Been here a few times but this is the second time I went back since their renovation. I just forgot to review the first time I was there. I ordered their lunch special - enchiladas and it's a huge plate! Plus, it comes with extra tortillas which I didn't even get to touch since I was so full. It also came with a huge drink. You definitely get your money's worth! Service is always great. Ladies are nice and friendly. This place is like a chill neighborhood spot downtown. Close to my workplace so we walk there when we want some good food. read more

Have been here once before for lunch, so decided to give breakfast a go since I got to work early. Very casual place with menus on the table tops and friendly staff. Had the huevos rancheros with a pork chop. Everything was good. The pork chop was a little tough but tasty. Over hard eggs (I know!) were perfect!! Perfect! Good chunky ranchero sauce and beans. Glad this place in near the office. read more

Hubby had breakfast tacos at this cute mom and pop shop. The carne guisada was tasty and the BCG taco was well stuffed. Breakfast all day. Service was great. Seats about 30 to 40. Plenty of parking. Standby for downtown SA. This little gem is about 1 mile walk from the Hyatt Regency Riverwalk hotel. read more

Delicious Tex Mex classics and a value priced lunchtime specials menu make this little cafe a true gem. The service was excellent. Our ice tea, chips and salsa were always kept full. Perfect puffy tacos, too. Recommended. read more

This is local. I am the only tourist here, and I am a native Texan. I have been many times over the years. This place is a good reminder that you can still get juevos rancheros for less than 10$ with a coffee. It's good food for way less dinero than hip places in town. read more

Walked here for breakfast while downtown San Antonio for an appointment. Comforting hole in the wall cafe. Breakfast was good, home made corn & flour tortillas, & great customer service! read more

So delicious!! Best hole in the wall taco place ever. Service was absolutely wonderful!! read more

Great prices, though the portions are a little small. Cute building. Easy parking. Friendly service. I really liked the flour tortillas.

great service and good price I would really recommend this place good ice cream great workers

This is an amazing hometown restaurant!! The food is always great, and the staff is always excellent!

This is a great go-to hole in the wall place (with hole in roof for a tree) with fantastic weekday lunch specials. I'm surprised how few people are in here at lunch other than local office workers like myself. read more

I've been going to this restaurant for years and the food is just as good. The employees are chill and offer great customer service.

Been having breakfast here for years and the food and service has never disappointed. My go-to dish is the Chilaquiles with flour tortillas. The eggs and chips are topped with a classic shredded cheddar cheese and make a great little taco if you use the flour tortilla to wrap it up in and put some of the green salsa on top. Additionally, the service is impressive with many of the servers making an effort to remember your order and make you feel welcome when you walk in the door after they notice you've been coming there frequently. Definitely recommend stopping by to give this spot a try! read more

Oasis Cafe - Chilaquiles with flour tortillas - Cafes Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

I hate leaving such a low rating for a family-owned business, but our experience at Oasis Cafe leaves me with little choice. First, it should be said that the people here are extremely friendly. The place, though it's divey, is pretty clean. Parking is a pain. -- As out-of-towners, we didn't know that we couldn't park in the lot adjacent to the restaurant, so we put ourselves at risk of being towed. (We were fortunate that such didn't happen.) Most regulars during our visit were parking on the street, and there seemed to be plenty of it. We drove way out of the way to eat breakfast here, based entirely on such a positive Yelp following. I had a couple of tacos-- barbacoa and chicharron w/ egg. My wife ordered migas. Really, all you have to do is look at the photos I uploaded to see my complaints. The migas were essentially tortilla chips that appeared as if they were dipped in egg, then cooked until over-dry, with nary a leaf of cilantro. Very disappointing. ~ My barbacoa was average ... no complaints. But my chicharron and egg taco was very similar to my wife's migas. Pork rinds placed atop an overcooked egg portion, then folded in a tortilla. Perhaps Oasis has its own house recipes for these classic Tex-Mex breakfast dishes, and that's fine. But the stuff we were served, albeit hot and fresh, just seemed like it wasn't prepared with much love. Still, I wish this business well and hope that they use the less-than-stellar reviews (such as this one) to improve. read more

If you are downtown, this is a solid choice. I wouldn't go out of my way to ear here, but it is a good family restaurant if you are in the area. The carne guisada is exceptional. The other food choices are good but not great. Lunch specials are generous and a great value compared to most downtown eateries. The place is divey, but very clean with a 98 health score rating when I went. There is NO free parking. read more

Delicious and friendly staff, my food came out so fast! Awesome $9.95 daily specials includes chips and a tea

first time going, tacos were very good lots of flavor and coffee brewed to perfection will definitely recommend my families here

San Antonio Mexican food. Great burgers too. And it's close enough for me to walk to at lunch downtown. Blanco cafe closed so this is my new enchilada fix. read more

So good so yummy and waitress was so nice. Was just downtown and picked it for its prices. Recommend!

