Today was a wow! Day for me, as I walked in to Oscars I was blown away but also happy that it was a full house! Waiting was nothing wrong since I know their food is sooo good any plate you get is worth the waiting, like I said didn't expect so many people but I come to know this place is open late on weekdays and weekends so get up and come on over! I come everyday after work feels like my evening office and dinner at same time. During the week they do get a rush and not much help but the server can handle it, just a short wait but I can guarantee you will be full-field. The environment here is so comfy and the positive people , I love it! read more

Oscar’s Mexican Restaurant - Mole Plate, shredded chicken with mole sauce rice and beans with 3 tortillas of your choosing, flour or corn - Mexican Near Me - Abilene, Texas

We went to Oscar's on Christmas this morning and the service was so friendly and the breakfast was great!

This is a 3.8 star review rounded down to 3.0. Oscar's has been on the north side of town for years, and have opened a new location on the south side. The food is always good, and they have great lunch specials. We stop here quite often when we're on the south side of town. Mike and I recently stopped in for breakfast tacos. Chorizo and egg is my taco of choice and it was delicious! The hot sauce is really good too. The breakfast tacos are also larger than La Popular, so that's a plus. So why the rounding down? They are now charging for chips and salsa. That's a big NO NO in the land of Mexican food. But with inflation the way it is, I do understand the reasoning. But it does mean we'll be going to restaurants where chips and salsa are free. Hopefully this will change, and we'll be back! read more

Oscar’s Mexican Restaurant - Chorizo and egg breakfast burrito, no cheese. $3.50 Let's eat! - Mexican Near Me - Abilene, Texas

Fast and friendly service. Everything we've had there is good. Friendly staff and the only place I've tried that served the chocolate lava cake that wasn't overcooked and was actually melted in the center. Not perfect but still the best. There is a craft in making these. read more

Finally gave Oscar's a try and it's a solid 2.5 in my honest opinion due to the food itself. The waitress was very sweet and the service was in good timing, but I found the food to be below average and unappetizing. The queso was basically the same as concession stand nacho cheese and combined with the salsa & chips it resembled the "Nacho Lunchables" I used to have at lunch as a kid. The cheese enchiladas are topped with the queso and the cheese inside was still shredded not fully melted. The tacos were alright. Beans had an off taste to them. I just honestly say this is not a place I'd recommend for food. Don't let the seemingly full parking lot of cars deceive you and convince you to finally give it a try. I hate leaving a negative review, but the food was edible just not good. read more

Their tamales were as bad or worse than frozen TV dinner tamales from the 1970's. Outer was bland, inner dried out. Covered in a cheese sauce that tasted like it was straight from a can. These were about as bad as it gets. Anywhere else in Abilene would a better choice. read more

A bit hidden from general view but it's a terrific place for Mexican food! Had an awesome lunch and the place filled up by the time we had finished. Friendly and helpful staff. Just a great time! read more

A buddy of mine and I ate here for lunch. We were greeted promptly and seated right away. For a little hole in the wall Mexican restaurant this place was decently clean. The customer service was fine. We got our drinks fast and our food came fairly quickly as well. Our waitress was great at making sure we had what we needed as well as providing refills. I always get really nervous when I see things like hamburgers and chicken fingers on a menu for a Mexican food restaurant. The menu for this establishment is quite eclectic and extensive. It is a rather large menu with many items to choose from, and in my opinion some of those items have no business being on a Mexican food restaurant menu. But I digress. I had the chicken enchiladas with green sauce and my buddy had the street tacos with beef. The enchiladas were generously filled with chicken which was nice to see since a lot of establishments tend to go "skimpy" on the meat inside of enchiladas. My buddy said the street tacos were good, but not fantastic. All in all, I would return to this establishment. The service was decent, the food was decent, and the prices are decent. read more

