't been there in about a year. Tonight we had chicken fajita, chicken, enchilada, beef burrito, and chicken, tostada, as well as a side of beans and rice. Every dish was flavorless and bland. Perhaps the restaurant changed hands has a different chef. Service was fast. The loud Mexican music was annoying. It was not a mariachi band, but rather a shouting in Spanish. We will not be going back. read more

Food was good, lunch prices were great, margarita was large & delicious, what's not to like? Waiter was friendly & helpful.

The fajita burrito was delicious. Huge portion and very fresh. Great place for families. Service was fast and friendly. Highly recommended. read more

Fantastic! I had the taco americano. Try the queso with your chips also, then drizzle some on your taco.what I like best is they are great at doing it exactly the way you want. Extra tomato? No problem! Love the horchata and the margaritas too! In the two months we stayed in st Augustine we went here at least 10 times! read more

The absolute WORST meal for Mexican Food ever!!! Don't waste your money. Questionable ground beef & water that couldn't be improved by lemon slices. No taste or spices in the food dishes whatsoever. read more

Taco Libre - Mexican Near Me - Saint Augustine, Florida

This place was a mistake for food. Everything tasted like it came out of a can. We should have known things weren't good when the guacamole came out. It was the so bland & definitely not fresh. The Mexican corn tortillas tasted like cardboard. Then the fish taco had a chemical taste to it. Needless to say, we didn't finish our food & left as quickly as possible. Don't eat here. read more

this has become my go to place for good Mexican food. not tex mex. Mexican Food. Servers and Staff are always friendly and the food is awesome. you can't go wrong on anything on there menu. Food is served hot " temperature" and that is important when it comes to my taste of Mexican food. their spices are right on and not overpowering. Chips and Salsa is amazing. Counter Service for Single or Friends hanging out is very inviting. Restaurant is Clean for what I have seen . read more

The food was particularly delicious! Everything was clean and the server was super nice and very helpful in picking out what to have. The margarita was perfect, and two adults had enough food from just two tacos and one side of rice and beans. The decor was very nice, with some Mexican kitsch and VERY nice paintings. I'm a New Englander, and I felt the prices were very reasonable. (four tacos, one side, two liquor beverages = $35!) read more

Second time here in under a week. I decided to stop in today on this beautiful cinco de Mayo. I expected them to be busy. But my service was great placing a Togo order, very quick and efficient. I had a margarita while I waited which really hit the spot ( I could actually taste the liquor) . Food was great enough to where the 3 year old who normally turns his nose up was eating the chips and salsa! Food was demolished between me and my sons and for a reasonable price of only $20 bucks. For an another order of flautas, chips & salsa & the margarita! I would definitely say this is the Mexican food spot to stop in while visiting St. Augustine ! read more

Taco Libre - I ordered the chicken flautas and chips and salsa. - Mexican Near Me - Saint Augustine, Florida

Slop. Gross. Ordered taco salad and it was literally soup. Won't be back. Service is ok, but still had to pay for the slop bc I ate some.

The food here is delicious. I wish they would answer the phone, but they don't. We have ordered online for work because our lunch is at 11:00 and the earliest pick up time is 11:25 which makes it hard. The customer service is okay, but there are usually lots of people just walking around while you wait for service. Anyway, back to the food-I've tried several of their tacos and enchiladas. My favorite is the shroom taco with chicken, mushrooms, and cheese. The chips are okay, but the salsa is great. I ordered a side of queso the other day and it was ridiculously small. I've never seen a side of queso this tiny. (See photo). We will continue to go here because we enjoy the food. read more