This Tex Mex dive is on the money! Just the right amount of grease and lard to suck up the sins of last night. The breakfast tacos are the kind you miss if you try regular ol tacos at any chain restaurant. They always answer the phone and bring the order right to my office with a smile and still hot from the grill. Authentic Tex Mex! read more

Chilaquiles Absolutely good!!! Tortillas were fresh and crispy, eggs cooked just right with onions. The green sauce just the right amount of spice. The beans and potatoes standard. Comes with soft homemade tortillas very good. Put them all together in the tortillas and you have a chilaquiles breakfast burrito. read more

Best price, authentic quality, free tea with specials and always free chips and salsa! Working and living downtown, this has quickly become my hidden oasis - pun intended. I usually only share this gem with some of my closest friends, here it is! Come here for lunch and leave feeling full under 10$ with tip. Service: is extremely fast, the menus are embedded into tables with rotating daily specials and regular specials at $6.50 with free tea! Food: As a usual, they already have my sweet tea ready. Get the tea! Next up, I almost always get the Senorita Special (however, I never wear a dress). This place reminds me of my grandma with a authentic enchilada, puffy taco (with your choice of meat), rice/beans and a cheese chalupa! Let's talk about the chalupa, it's a corn tortilla fried into a flat big chip topped with melted cheese - plain and simple, my fav. They usually offer meatloaf on Thursdays as a "secret item", It comes with (real) mashed potatoes and gravy. The meatloaf was just okay, too many onions for my taste. Walk in, eat and out in under 30 minutes. Seriously, just thank me later. read more

Hidden Gem!! Definitely a diamond in the rough...yes rough! Okay, this is NOT a fancy tourist TexMex /Mexican restaurant, instead it is a local dive in which you will find hard working locals getting traditional local cuisine for just a few dollars. While the Oasis doesn't look like much, both from the outside and inside, the food and service are both first rate!! Today I had the Oasis's daily special, (TexMex / Mexican equivalent to the traditional American Diner's blue plate special), 3 chicken enchiladas with molè sauce, refried beans, rice, and lettuce tomatoe salad, served with your choice of wheat or corn tortillas ( I chose corn). The corn tortillas are house made freshly pressed and come out piping hot. The Molè sauce was spot on, I mean I was wiping the molè with the tortillas while thinking do I have enough tortillas or should I just lick the plate. Okay, the 2nd best part (1st was the Molè) was the cost, which was $6.50, which included ice tea. Finally the service was awesome, the 3 waitresses were quick, polite, accurate, efficient... something a lot of the high priced Riverwalk restaurants don't have. Hidden Gem!!! Awesome food, service, and cost.... no brainer.... 5 stars!!! read more

Now this is what I call a nice mom and pop authentic breakfast spot! Really good prices with a great staff. We went for breakfast. I got the Migas. It's a big portion size. It tastes pretty good especially when you pair it with the house red sauce. My wife got the huevos rancheros. The eggs were nice and runny like she loves. Both come with home made corn tortillas. She really liked the tortilla and runny egg combination. Again a good portion size. The coffee was good. But the staff was great at making sure the cup was full. The only thing is that the outside looks a little run down and the ceiling needs a little TLC. I would like to return and try the breakfast tacos or even the lunch specials. read more

An awesome whole in the wall! Real Mexican food - so don't expect chips and salsa when you sit down. That's how you know you're not eating at El Chico's. This was a refreshing break from dining with tourists on the river. Strong, hot coffee. Yummy, cheap breakfast platters. Mouth-watering, savory breakfast tacos! Just go already. My husband and I ordered coffee, five breakfast tacos, and the Huevos Rancheros plate for $14.62!!! I hate to admit it, but we couldn't finish it all. Go hungry! read more

In town for a couple days and came here for breakfast. Totally divey place but excellent food and you can't beat the prices! My husband and I got three breakfast tacos each, expecting them to be small like street tacos. They were much bigger than expected. Two would have been fine, but at that price, why not get three! Guisada is delicious. The chilaquiles taco super delicious. Egg and bacon taco delicious. Chorizo a la Mexicana delicious. Those are all the ones I remember us ordering. Coffee is also pretty good. This will definitely be a hot spot for us when we visit San Antonio. read more

My husband and I were looking for a decent Mexican food restaurant and were pointed to Oasis restaurant by the gentlemen at Bunz. The carne guisada and Picadillo tacos were excellent. They have great daily specials and is inexpensive to boot. We are here for a few days, so we will be coming back. Breakfast ends at 11am. They close at 3pm and at 2pm on Saturday. It's not fancy but the food more than makes up for it. Enjoy! read more
