    Shrimp and Fish taco
    Brenna C.

    Really great place for fresh seafood and traditional Mexican food as well. We had the bacon wrapped peppers stuffed with shrimp - delicious. Ceviche tostada, and shrimp and fish tacos. Tortillas on the tacos tasted homemade - very good overall. Service was just ok.

    Quesadilla
    Sindy E.

    This place is nice because it not super crowded and loud like most of its kind. The waitress are quiet but nice. Service is good. Big menu I had the shrimp wrap in bacon and it's was very good the bacon was a little dry though, like they cooked it a couple of minutes extra. The carne asada quesadilla was huge. Prices are average for a sitting restaurant.

    Birria taco
    Carolina G.

    We had a party of 7. Came down to Arizona from California and some of us from Texas. Place was 2 min away from our Airbnb. It's welcoming place we were greeted by waitress and it's a self seated place. While we look at menu to order we were provided with chips and salsa and waitress took our drink orders. The food was delicious and good portions. I recommend this place if your looking for good authentic Mexican food.

    Sashimi especially for us

    My parents come here very often and I finally made it! It was honestly soooo good!!! I loved the apps we got and the main course which was the Al mojo de ajo was devoured. Excited to have such a bomb mariscos place next to my parents.

    Three tacos overflowing with meat. The birria is AMAZING.
    Gary J.

    Great food. Large portions. We had chicken, carnitas and birria tacos. Ok beer selection and could use more margarita options

    Firstly, Oscar's is not a bar. It's probably the best seafood restaurant in Phoenix and happen to…read morehave some available adult drinks. The most tender, flavorful, melt-in-your-mouth seafood is what Oscar's serves. Even better, every single wonderful person working there, especially Kari, is kind, considerate, helpful and just wants to provide you with the best food and service. Bonus, they completely respect dietary concerns and are happy to make adjustments per your needs. As a T1D, my diet is strict and Oscar's is one of the very few restaurants I can get an actual full meal and not worry about dietary impact. We enjoy Oscar's so much we go at least once a week. Definitely put Oscar's on your list for great food, great service and a family, home atmosphere that invites you in. If there were 10 stars, Oscar's would get it.

Don't recommend this spot if having a drink is a part of your plan. The fish and breading was bland, and the fries very very salty. It was not memorable by any means. They had a large sized menu though so there's options to consider if maybe what we got just wasn't very good. Overall, I didn't like my experience here and likely will not be back.

From the food to the service, everything was chef's kiss! It was our first time there, so we weren't sure what to order. Our server was absolutely AMAZING. She was so kind, patient, and genuinely helpful with her recommendations. I asked if they had raspberry or peach sweet iced tea, and instead of just saying no, she literally came up with her own concoction for me! That little extra touch meant so much. She even took the time to chat with us about where we were headed because we had a flight to catch. She was incredibly friendly, personable, and made us feel like more than just another table. And THE FOOD?! Absolutely delicious. We especially loved the shrimp dish so much that we ordered TWO more plates to go so we could eat them at the gate while waiting for our flight! lol That should tell you everything you need to know. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was great, but honestly, the customer service is what made this visit unforgettable. This woman deserves ALL the recognition because she was giving A1 service from beginning to end. I actually called the restaurant afterward because I wanted to find out her name, and I was told Ashley. I really hope that's the right girl because that name definitely rings a bell! If it is her, Ashley, THANK YOU! You were so kind to my mom and me and made our experience so special. So if you're in the Phoenix area, ruuuuuuun!!!

    My family and I have been coming here for years, today we went to celebrate my sister's graduation,…read morethis is her favorite restaurant. Their house blend is the best sauce I've ever had, that alone is what keeps us coming back, I believe it is a Viet style Cajun sauce. We usually get the build your own combo, with crawfish, snow crab, and a few appetizers like french fries, garlic noodles, and onion rings. I believe they have changed management recently, or in the past few years. Although the sauce remains delicious, the food quality seems to be falling, and I see that they have a few food safety violations listed on their Yelp. The garlic noodles were swimming in the watery sauce, and the Cajun fries were not tossed, just sprinkled on top. The restaurant has never been that busy when we go, and there is usually is only one server doing all the hosting, food running, and waitressing. Ours seemed to be a little stressed today, and did not refill our drinks as much as we would've preferred, and forgot things like our salt and pepper. We will probably still keep coming just for that sauce, but looks like the restaurant has a few things to work out to bring back its former glory.

I picked the garlic and lemon pepper. well unfortunately they use the garlic that is already crushed and cut and not fresh garlic in their food and they overcooked the crab and if you do get the lobster tail, they give you 1 whole lobster tail cut in half for two people and they give you lots of shrimp, I mean a lot of shrimp compared to anything else in that seafood broil bag had they overcooked all the sea food and they used a lot of that crushed already diced garlic. That did not make the food Taste good at all. They put way too much garlic in it, and the food was impossible to eat because it was overcooked and it was rubbery. I was very disappointed on how much money I spent . if I knew in advance that they had a family emergency and was closing 1 hour early I would've waited and come back the next day and maybe the food would've have tasted a lot better. It was the lobster seafood boil for two couples, and I bought two sets for four couples. Just beware that if they're in a hurry, try not to be in a hurry to eat here. You probably get a better experience than what my family did. I've been to crab shacks before that has seafood boil and they were way better and not so stingy for the price they charge you. when I was there, there was only one family sitting at a table. The rest of the restaurant was empty. The waitress she was very friendly and very nice and very accommodating.

It's such a disappointment when you get yourself hyped up ready to eat something you've been craving for months! The viscosity of the broth was so runny, liquid, no depth to the flavor. The dish needs some love for sure. To add on a small cup w your meal it's $15+ ...NOT worth it at all. Also, shrimps were overcooked in gumbo. The fried shrimp Poboy was good. I asked for mine dressed like it's traditionally served and eaten in New Orleans. Flavor and fry was delicious. Not enough shrimp for the price. Fries are so basic, so left us all wanting something else. They're not crunchy at all, just all soggy soft sad French fries. Needed salt and pepper, too. Bleh. Butternut squash side is delicious as it's doused in butter. Can't go wrong. Even our baby enjoyed this. Wine was pricey for 9oz ($21/glass!), so if I ever go back I'd get the bottle instead and take the rest home. Friend had mardi gras pasta. He loved it. Huge portion! 5/5 Service is great. No one really smiles however, server Brandon was on top of it. Thank you! Refills were filled before we even had to ask and food came out hot and promptly. Overall left feeling unsatisfied. This was probably our last visit.
