food was horrible, fajitas were overcooked burned and cold, the soup was cold thick tomato sauce no taste. The waiter would disappear, take forever, never brought us water . my husband had to go to the bar to get water. brought the food finally and we had to wait for the tortillas which took forever. we will not be returning.. and we were a group of 20 of unhappy customers read more

Food was great servers were very kind and helpful drinks were the best and everyone was kind with me members were very patient with me taking my time reading the menu! read more

Clean, modern atmosphere with a great outside patio filled with fans. Good service, drinks, and food.

Service was great. No wait for an outside table after 7 pm. We received our chips and salsa quickly and our drinks arrived to our table 10 minutes after ordering. The tacos were very tasty. I'll be back. read more

I went here with a group of friends. Our food didn't take long , the service was also great! Everyone was so friendly it was a great time. The place was also clean which is a must for me. read more

Plenty of comfortable seating. Mexican food was pretty authentic. Prices reasonable. Service average. Seemed as if they were in a hurry to get our payment. It's not like we were going to walk out on the check with 2 senior citizens using walkers, otherwise they were polite when greeting us upon our arrival there and taking our dinner order. read more

Taco Libre - Taco Libre Street Tacos, St Augustine, Florida - Mexican Near Me - Saint Augustine, Florida

Pick another Mexican place - almost anyone but this one is a better choice. Server must've had a pet die the hour prior, only thing that could make her attitude okay read more

Love this place! The location is so convenient and everyone always has a smile on their face. I usually get either of the shrimp tacos and they are very flavorful. Also the drinks are pretty great too. read more

We come every Wednesday for trivia night. The staff is always SUPER nice! There's also a large outdoor patio to enjoy. I recommend the carnitas tacos, Taco Libre Dip, and a/or many margarita/s. There aren't many restaurants in this area of St. Augustine. It's a great option for those wanting to get out of the crowds of downtown. Support your local businesses! read more

This Mexican restaurant was referred to us by our hotel clerk! These fajitas were delicious! Friendly staff were really eager to make us feel welcome! I would definitely recommend to Mexicain food lovers! read more

Needed a quick takeout meal before a wedding. Food was amazing and service was fantastic!!! Hidden Gem. We will be back.

Restaurant is really big on the inside and has a nice patio. The food was just okay, nothing special. I wasn't a fan of their margaritas either. Our service was great it was really fast and our waiter was very nice!! read more

They are sometimes slow. Food is good and drinks are good as well. My first visit at the ponce location wasn't that great. But my second chance to them was better. They need more servers. A polite host and not to discriminate against certain customers. read more

food has no taste , looks horrible, what they serve is not worth it, menu is pricey for a low grade restaurant like this

Good to fill a craving. Decent taco joint if you are craving tex-mex and a cocktail but don't want to leave your hotel room or go downtown. Easily accessible to many hotels. Fun outdoor seating when the weather is good. read more

We have visited this restaurant three times in the last 4 months. Each time we experienced decent food and good service. The tortilla chips were fresh, warm and crisp. The salsa was good fresh tasting. The frozen house Margarita was very good and definitely had tequila in it. The cheese queso dip was too small a portion but was hot and had the proper consistency. We shared the shrimp, steak and chicken fajita and asked for corn tortillas. We have eaten this dish before at this restaurant and the portion was very large (enough for 2). The chicken, steak and shrimp were cooked perfectly had not shriveled, dark and in grease. Some of the best fajitas we have had aside from eating at high end Mexican restaurants in Orlando. The corn tortillas tasted fresh and you could actually taste that corn masa flavor. Another dish we had were the pork carnitas. I have eaten better but these were pretty good. I wish they offered tamales but not easy to find in restaurants these days. We will return again to this restaurant. read more

The nachos and queso we're really the only good part of the meal. The beef tasted like dog food and the chicken was very bland. There was not very much spice on the food, and it seemed very minimalist. I would not recommend eating there and don't plan on going back. read more

We went on Taco Tuesday and happy hour! 4 margaritas and 6 tacos was barely 40 dollars and it was so yummy. I'd go back regular hours it was so good read more

Staff was busy, did not talk much to customers. They seemed more concerned with talking to each other. The food was good. No complaints there. The decorations inside was cool. It's a good mixture. read more

We really enjoyed the food. Parking lot is shared with a motel, so a little confusing, but they said we were good to park there. The guacamole was just ok, but the cheese enchilada were terrific and my street taco asada were full of large chunks of steak fresh cilantro and sweet raw onion! Our side of rice and beans were hot and fresh and the salsa was fine, albeit very mild. Pleasant surprise for our dinner, and service was perfect! Thanks Taco Libre, we will be back! read more

Margaritas were excellent! I got the Birria, Carnitas and Chorizo tacos and they were very good! Great service as well!

Not that far from the main attractions, this place is the RIGHT place, specially if traveling with a toddler/baby. Their food is authentic, the "lengua" and "pastor" tacks took me back to Guadalajara! Service was fast, we didn't have to wait LONG hours to get seated. Great beer, great food and great service! You will not be dissatisfied! read more

We ordered the fajitas la roca and carne asada street tacos... both were great. Convenient just walking distance from our motel. Nice environment for 2 or a big group. When we were there the staff came out singing to a group celebrating birthday. read more

This place is fantastic. I am a native Southern Californian so I am choosing about my MX food. Delish! My only criticism is that they forgot our drinks. So, if you order takeout (and you should!) check your order before you go. read more

Service was terrible, we were seated and did not see anyone for 20 mins until we got up and walked out. The lady that sat us saw us walking out and still ignored us. The restaurant was not overall busy at the time of our visit. read more

