    Carnitas Taco Al Pastor Taco Crispy Chicken Taco
    naomi k.

    Food is so FIRE! definitely recommend the Al pastor taco, they fill the taco so much and it comes with two tortillas so you literally get 2 tacos for the price of one, not only that, it's loaded with GUAC and pico, they also have a SALSA BAR, limes, cucumber, many different salsas, onion jalepenos. They also have daily specials only listed in store, but not online. $2.75 extra stuffed tacos (not street taco size.. BIGGER!) for taco Tuesday. Definitely recommend stopping in! I went to the taco spot down the road and waited in line for 15 minutes without being helped, left there and came here to Oscar's instead and I'm so glad I did! A hidden gem and the salsa bar honestly just makes it worth it

    Solid mexican food. Welcoming service. The quesabirria tacos were some of the best I've ever had. Will 100% return!!

    Welcome to Tempe!

    You can get the world's most expensive taco at the Grand Velas Los Cabos for $25,000 USD. Available at the resort's Frida restaurant, the culinary masterpiece includes such premium ingredients as langoustine, Kobe beef, Almas Beluga caviar, and black truffle brie cheese. While you might not get langoustine or Kobe beef, here at Oscar's Tacos Shop, you can still get some good eats at a more affordable price tag. I ordered the Combo #2 - Crispy Tacos, one potato and one chicken. Both crispy tacos were just what I needed before running my errands. I know what you want to ask, "Joyce, you ate a heavy meal before errands and didn't fall into a food coma?" I did and I was energized! Don't sleep on their beans either because they serve them thicc here. THICC. The rice was decent too. I'd love to shake Oscar's hand because these were some great tacos.

    I ordered lunch online today for pickup. This time I got the chicken asada burrito. It comes with chicken, pico & guacamole. I added sour cream, beans & cilantro. My work is just down the street. I left & when I got there it was only a couple minutes before my order was ready. The bag was heavy for just a burrito. The burrito was huge & fat! It was full of chicken and the other stuff. They wrap it in aluminum foil to keep it warm. I was going to take a picture, but I was so hungry I started eating it. By the time I thought to take a pic I was already 6 bites in. I could only eat half of it. I brought the other half home. Should make for a good lunch this weekend. The place was packed, so ordering online is the way to go. Plus you earn rewards. After you spend so much you get money off. This is definitely my go to place for Mexican food for lunch!

    3.8 % to eat in on top of tip for blah food take your business elsewhere ............. No sign no informing the public and when you ask, they just say yes for sitting inside. Look at the note on top of the receipt. I guess that's their new policy within 24 hours disclaimer lol See the difference in price to the right that's 3.8 %to eat in crappy food to The charge does not say eat in I asked the counter person at 3.8 percent per item plus tip to eat in

    Quesabirras
    Erica B.

    Loved, loved, loved the Quesabirras. The flavors were out of this world. Plenty of beef in the sauce, perfect about of salt, lime and onion. Party of 2 stopped in for Taco Tuesday (single tacos $2.25, I believe). We ordered two fried crispy chicken tacos, one Quesabirras special (comes with a foundation drink) and one beef burrito. The burrito and tacos came out as soon as we sat down. The quesabirras took a few minutes, which I appreciate. Again, the flavors of the beef were perfect, the meat however, was tough, in both the Quesabirria and the burrito. The chicken on the tacos were tough and dry. We both took 2 bites and left the rest. Service was quick and friendly. I'd visit again!!! Service was

    Breakfast burrito for under $10 and it filled me up, but I probably won't be back. Salsa bar was pretty average.

    We stopped in to give it a try. I ordered a chicken quesadilla which ended up being more like a burrito. It was very good, but not at all like what you think of when quesadilla comes to mind. I think it could've had a little more flavor. It was very mild and the green sauce they gave us was too watery and I didn't care for it. I had a side of beans which were good. Hubby had the carne asada burrito which he thoroughly enjoyed. Packed full of meat. The portions are huge and the prices are good. I will definitely go back. We went inside and took our order to go, but now I know the drive thru makes this even more appealing.

    Great experience made by Richard! We came to do the boom burrito challenge and he was very attentive and kind! The restaurant was very clean and excellent customer service. Food was very good! Definitely worth the trip, as we drove a hour to check it out.

Out of all the restaurants I had before leaving Arizona, THIS ended up being one of the places I couldn't stop thinking about after I moved away. Ever since leaving, I've randomly craved these tacos constantly. I've tried other taco spots in Denver hoping something would compare, but honestly nothing really hit the same. So when I came back out to Phoenix recently to visit some friends, this was one of the first places I knew I needed to come back to because I had built it up so much in my head over time. And somehow... it was just as good again. The meat tastes incredibly fresh, flavorful, and well-seasoned, and you can literally watch them prepare everything right in front of you, which makes the whole experience even better. There's something so satisfying about seeing the tacos being made fresh instead of food just appearing from the kitchen. You can tell they care about quality and consistency. The servers were also super friendly and welcoming both times I came here, which honestly makes such a difference. Everyone had great energy, the service was quick, and the whole place just feels inviting and authentic. I honestly think the fact that I remembered this place so vividly for so long says everything. Usually when you revisit a restaurant after hyping it up in your head for years, it ends up disappointing you. But this place tasted exactly how I remembered it, fresh, flavorful, comforting, and absolutely worth the obsession. Safe to say this place is officially a mandatory stop for me anytime I'm back in Phoenix now.

The meats are so good. We also use to love the sushi side. During Covid, we tried the sushi for the first time. We were hesitant as it's a Mexican joint, right? Not a Japanese specialty shop. So to my surprise, I couldn't believe the sushi especially the Las Vegas roll and their Nigiri cuts were pretty dang good. My disappointment seems to be this last year with the sushi just hasn't been the best or fresh tasting. The Las Vegas roll was always nice and warm but with an awesome cold center and fried to perfection and the sauce just right. Lately it's been the opposite. Super over fried were all you can taste is old burnt oil and it dried out and the sauce just bland and not helping at all. The other thing that bothers us is the lack of wasabi they give! If you're not going to give us full flavor, at least give more wasabi to help mask. I will say they give you plenty of soy sauce packets (just barely any wasabi).
