Great little find near downtown Lansing. Fast service and fantastic food - you can't go wrong with whatever you order.

El Oasis is the best Mexican food this side of the rio grande. I love right across the street from this truck and it's a given that I go there about once a week and I'm lucky if I'm able to resist going everyday. The big burrito is great!! And the salsa is awesome. read more

Authentic Mexican flavors. I really enjoy the carnitas and chorizo tacos. Simple and fresh with cilantro and onions. Perfecto with a coca cola read more

El Oasis - Mexican Near Me - Lansing, Michigan

We love this place!!! I've never had a bad meal here. We always get the tortas, tacos, and quesadillas. They don't water the food down here, like other places, this is authentic Mexican street food. read more

Best Mexican food!!! This truck is authentic! Love and recommend! They have great barbacoa tacos, sopes, and tamales!!!!

Real Mexican food. This seems to be the only place in the capital area with traditional and tasty Mexican food. They do have burritos but they use Mexican style of preparation and ingredients for them. read more

I visited the El Oasis truck located at Haslett and Marsh today. I was pleasantly surprised at how good the food is, especially the chicken tostada with green sauce. I hope the truck stays around--this is the best Mexican food I have had in a long time. read more

Their chips and pico de gallo are awesome (the guacamole is pretty good too, but I'm not a fan of the salsas) along with the chicken quesadillas and the shredded beef tacos (with cheese and onion)! Make sure to get some of the hot mix in a Ziploc - carrots, onions, garlic (if you're lucky to get it!), jalepenos, spices. To drink they have some authentic Mexican drinks which are ok (I can't compare them to other eateries, but their not really my cup of tea), but their Coke in a bottle is tasty. You'll either sit in your car to eat or take it to go, as this is not really a restaurant. (It reminds me of the little food places at a carnival or the fair.) As someone else has said, you may be turned off by that, but I've never seen anything icky there and I've been too many times to count...and never gotten sick or anything! I have tried a few other items but always go back to what I mentioned. Oh, the rice IMO is very good, and the beans are pretty good as well. You can get them together or separate. Since I'm not a big fan of beans, I just get the rice. Try it! :) read more

Taking into account the quality of the food and cost, this may be the best "restaurant" in the Lansing area. However, the cool thing is, it isn't really a restaurant, it is a mobile food truck/cart. I've tried almost everything on the menu and it is great. This is closer to real Mexican food than the "Americanized" Mexican food served at most restaurants. I can't help but laugh when I'm standing in line to get my food as I think about other people who are going out for dinner in Lansing and spending 10x what I'll spend to get a meal that doesn't compare of the great flavors of El Oasis. Money truly doesn't buy everything. I highly recommend the chicken tostadas and MAKE SURE to order the Horchata / Orchata traditional Mexican drink to go with your meal. El Oasis food is SO GOOD and SO CHEAP! P.S. - This is a cash only establishment, so bring along some paper money. read more

Best in town! Try the hot green sauce. Tostotas are badass! Tacos are awesome. I never put lime juice on my Mexican food, until El Oasis. read more

Great authentic Mexican food at an awesome price. I've seen people complain that they are expensive, well is $1.50 for a quality made taco unreasonable? T-Bell charges more. read more

I could eat here every day. The portions are just right and it's always consistent. Great menu and service as well. I have tried most things on the menu and only the nachos were sub par for the cheez wiz and the chips turning to mush. The quesadillas are a glorious greasy delight. This is one of my two favorite Mexican places to eat in Lansing. read more

Freshness, value and flavor are all El Oasis attributes. I've only tried the sopes, shredded beef and marinated pork wet burritos, chips and guacamole and it was all outstanding! I look forward to trying it all! The breakfast burritos sound amazing. El Oasis is another good reason to live on Lansing's east side read more

Amazing food. This is the best Mexican food truck in the area. I've gone to a few places but wow. This is delicious and a fair price. I absolutely love this place and wish I could speak their language because wow! read more

If you live in Lansing and you are getting Tacos anywhere else you are doing it wrong. Hands down the best tacos in Lansing. The portions are a little small but so are the prices so just buy extra. read more

The food at El Oasis is damned fine for the price, and comes fast. Best damned food in Lansing. Not only that, but you can snag empanadas from this place. Seriously, go to El Oasis. Get the food. Now. read more

A must try spot for those on a budget!! $4 small burritos are filled with fresh ingredients like avocado. Quesadillas and tacos will be smaller than you expect. read more

Honestly, the food speaks for itself. GO HERE, you will not be disappointed. Perfect combinations of flavors served fresh & hot.

