    Cheese Quesadilla
    Alex K.

    Great spot for some quick and delicious food Mexican food! I've been here a few times and it has been great every time. Definitely make sure you try the breakfast burrito. It was perfect to eat after a big morning hike with my dog. I also have tried the queso (10/10) and their California burrito, which is huge and super filling. Also love their chicken quesadillas when I'm in a tight time jam and just want something quick. The staff is great whether you're dining in or getting take out. It's typically filled with kids from Vandy, but still a decent spot to eat in without chaos!

    Carnitas Quesadilla

    Decent Mexican food in the area but definitely not the best option in town. Food is pretty greasy, but portion size for quesadillas were huge and the food was filling. The quesadillas also come with an avocado and sour cream looking filling inside so beware if you have allergies or any dietary restrictions or preferences. Also the personal size queso is very small!! Not worth $4 in my opinion. Service was super quick and friendly. The inside was clean and the atmosphere was nothing notable, just ok. Overall: not my top pick in Nashville when craving Mexican food but not the worst in town either.

    So the tacos were great like last time. The service was worse- last time they had no dr, pepper. This time the didn't have dr.pepper or cherry Pepsi . 3.5 stars

    Even better than last time. They finally have a smaller rolled taco 3 or 5) order. I had the 3 rolled tacos, 1 carne asada plus refried beans. Absolutely delicious! I crave my CA style taco joint and this hits the spot!

    Incorrect order of steak tacos and receipt

    Food is good but they were unable to follow a request for a plain order. These sort of mistakes make it hard to be a returning customer.

    Staff was amazing. Food was authentic. Prices affordable. Check it out! We came in town for a concert and grabbed a taco, ok, a lot. All were great.

    This place definitely scratches that SoCal burrito itch. We ordered two burritos; a California burrito and beef burrito with beans and rice. The Cali burrito was on point and filled with crispy fries, steak, guacamole and some other goodies. This baby was huge and weighed at least a pound! The beef burrito was good, but we felt like it was mostly filled with beans and rice. This burrito was huge as well and I feel like that's the case for all of their burritos. The Korean beef taco was tasty, but lacked any sort of discernible Korean flavors. I would definitely come back to Oscars and I when I do, the Hot Cheeto Burrito is going down!

    Looking to get your Mexican fix in a hurry, this is your spot. Fast~Friendly service. Food comes out quickly and looks amazing. The restaurant is always clean and have a variety of seating areas.

    Chicken quesadilla
    kenya g.

    I never knew someone could mess up a basic quesadilla. Chicken, cheese, beans and rice. It was completely inedible. It was like it was just all thrown on a tortilla, flipped once for color and thrown in a styrofoam container. It didn't help that it was delivered extremely late by Ubereats so it was also cold. But it's a quesadilla so figured it would be ok. I was wrong. There was even a 2 for 1 special which might have been a red flag but i ordered anyway. As you can see in the photo, we didn't touch the second one, nor finish the first one. Very disappointed as this place was recommended so i tried despite the reviews i read.

    In town for the Auburn bowl game. Our first time at this resturant. Cool ambiance, very friendly staff. The food was fresh and very good. Birria Tacos were the best according to Jack !

My fiancee and dad got the birria tacos they did a pretty good job. I got the skirt steak i believe and it was ok. Tender but not too flavorful. Tasted more just like beef. I believe its marinated but i didnt really get hints of any spices. Again, I'm not saying it was terrible by any means. Just left something to be desired. We also ordered the wueso flameado and that was pretty good. Overall a good place to eat. Would recommend checking it out.

The setup inside is adorable and had a cozy, relaxed vibe from the moment we walked in. Our server, Tom, was absolutely wonderful. He even asked if we had any allergies when ordering, which we really appreciated even though we didn't have any. It honestly showed how much they care about their customers. I don't think I've ever had a restaurant ask that before! He was also super attentive and kept our waters refilled so quickly throughout the meal. One thing we really liked was the atmosphere. We loved all the fun live music spots around Nashville too, but this was a nice change of pace if you're looking for more of a chill, relaxed vibe where you can easily enjoy conversation during dinner. We both ordered the asada tacos and they were SO delicious, exactly what we needed. The rice on the side tasted incredibly fresh too, and the tomato and corn mixed into it were the perfect addition. You could tell everything was made with care. The staff was constantly cleaning tables quickly after guests left, and overall the service was just amazing from start to finish. We had such a wonderful experience and will definitely be coming back next time we're in Nashville!

Asada Tacos: Honestly, pretty bland. The meat was cooked well but it lacked any real flavor. Salmon: Nothing special. Didn't feel like high-grade fish. Pork Belly Tacos (The GOAT): Absolute life-changing Pork Belly. As someone who's eaten a lot of pork belly, this was easily the best I've ever had. I'd come back just for this. The Portion: Tacos come with rice and beans so the portions are very generous. You won't leave hungry. 4/5 stars. The only reason for the 4-star rating is that incredible Pork Belly. It carried the whole meal. Highly recommend for that dish alone!

This was my second visit, as we frequent Nashville and surrounding areas. We made reservations near the stage, but that didn't matter because the manager/hostess will put you wherever there is an open spot. There were more than ten people at a round top that would normally seat 6-7. This makes it difficult for the wait staff to maneuver, forcing trays to pop above head level. I kept having to move out of the way, as I was on the end of what I'd refer to as a trough table...you know that long table beside the bar where they put people who don't have reservations...oh wait, we did have them. Didn't matter! But if you make it to a table and decide to partake in the all you can eat, two hour time limit, SET THAT TIMER! I CANNOT BELIEVE it has a 4.9 on Google!!! The food is really heat/serve tasting at best; although it really looks beautiful. I swear the Mahi Taco looked incredible and was almost totally tasteless, not to mention it was on the colder side after being tough from being overcooked. Does make me wonder how long it was sitting after being cooked. It was definitely not cooked to order, as it was literally just a few minutes after ordering that it arrived to the table. We went during Saturday brunch, as there is live music during this slot. The $35 per person/plus 20% gratuity that is added/plus sales tax brought the total for two to right at $90. There was no alcohol consumed, although they do have $25 bottomless mimosa/vodka bar. That is likely the draw of this establishment because it's definitely not the food. The only positive I can mention is the wait staff. They are like worker bees, constantly moving to earn that 20% gratuity...maybe add to that the fact it can accommodate parties (see website) but DEFINITELY the waitstaff works hard. The parking lots on either side are paid spots but I couldn't risk the car getting blocked it, banged up from lack of markings or the gravel incline. There is heavy construction in the area, so expect to pay $20 or more to insure your car isn't in jeopardy. A parking app actually gave the parking lot a 3 due to safety concerns and inability to park in the lot. Basically people park anywhere because it isn't marked at all. And last but definitely not least, those all you can consume spots are terribly loud. I'd blame my gut grenade stomach ache on the noise because I only fully ate one small vegan taco and the tiny mahi strip out of another. Live music or not, I'll pass and find something better.