First of all need to work on service kinda like rude seemed to be in a hurry and disinterested in us until the very end never once came back to offer refill on tea, seemed like she didn't think we had enough $$ to eat there, what a joke! Have had better food from Taco Bueno! Almost no cheese in cheese enchiladas, brought appetizer 2 min before our dinner all was bland fajita's we're just pieces of meat not fajita strips like you would normally get! Was wanting to try this place we spend less at Abuelos and get chips and salsa, they don't even give you cheese with your fajita set up and no salsa unless you pay for that too, should at least come with your dinner! Barely a few tiny strings of cheese on taco that barely had any meat in it ! 58 bucks to get out of there ! Won't make that mistake again! Had server been nice from beginning and at least checked on us might have given 2 stars but definitely will not be back! read more

We were so disappointed with these meals. We had order beef and chicken Fajitas. To started with the order was wrong. Very small portions rice and beans were fair favor . Beef fajitas had no flavor. No cheese for the fajita at all. Added Queso for $4. No favor no pepper very small just nasty. I am so disappointed had heard that they were really good from friends but this meal was nothing but gross. Won't Order again from them. Paid $25 a piece for the fajita. The bag of chips queso was so small omg. I know we need to be reasonable but 2 tortillas for our fajitas. read more

I'm surprised by some of the low reviews. I've been here numerous occasions and the food is always excellent. The workers are always friendly and I have yet to receive an incorrect order. Not to mention that the food seems to be real authentic Mexican food. The only complaint is the chips are sometimes not as fresh as I would like. Other than that, everything is great. read more

Good food outside of San Antonio. Great service. Love the art! Great salsa, and perfect tortilla chips.

As a Google guide, the restaurant had a clean atmosphere but food needed improvement. Chips and salsa were cold and stale. They didn't even heat up the taco shells before placing unseasoned beef inside with some lettuce and a slice of roma tomato. The enchiladas they provided were cheese, covered with what looked like a cheese slice heated up to melt it. They charge $3 for a fountain drink, and no other adult beverages are on the menu, nor do they have anything on draft. After $17+ for the meal i still have my waitress a $5 tip. I don't need more $23 bad experiences. read more

We are there Thursday evening. It was not crowded. Ordered beef fajitas for two. Hot sauce and chips were great. The waiter was great. Kept the tea glasses filled along with the chips and salsa. The fajitas came out sizzling and there was a lot on the platter. Plenty for two people. Taste was amazing. Very enjoyable experience. read more

Stop in. It's a really solid spot for some Mexican food in the Abilene area. I have really enjoyed my visits. The salsa has a slightly different flavor and spice level each time which makes me guess they make it daily and it is great. The Fajitas have a great flavor and while they won't be featured on some fancy menu in Hd, they outperform any of the big Mexican chains in the area. The Super street tacos are absolutely amazing. The meat and the grilled veggies are so good. There are a few places in the area that have stood out and this is one of read more

Super busy on Sunday after church. Breakfast burritos weren't the best but ok. Good hot sauce.

Ever since Mary's Mexican closed down due to Covid, I have been trying out other small Mexican restaurants around Abilene to find one that could replace Mary's. If you are follower of my restaurant reviews or a subscriber to my YouTube channel (Jungle Explorer), you know that one of my complaints about Abilene is the lack of good true authentic Mexican cuisine, or any other foreign cuisines for that matter. The Abilene culture is just not one that is very accepting to new things or spicy food in general, so it is hard for an authentic cuisine restaurant to stay in business here. This was my first visit to Oscar's and it was a pleasant visit. I was greeted by the friendly staff at the door and seated right away. I open the menu and found your standard Texmex dishes that are common to all Texmex restaurants. You know, Tacos, enchiladas, burritos, etc. I looked to see if they had a Molcajete dish, but they did not. I then looked for Caldo de Res, and that was also not on the menu. You know my rule, if you they don't serve Caldo de Res, they are not authentic Mexican. So, Oscar's is a Texmex restaurant, and that is how I am reviewing them, not for what they are not, but for what they are. As a Texmex restaurant, I would have to say that Oscar's is as good as any other in Abilene, better then some. Texmex is simple food and is hard to mess up, but there are some that find a way. Oscar's is not one of them. I had the Fajita combo plate and it was delicious. My wife had the Green Chili enchiladas and they were equally as good. My son had the tamale plate and loved it. The one thing that I really liked about Oscar's was how they brought the chips and salsa out. Most Texmex restaurants bring out a big basket of chips and a little bowl of salsa, which is gone after a few chips. At Oscar's they bring out a generous bottle of salsa and two bowls with the basket of chips. Oscar's is the first Texmex restaurant that I did not run out of salsa before the chips were gone. In fact, there was enough salsa to finish off an additional basket of chips. Oscar's gets a gold star for this feature only. The staff was very attentive and came by frequently to make sure we were happy with our food. They staff here seems to really care about their customers and want them to be happy. If I get a hankering for Texmex, I will certainly be back to Oscar's again. read more

