Tasty traditional breakfast at a true dive restaurant in the middle of a sketchy neighborhood. In other words, the type of place it's worth hiking to from downtown. While breakfast was good, my horchata was AMAZING. I enjoyed it for the rest of the day! I would caution people coming to be situationally aware because the neighborhood really isn't the best. read more

Nice, family owned-operated type restaurant. Very affordable with good food. If you are looking for a good place for breakfast or lunch in the San Antonio downtown area Oasis is a good choice. They have ample parking next to the restaurant - a plus! Service is good with good variety on the menu. This is a very competitive option compared with more expensive restaurants in the area. read more

A true Oasis downtown. I've been coming here for years. This is as close to some abuela's kitchen as you can get without being charged with breaking and entering... Everything on the menu is made from scratch and delicious. Chilaquiles for breakfast, enchiladas for lunch, and carne guisada for dinner. Boom! The prices are the best in town! Seriously! read more

Stopped here for lunch today before going on a walk down at Woodlawn Lake- it wasn't my new favorite but it was nice to try something new. The atmosphere was inviting and the chairs were extra comfortable. The food was good but I felt like it looked prettier than it tasted. Maybe I just needed to give it a shake of salt. The dang napkins though, haha. You know how when you go somewhere and then it turns out they have one-ply in the restroom? And you're like, "aw man"... this was like that lol, only at the table haha. I used probably like 20 of them. Anyways, thin napkins or not, I'd eat here again. But with more cheese and salt next time read more

My SO and I went here three times during our three day visit to San Antonio. So yes, we may be a little obsessed. But $5.50 for a yummy, delicious, authentic lunch entree? You'd be crazy not to. Service was fast and the staff is so friendly. It's definitely a neighborhood favorite in the mornings and it seems that everyone knows everyone else. But they'll make you feel like you've been going there for years too. We are vegetarians and there were plenty of options for us although it is helpful to mention any dietary preferences you have: we did not expect the cheese enchiladas to have a beef chili sauce by default. But they were super accommodating and it wasn't an issue at all for them. The entrees were terrific, especially the enchiladas. We also had a number of tacos. We thought that the chilaquiles were all right but the chilaquiles tacos were definitely our favorite, maybe tied with the enchiladas. They also give complimentary chips with red and green salsa. Both salsas are wonderful but the green was quite spicy (and we do pretty well with spicy). To get a sense of how affordable it is, over three days we had eight tacos and three large entrees and it came out to $36 including tax and tip. Come hungry. read more

Parking is easy down here, and it's a great place to pop in and grab something. It's generally clean, and the decor is mainly Christmas decorations year round.

Looking for a reasonably priced place to eat (so the Riverwalk's completely out) but not wanting to walk far from the Alamo, I found this place via Yelp. Thank you Yelpers, as you did not fail me. I have already recommended this place to other visitors as well! When you walk in, there's only about 10 or so tables. There's this homey feel despite being a hole-in-the-wall kind of place. The larger tables are reserved for more than two people, which makes sense. The restaurant does not want someone who's eating solo to eat at a table for four. I feel as if this was a house, and then the tables are in the addition of the house, as there are steps within the restaurant. When you are done eating, you go up the steps into the house and pay the cashier. I ordered the enchiladas, and they were perfect. Oozing in cheese, covered in all sorts of goodness, and served with free salsa and free chips? Yes please! The plate was FULL of food, and I was just absolutely stuffed. As one who has lived in Texas my whole life, this is the epitome of TexMex food. Best of all was the price. My enchilada plate was less than five dollars, pre-tip. I wanted to give a 100% tip just for having great food, but I didn't want to set a precedence my first time. If you're visiting San Antonio and on a budget, you should definitely come here! read more

We were originally going to another restaurant a short distance away, but it was closed on Mondays, so we decided to try The Oasis Mexican Cafe that we had passed. I'm so glad we did. The service was great and the food was excellent. I got the huevos rancheros over easy with carne guisada. Everything , including the breakfast potatoes was perfect. The ranchera sauce, which I got on the side was made with fresh tomatoes and very flavorful. The eggs were just right. The carne guisada was delicious. To top it off, they served our breakfast on vintage Homer Laughlin restaurant ware platters! A great place! read more

