Best Oscars there is. The Oscar's in surprise don't even have agua frescas, dessert or a salsa bar. Service was also very welcoming and fast for three orders

Carnitas Taco Al Pastor Taco Crispy Chicken Taco
naomi k.

Food is so FIRE! definitely recommend the Al pastor taco, they fill the taco so much and it comes with two tortillas so you literally get 2 tacos for the price of one, not only that, it's loaded with GUAC and pico, they also have a SALSA BAR, limes, cucumber, many different salsas, onion jalepenos. They also have daily specials only listed in store, but not online. $2.75 extra stuffed tacos (not street taco size.. BIGGER!) for taco Tuesday. Definitely recommend stopping in! I went to the taco spot down the road and waited in line for 15 minutes without being helped, left there and came here to Oscar's instead and I'm so glad I did! A hidden gem and the salsa bar honestly just makes it worth it

Taco n Enchiladas

Excellent service with authentic Mexican food that is always a great deal. One of the better salsa bars with a great selection- including fresh peppers, onions, carrots, cucumbers, radish, and limes! We had the Street Tacos plate, Carnitas Plate, and combo Taco and Enchilada plate. All were excellent!

Solid mexican food. Welcoming service. The quesabirria tacos were some of the best I've ever had. Will 100% return!!

You can get the world's most expensive taco at the Grand Velas Los Cabos for $25,000 USD. Available at the resort's Frida restaurant, the culinary masterpiece includes such premium ingredients as langoustine, Kobe beef, Almas Beluga caviar, and black truffle brie cheese. While you might not get langoustine or Kobe beef, here at Oscar's Tacos Shop, you can still get some good eats at a more affordable price tag. I ordered the Combo #2 - Crispy Tacos, one potato and one chicken. Both crispy tacos were just what I needed before running my errands. I know what you want to ask, "Joyce, you ate a heavy meal before errands and didn't fall into a food coma?" I did and I was energized! Don't sleep on their beans either because they serve them thicc here. THICC. The rice was decent too. I'd love to shake Oscar's hand because these were some great tacos.

I ordered lunch online today for pickup. This time I got the chicken asada burrito. It comes with chicken, pico & guacamole. I added sour cream, beans & cilantro. My work is just down the street. I left & when I got there it was only a couple minutes before my order was ready. The bag was heavy for just a burrito. The burrito was huge & fat! It was full of chicken and the other stuff. They wrap it in aluminum foil to keep it warm. I was going to take a picture, but I was so hungry I started eating it. By the time I thought to take a pic I was already 6 bites in. I could only eat half of it. I brought the other half home. Should make for a good lunch this weekend. The place was packed, so ordering online is the way to go. Plus you earn rewards. After you spend so much you get money off. This is definitely my go to place for Mexican food for lunch!

3.8 % to eat in on top of tip for blah food take your business elsewhere ............. No sign no informing the public and when you ask, they just say yes for sitting inside. Look at the note on top of the receipt. I guess that's their new policy within 24 hours disclaimer lol See the difference in price to the right that's 3.8 %to eat in crappy food to The charge does not say eat in I asked the counter person at 3.8 percent per item plus tip to eat in

Best tacos and taco deal in town. Been here a bunch. 3 quesabirria tacos for $12.99 last I was there. I can eat two and trying to work up to all three. Service is a little slow but worth the wa

Quesabirras
Erica B.

Loved, loved, loved the Quesabirras. The flavors were out of this world. Plenty of beef in the sauce, perfect about of salt, lime and onion. Party of 2 stopped in for Taco Tuesday (single tacos $2.25, I believe). We ordered two fried crispy chicken tacos, one Quesabirras special (comes with a foundation drink) and one beef burrito. The burrito and tacos came out as soon as we sat down. The quesabirras took a few minutes, which I appreciate. Again, the flavors of the beef were perfect, the meat however, was tough, in both the Quesabirria and the burrito. The chicken on the tacos were tough and dry. We both took 2 bites and left the rest. Service was quick and friendly. I'd visit again!!! Service was

Breakfast burrito for under $10 and it filled me up, but I probably won't be back. Salsa bar was pretty average.

We stopped in to give it a try. I ordered a chicken quesadilla which ended up being more like a burrito. It was very good, but not at all like what you think of when quesadilla comes to mind. I think it could've had a little more flavor. It was very mild and the green sauce they gave us was too watery and I didn't care for it. I had a side of beans which were good. Hubby had the carne asada burrito which he thoroughly enjoyed. Packed full of meat. The portions are huge and the prices are good. I will definitely go back. We went inside and took our order to go, but now I know the drive thru makes this even more appealing.

Came here for our Friday lunch date a couple of weeks ago (but forgot to write a review)…read more We had a couple of their tacos (I had the Al Pastor as it was only available on a Wednesday ‍ and the wife had the Costra taco and it was all pretty good. Great flavors. We shared their Flamingo (crispy rolled flour tacos stuffed with cheese blend and roasted anaheim pepper, topped with lettuce, sour cream, avocado salsa, pico de gallo and cotija cheese) - VERY GOOD! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! We both had the Modelo Especial with lunch as well, as you gotta do it right! Service was quick as it wasn't that busy when we arrived and were seated - but it got busy not long after.. You can see its a popular place and right in the heart of Tempe so no surprises! It's not a noisy place but far, and quite open, so its pretty average for noise. We will be back - as there are some great foodie places around in Tempe, and Taco Chelo is definitely one of them!

