This place needs to fix their staff. Called in at 1030am for a pickup order of chips and salsa and 2 quesadillas. I thought calling in before the lunch rush was a good idea, which it was because when I arrived there was only ONE customer eating. I got there 1045am like the girl had stated would take 15 minutes, which was fine. I paid for my food and then I sat down. The girl went back to filling her cups of sauce and continued to talk to the other customer while he was eating. 20 minutes later the cook comes out and I assume he has the counter girl what I was waiting for be one looked back at forth to me to her. She then noticed I was sitting there and picked up a bag on the counter that I had saw when I came up to pay. Ridiculous. She didn't even apologize. They really need to hire some more attentive people because all the girls there are slacking customer service. The food is great but it's the staff that makes the place. read more

Oscar's Taco Shop - Shrimp taco on the left (my favorite) $2.99/each. Steak tacos on the left $2.45/each. Pretty expensive but good. - Mexican Near Me - Murfreesboro, Tennessee

Best carne asada tacos in the county, maybe the state. The staff is always friendly and the place is clean. Great food, kind service, in a clean environment... what else could one ask for? Bet your aces that if I'm getting tacos It's going to be at Oscar's. Oh, and the cleaners next door... they clean taco stains; their sign says so. read more

The outside is not well manicured and the inside seemed to be getting worse. The table we sat at had paper under it to hold it steady. They don't seen to care about their atmosphere and have an offensive painting on the wall incorrectly showing Mexico as also all of Texas (keep dreaming). With that being said, the food itself is really good and fairly inexpensive. It seems fresh with a great flavor and I have tried several items at this location. Why would one go to Taco Bell with this place around? Recommended if you can get past the poorly kept grounds. read more

Don't bother! The food was very unremarkable plus if you're concerned about cleanliness, this isn't for you.

Call in to order is best. Fantastic chorizo breakfast burrito. You will thank me later! (Add potatoes) read more

I love there food ! Always get the California burrito and the carna asada fries ! Service is good and staff is helpful read more

Oscar's Taco Shop - Mexican Near Me - Murfreesboro, Tennessee

Great tacos! I love their cheese dip and salsa! Fast service. You have to try this place at least once if not more! I have only ordered it to go. read more

The rice!!!! OMG that rice was AMAZING!!!! My guy really wanted tacos while visiting and I know for a fact we will be back whenever we come into Murfreesboro again!! I had the veggie taco salad and it was awesome as well. The fish taco was huge so I didn't finish all my food and I must say I was sad my hotel didn't have a microwave to heat it the next day. I'll be back for sure for sure!!!! read more

This is a nice spot. Consistent, steady, and good food. There really isn't much to review. Will definitely be there again soon with another pickup order. read more

Legit taqueria with authentic flavors just like you'd expect in California. The carne asada tacos had great flavor and good quality meat. Fish taco was a real standout with a delicious batter. My wife said her shrimp taco was amazing with generous portions of shrimp, as was the chicken taco. Pico de gallo was really good too, we'll get 16 oz of it next time. What I've tried already will bring me back again and again, but can't wait to try more from the menu. Prices are very reasonable too. read more

Great Mexican food in a fast food environment .. what is there not to like... I had a burrito and enchilada combo .. lots of food and very good. The other person in my party started out with 3 vegetarian tacos and went back for more.... when I am in the area I will stop in again... read more

Very unique . Not like any other taco place I have been before. Definitely worth a try.

A little on the pricey for the a la carte menu, but it's worth the occasional splurge. Always fast and fresh

Great place for awesome food. Quesadillas are very good, even though this is the normal thing I get I have not had one bad thing on their menu. Around lunch it's typically busy, hours of operation could be a bit longer. Believe they would do more business. That's mainly my only 1 less star is due to the hours. The one in Smyrna closes early some days for whatever reason. Have came by and the doors be locked when they are supposed to be open. For the most part I'll keep on coming back. read more

Oscar's should be ashamed of themselves! I used to love their food. My family would eat there at least twice a week. Then they started getting orders wrong and would only put half the amount of meat they would normally use. Some of the staff became rude as well. It has been months since I got their food, but I thought I'd give it another try tonight. They no longer use chicken breast for their chicken. It is now dark meat. Prices are the same yet they are usung less quality meat without making customers aware. Such a shame! We will not be back. read more

There is no need to read any other review but this one! If you are looking to eat the best Mexican food in the B'oro this is the place hands down!!! Real Mexican food of any kind is not smothered in cheese goo...call it what you want queso??? Only problem I can report is that they give you way to much food. I've eaten at almost every Mexican restraunt in the B'oro and Oscar's has everyone beaten hands down!!! If you know real Mexican food then you will appreciate Oscar's. I'd like someone to message me if they think there's a better place to eat Authentic Mexican food than Oscar's!!! GOOD LUCK!!' read more

