As a big fan of Mexican resturaunts, I find this one is somwhere between your run of the mill mexican joint and cantina laredo gourmet mexican, but closer to the run of the mill mexican. Long story short they don't have frozen margaritas which was kind of disapointing. With out frozen I did try a margarita on the rocks which was good, but I found their mix too sweet. Now to the food, I got a mexican combo, chile rellano, taca and whatever it doesn't matter it is just the same as casa maria, or any other cheap mexican. However, there is one item that I tried that is an absolute home run the surf and turf taco, it was by far the best thing about this resturaunt. Service was ok but not amazing. Overall the next time I go here either by choice or tagging along I will be happy getting 3 of those surf and turfs and a hopefully frozen margarita. I don't understand why they have frozen margaritas on the menu? If you do go here, SURF AND TURF taco, it won't disapoint. read more

My Hubby and young daughter went Last Sat night. OMG!...the margarita's were awesome sauce right down to the beautiful glass it was served it...it's all about the glass;)...the guacamole was to die for (super fresh ingredients) and the Queso dip was very creamy (many cheese involved)...the portions were well let's just same I ate Mexican for 3 days after that...the fajitas were very good and the ChimieChanga was incredible per my husband. We will for sure go back..... thanks for a great Mexican restaurant! read more

I'd give a 4 or even 41/2 if it wasn't for the service. The young lady looked at us for ten minutes before engaging us. 15 for chips salsa. Stingy with salsa especially the hot sauce. Food if you can deal with bad service was really good. read more

noisy and casual, this place is a perfect inexpensive mexican food joint to bring the kids to. they have an extensive menu with everything from ceviche to tacos to fajitas, street food and drinks, and they even have a bar menu. we had a friendly waiter who provided excellent service without being invasive. will definitely return! read more

Cantina Louie - Mexican Near Me - St. Augustine, Florida

Food average at best. Service was quick. Staff not very friendly. We will not return to this location, we will go to the Town Center from now on for great margaritas and food. read more

My husband and I love this place! He is a fan of their huge burritos. He has tried several and has yet to find one he doesn't like. If your there on taco Tuesday try some because they are delicious. My favourite was the veggie but the shrimp was a close second. The only problem we have ever had is the parking lot. It is small and usually has some type of construction going on. Oh and for any of you Pokemon hunters, the restaurant is a gym. Go Valor!! read more

The food was great and huge portions! The margaritas are AMAZING! Highly recommend and go earlier than later as they fill quickly with a wait! read more

Ok, so first off I love the signage it drew me in and made me curious enough to give it a try. I lived in Mexico some years back and as an Italian American Indian am very confused on how much I appreciate authentic Mexican food. Living in Mexico certainly opened my eyes on what it's really supposed to taste like. That being said This restaurant brings all of those fresh flavor a Ive been craving and mixing t with a nice perfect blend of American food. The burrito made chipotle look like a retarded step kid. Fresh shrimp chicken beef avocado jalapeño rice cheese omg I'm stuffed I eat every bite which normally I wouldn't have eaten half due to controlling my urges but I couldn't. Miguel the owner came to the table personally and took our order and I couldn't be more pleased. Just a little bit about my experience and I can't wait till taco Tuesday !!! read more

Went here for my birthday dinner with family. We were a party of 8, seated immediately (it was a Tuesday), chips and salsa were fresh, queso was delicious, and the drinks were perfect! A "shot" of Patron was more like 3 shots, it even came with a small straw! The margarita with patron was fantastic, and the food was good. Typical dishes were ordered, but we all loved what we got. Our server was very attentive and friendly. The decor was fun and interesting. All in all, we had a great time, great dinner, and will be returning! read more

Stopped in here with my boyfriend at 5:45 Tuesday evening. We were well greeted and seated right away. And, that was it! No one came to our table for drink orders or to explain a Tuesday night taco special we heard about so, at 6:05 we left. Nothing more to say. read more

