Located on the bay front at the foot of the Bridge of Lions, Casa Reina is inspired by Latin, Mexican and Floridian coastal cuisine. Our diverse menu is anchored with traditional favorites with an added contemporary twist. Everyone is welcome at the Queen’s Table.

The menu has several vegetarian and pescatarian options. They also offer many non-alcoholic choices and delicious mocktails.
We ordered seltzers with lime served in a “vaso escarchado”—the straightedge one ✈️Ask Dana for one next time !
Friendly staff, great food, and a beautiful setting. Highly recommend!

Casa Reina is pure magic on the bay.
The moment you walk in, the energy shifts—warm staff, glowing lights, and that waterfront breeze that makes everything taste even better. The food is exceptional. The short rib enchiladas are unforgettable, and every plate arrives looking like it belongs in a magazine.
The team here is genuinely happy, and it shows. Service is smooth, welcoming, and never rushed. Whether you’re on the rooftop or tucked inside with the windows open to the water, the atmosphere is unbeatable.
If you want a place that feels like St. Augustine at its best—beautiful, flavorful, and full of heart—Casa Reina delivers every time.

Casa Reina Mexican Food in St Augustine is a great place to enjoy a very good meal. The food is excellent and full of flavor, with a solid menu and well prepared dishes. The service was excellent, friendly, and attentive throughout our visit. Dining with a view of the river makes the experience even better and adds a very nice atmosphere to the meal. A place worth visiting while in St Augustine.

Highly recommend this place, loved the outdoor seating and everything we ordered was delicious. Really big portions for the price. For dinner we got the following items: hibiscus margarita, jalapeño rellenos for an appetizer was great for the whole table and had such a great flavor. For the main meal the seafood combo enchiladas were delicious and the house made hot sauce with the blue crab cream sauce made it. Our waiter recommended the yellow rice with the pinto beans which I thought paired great with the enchiladas. Plenty of food, we even had leftovers. Will be back!

We spent the morning at the fort and walked over for an early afternoon lunch. We didn’t have any wait on a Saturday, but it was before noon! We sat outside with a beautiful view of the water, fort, and lighthouse. We split the salsa, queso, and steak tacos. All of which were delectable! The queso and salsa were particularly enjoyable! Our waitress, Savannah, was so sweet and helpful in recommending the steak tacos! I also ordered the Casa Reina Margarita which was perfect for an afternoon patio drink. We would definitely come back to enjoy both the view, and the food, next time we’re in St. Augustine!

First time here, we were a large group. The staff was able to handle it. The food was very good. I tried several appetizers and sampled other dishes. Right on the corner of the main plaza, right across from the Lions Bridge. Upstairs dining, with an outdoor patio if you prefer. They even have an elevator if you can’t manage the stairs.

I was worried because some of the reviews said not worth the wait. We were all very happy with our food. My husband & son had chimichangas,I had grouper my littles had quesidilla. We had queso with chorizo & cocktails to start. It was all delicious & our waitress was very attentive. The hostesses were a bit snide but we called a half hour before. Got our names on list then checked in & waited 20 mins. It was very busy evwrywhere with nights of lights. so I suggest doing it that way. It was chilly so we chose to eat inside but it has a beautiful view of ocean if its a nice day

Sat outside up top where we can see the bridge of lions. It was a perfect time to come because the nights of lights is over and the wait wasn’t bad. The drinks were great. The food was delicious and the service was on point.

I recently visited Casa Reina Taqueria & Tequila and had an incredible experience. I ordered the Steak Chimichurri Fajita Bowl, and it was easily one of the best meals I’ve had in a while.
The Food:
The steak was perfectly cooked and paired beautifully with the chimichurri sauce. The bowl is loaded with flavor—between the caramelized onions, poblano, and red bell peppers, every bite had a nice kick. It comes served with a generous portion of rice, beans, fresh pico de gallo, and creamy guacamole. The presentation on the colorful Talavera-style plates really added to the vibe.
The Vibe:
The atmosphere is vibrant and authentic. They even serve fresh tortillas on the side, which were warm and perfect for scooping up the extra steak and peppers.
If you’re looking for high-quality Mexican food with fresh ingredients and great portions, this is the spot. I’ll definitely be coming back to try the Tequila selection next time!
