What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
A1A Burrito Works is celebrated for its uniquely delicious and massive burritos, especially the UFO, which many describe as a top-tier culinary experience. Diners rave about the fresh ingredients, flavorful options, and the fun, beachy atmosphere. While most reviews are overwhelmingly positive, a few mention that the chicken was not chopped in nachos and that for larger groups, the value might not satisfy everyone.
"Was on vacation in St. Augustine beach & saw UFO Burritos on Tik Tok. I had to have it. It didn’t disappoint. I had chicken with refried beans baha style. Very nice flavor and didn’t even need side sauce to make it work"

"This is a small awesome taco stand! Food is amazing. Cheaply priced and cool beachy vibe. Don’t miss this spot. Wander off the beach grab nachos, tacos or the UFO. You won’t be disappointed."
Samuel Perez
"A1A Burrito was absolutely amazing. The food blew us away, and I loved that they have so many vegetarian options. I went with the tempeh burrito and fries — the burrito was massive, seriously as thick as my forearm, and packed with flavor. The fries were phenomenal too, perfectly cooked and seasoned.
I couldn’t even finish the burrito, but I honestly wish we were staying longer because I’d come back here five more times without hesitation. If you’re anywhere near St. Augustine Beach, this spot is a must-try. Outdoor seating only."

8 Off-the-beaten-track Restaurants in St. Augustine, Florida
Whenever I’m in the US, I always seem to gorge myself on tacos, burritos and other Mexican and Tex-Mex goodness that’s generally harder to find in Europe. So I was particularly pleased discover Burrito Works along A1A Beach Boulevard. Order the UFO for something that’s halfway between a taco and a quesadilla but considerably bigger than both – one to share is probably fine for lunch.