Service was horrible. Our waitress was all over the place. No utensils when we sat down or even after they brought out our food. Didn't know about the menu, no refills and just seemed inexperienced. Food was ok, nothing special to go back for. I'll have to stick to our usual Mexican spot on base or the food truck on grape. read more

I give their Carne Guizada plate 5 stars. My first time to eat there. Friendly service also. Liked the atmosphere. Definitely going back and telling my family and friends. read more

Gross and expensive. It tasted like queso is more like nacho cheese from the can. There are much better options including just right up the street. read more

I have been here several times and absolutely love their food! Their freshly made hot sauce is absolutely the best. Always friendly always a tentative and extremely clean. read more

First Oscar experience. The salsa is spicy and flavorful, so that's a big plus. The crushed ice and fountain drinks Yum! My Diet Dr Pepper never tasted better. My husband ordered carne guisada, it was tender and flavorful. He felt the only thing lacking was homemade tortillas. That's hard to find these days. The wait staff was Friendly and attentive, thanks Brianna. You get a five star for caring. I'm sure we'll be back! read more

My favorite Mexican restaurant in Abilene! Always friendly, great service, and awesome food.

I love Mexican food and was excited to try this establishment. Area is nice and the servers are nice as well. The salsa is very spicy, which is good. I was very disappointed because there was absolutely no flavor in the food whatsoever. Definitely will not be going back. read more

Oscar's es un restaurante tradicional mexicano en Abilene, Texas. La espera fue muy corta. El ambiente era similar a una ciudad mexicana con acentos rústicos. El ambiente también fue muy relajado. El restaurante era muy grande pero muy limpio. El servicio fue muy amigable y rápido. Tomé mí bebida en dos minutos. La comida era muy buena. Tuve el plato de Amigos. Viene con un taco de carne, una tostada de carne, y una enchilada de carne con arroz y frijoles. El precio del plato era diez dólares. La enchilada era mí favorita porque estaba cubierta con una salsa excelente y la carne tenía un gran sabor. El mejor consejo que tengo es conseguir patatas fritas y salsa porque están recién hechas. La salsa es muy fresca y no picante. ¡Definitivamente regresaré! read more

Tried the Oscars on Buffalo Gap Road. Food fair but will not return due to waitress not warring mask. I don't want to get sick. I'm sure it does not bother others but it is important to some of us. read more

what shame of restaurant !!! i asked for a menudo, which when i got to the table gave me a strange smell, a bit bad smelling , i tried it and it was the most horrible and unpleasant thing i've ever tasted,the worst thing was when i sent the menudo back to the kitchen, and i asked for some thing else instead, i heard how the waiter told them that the menudo was bad and that his client had not liked it, please change it for what i order, i heard a woman say that '' I WAS CRAZY '' that it is good for her that she was not going to change it and if she did , i have to py for it or double because according to her it was good . i just wonder .... that what that despotic and rude woman likes has to like me ??? i heard how the waiter asked that change it because the customer is always right i heard that he told them ''it is worth more to lose 10 dls than a costumer'' what a waste of a waiter and what a garbage place, they never change my food , the waiter try but this ESTUPID PEOPLE .. well i NEVER COME BACK !!!! read more
