Good tacos, but when you are told it's gonna be 45 min wait after you order is rude. Then when you pick up your tacos and they are cold is total crap. I wouldn't go again, guessing they survive on one timers. read more

Sooooo yummy Hubs did traditional ground beef - I did one shrimp one blackened fish - along w/ guacamole & chips Very filling - one can do the job if, you have a side read more

Wowzas! I haven't had Mexican food this good since moving to New England! We saw this spot while driving to downtown St. Augustine and I'm glad I did that U-ey. I was drawn to the vibe from the street. Looked chill and all the tables were filled. Service was friendly and fast. My hubby got the baja fish burrito and I got a carnitas taco and a potato taco with rice and beans. We also shared the chips, salsa, and queso--made our own nachos. Everything was fabulous. I wish I lived closer because if I did, I would be here at least once a week. We ate on the patio and we met a couple of friendly dog lover patrons-of course we had our pup with us! Do not pass this place up! Lots of street parking in the neighborhood nearby - there's also a small lot. Next time we're in FL, I'll be back!!! read more

For a taco stand adjacent to a brewery, you would think there would be more of a partnership. That being said, the food was delicious. The shrimp taco (St Augustine?) was absolutely spot on. The taste of the fried shrimp carried itself through every bite. The steak taco (San Diego?) was ok, but needed something. The steak was a little over cooked which left the meat less flavorful and a bit chewy. Overall the food was definitely worth trying and I could see eating here again. read more

This is a small, walk-up to order restaurant. There are a few picnic tables outside to sit at and even though it's covered, sometimes they are directly in the sun and there weren't any seats left. The service was good - takes about 15 minutes to make your order. You can order ahead online (recommended). The food is 4 stars. The kids liked their tacos and I had crispy tofu (some tofu were over fried and very hard). Turn any taco into a burrito or a bowl. We had chips and salsa while waiting in the small, cramped indoor space. They give you a small salsa container for a big box of chips. Need more salsa? That will be $3. We were there around 5:15pm and it was quite busy/ crowded. Not sure if I'd choose this type of restaurant again since the cost was about the same as a sit-down restaurant. For example, for our family to eat at Prohibition Kitchen (with a cocktail and 1 Diet Coke) it was $88 (includes the 20% tip). Our bill at Osprey (with a Diet Coke only) was $60 (includes 15% tip - I do less % for walk-up food service counters). Prohibition Kitchen had much larger portions. These restaurants are apples -vs- oranges with the type of restaurant but PK was more value for the dollar. If I had to do it over, I'd have gone back to PK due to $. read more

Came here with a local friend to check out this taco stand. The place is very laid back. There's a small parking lot and outdoor patio seating. It's located next door to Old Coast Ales and they share seating, so you can grab a beer while enjoying your tacos. We ordered the carne asada, carnitas and Baja fish , and tried all 3 house sauce (the Chili Arbol with a little smoky flavor was my favorite). The carne asada was a little dry, probably because it was close to closing time, but overall the tacos were enjoyable. read more

Yummy tacos!! Osprey is located right next to a brewery, so you can grab some tacos to drink with your beer - always a good concept! We're big sauce people and the Osprey folks thankfully gave us all the sauces to try - so good! Love the variety of tacos you can choose from too - you can't go wrong. read more

Lovely casual place to have some great food. We went there twice already and had different dishes. All were tasty and very good. It has a small area to eat inside, bar style, and plenty of seating outdoors. Ambiance was nice too. Very busy during the weekend. Service was good. Attentive people and pleasant servers. Come check this place if you are in the area. Check your experiences as well. Happy yummy food! read more

Who doesn't love Osprey? Sure, the place is small, the wait is often long on wknds, and ordering online seven times out of ten doesn't work, and you gotta hope and pray they don't run out of the special, and if you try to call in your order sometimes the phone rings forever so you just have to drive over there, wait in line, order, wait for your food...but dang it is so worth it! I only live ten minutes away but even if it was an hour I'd still go thru the hassle. It's just that good. read more

Osprey Tacos nails it with its hip vibe and creative menu. We ordered six tacos and chips, and everything hit the mark. The shrimp tacos were fresh and flavorful, topped with crunchy, crisp veggies. The beef asada taco was rich and perfectly seasoned, with tender meat that stood out on its own. The carnivore taco was loaded with a mix of juicy meats that felt like a feast in a single bite. The Idaho taco was pure comfort food with crispy potatoes and melted cheese The brussels sprout taco was a fun twist, with roasted sprouts and a smokey, yet slightly sweet finish. The setup is outdoor seating only, standing if you're indoors at the counter, but you can sit at the ale house next door if you want a drink while you eat. The staff brings your food right to you, and water is self-serve, keeping things super casual. If you're looking for bold flavors and a chill atmosphere, Osprey Tacos is the spot. Highly recommend! read more

