Great food- here or to go. My first taste was as takeout, and despite my food traveling almost 40 minutes to get to me, it was delicious! Today, my husband and I stopped in to eat and were greeted warmly and all of our menu questions were answered. We had only a small wait for our food, and it was even better in person. I'm looking forward to going back soon to try some other menu items. I'm hooked on the bowls! read more

The Taco Shack - Havana Chicken bowl! Topped with plantains- delicious - Tacos Near Me - Oil City, Pennsylvania

Best Mexican food in western Pa! Fish tacos are AMAZING! I've had them at several other restaurants and they don't compare! Their burritos are huge. Believe it or not, the owners are Croatian but their food is straight up Mexican! Love it! read more

Who would think that there would be decent tacos in Oil City. Honestly, I didn't know anything about Oil City other than they have or maybe had oil there, and it seems to be in the middle of nowhere. We were looking for somewhere to grab lunch on the way back from looking at a cabin for sale and this place had the highest Yelp reviews of anywhere in the area, so here we went. We both got burritos with chicken and all the veggies, chips, and water. The burritos are HUGE, ingredients seemed fresh, everything tasted great. We also tried one of the specialty desserts, and it was AMAZING! Definitely recommend this place if you are in the area. read more

Food is very good and there are lots of choices. I like you can order a burrito and have whatever you want in it. read more

The food service is horrible. I have no clue what the staff are doing. The owner is creepy no clue what he's doing. The floor s a tables absolutely disgusting. Bugs spiders, black floors. Not to mention the fact that the food is poor quality the rice is hard. Missing half of my order an half the time the owner is never to be seen. read more

Plant based "meat" in Oil City almost seems impossible. For there to be a vegan option in Oil City is wonderful! The food is delicious! What a neat little place to eat at. Definitely recommend if you're a full time resident or someone just passing through read more

I reviewed this restaurant 2 years ago and back then the food was great and that was true, but I can't say that now. We ordered some food yesterday and picked it up and took it home. Boy, what a difference 2 years can make. The burrito I ordered was bland the rice was under cooked, we got a side guacamole and when we opened the lid it looked like vomit the avocado was brown with red mushy tomatoes and the taste was even worse. Then we took the lid off the queso and it was as gross as the guacamole, it had lumps in it and the color was brown and not a light cream. We won't be back, such a disappointment, the only place around here that used to have good food but no longer does. read more

Paid $28 for 2 basic, bland burritos. Was disappointed, but not surprised considering Oil City has very limited dining options.

Rice was undercooked, meat was overcooked, I don't think there were any seasonings to be found other than salt and pepper. Horribly bland and overpriced. Got tacos and a surf n turf bowl, wouldn't recommend either. read more

I'm visiting my parents for a few days from Pittsburgh and saw this place on my way in. I eat burritos probably 3+ times per week so I was happy to see this place pop up in oil city. I got a veggie burrito and it was really good. It's nice to find places here that are vegetarian friendly since that's rare to find in oil city. I wanted to try out the guacamole but they were out since it was late and a holiday, totally understandable. I'll definitely be swinging into The Taco Shack next time I'm visiting to snag a burrito and some of that guac. The people working there, I'm assuming the owners?, were really welcoming and friendly and made the experience enjoyable. It was nice to order something without meat or dairy and not be judged. Go here. It's good. The people are super nice. Oil city needs something like this. read more

Finally. In the 25+ years I've lived in or visited the area, there has never been any available restaurant option like this. I spend most of time in San Diego, CA (where there are taco shops on almost every corner), so I'd like to think I'm sort of an expert on Mexican food. The Taco Shack has plenty of tasty choices (beef, chicken, fish, etc.) all freshly prepared in a Mexican American style that I would most closely liken to chipotle (but without the corporate vibe and much lesser quality of a franchised chain). Several of my family members and I had lunch here and a was sure to sample everyone's plate. Great portions and fair prices. We all left satisfied and feeling great. This is an outstanding family owned casual dining joint and my new favorite place to eat in the region! Keep up the great work guys! read more

I have loved everything that I have eaten here. My new go to place to eat! So glad to have this place in Oil City! The staff is super awesome and helpful and you can order everything the way you want it Basically a make your own type place.

