This Mexican restaurant is a family favorite. You can order anything from a burrito, carne asada, or fish tacos to a Mexican Cobb salad to a spicy tortilla chicken soup (my sister and I love the soup and I often order the nice salad).
Good salsa, chips, queso and guacamole. But, my brother-in-law loves the “white sauce” with the chips.

The Old Spanish Sugar Mill is a unique restaurant located inside De Leon Springs State Park. Opened in 1961, the unique tables tables are equipped with a griddle. Servers bring you pitchers of homemade pancake batters (both a stone-ground mixture of five different flours and an unbleached white flour).” My tip: do a half and half mixture. You pour the batter and and flip them over right at your table. You may order blueberries, bananas, peanut butter, pecans, chocolate chips, apples or apple sauce. The Mill has sausage, terrific bacon, ham, eggs, homemade breads and an assortment of other treats to accompany your pancakes.
See the separate state park description.

Located in St. Augustine. Rated #1 milkshake in the state of Florida by USA Today.
Cousteau owner Stephen DiMares' father and grandfather once worked overhauling famed oceanographer Jacques Cousteau's boat the Calypso, and DiMares named his Belgian waffle milkshake shop after the Frenchman. His menu items, however, are named for places and characters in the Bill Murray movie "The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou." Go figure. Among the specialty milkshakes are the Papa Steve (blackberry cheesecake and homemade blackberry sauce), the Be Still Cody (chocolate with espresso, mocha sauce and espresso whipped cream) and the Pele Dos Santos (vanilla with bananas and Nutella).