When I left California almost 3 years ago, one of the biggest things I have missed was true Mexican food. I lived in Virginia for a year, and the Mexican food there was disgusting and really shouldn't have been considered Mexican. Since living in Tennessee (Lebanon) I have tried a couple Mexican restaurants, and was a little more hopeful but still didn't quite find the true Mexican California style that I have been missing. I have worked in Murfreesboro for almost a year, and caught wind of Oscar's a couple weeks ago.. I tried it immediately. OH MY GOSH!! I am in Heaven!! It is about 98% the same as what I used to eat in California. The Carne Asada fries are great (except they use shredded cheese instead of nacho cheese - next time I will get an order of nacho cheese to put on it), the Carne Asada Burrito is amazing, however no cheese so you must add cheese!! I also have them add tomatoes and onions, and it is wonderful... I will drive all the way from Lebanon just to eat at Oscar's if I needed too.. I really wish they would open one in Lebanon, they would kill the other Mexican restaurants here!! I will definitely keep going back to this restaurant.. Wish they had Horchata though!!! A+ restaurant. Try it, you won't be disappointed.. read more

We had several people recommend oscars for a place to get authentic tacos. When we arrived there was only 1 person working and she was calling out pick up orders at the same time as trying to take orders. The closest thing on their menu to "authentic" Mexican food was pastor tacos. We ordered several and then tried to find a clean place to sit. The tables and chairs had not been wiped down in hours, if at all today. There was a little girl coughing all over the drink station and going behind the bar. Hmmm - not a very sanitary place. The food was terrible. Traditional pastor is pork and pineapple in a red sauce. The taco I got had tiny pieces of meat that was brunt and not very flavorful. There was no pineapple. It came with pico de gallo and guac. Neither of those improved the taste of the taco. Bottom line - we won't be back. The hunt continues to find an authentic Mexican restaurant. read more

My fiancé and I LOVE the taco salad, chicken tacos and asada burritos here. However, EACH TIME we order delivery we are shorted multiple items! Either Oscars does not care to check their delivery orders or the drivers are eating all our food. Either way it's a crapy situation. read more

Decided to try this well talked about place since we are new to town. Let's start with this... I was stationed in Texas and my husband is from Arizona so we have had a few bites of good Mexican food and I have two words for you... 1. Authentic and 2. YUMMMM We will be returning! read more

Best mexican in town. They are from San Diego and are LEGIT with mexican food in the South. Love going there. read more

Fresh ingredients fast friendly service very reasonable prices. Generously stuffed tacos! read more

Oscar's Taco Shop - Carne asada & fish tacos yummy Oscar sauce - Mexican Near Me - Murfreesboro, Tennessee

This place has awesome food and please don't forget the "red" mild hot sauce. It is my favorite one. The green hot sauce is too sour for me and I didn't like it at all. Plus, there is no spicy kick to their green sauce. I felt like it was just a sour sauce haha I definitely recommend the Carne Asada Quesadilla. There can be leftovers from this but when it tastes this good... By the time you know it... It's already all gone lol Another good choice are the fajitas. Very delicious! Again, don't forget that red mild hot sauce!! Also, I had to give them a 4 star because they don't always seem friendly at times. Plus, I called in to place an order once and they had me on hold for a good 10 minutes. I'm pretty sure they forgot I was on the line so I hung up and called again at a later time. I'm assuming they were busy... It's mostly always packed whenever I go there. read more

This is my favorite taco restaurant in Murfreesboro! A few of us girlfriends went to lunch yesterday again at Oscar's Taco. It met my needs for food and location. Had the five rolled tacos with sides of guacamole, lettuce and tomatoes and one word - Delicious. Thanks Oscars! read more

Stopped in here in a road trip through town based on reviews. We were not misguided. The food is amazing. Do not miss the fish tacos or the nachos! read more

See all

Love this place- great food at a great price- I love the tacos pastor, the breakfast ALL DAY, the shrimp and fish tacos and the 1/2 order of chips and cheese dip - cons:parking, seating and bad iced tea...but everything else is all good ! read more

By far, next to Chuys, one of the best Mexican places in town. Everything tastes fresh. The tacos are outstanding and have great flavor. The combo meals with beans and rice are an excellent deal. I only wish they served margaritas! read more

