    The flank steak classic dish... with beans/rice and tortillas.  My niece LOVED it.
    Carrie R.

    This was an excellent stop. We had purchased the Explorer's Passport at the vistor's center. It included a small discount at a couple restaurants so that brought us here. But discount aside, still an excellent stop. An excellent run flight for my spouse... a great gin and tonic for me using St. Augustine Distillery gin... and GREATFOOD. My spouse had amazing fish tacos, the guacamole we shared was well prepared... I had the big boy burrito with pork-- very good! My kiddos eliminated alll thebwxcelent ingredients from the burgers but even as basic burgers they were expertly prepared... and my one niece had steak soft tacos-- all looked excellent. Really... it was all great. Good service both from the bar and dining area and the food and drinks were all great!

    Swordfish taco special
    Mary D.

    We picked this place for lunch because of my hubby's obsession with fish tacos. The Baja tacos looked amazing in the pictures. The outdoor seating was more appealing to us than the indoor. We had a view of the colonial quarter next door. Hubby order the grilled swordfish tacos which were a special. These were really good with the freshest grilled corn salsa. I ordere the Baja fish tacos. These were great except for the breading. They would be perfect grilled but because of the cilantro cream dressing and cabbage slaw, the breading lost its crispness. The beans on the side were tasty too.

    Carne asada tacos
    David V.

    Lovely quaint place and good food. The place can get a little tight inside, but there is a large outdoor terrace. There is no fans outside however, so it gets way too hot outside on summer days. Ordered carne asada tacos. They were fantastic. The meat was fresh and really flavorful. Comes with a side of rice and beans which is a nice bonus. Downside is it only brings two tacos. Solid place to come eat while walking through the old town.

    Carne asada and fish taco with rice and beans side

    We came to St Augustine to see the Night of Lights and decided to get food on St. George Street and afternoon trying multiple restaurants with long waits, we stumbled into Taberna del Caballo. The wait staff greeted us and was super polite as we sat down immediately and received complimentary chips and salsa which was delicious and much needed! Our server was very polite and the wait time for our food was fairly short. I got the Cuban sandwich and my girlfriend got the mix and match tacos with Carne Asada and Fish as her choice. The Cuban was delectable with everything super hot, a great amount of mustard, pickle and mayo to cut the juiciness pork and the fries were a perfect side dish! The tacos were also really tasty with a great side dish of rice and beans. I was glad the other places were so busy so we found a gem like this!

    Blackened Mahi Caesar Salad

    Great great atmosphere with the pups. It was nice and shaded with a great ambiance. We sat down and started with street corn that comes on the Cobb and some Patatas Bravas. These are not your typical version of Patatas Bravas. They are more of French fries with lots of paprika and a dipping sauce. It was good, just not what I expected. The salad and fish was the best. Really fresh. The fish tacos were fabulous too. Not too much of a heavy breading and balanced with a good slaw. The streak tacos had crispy bacon in them which was really unique. My fiancé loved it. The refried beans were not our favorite but to be honest I have never had any I was thrilled with. Good time and they even brought water out for our three dogs. We had McKayla as a server and she was really friendly and sweet. And got our order right the first time :). Thanks girl! The drinks were pretty decent too. The bartender actually knew what a French 75 was so that is always a plus in my book. Overall great spot in St. Augustine, FL. Especially if you have pups.

    We're visiting from NY ... and this place called St. Agustin is awesome. We stopped at this restaurant for dinner and let me tell you... we had wings with Guava BBQ sauce.. beer, cocktails, loaded nachos, Tapas, and for dessert we got this sweet plantains with caramel cinnamon sauce and vanilla ice cream on top OMG TO DIE FOR. I def recommend this place and if we have the chance to come back and visit again, we'll def come back to this restaurant.

    Raw oysters
    Meghan K.

    I had a delicious whiskey sour here! We also ordered some raw oysters and conch fritters which were amazing as well. This place is so cozy and cute and the perfect place to stop in town.

    I find myself stopping by here whenever I'm in St Augustine. I do like this place. I mainly go here for the bar. I love the sangría. It's very sweet, which I like. It's rustic and somewhat romantic. Unfortunately, the service is not always the best. They usually have Spanish music playing. Live music on the weekends. Picnic tables are the outside seating. I have tried a few items on their menu, and I have enjoyed all of them. But, the food is not the main reason why I come here, it's the ambiance.

    Ophelia B.

    Colton was our friendly bartender and server. The tapas plate we ordered was good. It was my first time enjoying tapas. The white sangria was delicious. A humble place with good food and service.

    Caverna de Caballo, Saint Augustine November 16, 2018 Stopped by this place for a quick lunch. This place used to be something else but I don't remember. We were seated and the waitress came by to say hello and to take our drink order. We weren't really hungry so we ordered a beer, a lemonade and shared an appetizer. The waitress was really attentive. The place was really cool. However, the shared appetizer was not what's was listed on their menu but it was delicious. Not really expensive. Good service, great place, good prices. Would we go back again?? Yes!!

    Loved the corn app. Found the cauliflower tacos to be dry & lacking something - the chili sauce helped. Next time I would ask for the fries and top them with the pork from the torta ahogado along with their chili sauce. Yum!

    The St. George Salad: $9
    Leah A.