Excellent food! We went on tamale Sunday and they were absolutely delicious. My wife had the chicken quesadilla loaded with lots of fresh chicken and cheese. The guacamole is delicious as is the queso dip. We've been there many times and we're never disappointed. read more

I just swung into this place on the way out of town and I absolutely loved it, from the Dia de Muertos decor to the service to the food (and margaritas!). Though we were seated right at peak lunch hour, we were served quickly with chips and salsa. I asked for an order of queso and it arrived at the table in less than a minute. The salsa was great, not too onion-y or cilantro-y. I loved the queso dip, as did my daughter who ate almost the entire dish. I ordered the vegetarian burrito which had a medley of fresh vegetables well seasoned and wrapped in a grilled flour tortilla and smothered in more queso. Every bite was delicious. My husband ordered the California Burrito and also gave that 5 stars. We both added Margaritas because they were the special of the day (there are different specials everyday, so keep coming back!) and they were phenomenal. Thank you for a great meal! We'll definitely try to make the trip back to St. Augustine to dine here again! read more

On a very busy night, we had a pleasantly short wait with our drinks outside on one of the many benches to enjoy the evening. Our server was awesome. I had the 3 option dinner and each items tasted fresh and delicious. Can't wait to go back on a weekend and try their mexican corn! read more

Love this place. Been here a couple of times. Always good. Slightly more upscale than the regular Mexican joints around Jax. Their salsa is really good. There isn't anything you could pick off the menu that will be bad. It's all good.The place does get busy though. read more

Incredible food!!! Loved the atmosphere. Definitely not a quiet place but I like that sort of thing. The chicken in my chimichanga was so fresh and tasted amazing and the star of the show fir me was the jalapeño margarita!!!! So well made and just enough spice! It's a little hot so if you don't like spicy then choose the mango margarita! A sweet alternate! Both so so good! I will be returning and reordering!!! Love it! read more

Loved the interior, the service and the food. WIN WIN WIN! I happened into this great eclectic Mexican restaurant with family while visiting Saint Augustine during a vacation. We were greeted immediately and were seated shortly after. I loved the funky interior of this place and though it was quite busy, the acoustics of the restaurant were such that one never had to raise their voice to hold a good conversation. I definitely suggest ordering the chips and salsa and make sure to get the habanero salsa - nice and spicey hot. I ordered the Enchilada Supreme and it was quite good - with yellow rice and beans and fresh veggies, this dish did not disappoint. Our server was so kind in making sure our drinks were filled and that we had enough hot sauces for our meal. All in all, a great time with my family. Memories were made and I will most definitely visit again when I am in town next. read more

See all

The food, atmosphere and service was all fantastic. We absolutely plan on going back!!

Really good food here, the decor was inviting, cute and quirky. I had tacos de pastor and a sunny side taco. They were both delicious and flavorful. Our server was competent and timely. I will definitely be back to try more from their large menu. read more

The drinks are way over priced. The food is average at best. I got upcharged a crazy amount for black beans. When they came out you could tell they were canned beans that had been sitting in a pot all day. Not fresh at all. Chips stale. At the time, I tried to order take out and they told me you couldnt do to go orders. Too many other good mexican places in town to go to this one again. read more

For a weeknight dinner, we were pleasantly surprised...no wait for a table, quick service, huge margaritas and dinner hit the table about 15 minutes after we ordered. Not to mention the burrito...go hungry or plan to split one between two people for sure! read more

Really great place and I think it will be around for a while. They just need some time to figure things out. I could drink the margaritas all day, the salsas are great, and the tacos are authentic - simple and good! I will go back for sure. read more

My whole family wasn't impressed with this place. My 9 year old son is a true mexican food critic and says this place is ok. The chips are rarely hot and fresh which is a big deal for us. There are two other restaurants In town that blow this place out of the water. We probably won't go here again because there are better options especially when craving mexican food. read more

Awesome Tacos and the service was great. It can be a little busy at times but the wait isn't too long 5-10 minutes. Also, don't completely trust the GPS when finding the place, it's near the Barnes and Nobles. We will come back my daughter loves the Churros. read more