This little taco place is so cute, and the food is delicious! We got six different tacos, and they were all delicious. My favorites were the Mahi Mahi and the grilled shrimp. The best thing about their queso is that it is thick, stays on the chip, and doesn't fall off. The weather was lovely, and we had our puppy, so we sat on the patio. We love it when a restaurant has a dog-friendly patio, and my dog liked their chips, too. read more

Great tacos, it's a cute little place and was clear it was a local favorite cause it was busy!! I loved my shrimp taco (5/5). I also had the fish taco with mahi mahi (3/5). They had some awesome vegetarian options too my friends had the tempeh taco, and the Brussels sprouts (5/5), potatoes (4/5) , tofu (4/5), and avocado tacos(2/5). I'd definitely go back if I was in the area and next door is the old coast ales brewery so can grab some drinks and tacos and sit outside to eat. Staff was friendly and attentive even tho it was busy. I loved the chips and queso, also they serve hyppo popsicles my friend said the watermelon hibiscus was really tasty! read more

Came here based off recommendation from friends who are local and the food was amazing though the counter girls service was complete opposite. Shared it was our first time , she didn't care. Asked how things work and she responded you order tacos , couldn't be more obvious then that at a taco shop. Basically each taco is ordered a la carte. They all are approx $5 each. I took my wife and sister here and we all got 3 tacos and felt satisfied from eating 3. Only one of us was full at 2.5 tacos. Food came out hot and fast and was delicious! I'd come back for the food because it was delicious and served fast even though it looked like they had a full house of customers. Seating is mainly outside on the patio , so prepare clothes according to the weather. Though their is a countertop that can seat people inside , but it'll feel crammed. It's a cool setup because if you like to drink beer, their is a brewery next door you can order your tacos and have them delivered there too. Parking is very limited in their parking lot though behind the restaurant their was lots of residential street parking that was close and easy for you to walk over too. read more

We are not local but we visit St. Augustine often (several times a year). Our first time visiting was over the Christmas holidays and we did a late night visit to the Lighthouse. Nothing was open and Osprey was close and also close to closing. I tried making an online order but my phone service was not working well and prevented me from doing so. I called and asked if I could place a to go order. Having worked in fast food, I always hated it when we got orders close to closing time. I told them I understood if they could not, but they were super accommodating and nice about me placing my order. I was super happy with the pleasant attitude and the food was superb once we got back to our room to enjoy. Everyone loved their tacos and we wish we had one close to us. I prefer it over Torchys, Tijuana Flats, Casita Taqueria, etc. I usually get the St. Augustine taco and then try new ones. We have done a burrito also and it is also fantastic. We went last week when it was cold and it was again very good. A little too cold to sit outside, but we managed because we really wanted some good food. We also went to the arcade across the street and make a great day out of our visit. Highly recommend Osprey Tacos. read more

Osprey was good but depends on what you order. Fried shrimp was great, grilled fish not so much.

Small, quaint, friendly, and very good food. If you're looking for something that is not a chain restaurant this is a great place to grab a quick bite to eat. read more

CREATIVE menu, attentive, I have never received the wrong order and comfortable beach atmosphere on the island

Very good tacos in a really cool retro setting--I think the building was originally the front office of a motel perhaps? Very populuxe mid-century modern. Not much room inside, but pretty ample seating outdoors. Lots of different taco options--I had the St. Augustine Shrimp ones. Service is prompt, tacos come out quickly. About the only bad thing to say is the lack of parking--small lot and the rear entry to the lot is (or was when I visited) a muddy mess of rainwater and dirt, too. There is street parking however in the residential neighborhood behind Osprey--a quick hop, skip, and jump to get your tacos. The taco competition in the area is stiff, but I think Osprey is in the end the real winner if there is one and in any case, very worth checking out yourself! read more

Wanted to try out Osprey Tacos as I heard it was good. Like the chill ambiance - order at the counter and there's outdoor seating to relax and eat. Got the SD tacos because of course we are a San Diego family - it was good but a unique spin to tacos, the carne asada was a bit dry. Also got a bowl and it was packed with veggies, a plus. Could have had a bit more meat for it. Overall nice taco joint. read more

I have been going to Osprey consistently for about 4 years now. Normally the chips and queso is great and the tacos are served warm. Today I arrived hoping to have a delicious lunch with my family. I ordered a shredded beef taco with cheese, sour cream and lettuce NO TOMATO and NO ONION + chips and queso. The chips and queso arrived right after I ordered. The chips were extremely stale and the queso was cold. Next I grabbed my taco from the counter. The taco had tomatoes and onions on it and it was colder than my lukewarm soda. Disappointed. read more

Food was hot and ready fast. We really enjoyed the ambience and they played really good music. The weather was super nice outside. The service was also really good.