The Taco Shack - Tacos Near Me - Oil City, Pennsylvania

Yummy food! The staff is very friendly & helpful. Prices are a little high, but not terribly so.

It is a disgusting place. They are well known for bugs, and anytime it is brought up... the owner will pick a fight and then bash you on your social media post. Their employees could care less, and the ones that they did have that were good... quit because the owner won't let them clean up the place! Now on to the food, the tacos are subpar at best.... No flavor and the meat is dry! The prices aren't worth the quality! read more

The Taco Shack is an amazing little restaurant! I had the Surf N Turf Bowl (sirloin & shrimp) and it was awesome. The employees were polite and helpful. The restaurant itself was clean and nicely decorated. The Taco Shack is by far the best Mexican food I have had in years. If you like Mexican food you gotta try Taco Shack. Even if you don't like Mexican food, stop in for a rice bowl and let them change your mind. read more

The Taco Shack - Surf N Turf Bowl - Tacos Near Me - Oil City, Pennsylvania

Surprisingly good food from this small town restaurant! The staff was very friendly and explained the menu options to us as this was our first visit. The fish tacos were not great-really just a fried fish stick in a soft tortilla. The pork nachos were excellent, though! Plenty of meat and toppings and fresh crunchy chips. Try this place if you're in the mood for this kind of food. Would definitely stop here again! read more

This place is trendy. Slightly pricey. Per dish. However u can do a lot of creating ur own dishes at this place. I created a cold Mexican salad. All fresh! Veggies, black beans, corn, chicken and don't forget, cilantro!!! U can't say this dish was full of flavor! Plus the sauces! I usually prefer a Mexican restaurant with a salsa bar! To add all the garnished u want. But if ur looking for really good Mexican food in oil city.. this tiny in town place is it!!! Enjoy! Robin in pa. read more

Amazing food great hospitality and wonderful service the interior is nice great place to go as a group or by yourself only downside is it can be a little pricy but other then that amazing read more

Delicious Fresh Homemade Tex/Mex! The staff was so friendly! Since this was our first visit they explained their menu and options and specifically asked us about the various toppings available on the nachos & Steak bowl. This was a random stop for us because we're not from that area, but if we're ever up the Venango/Oil City way again we'll be sure to stop at The Taco Shack! read more

I've gotten food to go from this establishment a few times now and it's been good every time. Fresh ingredients made into tasty food quickly while you wait. Nice folks working each time. I'd have eaten a few more times if they were open on Mondays. read more

This place is super. We lived in Texas for ten years and confirm it's real Tex-Mex. Super friendly staff. If they open for breakfast and serve breakfast tacos, I'll definitely be first in line! read more

Great customer service. Friendly attentive staff. Made suggestions & explained the menu. Fresh homemade meals. I had the Surf n Turf bowl today. Amazing! The beef was so tender & flavorful. The shrimp was cooked perfectly. If you're in the area visiting or reside here you need to go here. I loved my meal. Thanks for giving me a great experience. Even offered refills for my fresh brewed iced tea. Cleaned our table off. I wish I loved closer. We were in town visiting Oil City State Park. I was starved from hiking & this meal replaced all the nutrients I needed. Healthy & fresh ingredients. Delicious! read more

First time here and it was some seriously good Mexican food. Had the fish tacos and there were great (three huge tacos)! I would highly recommend! read more

I had the St Patrick's Day special. Awesome. Otto had Sirloin Steak special. So big I had to eat the other half.

I'm from state college and was in town on work. I'm so sad that I can't eat here everyday. EVERYTHING IS SO GOOD. Get the chicken quesadilla, you won't regret it! I love this place. The service was perfect as well. So, do you guys deliver to state college by chance?? LOL read more

Driving through on the way to camp and stopped here for dinner. Very helpful staff with good authentic homemade Mexican fare. Order at the counter then find a seat they'll bring it out to you. Build your own or order their specials. Very clean newer facility. Easy parking and access to route 8 and 62. Reasonable prices, good food and nice people. Give them a shot. read more

I loved the vibe and the food was great. I love the touch of music too. The restaurant was very clean and the staff was welcoming. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is because I wish they had brown rice too instead of just white rice to choose from. read more

Absolutely! I'm a new fan of this taco restaurant! Had the shrimp tacos and they were crazy good.
