I've gotten El Oasis 20+ times, and it's consistently excellent. Whenever I want fast Mexican food,…read moreI go there instead of Taco Bell, and it's always so much better and a better value. El Oasis especially needs our support now with the construction on Michigan. You can get there by taking a right on Francis off Saginaw. Today, I got the asada big burrito. It hit the spot. Plenty of fresh ingredients evenly disbursed. I also love their breakfast burrito, tortas, and sopes. The food is always ready in 10 to 15 minutes. Get some!

Hit or miss. Sometimes I get an entire burrito full of rice and other times it is good. Tacos are…read morethe way to go here. I like the people that work there as they are kind enough, just wish I didn't often end up with a rice burrito for 9 dollars

The customer service was good. We were in somewhat of a hurry and received our food quickly…read more We ordered 2 chicken and a beef taco. The chicken was flavorless and dry. The salsa that came with chips was flavorless and the chips were just ok. we also ordered a cheesecake chimichanga and that was actually really good. It wasn't oily had a great ratio of filling to dough.

We waited about 5 minutes for a table. All of the staff is barely drinking age and all were fine…read moreservice wise, but nothing above the bare minimum effort. If you want to eat good food, hear yourself think, and talk--don't go here. If you want food that is seasoned, don't go here. I don't even know what to compare this place to because I've had better cafeteria food in middle school. I mean, truly, literally nothing is good here. The margaritas? Weak. Hot queso? Boring. The chicken quesadilla? Cheesy, but nasty. I mean, really, realllllly hard to eat. I'm sorry that I don't have any good remarks to say about this place, but i'm just shocked that it has business. It seriously must only be because of the location. Oh, and if you're pondering eating here and think, "I bet the chips and salsa are at least good"--you'd be wrong. Hard pass.

Can only speak to their takeout, not dine-in, but we certainly tried out a variety of dishes!…read more Location is pretty convenient, just outside Costco. You finish shopping and there's Fiesta Charra if you're hungry. We got the following: - chicken taco salad: there was very little of the salad, rice, and beans, but heaps of shredded chicken - poblano chicken: this was a hit with the group. The chicken was cut in tiny strips, was well cooked and seasoned. Tasty! - chicken quesadilla: flavorful! Was meant for the kids but the adults enjoyed it too - chicken enchiladas: covered in a tasty sauce, very comforting. - shrimp Diablo: they were out of the tilapia, so we got the shrimp instead. This was the other hit of the night! The sauce was hot and delicious. - there were plenty of sides to go around, rice, beans, lettuce, salsa, though we could have done with more chips Overall, I'd recommend when you're craving Mexican American cuisine!

The service is what really sucked unfortunately, waiter was busy which I understand. But he took our orders, got mine wrong (asked for enchiladas and got the saddest looking quesadillas instead) then disappeared for 30 min and had to hunt him down to get water refills, more chips and salsa, and the bill. It was decent enough I'd go back and give them another shot, but was not overly impressed on the first trip.

I had enchiladas & it came out super fast but as I ate, I realized it was cold inside (as in, pre-plated and heated before serving but not long enough). Would have been happy to wait longer for properly cooked food but as it was, my kids were getting antsy so we didn't ask to have it redone. Also, had digestive issues next few days which I suspect were from that meal. I'm sure there must be better Mexican food somewhere else in Lansing.

First time in East Lansing (daughter looking at Grad Schools)…read more This was a wonderful first meal. Busy spot, but our waitress handled us & several other large parties like a pro.

I got the grilled chicken Caesar wrap and it was sooo good. The amount of dressing on it was perfect and the Parmesan crusted on the wrap was the perfect touch.