This place has really improved over the last year or so. The menu, especially the special taco menu is more unique than most Mexican restaurants and the quality is above average. The service we had yesterday was exceptional and it was at lunch when it was very busy. My family had a really good experience. read more

The staff are wonderful & the menu is awesome! Our food was absolutely delicious & it came out fast & hot. Very kid friendly. We moved to St. Augustine from Jax beach & this has become our TacoLu. Delicious! read more

Excellent tacos! The salsa is great! First timers...we were on our way to another taco shop, but passed this on the way and HAD to stop in...we'll definitely be back down from Jacksonville!!! The sunny side up taco is LEGIT! Love the authentic Mexican decor and fear looking menu! read more

Muy delicioso!! Loved this place. I had a shrimp taco and a sope. Yummy!! Get the siracha shrimp taco- excellent!! So good! Great cocktails and margaritas. Try the jalepeno margarita. Would eat here a few times per week if I could! Loved it! read more

What's not to like about Cantina Louie?!?!?! Food is so good and service has always been excellent. Guacamole is yummy and chicken and shrimp nachos are great. Portion size is really large and price is very reasonable. We eat here at least two times monthly!!!!! read more

Amazing tacos & margaritas ! Very authentic flavors. Taco Tuesday 4.99 drinks & 2.99 all tacos !!! Very cute inside! Love this place !

Baja salad was very good. Mexican corn was very good. Chimichanga was very good. Churros!!!!!!

This is my favorite Mexican restaurant in St. Augustine. The salsa and tacos are great. Go in on Taco Tuesdays and get tacos for only $2.99.

I ordered a chicken and a shrimp enchilada. Was very disappointed and surprised that the shrimp and chicken were plain and just rolled in corn tortillas, no sauce or cheese inside and were not baked in any sauce so the tortillas were very dry. My husband did like his chimichanga. The skinny Louie drink was very good. read more

It was really good to eat at. The people were nice and kept checking in on us. The people that brought is our food kept getting confused like they didn't know what we were getting. Make sure to try it. read more

My husband and I come here all the time. It's usually packed but we always get seated quickly and the service is never less than fantastic, especially from Kayla. I love that the chips and salsa are on the table immediately, and can't get enough of the guacamole and sangria. My husband always orders the taquitos and they never disappoint. We love this place and will keep coming back! read more

My wife and I tried this establishment on Friday night 3/18/2017. I had Enchiladas Supreme, and my wife had something that I really can't describe. Both meals arrived, after a LONG wait, in a lukewarm state. It took me about 30 seconds before I gave up on my meal...my wife lasted a little longer. We took her meal home in a box. Our indoor cats REFUSED to eat it. Our outdoor cats reluctantly nibbled. Maybe the local raccoons will give it a try. We will NEVER EVER GO THERE AGAIN...even if we are starving to death. Pee U!! read more

We love Kayla! Good food and great service keeps us coming back weekly. Can't beat the house Margarita.

After sitting for almost 10 mins & having to complain after watching people who had just been seated receive service we finally were waited on. The food was great, but apparently complaining about no service pissed our waiter off who was the bartender & charged our drinks as top shelf when we asked for well. If the food hadn't been amazing I would of complained about being charged double for our drinks, instead the waiter didn't receive a tip & we ordered to go every time after that. read more

I loved this restaurant. It's very cozy, the food is very good, the service was on point our server, Skylar was very attentive. And the best part was the flan!, big enough to share! read more

I have been married to a Mexican man for 25 years and I cook real authentic mexican food and yes it is very hard to find a restaurant tha the sell real authentic mexican food . There just is none here but with that being said going to these so called real authentic mexican restaurants you can't even get good food is sad but for this place we really enjoyed the atmosphere and the food . Well you are eating watch the staff so many waiters not waitresses and they work well together. they all really care about the guest. Bathrooms clean which is a major factor for me if I eat at any restaurant they must have a clean bathroom or I leave. If u don't take care of your bathroom you took take care of your kitchen. Give this a place a try read more
