Taking a stroll through historic downtown St. Augustine today led me back to one of my favorite local spots on St. George Street.

Burrito Works Saint Augustine is a true staple in our community.

In a high tourist traffic area where rent prices continue to climb, and other restaurants charge a premium because of high rent and tourists, they manage to keep their tacos at just $4.25. Which is really the same or less than other taco shops in the area

I mentioned how much I appreciate that they keep things affordable for everyone.

The worker told me they intentionally keep prices low so the people working downtown always have a place they can afford to eat.

That kind of commitment to the local workforce is exactly why I love our Northeast Florida community. It is about more than just a great meal; it is about neighbors looking out for neighbors.

Supporting businesses with that mindset is always a priority for me.

They have four area locations

Does anyone have any other fantastic NE FL taco shop recommendations? I am a serious taco fan and I will try them out.

I love Matt Damon. I've never seen his family but that's pretty cool. What pretty people.

My First Sighting of Spring was on my afternoon walk along the Bayfront on the Matanzas River in historic downtown St Augustine and the aroma from these petunias was wafting through the air and said, "Notice Me!" I did. I stopped to smell the petunias. And they smell like Spring! I lingered to continue enjoying the aroma while I created the post.

If you have a sighting of spring, remember to share it after the coldest winter in Northeast Florida since 1989 when it snowed to be the first white Christmas in over 100 years. I survived.

☕ Coffee, Connections, and a Local Secret
Working from the heart of the city today—and sharing a tip!

It’s a bit chilly outside today, so I decided to take full advantage of the lifestyle and move my office to the historic district!
I’m currently set up at Kafe Kava, where Marissa made me an incredible chai latte (highly recommend!). They have the coziest rooms with comfortable furniture that make for a perfect winter "work-from-home" escape. I’m already looking forward to sitting on their nice patio once the Florida sun warms things back up!

💡 Did you know this local mailing secret?
I didn't realize this until I moved here, but the Post Office actually prefers "Saint" to be written out in full rather than abbreviated as "St." Their automated systems can sometimes confuse "St" (Saint) with "St" (Street)!
To keep your mail moving fast, remember:
❌ 33 St George St, St Augustine, FL
should be written as
✅ 33 Saint George St, Saint Augustine, FL
It’s these little details that make living in the Nation's Oldest City so unique. Whether you’re moving across town or relocating to our beautiful city for the first time, As a Realtor, I find all kinds of tips to help you navigate all the "insider" details of the St. Augustine area.
