    Shredded Beef Taco and Carne Asada Taco
    Elizabeth N.

    This is a small Mexican rest just past providence marketplace. We have been looking for a good Mexican restaurant in the area and thought we'd give this place a try. We walked in and asked the staff what they recommend since we haven't been there before. They were very helpful and gave us recommendations for their favorite options. We settled on the shredded beef crispy taco and al pastor soft taco. My husband got the carne asada soft taco and the shredded beef crispy taco. We also shared the carne asada fries. We ordered margaritas as well that were excellent. The flavor was amazing on everything we tried! We will definitely be back!

    Surf and Turf Breakfast Burrito ($10.25)

    3.5 Stars. Simple, fresh Mexican food at a casual counter spot. Pros - Super Affordable. Easy and quick to order. Food feels *fresh* and healthy - I had the Surf & Turf Burrito ($10.25) and I liked that burrito was not loaded with beans and rice and cheese all that jazz that make it super heavy - just protein and guacamole, yum! There are some more fun items on the menu like the french fry - stuffed California burrito. The "secret sauce" is super creamy and delicious. Guacamole tastes homemade and great as well. Cons - The burritos are not grilled - aw :( Maybe I'm spoiled since I am from California. It's so much better when the outside is seared a bit and not just a floppy tortilla, lol. Bright and clean interior.

    We used to go to Chipotle at least once a week, but stopped going after learning about Oscar's. They have better prices, larger portions, and friendly workers. Danny and his team always have a smile on their face, and they make sure your meal is perfect. I love getting the chicken quesadilla. It js MASSIVE and FILLED with chicken. No skimping out here! The tortillas have a little salty, crispy texture, which also adds to the flavor. Plus, it comes with a side of quac, beans, and rice that you can eat here or take home for leftovers. My wife and son love the tacos. Both soft and hard shell options are available for shrimp, beef, chicken, fish and more. Aside from the normal sodas, they have horchata and other drinks for a more authentic experience. They also serve beer, margaritas, and other adult beverages if you're feeling frisky. Highly recommend stopping by to give them a try.

    Came back to give Oscar's another try. I really enjoyed my first visit, but WOW! The surf & turf quesadilla exceeded my expectations. It was huge, packed with steak and shrimp, and sooooo tasty! The guacamole and special sauce on it gave it added pizzazz. And the guy at the counter was super friendly and helpful. Give Oscar's a try if you haven't yet. You won't be sorry.

    Still gives me all of the CA taco shop flavors and vibes. Just recently popped in here and got a few burritos for the family for dinner. My order, the classic California burrito, is perfect for the indecisive diner. Loaded with steak, french fries, guac and cheese this baddie is all flavor no filler. My son got the bean and cheese burrito, it's ok. Basically a burrito filled with side options. My wife ordered the Arizona burrito, which is marinated steak, potatoes, pico de gallo, and shredded cheese. I was surprised at how much I like this belly bomb! I loved the marinated steak! I really love their house made hot sauces. Especially that green sauce. The perfect combo of heat and flavor!

    Oscar's is a solid taco shop and it's been a nice addition to the Providence area. We've been here a few times now and each meal has been quick, very tasty, and very affordable. I've enjoyed several of their tacos and they're quite flavorful. My wife really likes the steak nachos and gets that every time we go. The portions here are quite large and a quesadilla can easily feed two adults, which is awesome. It's a good place to grab a quick and tasty meal and we'll definitely continue to come here.

    Calicheeto Burrito

    The calicheeto burrito is the supreme of burritos! California burrito with hot Cheetos, queso, and jalepenos is what I have been looking for and I wasn't even looking! Great food and the service is friendly!

    Shredded beef taco in carne asada taco with cheese
    Jeff W.

    I am from Southern California so I have eaten great Mexican food all my life, and I am 57 years old. The shredded beef taco was as good as any I have ever eaten. The carne asada taco was average: you could not taste that the meat was marinated and was cut in strips rather than cubes making it harder to eat as you have to bite through it. I had to cut mine with a knife. Rice was ok, mild flavor, nothing weird in it. Chips were ok, not cut and freshly fried like you would think they would be since they charge for them. Salsa was very good. Just enough flavor not to overpower whatever you're putting it on. They have two different types of hot sauce in bottles if you want more heat. They have combos which include two items, rice beans, and a drink for $11.25 which seems like a pretty good price. I will be back.

The crunchy yet chewy pita was a nice surprise and I enjoyed the candied pecans topping the tangy feta. The sweetness from the potatoes helped tame the bitterness that comes with most Brussels sprouts preparations. Each slider was more unique than the one before.

My ceasar salad was good, but there were large chucks of the bottom of the romaine in the salad. Again, nothing to complain about, but just lacked the extra that it would take to get 4 or 5 stars. The ranch is very very good though. I will give credit there.
