Great locals place to go. Home style atmosphere and great toco and bowl selections. I’d recommend for an intimate place to meet a friend.

It's not TexMex. Not even close. Maybe the owner or chef is from Texas but that doesn't make it TexMex. More like California. Oddball sauce on a chicken soft taco. Sweetened salsa. They charge for chips and salsa. No TexMex restaurant within the border of the state does that. No beef tacos, no deep fried corn tortilla taco shells. Cold chips, guacamole 75% tomatoes. Go to Fort Worth and eat at Joe T's or Esperanzas or Austin at Tres Amigos. That's TexMex.
12:30 PM Sunday and 2 cars in the lot, not a good sign.
Keep looking.

I can’t tell you how amazing this restaurant is the food is always fresh and they always have avocado for other dishes, this is one of my favorite places to come in Saint Augustine whether you’re getting it delivered or in person, the food is fantastic.

Cute place with indoor and outdoor seating and semi-private rooms instead of a normal open floor plan most restaurants have. Unique art work for sale hangs everywhere.

Food made us sick. Server could hardly speak English. The little bus boy came out and told us our gift card was unacceptable—- very strange and an awful establishment. Good also took forever, no wonder the lot was EMPTY at 1pm

Wow! Rarely do you find a store that will accommodate you properly- but these people are amazing ! Not only did the food taste amazing - but I had asked for no lettuce and sour cream, but if possibly they could put some extra cheese and hot sauce- it was exactly !!! what I ordered ! It was fresh, hot and delicious you couldn't ask for more. Portion was large and I would def order again. Thank you!!

Cute, charming old house with a porch turned Cafe. Party of 14 (8 adults) arrived about 3:00 pm and were greeted with friendly welcome. Really nice menu with variety of choices which included vegetarian options (always happy to have choices). The children's menu was unique and even their dishes were plentifully sized. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed what they ordered. The servers were very accommodating and went out of their way to assure our visit was great.
Good food, art for sale on the wall and very vibrant decor…..cool music playing in background

Food and service is great. Good variety and quality. It’s a renovated old house, so it may not suit some modern tastes in decor, but we love it. Local artists works displayed on the walls.

Update...Response to owner: I did not make a mistake on the restaurant, Back 40 Urban Cafe. I never said we ordered fries. I said chips, as in tortilla chips. The 2 dishes I referenced are called Grand Appetizer Platter and Jerk Chicken Ceasar Wrap as can be found on your menu. Initial Review: We thought we would try something different. Big mistake. I ordered a chicken Ceasar salad wrapped in a tortilla. Expected it to be served cold. Instead it had been toasted and overcooked on one side, and the lettuce was wilted from the heat. Yuck. Each of us (four people) ordered something different and the only thing that was good was the chips and different dips...except the chips themselves were not good. Add to that, food was way overpriced. Won't be returning and can't recommend.