Taco Libre is excellent. We go there every Wednesday night for Trivia and sometimes on Friday nights. The food is delicious, servers are friendly, and they sanitize the tables after a party leaves. read more

Nice place, bar area looks great, nice ambiance. The food and service were both pretty good

At there 2 weeks ago. Sat outside in their beautiful courtyard. The service was prompt and our server was informative and very friendly. The menu is very large so everyone should be able to eat something they really like.Though the place was very busy, the food was served in a reasonable time. There was plenty of food, reasonably priced and VERY GOOD! I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

Ordered take-out that I picked up on A1A in plaza with Publix. Order was chicken enchiladas suizas, queso fundito, and a shredded chicken burrito. I asked for extra green sauce and was charged for it. The 3 enchiladas were loosely wrapped, cubed flavorless chicken, no sauce to be seen as what was put on was soaked up by the corn tortilla, if they even put it on after dipping them in the sauce. On the side was the rice and beans. Actually beans, then the rice right on top of the beans. Why did the have to mix them? My extra sauce - didn't receive. Enchiladas were dry, beans & rice were mixed together. Husband's burrito was shredded flavorless chicken wrapped in a flour tortilla with white cheese sauce smothered on top, then coated with shredded lettuce, a tomatoe slice and small doll-up of sour cream. Rice and beans on the side. Burrito looked like an enchiladas. Maybe it was. Who knows. Really no flavor. The queso funding did not come with any flour tortillas, just dip. The tortillas might as well have been from a bag. Thick, cold. Salsa was tomato juice. To make matters worse, I got violent stomach cramps about 45 min after eating half of my order which lasted till about 4 am. The restaurant itself seemed nice, it had a decent amount of tourists (families), big bar and that evening had drink specials. My recommendation is to find another Mexican restaurant and skip over this one. read more

Even though my daughter had a hair in her burrito. We were willing to stay and asked them to replace it. When they brought the bill, I asked them to please remove the burrito. A male server (who I believe was a manger) rudely came up to me and said "we are not going to remove that from your bill, it was a small hair, probably an eyelash and we can't tell if it was her's or someone in the kitchen". He also said, "everyone back there wears hair nets and beard nets". So I sarcastically asked "do they wear eyelash nets", obviously they don't, "so I stated, how can you say it was my daughter's hair". He was adamant that it was our problem because they brought a new burrito to replace the dirty one. So I stated "if that wasn't the "automatic option", what was she suppose to do, just sit there and watch us eat"? After about 5 minutes of us explaining, at any other reputable establishment, we probably would have had the whole thing comped, all we were asking, is to remove that burrito from the bill. Then, when he finally took it off, he yelled and said "I took it off", as if he did us a favor. Horrible service!! Don't wait your time! read more

Wow. Taco Libre is the best mexican food!!!! The food was fresh, delicious and generous. The pricing was great as well.

Worst service ever today! We were here earlier this week and it wasn't like this but apparently manager did not care because our friend who lives this place was embarrassed and talked to manager and he did nothing ! Food was cold and I got soggy tostada! read more

The service was great. So was the salsa and guacamole. However, the chips were cheap and my taco salad bowl stale. Disappointing since we were starving read more

Honestly if you are fan of wrestling this is your place. The decor was wonderful and the food was fantastic I would highly recommend this place. read more

no good! everything full of grease no taste! Margarita is nothing but sugar! don't waste your money!

Extensive menu, great decorations / paintings. Huge patio area. We enjoyed our meal & drinks. Recommended.

Don't waste your time! Tried this restaurant the other day because we do frequent the one on Anastasia. Went after the lunch rush and only a few tables at the time. Service started out bad and continuously got worse. ordered a couple of tacos and beer. Tacos were OK but did have a generous portion of meat ( pork/chicken)on them. never saw waitress again and had to get our own silverware and hot sauce. Waited and waited for the check finally had to go to the front of restaurant to locate waitress who was hanging out with the rest of the staff. Saw a couple of other tables having to do the the same. there was really no excuse for this kind of service with it not being busy or understaffed! Will not be back! read more

This place is embarrassing. The ambiance is cafeteria like, the service is reluctant and the food is not good. I have this system that I apply to Mexican food when reviewing a place; is it better than Chipotle? If not then what does it offer to make it worth anyone's while? Good drinks, fun environment, great service, cheap eats? Taco Libre has none of those. The food is flavorless, and poorly executed. My carne asada was more like wet beef jerky without the salt, just two over cooked slabs of thin gray meat. The queso is from a jar. The rice is soft and flavorless. The fajita meats are all over cooked and the beef, chicken and pork all taste the same. The refried beans are canned. The Margaritas were a joke, you know how when you babysit your drink a little too long and the ice has melted and it's all watered down? That's how the first sip of these Margaritas tasted. Seriously, Chipotle's food is way better, and this place offers nothing to make up for that deficit in terms of a dining out experience. So what's the point? What is Taco Libre doing? They don't know what the hell they're doing, get real, get some pride in your damn food, it's insulting to put that garbage in front of people and expect them to enjoy it. Disappointing. read more

Excellent food. If this were a hundred miles down I-95, it would absolutely be my go-to Mexican place. Nice prices, great portions, and a couple surprises. My Chile Colorado was a nice mixture of chicken and beef in a bold red sauce. The rice, and the refried beans, were wonderful with good portions. The only disappointment was born from inexperience. Our street corn, an absolute favorite, arrived in a bowl. Rather a shock. A short lived one too. The portion, compared to the normal "two pieces of corn" was simply huge, and the taste was among the best we've had. Go, go absolutely. read more

I really like their tacos. Frozen strawberry margarita was yummy. Salsa was tasty but not too spicy hot. Service was very good. You can sit inside or outside in the covered patio. I'd go back. read more
