    a happy valentine's day sign
    Nathan W.

    This place has become quite disappointing. The service is still very good, but the food has dropped significantly in quality. I took my mother here for dinner one evening and her fish tacos were freezing cold, which is a safety hazard considering that cold fish uncooked is quite dangerous. She had to take it back in order a whole brand new order. My burrito was unfortunately cold, which was not promising. This is unfortunate because this place was one of my favorite taco shops in town and now it has let me down. The ambience is still very quaint and casual but the food I am afraid has suffered greatly.

    Carnitas Taco, Fish Taco, Churro
    Charlie L.

    I've been obsessed with the fish tacos here for about 5 months. I thought I was over it, but nope. I usually go to the drive thru, but on an occasional Taco Tuesday I will eat in the restaurant. Sometimes on Taco Tuesday I save up on room in the rumbly tumbly so I can also get the carnitas taco (juicy and delicious) and a churro too. Is it fancy? No, but I don't need it to be. It's solid goodness that's relatively easy on the pocketbook and reliably tasty. The lady at the drive through window is efficient even though the food prep sometimes takes a minute. Honestly, I don't mind the wait because don't we all need to slow down a bit anyway? I appreciate the time to just sit there and do nothing aside from dream about the taco(s) I'll soon be enjoying. Love me some Oscar's.

    Potato, Egg, & Cheese Breakfast Burrito
    Ana-Gabriella C.

    Love this place. Staff is always efficient and kind, food is delicious and hot with so many options, and the drive-thru is my favorite thing ever lol. I always get the potato, egg, and cheese breakfast burrito. The fish tacos are yummy, and the churros are like the ones from Jack in the Box, but bigger. Whenever I order takeout they package everything very nicely and I appreciate that.

    Carne asada and fish tacos, with rice and refried beans.

    This is quite a pleasant find after my visit to my eye doctor next door. It is a modest, no-frills taco shop but the food is excellent and the service is very friendly. I ordered a fish taco and a carne asada taco with rice and beans. Everything was really tasty and the tacos were generously filled. Definitely worth a visit if you are in this area of North Scottsdale.

    Chimichanga Combo and Carnitas Taco
    Sharon I.

    Delivered hot and fresh! Ordered food via Uber Eats and the food was delivered still hot. I ordered a side of carnitas taco which I hate to say but it was really dry and lacked flavor. I really wanted to like it but just couldn't. As for the chimichanga, it was deep fried beautifully, the shredded beef was seasoned nicely but wasn't my favorite. The overall plate was great and hearty for the price. 3 Yass from me.

    Continue to choose this as my number one "fast takeout taco spot". The tacos are delicious - crunchy, full, flavorful (shredded chicken, shredded beef and birria are my three favs), the chips and cheese is delicious, the breakfast burritos are amazing, and I love their red and green salsas. Definitely recommend if you're in the mood for fast, tasty tacos!

    Bean rice and cheese burrito wrapped in red ,2 shredded beef tacos ,2 shredded beef enchiladas with bean and rice . Free drink with combo.

    Taco Tuesday ! $3.50 tacos . In town once or twice a year and love this place for its bean rice and cheese burritos. Today is taco Tuesday so I picked up 2 shredded beef hard shell tacos , cheese bean and rice burrito, and shredded beef enchilada combo with rice and beans . Delish ! Even at 9 am in the morning so tasty and flavorful . My daughter visited and had a burrito frozen and flew back to New York .... Defrosted when she got home and she said it tasted the same ! Nice staff clean inside and easy to find . Also has a drive thru for those in a hurry .

    Great food, the guac and chips are awesome but the 3 tacos for $12.99 can't be beat. Scottsdale is best location so far. Super clean too

    Got a chip with six layers!
    SySy G.

    First off, the customer service was amazing, the lady was so nice and got our orders perfectly. Second, the food was amazing! I got the Arizona burrito and It was so jam-packed with flavor and food I couldn't finish it! The music was good, as it was a Mexican restaurant, it played Spanish music. This was my first review and I am happy it is a 5 star, hope whoever is reading this has a nice day!

    Do they serve flour tortilla tacos?

    No not typically. I bet if you ask nicely they might make an accommodation for you.

    Do they have menudo on weekends?

    The Oscar's located on Scottsdale Road does not serve menudo. You might mention this to the Scottsdale location and they may consider it. At one time the Phoenix location served menudo on the weekends. Call them in advance as the pandemic may…

    This review is for the totality of the experience…read more I made an advance reservation at Alma Scottsdale for a mid-sized group of 7 to celebrate a special occasion. Our party arrived right on time for our reservation, but we were not seated until 15 min later because our table was not ready. It took about an additional 15 min to get tap water for the table (there was not enough provided anyways), and to place our orders too another ~20 min. The food did not arrive until 30 min later. For context, we eventually learned that the restaurant was short staffed and the bartender was also operating as our waiter. When the food finally arrived, there was a mix-up on what was delivered. We had checked with the staff who delivered one of the dishes: we ordered the "wild mushroom" side, but what we received did not look quite like it. We asked clarifying questions x2, but were assured, "no, it is the wild mushroom." Turned out, it was the mushroom empanada that was delivered to our table, which we originally did not order. The management did rectify the situation upon the conclusion of the event when we were paying the bill, but to us, it felt a bit accusatory as if we intentionally wanted to cause a huge fuss about the final total, which was absolutely not the case. The food in general was delicious. If this was a more standard dining experience, it would have been 4-5 stars just for the food. The service was very subpar, and really colored the entire experience negatively, therefore the two star review. I understand that staffing shortages happen -- fine. My family has worked in food service as wait staff for 25+ YEARS, so I am empathetic. But for management to ring up our bill and then come confront us in an inflammatory manner, making us feel like we were wrong, on an occasion to celebrate something special, was extremely disappointing.

The ceviche was incredibly fresh and super flavorful definitely worth the $28 as you can taste the quality ingredients. I love that they have a summer $8 happy hour!

Sat at a high top, was busy but our waitress was an epic failure. Ordered two margaritas as it was on special. Got sweet corn and two happy hour tacos. The corn came fast enough was great as always. Tacos came almost 45' later, had to wave the waitress down for more beans and it took two times before it came. The food was so long in coming we thought hard about just leaving... just a few more minutes - 45' for two tacos ? Manager did come by to ask how things were and felt bad for our more than 45' wait said he'd take 25 off the bill, he came around again said he'd take 50 off, that was a surprise and we declined till we saw the bill. Look at the bill!!!No discount for happy hour, two new items we never ordered, yeah a discount but ended up paying for what we ordered for happy hour and margarita day discount. What a failure of service and cluster from this waitress. Can't figure if she just added more items and charges us full price or the manager thought we were that stupid.. thinking the waitress was that stupid and she thought we wouldn't notice ?
