    Trigger Fish Tropical Tacos
    Dori N.

    If you haven't tried the Tropical Fish Tacos yet, what are you even doing with your life? The mango-pineapple salsa is basically a vacation for your taste buds and pairs perfectly with that fresh trigger fish or unicorn fish. This place is hands-down one of my favorite island lunch spots! The owners? Absolute gems! They are so friendly, so genuine, and clearly on a mission to make sure every bite is perfection. The menu's packed with crave-worthy choices, all made fresh and full of flavor. Oh, and bonus points...they're super pet-friendly! Ask nicely and your furry sidekick might score some homemade tuna jerky. Talk about island hospitality!

    A St Augustine classic. Very friendly service. Fresh seafood with a South of the border flair.

    Fantastic experience overall. The food was fresh and very delicious. The seasonings enhance the food flavor very well and they combine spices for unique flavors. The owner goes above and beyond with his food and his customer service. Highly recommend for anyone looking to try something new!

    Something like a solid three or four. Was camping next door and needed a break from campfire cooking so gave them a go. Why not? Wasn't feeling like driving into town. Was something like $28 for two tacos and a burrito, no drinks, small tip. Nice looking plump tacos. While everything was fresh and I appreciated the exuberant hospitality, I found the food to be something of somewhat plain; even with the salsas. Also not a fan of thicker, harder chips. Ended up giving away most of it, just wasn't feeling it but maybe that's me.

    Baja fish tacos

    This was a great place to stop for lunch. Found parking in a lot just across the street. Super friendly service and a covered picnic bench to eat at. I enjoyed my Baja fish tacos and my husband had the Hanalei Bomb shrimp burrito. We left fell and satisfied. There is also a coffee and shaved ice truck in same parking lot of a really cool surf shop.

    Ahi sashimi
    Morgan H.

    Found this food truck by chance after visiting Anastasia State Park. We decided to return the following day to pick up ahi tuna after looking at the menu. It's open from 11 to 3 and seemed to be a popular lunch option for locals in the area. Ordering at the truck was quick and easy; they also allow you to order via the Clover app in advance. The truck is located off A1A and has plenty of parking. In addition to ahi tuna plates, platters and sashimi, they sell different pork/chicken tacos, burritos and sandwiches as well. I had the plain ahi sashimi which came with seasoned rice, fresh tuna slices, and cabbage, soy, wasabi and pickled ginger. I also tried some of the hot sauces they had available at the counter. The raw tuna was great. Although would have been even better with some sort dipping sauce or rice vinegar. The next day we orders the big kaguna whi h came with shoyu poke and Cajun seared ahi tuna. So good! Everything was flavorful, perfectly seared and seasoned. Definitely recommend this place if wanting fresh fish in the area.

    Drove to St. Augustine from Winter Park to spend the day with family that was visiting down from NY. When we left Orlando it was 82 and sunny and here we were, stopping to grab some food before exploring and it's windy, 64 degrees and starting to rain... how?! Needless to say, if it wasn't for the delicious food at Nalu's we may have considered the whole trip a complete fail. My daughter, niece and I all ordered the ginger marinated steak quesadillas, I got mine with rice and beans and they got theirs with chips (nachos). My other niece got that ahi burger. The ginger steak was delicious! Great cuts of steak so that you didn't bite in and get those uncomfortable chewy cartilage pieces. I was so hungry and could only literally finish half the quesadilla. If I find myself back in St. Augustine again, this will surely be a stop! Parking is limited here as this is a food truck sharing a lot with other businesses. It's worth finding a spot for though! Staff is friendly and welcoming, and they do have one picnic table for dining there. It was too chilly, so we ate in the car .

    Shrimp quesadilla
    Annie H.

    Solely on the Secret Spot Shrimp Tacos, I was a little disappointed. I'm an avid taco diner, so I always migrate to tacos on any menu and Nalu's taco was a bit of a let down. The shrimp itself was delicious and well seasoned, but for the price and complexity of the taco it wasn't worth it. Stuffed with just raw cabbage on top, shreds of cheese, and a drizzle of Baja sauce for $9.50 was meh. The meal came with a side of chips, which I didn't care for since it didn't automatically come with salsa as I thought. (Extra $1 for salsa) Would definitely come again to try something else from the other good reviews. My boyfriend got the shrimp quesadilla. In his very simple brief review of it: Is very good. Lmao

    Got the Seared Ahi Tuna plate with black beans, cheese, rose and sauce. 10/10 phenomenal! Great taste and huge portion sizes!

    This place is right outside the state park. GREAT seafood tacos/burritos. There is one table out back with local art. Great beach feel. Lots of locals. Well done!

We were told a certain amount of time and it ended up being about double that. I heard the same story from others as well. We had to order basically "to go" inside and wait and take it outside to our table. Fine process. But LONG. The food was pretty good tho. Can't rush tasty food. It would just be nice to have a more accurate time. If you say 15 mins I'll just wait there. But when it's nearing 40 mins and now I've missed some of the band - that's a bummer. I would have just gone back out and came back to check in. Idk. There has to be a better process there somewhere. It won't keep me away tho!

The…read morespace has a high-energy vibe with bold decor and an upscale-casual feel that instantly sets the tone for a great night out. We started with the Chili-Lime Shrimp, and that dish alone set the bar high. The shrimp were perfectly cooked and coated in a spicy chili-lime garlic sauce that had just the right kick. The miso butter emulsion and sweet soy tied everything together with a rich, slightly sweet finish. The Poke Tuna was fresh and vibrant--sashimi-grade ahi tossed in a cashew-citrus ponzu with red onion, cucumber, and seaweed salad. The fried wontons added a nice crunch that balanced the dish beautifully. The Mediterranean Pizza was a pleasant surprise. The combination of green olives, spinach, roasted red peppers, artichoke hearts, goat cheese, and garlic worked really well together on a crisp crust, giving you a savory bite with a hint of tang. The Surf & Turf Fried Rice brought bold flavors to the table. Tender beef tips and shrimp sauteed in a spicy chili glaze over vegetable fried rice, finished with fried garlic, chili oil, miso butter, and sweet soy--it was rich, flavorful, and very satisfying. The Beef Tenderloin was cooked just right--tender and juicy--paired with creamy mashed potatoes, seasonal vegetables, and a decadent truffle sauce that elevated the whole dish. Beyond the food, the service truly stands out--warm, friendly, and genuinely welcoming, making you feel taken care of throughout the entire meal. They also offer an excellent selection of wines, beers, and spirits, along with a solid dessert lineup that's worth saving room for. To top it all off, there's plenty of parking available, which is always a bonus in a busy dining area. Overall, this place nails the balance between great food, inviting service, and a fun, energetic atmosphere. Definitely a spot you'll want to revisit.
