    3 soft tacos beef with rice and beans hit the spot!
    Anna D.

    Picked up tacos to go and they hit the spot! I can rarely find a taco place with a classic ground beef and it was exactly what I hoped for.

    Quest fundido... a must try. Not all fundido is make equally and this one did not disappoint!

    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!!

    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.

    I think this place is pretty good. Not totally authentic but good. It always seems warm And the service is iffy

    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

    Enchiladas Suizas

    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

    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

I had maybe the most bibimbap of my life here, and that includes contenders from a number of restaurants in the Atlanta area. It was truly perfect. $8 for adding tofu (maybe 1/4 block lmao) is one of the funniest things I've ever seen financially, but hey it's a tourist area and it was absolutely made with skill & care, so I wasn't even mad. Seriously, I wanted to hug whoever cooked it. It is so worth it. Everyone else at my table was thrilled with what they got - burrata sandwiches and a fish sandwich. Not a good beer selection, it's very cocktail focused. Not my thing but yeah I will absolutely be back anytime I am in this wonderful city. This is not one to skip

    I wanted to love Forgotten Tonic because the menu looked unique, but unfortunately this was one of…read morethe most disappointing dining experiences we've had in St. Augustine. First, the seating. The tables are unusually tall, making us feel like little kids trying to sit at the adults' table. It wasn't comfortable for anyone in our group. Then there were the lights. They continuously blinked above our table, and it was so distracting that we asked to move. Unfortunately, the second table had the same issue. I know St. Augustine is famous for its ghosts, but I wasn't expecting them to be playing with the lights at 7:00 p.m. while the sun was still shining! The biggest frustration was ordering. We were told menu items could be modified, but after placing our order the server kept returning one item at a time to tell us they actually couldn't make the requested changes. It would have been much better to know that before ordering. The pickle appetizer was another disappointment. Based on the description, I expected a pickle-forward appetizer. Instead, it was mostly kimchi, pickled onions, and other pickled vegetables with only five slices of actual pickles. I honestly don't have the words to describe how disappointing that dish was. I was also excited to try the tzatziki green beans, but the crisp pickled green beans tasted more like fermented green sticks than an enjoyable side dish. The baked Brie arrived with what I initially thought was melted cheese inside the croissant, but it turned out to be undercooked raw dough. Imagine my surprise when I realized I had just taken a bite of raw dough. I actually started feeling sick before we even left the restaurant. My younger son ordered the house root beer, which tasted extremely watered down. He also had the pasta with added grilled chicken, but the chicken was dark meat, overly shiny, and completely unappetizing to him. I ordered the non-alcoholic Velvet Slippers mocktail. One sip was enough--I honestly can't find the words to describe how unpleasant it tasted. My friend ordered the steak sandwich and requested the peppers be left off. After ordering, she was told they couldn't accommodate that request, so she had to pick the peppers off herself and still didn't enjoy the sandwich. My older son ordered the lamb sirloin. Even though lamb is often served medium-rare, this was so rare it looked like it was still bleating. We paid our bill before dessert because my stomach was already upset. I ended up making one last stop in the restroom before catching up with my family, who were already halfway down the street, ready to forget Forgotten Tonic. Sadly, this was one of the most disappointing restaurant experiences we've had. Between the uncomfortable seating, blinking lights, inability to accommodate simple modifications, disappointing food, and getting sick before leaving the restaurant, we won't be returning.

The history, ambiance, food, and hospitality were all exceptional. Renee, our server, made the evening feel so personal. She was warm, genuine, and incredibly knowledgeable. We talked throughout dinner, and not once did she make us feel rushed. She helped curate our meal, and her service will be remembered just as much as the incredible food. Panos, the manager, also stopped by our table and was so friendly and welcoming; everyone genuinely cared about creating a great experience. Every dish was outstanding. The escargot was perfectly cooked (not rubbery at all) with the ideal balance of garlic butter, paired with an incredible fresh-baked baguette. The foie gras was excellent, the steak au poivre was cooked beautifully, and the duck confit was probably the best I've ever had. The red wine-marinated grapes were such a delightful, unexpected touch. For dessert, the lavender crème brûlée was such a unique and incredible flavor profile, very light and delicate, beautifully executed, and the chocolate mousse was just as good. After I left, I checked a few photos out online and only wish I had a chance to try the burger and the peach dessert thing. Also the oysters - couple next to us had them at the end and I wish I had saved room for a few. It's rare to find a restaurant where every part of the experience, from the food to the people, feels this special. We only wish we lived closer. Such an incredible place.

She even gave us advice when we asked about some local areas to go check out after the meal. We sat indoors, though they were available outdoor options for seating. The decor was well done and seems pretty classy. The food was fantastic! We tried the deviled eggs, raw oysters with datil hot sauce, and escargot. I tried one of the off menu omelette selections, which was expertly made. We also tried the bouillabaisse and Branzino. Everything was cooked to perfection. We also tried the lavender crème brûlée, pot de creme and Paris -Brest. We thoroughly enjoyed those desserts! I will highly recommend this restaurant for a date night or special occasion. The quality of the food was excellent, and as such, I will return.

Then she screamed at my daughter looking at an umbrella. Talk about anger issues! This shop was the exact opposite experience. I was greeted upon walking in, offered assistance to pick out wine and the owner engaged with my daughter. I was so much happier to spend my money here vs Fort Alley. I ended up getting some Italian reds, a New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc and some wines from my Paso Robles in Southern California, one of my favorite wine regions. I was hoping to get some Prosciutto but the shop was all out. The shopkeeper explained there was a rush from customers and she didn't get her regular order in. It was completely understandable.