First time and will be many more times. Shifted to Osprey's after trying to go to Kaiser's that was closed for no reason. Happy accident! Food was awesome and will partake in brews next door next time. True gem! read more

Let's taco bout it! Street style tacos with a twist. Can't go wrong with anything on the menu, especially the Cuban. It's like the Cuban sandwich went on vacation and came back wearing sombrero. It will make you wonder why more Cubans don't forget the useless Cuban bread and start making tacos! 10/10 would recommend pulling up to this counter order only taco shop and search for a bench outside (if they aren't already all full). read more

Decent tacos in a small hole in the wall place. You place your order at the front and wait for your name to be called to pick up order. I had avocado/black bean taco and there were way too many black beans making it hard to eat but it was tasty. The other taco I had was the Boise and it was yummy! My husband had a blackened shrimp taco, a fish taco and a St. Augustine taco and he enjoyed all three. read more

On our last full day in Saint Augustine we finally made it to Osprey Tacos. I am so sorry we waited! Our tacos were fantastic. I ordered a shrimp taco and Tom ordered what was called a Cubano taco...I don't remember what meats were in it. We both absolutely loved our tacos. The shrimp in my taco were nicely spiced and tasted incredibly fresh and delicious. The flavors were deliciously balanced and each mouthful was in turn...salty, sweet, spicy, crunchy..and amazing. This is a small place...you order inside and either take your tacos to go or sit at one of the picnic-style tables outside under an awning and someone will bring your food out to you. We sat at one of the tables on what was another gorgeous St. Augustine day. It was impossible for us to eat inside anywhere unless we had to. If I lived nearby, I would be here regularly. The prices are reasonable. They have water, soda and beer...maybe other things too but this is what I remember. You can also get chips with salsa and/or guacamole. We didn't try it but I saw another person eating chips and guac and it looked good. The service is fast and friendly. The woman who was taking our order was terrific...I didn't catch her name but she told me she was originally from northern NH! Kudos to her. Loved this place! read more

Needed lunch on our St Augustine day! Found Osprey on Yelp & it came highly recommended from the employees at the lighthouse! We ordered our food & grabbed a table! We got a great table in the shade! The chips & guac were really good! The guac was really fresh! At first glance you think it's pricey for the portion size given of guac but then you notice there's a ton of guac packed into that small container! We both really enjoyed our tacos! Tacos came out quickly after ordering. Our fav tacos hands down we're the st Augustine taco! The tortillas of the tacos were really really good! This was a great lunch find on St Augustine! Added it to our list for next time! read more

I have never had less than amazing food from Osprey Their ingredients are always fresh, their service is quick and super chill, and their creative specialty items are always a surprise favorite!

I went with my neighbor on a Friday night. We got there around 845 right before a rain storm. The staff was very accommodating so we had no clue they closed at 9. There is a brewery attached next door. You can take get a beer and sit in Osprey's patio or take your food to the brewery. I ordered the San Diego, Baja Fish and Chorizo (all without cilantro). I was least impressed with the Baja Fish. The toppings were good. I didn't realized I could get it blackened. That would have made it much better. The San Diego and the Chorizo are very similar other than the protein. I liked the Chorizo the most. My neighbor got the Pork Fried Rice taco and said it was amazing. I'll have to try it out next time. read more

Loved our first visit to Osprey Tacos! My husband and I tried 5 different specialty tacos. We really liked their tortillas chips.

I've been to Osprey's a few times now and it has some pretty solid tacos! It is a walk-up and order shop, with limited seating and parking. I've had to street park the last few times and wait a while for one of the 6 tables to open up (or just stand and eat). There is also only outdoor seating so you may be fending off flies while you eat. They have a small but good variety of taco options, with some great classics, as well as some fun unique tacos. We also got the chips and salsa and guac. The salsa was not good, very flavorless. The guac was okay, also didn't taste super fresh. I've tried a few different tacos from here and they all were good. We got their vegetarian option with potatoes, which was crispy and dry, but good when you add sauce. Their carnitas and carne asada are also kind dry with not much flavor, so add sauce! Their St Augustine fish tacos and San Diego avocado tacos were very good, we really enjoyed those. They have 3 options for sauce, we liked the mild and the hot sauce best. Overall, they have some pretty good tacos and I would recommend to grab-and-go here. read more

Boom! I hate to give them 5 stars because the lines are going to form. These tacos are fire.