So my husband said these are the best tacos he has had and his favorite of any we have had in…read morePhoenix. I felt different. First of all, eating anywhere in Tempe, starts with a frustrating time.... Trying to find parking and having to pay to park. I don't understand why restaurants don't have parking for customers. Idk maybe I don't know where to look. Second, it's hot AF in here. I feel sorry for the guys cooking. It's 105 today and the restaurant is so small, it's probably impossible to keep cool during the summer. Finally, the food. It all tastes very fresh! NO SEED OILS is amazing. I feel like I have won something when I find a restaurant that uses olive oil and beef tallow to cook in. Best corn tortillas I have had for sure. We basically tried one of each taco. (Although some of the tacos we ordered were wrong, so we just kept adding) not a big deal, because they were delicious and we loved them. I felt like the carne was chewy but my husband loves chewier meat. The taco with the marlin was my favorite. And the one that came out kind of like a cheese crisp. It's loud in here and again the space is very small. They do not serve wine at all. But yummy margaritas! The bartender is working solo and working hard! She busted her butt and did an amazing job. And smiled the entire time. She was awesome

We also use to love the sushi side. During Covid, we tried the sushi for the first time. We were hesitant as it's a Mexican joint, right? Not a Japanese specialty shop. So to my surprise, I couldn't believe the sushi especially the Las Vegas roll and their Nigiri cuts were pretty dang good. My disappointment seems to be this last year with the sushi just hasn't been the best or fresh tasting. The Las Vegas roll was always nice and warm but with an awesome cold center and fried to perfection and the sauce just right. Lately it's been the opposite. Super over fried were all you can taste is old burnt oil and it dried out and the sauce just bland and not helping at all. The other thing that bothers us is the lack of wasabi they give! If you're not going to give us full flavor, at least give more wasabi to help mask. I will say they give you plenty of soy sauce packets (just barely any wasabi).

Best hole in the wall restaurant for quesabirrias!…read more They're open daily except Mondays - Tues-Thurs - 9am-9pm - Fri & Sat - 9am-10pm - Sun - 9am-8pm Parking was easy since the parking lot is pretty spacious and it isn't shared with too many other businesses. Service was so friendly and welcoming! Pricing was very reasonably priced and the portions are so generous. Inside was spacious and had plenty of seating. The Quesabirria ($3.99) was so delicious! It was stuffed with tender and juicy shredded beef! It was packed with flavor and the dipping sauce was so good! The taco was so cheesy and fresh! Definitely a must get! Horchata ($4.64) was good and refreshing. It had lots of cinnamon on the bottom so definitely needed a good stir prior to drinking. It was very sweet but definitely one of the better Horchatas I've had since it didn't taste artificial. Overall, I really enjoyed my experience and would definitely return and recommend!

Such a great Mexican place! I would recommend this place extremely highly!…read more Food: I got the chicken quesadilla which was probably the best flavored quesadilla I've had in a while. They give you bottles of source to use which I loved. We also got the quesabarilla which is beef based, so I didn't have any. But my friends review was 10/10 in terms of flavors Drinks: horchata was really sweet for me. But the drinks are substantial so I'd recommend getting 1 to share Service: good service! Ambience: no frills space! There is ample seating which was great!

Taquitos Jalisco absolutely delivered…read more I came in hungry and left questioning whether I've been disrespecting Mexican food everywhere else. Everything that hit the table looked amazing, but the taste somehow still exceeded expectations. The birria ramen was hands-down the star--rich, flavorful, and loaded with tender meat. You know it's good when you catch yourself taking "just one more bite" ten times. The burritos were huge and stuffed like they actually care about feeding people, not just filling a tortilla with rice. The carne asada was juicy, well-seasoned, and cooked perfectly. The tacos were also legit--fresh cilantro, onion, cabbage, and meat that actually had flavor (way too many places forget that part). The rice and beans were classic comfort food, and even the aguas frescas were ridiculously refreshing. What really stood out though was that nothing felt lazy. Every plate looked made with intention. Portions were generous, food came out hot, and the salsas had actual kick. Taquitos Jalisco feels like one of those spots you find once... and suddenly you're making excuses to go back. If you're debating whether to stop here, this is your sign. Go hungry. Would absolutely come back.

Stopped in on a Saturday afternoon couldn't get in the parking lot…read more OK, this place has to be good. I'll come back. Came back two days later went through the drive-through and ordered by Diablo carne Asada burrito. The smell that came through the drive-through window made my mouth water immediately. I couldn't wait to get home. Only to open my burrito and find it to be 90% rice. A few scraps of steak in my $15 burrito. Such a disappointment. The only reason I gave it two stars is because it was actually spicy