The best Mexican fast-food style that I've found in the area! Was going to go to Taco Bell, but found this gem on Yelp! We drive through Murfreesboro, on our way to St. Louis. So excited for our next trip through town. My bro got the mixed fajitas plate & I got the Granda-Cali burrito w/ choice of Carnitas(pulled pork) as a combo w/rice & beans. Delicious. Hand touches to the decorations of the inside are pretty, yet simple. I talked with one girl who worked there after I was done/thanking her for the visit. She was genuinely nice & doing her best w the small but hungry Monday lunch crowd. The meat was tender & the fajitas were served w/ a lime for squeezing. I wish we had Oscar's closer to home We sampled each others' food & had some left over to take with us. We hope people realize the gem they have and frequent it/we plan to go there next time we're in the area. Yum. read more

Ordered oscars on a whim through a delivery service, never having tried them before so I gave it a shot! I was NOT DISAPPOINTED!! I ordered a shrimp taco and a burrito. The food was AMAZING and delicious!! The shrimp taco was my absolute favorite! The shrimps were a good size and juicy and tasty! And the sauces they sent were so good! I can't say enough amazing things about this place!! read more

Wish I could give it 6 stars. Food is always fantastic and fresh. I get it to go and never have to check my order because I know it's always correct. Great prices too! Highly recommend. read more

Very authentic. This is not a manufactured Taco Bell fake beef experience. Portions are big. Price is fair. Call ahead for quicker service. I wish the drive thru window was open for call ins at least. Breakfast burrito is huge. Quesadillas are the ticket. read more

Oscar's Taco Shop - Mexican Near Me - Murfreesboro, Tennessee

We're originally from Los Angeles and had been extremely disappointed in the Mexican food we'd found in the Boro, but then some fellow Californians suggested that we try Oscar's Tacos, and we're so glad they did! I had the shrimp quesadilla, which was a little greasy, but delicious. My husband's carnitas were fantastic! It was pretty busy when we were there (we'll definitely call ahead for take-out orders in the future), but it was worth the wait. Prices are really reasonable, too. read more

I have the distinction of being their first customer at this location. I had the best bacon and egg burrito I've ever had...and I've had a lot. Customer service was excellent...quick and with a smile. Dining room is...well...NEW...But clean and well arranged with proper decor. I will definitely be back again to try more of the menu. I will also recommend this place to others. read more

Great food, great service, and it doesn't take forever, lol. The inside is nice and cozy as well. Prices are ok, but the food is well worth it, and they give you huge portions of food. Every plate is loaded with food, and that's not an exaggeration. read more

Hell yeah! Fantastic tacos. Some of the best I've had. Check em out. I'll be back for sure.

Finally tried this place after reading all the good reviews.... Not really all that impressed. But I think it was what I ordered, because my friend loved his crunchy beef taco and beef tostada. I ordered a fish taco and a Pastor taco. First off, I hated the tortillas. I think they were corn tortillas instead of flour, so that threw me off. the fish taco was good, had good flavor, but just way too much cabbage on it. That's literally all i felt like i was eating. Cabbage on a soggy corn tortilla. And as for the pastor taco,... I took one bite and threw the rest away. Absolutely gross. Customer service was virtually non existent, but they were really busy as it was lunch rush. the place seemed clean and well kept, and even though I didn't really care for what I ordered, I could tell the food was pretty fresh. I'm going to give them another chance and order something different,.. I really wanted to like this place. read more

This is THE BEST Mexican restaurant in Murfreesboro, hands down! I eat here on a regular basis and frequently order the chicken quesadilla but also love the nachos, any of the tacos and the breakfast burritos are yummy too! Thank you Oscars for delicious food and great service! read more

We were looking for something to feed our taco cravings and landed at Oscar's, and thank goodness! It's a nice spot, clean, and comfortable, and not too far off of 24. I let the cashier choose flour for my shrimp taco and I stayed with corn for my steak...heaven! The staff were great, service was good, and the tacos were fabulous. It didn't take long before we were craving it again. read more

Best carnitas burrito and tacos I've ever tasted!!! I are with their hot sauce (it's not hot) and it was so flavorful and not dry! Def going back!! read more

I Phoned in my to go order which is the best way to eat at Oscars as it can take some time for them to put out your order. I ordered four tacos, carnitas, fish, shrimp an machaca (machaca is like a stewed beef). Everyone of them was fresh and delicious. The fish was perfectly fried and had the proper ratio of slaw. The shrimp taco was over flowing with perfectly cooked shrimp and the carnitas knocked me out. No, literally by the time I got to the carnitas taco I was stuffed. However, I managed to eat the whole thing and I have to say the meat was so tender. I can't give you an honest review of the machaca taco because I couldn't eat it. But my daughter said it was very good and she especially liked the pico. The guacamole is creamy and seasoned well and they make a homemade green hot sauce that is to die for. The food is worth the wait! Great job Oscar!!!' read more
