Tacos My Blessing & The Bog Brewing Co.

It’s Saturday afternoon and after a full day of wandering into every cute, artsy, crafty little shop that caught our eye, from north Palm Coast to St. Augustine we were ready for lunch.

Craft shop interior with shelves displaying crocheted bags and dolls on the left, a teal shelf with various items in the center, and more handmade crafts and decor on tables and shelves throughout the cozy, well-lit space. — Every corner had something new to discover—this is how “just browsing” turns into an hour.

A hand holds two colorful art pieces in front of a small outdoor cabinet labeled THE ART EXCHANGE, which contains various art supplies and items for swapping. Grass and a sidewalk are visible in the background. — Stumbled on this tiny art exchange and couldn’t resist picking up a piece to remember the day.

A woman takes a mirror selfie at a market stall, smiling and holding up a peace sign. The mirror reads, You look good. Now go grab a treat. @dijondrizzle. Baked goods and displays are visible nearby. — Somewhere between shopping and exploring, I found a mirror and made it a moment.

I don’t know what we were thinking trying to get parking in the afternoon on St. Patrick’s Day weekend in downtown St. Augustine – temporary insanity – We did a lap around down town (which is longer than it sounds) stopping at a couple other restaurants with no parking as well. We decided to keep heading home and find something unique along the way.

When we crossed the West King Street bridge – that’s when our lunch prayers were answered and we saw Tacos My Blessing food truck located right behind The Bog Brewing Company.

And let me tell you… the wait was worth it! Food, vibe and cost were 10/10.

We devoured these amazingly flavorful steak, chicken and chorizo tacos with fresh corn flour tortillas. Topped with cilantro, onions, spicy salsa verde, and radish slices. With their fresh tortillas chips and salsa. Which paired perfectly with our drinks we ordered and sipped while we waited for our food.

A nearly empty glass of beer sits on a wooden outdoor table, with foam residue inside the glass. In the background are blurred people, a rainbow mural, and a partly cloudy sky. — A simple pour that somehow tastes even better sitting outside in the Florida sun.

Two plates of street tacos topped with grilled asparagus, radish slices, and cilantro, served with tortilla chips, salsa, and lime. A side of quesadillas with veggies and a half-full pint of beer are on a rustic wooden table. — The kind of spread where everything looks good—and somehow tastes even better than it looks.

Outdoor dining area with people sitting at tables under a wooden pergola. Bright murals and a yellow food truck in the background, with green artificial turf and plants around. The sky is partly cloudy. — Tacos, craft beer, colorful murals, and plenty of space to hang out—this is what makes the spot.

After we ordered from their charming yellow food truck we entered the back entrance of The Bog Brewing Company. The buildings back wall displays a huge colorful geometric mural that’s impossible to look away from that complemented the truck and was very enjoyable to look at from our table.

The inside of the brewery is spacious even with the large exposed fermentation tanks that can be viewed on the south wall. The ceiling is strung with colorful Christmas lights and the pillars are covered from floor to ceiling in stickers. The whole combination gives this a creative, laid-back vibe. They even have board games available, to play solo or with a group. The menu wall is also simple and easy to read, so choosing your drink is quick and enjoyable before heading back out to enjoy tacos.

A cozy bar with a rustic interior, featuring a wooden wall displaying beer options on boards, T-shirts hanging above, exposed pipes, string lights, and a person standing near drink taps. — From light and refreshing to bold and funky, the tap list keeps things interesting.

A yellow brick building with a sign reading BOG BREWING CO. stands on a street corner under a partly cloudy sky. A sandwich board advertises imperial stout near the entrance; trash bins are beside the building. — Not the flashiest exterior—but that’s part of what makes it feel like a true local find.

A brewery interior with exposed wooden beams and colorful string lights overhead. Two people stand near the counter, and brewing tanks are visible on the right. A restroom door and various decorations are on the left. Natural light enters from the front. — A mix of industrial and cozy that somehow works perfectly once you’re inside.

The outdoor seating area is relaxed and welcoming, with umbrellas for shade, plenty of space to stand, walk around, and even play a few games while you enjoy your food and drinks.

My Mom, Lori, had their Cream Ale on tap. A blend of German Pale Ale and Pilsner Malt. Was very refreshing for the sunny warm day. My husband, Jonathan, had their Mango Belgian IPA on tap. Although darker than typical IPAs, it was crisp with a fruity touch. Also perfect for the sunny day.

The whole space feels like a hidden local gem.

A shoutout to the perfect duo of Tacos My Blessing and The Bog Brewing Company. Not only was the staff fun, complementary, and over all lovely – but the combination of fresh tacos, craft beer and games makes this spot such a fun visit in St. Augustine.

Local Tourist Tip

If you’re visiting St. Augustine during a holiday weekend or festival, plan ahead for parking or consider grabbing an Uber. The crowds can be part of the fun—but finding a parking space can sometimes become its own adventure.

After a day well spent of exploring shops and seeing the sites (traffic) a great day ended perfectly thanks to a lucky parking spot.
