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.

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

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.

Hours of operation

Got here at 9:10 just wanted something to go just a simple taco and rice here for 5 days and was exhausted after traveling all day this was the closest spot to where I am went to front doors man at the counter acted like he didn't see me then walked around to the back it's now 9:16 he said the kitchen was closed asked why since the hours on line and on sign says they close at 9:30 he said they're closed I said I just want something simple to go he refused never got any food or apology or even a offer for a different place that's still open super disappointed

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!!

Tacos lengua

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

Ask for the gravy on the side. Exceptional dish! Their drinks are also really good. The bartenders know what they are doing. You won't go wrong with any cocktail, a glass of the house whiskey, or just asking them to get creative for you. Service is always excellent. Professional, friendly, attentive. Very well run. And the location is really cool - an old ice factory turned into a restaurant. Its industrial setting goes with the vibe. While the Saint Augustine trolleys cart people here, don't write this off as a tourist trap. It's one of the best restaurants in North Florida.

We walked in around 12 o'clock on a Wednesday afternoon and was able to sit at the bar with no challenges. Bar area is open seeing if you want a table you do have to check in. I started with a handmade Italian soda the ginger one and I love this because the ginger is very pronounced. It's very crisp and light. I also got an order of their soup of the season, which was a red curry. It was absolutely delicious. Had great flavor little spice at the end of it as well. For lunch, we split the fried chicken that comes with collard greens and whole cakes. The collard greens are by far one of the best that we have ever had. They use slab bacon and they're absolutely delicious. We've literally talked about them for years and they were just as good as we remembered. Fried chicken was nice and moist and the hocakes cakes were very sweet. For drinks, I tried one of the seasonal ones which was the witches of Eastwick. The gin based drink definitely was sweet, but exactly what I was looking for. My husband got an old-fashioned because they had black walnut bitters when he was really excited about.

Walking in, I loved the vibes! It gave modern tiki bar feeling, it was clean and felt very warm and inviting. We sat at the bar and was greeted by the bartender and a very extensive and beautiful leather bound menu! I loved that haha! They had everything from classic tiki drinks, to modern, to drinks by liquor type, etc. It had the food menu, some information about the bar and how it came about. We ordered a few drinks: Bushido Rhapsody (DELICIOUS), Stars & Sarsaparilla (husband liked it) and their currently rotating tiki drink - Escape from Black Mountain, which serves 2 and is served in a cool mug of the bust of Pedro Menendez. You can purchase it as well! It was so good and felt never ending between the 2 of us drinking it. For food we ordered a couple of apps - Cajun Chicken Eggrolls and the Montenegro Meatballs. Both were fantastic!! If we didn't already have dinner plans, we would have stayed here for dinner! Definitely will be coming back here next time we are in town and every time after that!

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

We had seen the advertisement on TikTok for somewhere that is dog friendly and decided to give it a whirl. We showed up around 6pm and was quickly seated at a table outside. While it was warm, it didn't feel too hot and was manageable. It took a little while for the server to come to our table, but we recognized that she was busy and we were in no rush anyway. When placing a drink order, I decided to order a margarita and my husband ordered their signature coconut margarita. I ordered a coke, too, as I had a taste for one. The only reason I docked stars was because although they were busy, it was almost as if we were forgotten on a few occasions - one being bringing my coke. I had to ask for it a few times unfortunately. We decided to split some food so we could try different things. We ordered the shrimp cocktail, the chargrilled oysters, and split the fish sandwich. The sauce on the fish sandwich was delicious and the fish of the day was some grouper which was fresh and yummy, too! The chargrilled oyster sauce wasn't my favorite flavor. It almost tasted like a steak sauce, but my husband enjoyed it. This is a cool place both inside and out for a younger crowd to have drinks.

A cute little afternoon tea experience, but room for improvement!…read more We decided to try afternoon tea at The Chatsworth Pub, and overall, it was a nice little outing, although the food left a bit to be desired. My husband called ahead to make a reservation for a Friday afternoon, and we ended up being the first ones there at 1 PM. Not sure if that's the earliest reservation they offer, but it was nice having the room to ourselves initially. Afternoon tea is served in a separate room next to the pub/bar area. Our server was friendly and started by bringing us the tea menu along with little jars of the different teas so we could actually smell them before making our selections. Such a nice touch! We each got to choose our own tea. One thing to note is that the tea isn't unlimited like it is at some other afternoon tea experiences. You get one mug per person, so don't expect continuous refills. For the sandwiches, I believe there were about six different options. I went with the roast beef, which came with a really good aioli sauce, but unfortunately, the roast beef itself was very stringy. Every time I took a bite, it seemed like half the sandwich came along with it, making it difficult to bite through. Definitely required some extra chewing! Haha My husband ordered the turkey sandwich, which he really enjoyed. Now, onto the baked items... this was probably the most disappointing part of our experience. The assortment we received seemed a little random, and unfortunately, several items tasted stale and dry, including the chocolate cake. The scones, however, were very good! I do want to mention that my husband had called ahead and informed them of my allergies to cherries, almonds, peaches, and apples. I'm not sure if that had anything to do with the assortment we received, or if they had to put something together last minute to accommodate me. However, as more guests arrived and received their afternoon tea, I noticed their baked assortments included strawberries and other items that looked much fresher and more thoughtfully put together. It was a little disappointing to see, especially since some of those items appeared to be things I could have enjoyed as well. Of course, I can't say for certain why our selections were different, but it was something I noticed. As for the atmosphere, the afternoon tea room is really cute! It's decorated with lots of tea-themed items and would be a lovely setting for a small, intimate gathering or anyone who simply enjoys the experience of afternoon tea. The pub area itself is cozy, and I noticed they seem to host quite a few fun events, including trivia nights. A couple of things to know: They have separate men's and women's restrooms, and street parking can be a little tricky since you're right in downtown St. Augustine. Just give yourself some extra time, and eventually, a spot should open up. Would I come back? Yes, I'd give them another try! I love the idea of having afternoon tea here, and the atmosphere definitely adds to the experience. However, I probably wouldn't be rushing back anytime soon because I wasn't overly impressed with the food and baked assortment. I guess at the end of the day, it's called a pub for a reason!
