Super Oscar&#x27;s Mexican Food

Super Oscar's is located near the SWC of N 40th St & E Thomas Rd. It's a small restaurant tucked inside a small strip mall. Since it's behind other businesses, if you're driving down Thomas Rd, you might miss it. The menu is loaded with all the usual Mexican restaurant suspects. Glancing the menu board, it seemed most items were reasonably priced. Everyone likes that! The wait time is also reasonable. I spent about two minutes waiting to place the order and another five waiting for prep. The facility is showing its age. It has outdated furnishings, but they get the job done. There's also a bit of wall art, complete with Christmas garland (in September). If you opt to use the drive through, know that it's awkwardly positioned and you'll need to maneuver your vehicle carefully to access it. The portions are large, so you'll feel full after your meal. The Carnitas Tacos was flavorful and almost twice the size you'll find at fast food restaurants. The Adobada Quesadilla was humongous, though the meat was a bit dry. Overall, Super Oscar's offers no frills Mexican food at a fair price. read more

Terrible drive thru. Hire a new drive thru person. On 01/29/26 at 4:15pm some girl took my order. And I repeated 3xs. 2- number 9s; chicken enchiladas and beef tacos. And charges me for ONLY 1 instead. I waited at the drive thru until she came back. I waited for 2 mins. And I left. Smh. So here I am making this review. Sighs. Now I have to split my dinner for 2. Be a while I revisit that location again. read more

The inside was very clean. Bathrooms were clean as well and smelled nice. Yeah it's an old building but more than half the area are old buildings , it's very well kept! Our food came out five minutes after we ordered. Super fast. They give the sauces in bottles which was very convenient! I'm a sauce person so it allowed me to get all the sauce I wanted without having to ask for more. The fries were hot and extra crispy like asked. Flavor was great. Portion was great. The rolled tacos were crispy and hot as well! The amount of cheese and toppings that were on the food was generous. Affordable and delicious food. So glad to have moved near here. Way better than Federico's and Filiberto's over priced mediocre food. read more

Something happened here because everything has changed. My whole family eats here, well ate here, but not any more. I went and got food, and they were right. They had the best beans in town, now they are mid. Burritos are smaller. I'm so sad because I have been eating here for over 25 years. This feels like a breakup I didn't see coming. read more

Early on a Saturday morning I got into the mood for a good breakfast burrito and Super Oscars did not disappoint. I had Carne Asada and the meat was moist and tender along with being flavorful. The tortilla itself was on the side of excellent, well above average along with the ingredients I had added being fresh and again full of flavor. Both the rice and refried beans were well presented and packed with flavor. I'm happy the busy but attentive lady behind the counter added plenty of napkins between the sauces I added and juices spilling from the burrito I used them all up happily...like the extremely pleased fat kid I am. Great job, Super Oscar's #3 is now a go to spot for me! PS, the constant line of vehicles at the drive through was a hint at the popularity of this establishment. read more

I adore this establishment. Authentic Mexican food, I mean they had La Virgen de Guadalupe, Frida, and Saint Jude on their walls so you know they're the real deal. I could do with a teeny bit more seasoning on their food, but I get that they're trying to appeal to the masses. Their salsa verde (green) is *chefs kiss*. Well kept if outdated interior and kind staff. Fair prices and great specials. I recommend this place to everyone. read more

We have gone to Super Oscars in Phoenix for years, even though we have many other Mexican places closer to us in Scottsdale it's definately worth the drive. The food is amazing, I especially love the Chile Rellano combo, they are the best Chile Rellano's for the reasonable price. Their breakfast burritos, the flying saucer and the pollo asada burrito are favorites of ours also The employees are all very friendly and helpful. I like their new menu board and I attached a photo here on Yelp, Try Super Oscars, you won't be disappointed! read more