    This is a great lunch or light dinner spot hidden in the quarter. I've been here a couple of times now and the food was surprisingly tasty. The menu is diverse enough for the pickiest of eaters. The salads are big enough to share and the Cuban sandwich is pretty big, too. Both items are very flavorful and recommended. The St. George Salad is a tasty one with really yummy balsamic dressing. It was loaded with tons of veggies, cranberries and nuts--a solid salad with tons of flavors and textures going on for sure, but in a good way. The Cuban sandwich was delicious and had a lot more roasted pork inside it than I expected. It was also served with kettle chips. The fish tacos were an excellent choice and big enough for a nice meal. They give you two large tacos served with sauces that just work really well together. So good! And if you bring the kiddos, they have a special menu for them that won't break the bank. They have an assortment of flatbreads and tapas from which to choose depending on your appetite. Kids' pizza is pretty much flatbread pizza with a thin crust, sauce and cheese. No frills but pretty darn good if they don't manage to finish it. Items are also served with potato chips. My last visit, I had a Bloody Mary and it was beautifully decorated with a large green olive, a nice chunk of chorizo and slice of sundried tomato speared on a toothpick complete with a salt and pepper rim. However, the actual drink was just OK and could have used a lot more vodka. Overall, this place is very understated, but the food is solid. The service is decent for being right on St. George St. and they have a good sized bar inside if you're on a liquid lunch. Options to eat at the bar or inside dining areas (air conditioned with fans) or outside on their spacious deck is an added plus. However, the food is definitely worth the visit.

    Upon checking out posted menu my husband and I decided to check out this restaurant, we had our choice of indoor or outdoor seating and chose outdoor. After being sat it took close to 15 minutes for server to come take our drink order. Our server Vanessa was nice enough but she had 2 tables with larger parties and my husband and I seemed to be forgettable as patrons. I ordered the Mexican Street Corn and was rather disappointed with it, besides not being very hot it was rather tasteless. I also had the Big Boy burrito, my husband had the Dirty Rice bowl. Both had okay flavor but arrived so quickly and were not very hot either, we imagine they were prepared earlier in the evening and then warm in microwave. The beverage prices of a bit high for soft drinks but other price were not that bad. We will probably not return.

    My wife and I have visited The Ice Plant several times over the years, and it remains one of our…read morefavorite dining destinations in St. Augustine. The combination of imaginative cocktails, exceptional food, and a unique atmosphere makes every visit memorable. The cocktail program is outstanding. We enjoy trying a variety of their exotic and inventive drinks, and they never disappoint. The flavors are bold, creative, and unlike anything you'll find at a typical restaurant bar. The Yellow Submarine cocktail is quite possibly the best drink I have ever consumed. Made with curry-infused Bermuda black rum, lime, ginger, and Asian five-spice brown sugar syrup, it sounded unusual on paper but came together beautifully. I enjoyed it so much that I ordered four of them that evening, something I rarely do. That was three years ago, and despite returning several times since then, I have never seen it on the menu again. The food is equally impressive. Two years ago, I ordered the Skillet Roasted New York Strip served with Yukon Gold potato-anna, roasted asparagus and spring onions, watercress, and black truffle hollandaise. To this day, it remains one of the top five restaurant meals I have ever eaten. Every component on the plate was exceptional. The steak was perfectly prepared, the crispy potato galette was irresistible, and the black truffle hollandaise elevated the entire dish to another level. It was the kind of meal that stays with you long after the plate is cleared. I would gladly drive 300 miles just to eat it again. Most recently, I had the wild mushroom bisque, and it was the best soup I have ever consumed. Rich, creamy, buttery, intensely mushroomy, and perfectly balanced, it was everything a mushroom soup should be. The addition of crispy pickled onions and crème fraîche added texture and contrast that made an already outstanding soup even better. My wife and I enjoyed it so much that we returned the very next day hoping to order it again, only to discover it had already rotated off the menu. My only complaint about The Ice Plant is that some of their greatest creations seem to disappear as quickly as they arrive. While I appreciate the constantly evolving menu and understand that seasonal changes are part of what makes the restaurant special, there are certain items that deserve a permanent home. The Yellow Submarine cocktail, the wild mushroom bisque, and the Skillet Roasted New York Strip with black truffle hollandaise are three of the finest things I have experienced there. The fact that I can vividly remember one of these items from three years ago and another from two years ago says everything. Great restaurants serve good food. Truly special restaurants create dishes and drinks that stay with you for years. The Ice Plant has done that for me more than once, and that is why we continue to return whenever we visit St. Augustine.

The Bloody Mary is where it lost me. $15 is a serious price for a cocktail, and mine arrived as a tall glass of ice with what was left over poured around it. By the time I was a few sips in, it was mostly meltwater. For that money I'd expect the drink to outlast the ice. Suggestion for the house: given the name, lean into it. Send everyone home with a free bag of ice -- at least then I'd feel like I paid for something I got to keep. Would go back for the food. Would think twice before ordering another cocktail.

Our mixologist was named Talon; he was very friendly and knowledgeable. He started by asking us what we usually like to drink (spirits and flavor profiles). Once we gave him the information he needed, Talon proceeded to make us some amazing cocktails. I absolutely loved mine and could have drank them all night. I tried some of my friends' drinks and they were all excellent as well. We ordered several appetizers to share (guacamole, wings, empanadas, and mojo chicharrones) plus beignets for dessert. Everything was very tasty! Talon came back over to ask us what options we'd like for our second round or drinks, so we all went with something different than the first order. Every cocktail he served us was really good and based on our individual tastes and preferences. I wish I lived in the area because I would go to Odd Birds regularly. The night we were there, they had a secret disco going on in the main dining area which sounded like a fun idea. I loved everything from the drinks, food, and interior decor. The Charlotte 33 Speakeasy area has a pretty atmosphere as well.