Simple place, simple review. Pros: Both the style/preparation of the food and the decor feel very authentically tex-mex. Super low prices. Super tiny so you can avoid crowds if you want. Cons: You get what you pay for, the food pretty low quality. I would barely give it a 3. Overall: The very mediocre food quality is helped by the fact that it is at least authentical in style. The decor is also a genuine pleasure. This place also gets an extra little bump for being authentic in a touristy area. read more

The grilled fajitas were exceptional - meat perfectly seasoned and peppers and onions perfectly seasoned and cooked. The beans have a great flavor and even the rice (I'm just not a fan of most Mexican rice because it's bland) had a great flavor. The tortillas are the perfect thickness and are soft and warm. And of course - the green sauce - it's amazing! Our server was very friendly and prompt and the food came out quickly on a Saturday evening during prime dinner time. The true indicator of how good this place is - we were the only gringos in the entire restaurant! We will most definitely be back before long!! Well done!!

Our server was very friendly, attentive, and made sure to check on us throughout the meal. The drinks were definitely generous with the alcohol, which we appreciated. However, my piña colada was not quite what I expected. It had more of a milky consistency rather than the icy, blended texture I usually associate with a piña colada. As for the food, it was decent but nothing particularly memorable. I was especially looking forward to the paella, but unfortunately the rice tasted a bit sour, which was disappointing. Overall, the service and atmosphere were the highlights of the experience, while the food left some room for improvement.

We started…read morewith the Pan Fila Conchota combo that is a combination of the two that is 1/2 gallon of hot chocolate made using a base of Abuelitas with additional cinnamon, and cocoa along with something special. It was delicious! The concha was soft, buttery and flaky, with just the right sweetness. We took home the majority of it and it stayed nice and soft instead of turning hard like so many others. We decided to try several appetizers to go along with our concha to get a wider taste of their food than we would by just ordering a couple entrees. Let me tell you, this was a great idea! We ordered the Tosti-Ceviche Verde, Panela Asado, Mexican Street Corn, and their Spicy Bean Dip. The Ceviche Verde was excellent, the freshness of the fish and shrimp was wonderful with the chipotle mayo and avocado. We chose to have it on the salsa Verde Tostitos and it was all great combination. The Panelo Asado was a completely new dish for us and was extremely good with a savory flavor from the salsa Tlaquepaque that mixed well with the Panela cheese. Their tortillas though not made in house, are made for them and taste like mom made them. The Mexican Street Corn was great and had the perfect bit of char taste from the corn. It was creamy and flavorful, we did think it could use just a tad more lime juice though. The Spicy Bean Dip was very good. You can't go wrong with Oaxaca, Chorizo, and pieces of pork mixed with some mildly spicy beans. Our server was fantastic. She had great recommendations for us, and was quick with checking on our drinks and generally helping us throughout our dinner. The food was prepared quickly, was hot, tasteful and refreshing. We definitely will be going back, and recommend Pan Fila to all of you.

IMMACULATE. My grandma and sister picked up my girlfriend and I from the airport and pulled up here…read moreright after on 4th July weekend. We arrived around 5pm on a Thursday and got in queue which was out the door and wrapping around the front porch. Their host/doorman was kind, he offered the line water on many occasions and made pleasantries with almost all guests as the line moved. It was a hot day so those waters were clutch. By the time we made it to the front of order line maybe 40 minutes had passed. But ladies and gents the wait is worth it. When we plated our trays on the table my family all had heart eyes, and had equally loved our first bites. Their brisket is extremely tender. It's beautifully sliced and made for an amazing welcome back to the South taste for me. I was in heaven. I particularly enjoyed having the fresh pickled red onion for fresh, zesty cuts through the abundance of other saltier elements on the plate. Their menu is slammin! Their sides, and sausages all had crafty ingredients. I enjoyed their spicy link options and their macaroni was delightful. Their BBQ sauce was a nice 4/5 but certainly did the job. As a native Texan who's had their fair share, this was easily some of the best barbecue I've ever had. Top 5 top 5 top 5. I'm of course coming back and looking forward for more banana cream pudding especially. They were small, slightly sweet, and had great balance with the vanilla wafer ratio. That whip cream on top too had me hooked. I couldn't have asked for a better welcome back meal for the bold Texas cuisine, hospitality, and novelty animal and cowboy decor.

I am definitely a fan of this place. Great location and atmosphere. Must go for the Happy hour. Good drinks and yummy tacos. We had excellent service and we sat at the bar. They were super busy but clearly the staff was working together to keep their customers happy and clearing spots for the next people.