Good authentic food. Reasonable prices though small portion sizes. It is a permanently mounted food truck with covered outdoor dining area. No public restrooms. This probably accounts for the urine smell around the place. The dining patio could use a good hosing off. read more

1. Low low low low price for a really big portion of food 2. Delicousness w/simple ingredients My favorite is the tortas. And it just gives you a warm feeling ordering at the truck, and then stand around waiting and watching the shadow of the cook working inside 3. Awesome service. The guy at the window always had a gentle aura. They only accept cash. Sometimes when I was short a quarter, they just let me pass. 4. It's a food truck! It's just the trend now to eat at food trucks! 5. They are in a truck but they are here all year round! Even in the freezing winter! 6. The only reason this doesn't get 5 stars is that sometimes there are slight let downs on the food. For example, I stopped getting the hot sauce and only get the mild ones because the hot sauce tastes weird, like old oil. I also make sure not to get the "steak" meat because I got that once and it had a cartilage like thing inside and that just isn't my thing read more

Best Mexican food you will find in Lansing! Stop by and order some Carne asada tacos or a burrito, you will not be disappointed!

this place is good and cheap. some of the meats are better than others but i haven't had my coffee yet so i can't remember which is which. the beans are lardy and delicious. service with a smile. read more

I have been visiting the taco truck for years and I am never disappointed. They have the best chicken tacos ever. I have recently discovered the tostados. Today I opted for two bean tostados (you can get meat). The shell is light and crunchy and the sliced avocados on top make it absolutely awesome. Because I couldn't resist, I also ordered the taco dinner to have later. I always get the green mild sauce but there are other options. It is fairly priced too. I got two tostados, three tacos, beans, rice, a tamale, and a Mexican Coke for 16 bucks. Love this place. read more

Assholes ---This place has terrible service. I called in my order an hour before to pick it up, got to the location and they never even processed my order. When I asked for a discount and to have it delivered they declined. Won't be giving them my money again. I don't recommend el oasis to anyone who wants decent service. read more

Maybe my standards are too high being from CA but this place is not good. Very basic mediocre Mexican food. Theres another place in town that is so much better! I ordered a burrito to be delivered and they didn't put meat in it after I requested carnitas. It was mostly tortilla and rice with very little everything else. Better off going somewhere else! read more

Last time I ate here I got really bad food poisoning from their chicken tacos. It also took about 40 minutes to get our food. I will not be going back. read more

Likely the best Mexican food in Lansing... take out only... wait in the parking lot! Friendly faces.

Fantastic authentic mexican! I highly recommend the chicken quesadilla. Their mild salsa and homemade chips are to die for! Only thing I'd recommend -- come early (11 am) if you are wanting lunch! They get quite a line around noon. PS THEY NOW TAKE ALL MAJOR CREDIT CARDS :) read more

Best tacos in Lansing hands down. Authentic Mexican place. If every taco tastes like this, then I wouldn't mind having a taco truck on every corner read more

Delicious, very authentic, and reasonably priced. In my experience, the person taking orders usually isn't very personable, so customer service relies heavily on the food. I'm a HUGE fan, and am constantly tempted to stop on my way home from work. It generally takes about 10-20 minutes to get your food, so make sure you have the time. read more

I have no idea why they set up a food truck right here, but I don't care because it's absolutely fantastic. Prices are good, and the hot sauce is crazy good. Hot, with a lot of flavor. read more

Hands down my FAVORITE Mexican food in the Lansing area. Burritos are so so good, tacos are quite small so if you are hungry order a few extra but I cannot get enough of this place it's definitely worth stopping. The most authentic Mexican food in Lansing and very reasonably priced. I have NEVER had a bad meal here if you haven't tried it's a must! read more

best in lansing ive had so far..when i get cilantro and a lime on the side i already know ints authentic....need to try there breakfast burito...cant find a good one in lansing since el sombreo left read more

Was expecting better. The tacos were good, but nothing special. The tortilla's often make or break an authentic taco and these were...Meh.

I just moved back to Michigan after living in Texas for 5 years, and I knew right away that the Mexican food was one of the things I was going to miss the most. Or so I thought. read more

Cheap, good Mexican food. The quesadillas are greasy and awesome. The burritos are good, and are even better if you slather them with their hot sauce. It's fast and tasty. I stop by here often when I'm in a hurry and on the way somewhere. Very good. :) read more

Most amazing authentic Mexican food in the Greater Lansing Area! Everything is so fresh! I love the tacos, rice and beans. The price is very good and the food is outstanding!!! I love that it's a food truck! The line can get pretty long on a hot summer day, especially during lunch rush! So worth the wait! read more

I was looking for something quick and cheap for lunch, this place is awesome. Their food is authentic and has great flavor. Highly recommend if you're in the area. read more

Best authentic Mexican food I have found. I got it almost every week. Try the chicken sopes and the horchata. :)

Best tacos in Lansing! The location they have inside of Tonys Party store on cedar is where I always get my tacos from!