The food is solid, flavorful and delicious, the service is standard for a Mexican drive-thru normally, and when the dude is working it's A++. He's so nice and present with each customer, Spanish speaking or not. Their prices and quality combined make this place easily a 5 star, in my book. The beans are clearly made with pork because you can taste the deliciousness, the meats are flavored very nicely, and I go to this establishment 1-2 times a week. Salsas are bomb, red, green, and roasted green. Solid choice any time. read more

Needed a quick snack and took a chance on three rolled tacos with guacamole and cheese. The drive through is hilarious as it is the shortest stretch between ordering and getting food in history. These tacos though were pretty good and very crispy throughout which is important for me. The guacamole was fresh and they loaded the cheese on top pretty well. Red sauce better than green. read more

I don't know why it has taken me so long to post about this place. Their Sonoran style is really good. They are always friendly and their service time decent. I love that they don't use red chili to make their chicken tacos like other fast food Mexican restaurants. Today I ordered a sausage egg and potato burrito and damn it's basic but good. I love that they keep the potato skins on the potato. Reminds me of home cooking. read more

Reasonably Priced, and Good I was in the mood for some Mexican food and found myself at Super Oscars Mexican Food. The entrees at Oscar's are fresh and natural tasting. The ingredients are simple, but have a nice flavor. These entrees are light, flavorful, and reasonably priced. On this visit we had tacos, enchiladas, and everything was good to the very last bite and the Agua Frescas we're so refreshing, light, and flavorful.

Okayyyy, how have I lived under 10 minutes from this spot my entire life but have never been?! My husband and I were craving authentic breakfast burritos (and I'm real picky about my tortillas - they gotta be homemade!) and didn't feel like making the long-ish drive to our usual spot, so we decided to give Super Oscars a try! We were blown away by the freshness of the tortillas, delicious red and green salsas, and delish breakfast burritos. We ordered their potato burrito (eggs, cheese, potatoes) and added beans. Once you get it, you'll never go back! We also ordered some of their rolled tacos and you can tell they are homemade as well. Even the guac was fresh + tasty! I think we found a new fav breakfast burrito spot closer to home! Yipeee!! They have a drive thru as well and are SUPER friendly at SUPER Oscars! We'll be back soon! read more

Always passed by this place but never bothered to try them. Stopped here early Saturday morning and got the super burrito. It was bomb and way cheaper than other places. It's very close to my house. So close that I am going back tonight to try their enchiladas. Hopefully they're as good as the super breakfast burrito was. I definitely recommend and will definitely be back. ***As mentioned earlier, I returned here for dinner. I ordered the enchiladas-one beef and one chicken. They were okay, I've had better.

Deserved. It's the best taco spot in the country in my opinion and makes places like Torchy's feel like they're competing in junior varsity. The vibe is also way above average for a taco joint; lively, clean, and full of people who look like they just took their first bite and immediately started planning their next visit. The taco crew is always friendly too, even while dealing with lines longer than a DMV on a Monday. If you don't know what to order, here's the move: Get one taco or an especial if you're a cheese enthusiast, a medium fry with your topping of choice, and guac with chips. That's the kind of meal that makes you sit in your car afterward thinking about your life choices in a positive way. Enjoy. And maybe stretch beforehand because you're going to want to fight someone over the last hongos fry.

I'd totally tell the owner to close up the register area, expand the kitchen, and get the girls to be servers. No one wants to pay full price ceviche and tacos to a restaurant with no table service. The vibe doesn't match the price so I think you should change the vibe to be high end and step up service to match the prices of food. Or match the vibe to a fast food all the way and change some prices. The food is fast so they can easily do a drive thru or walk up and order window. Should be $3 for veggie, $4 for regular taco $5 for loaded or special tacos with expensive The guac matches the vibes! Sold in plastic cups. And $6.50 $4 on happy hour. That explains the vibes of the restaurant perfectly.

This is a go-to for tacos for me. They're quick, fresh, and well-priced. The grilled meat is…read moresavory, the beans are outrageously good, and their salsas tie it all together with a fresh, spicy touch. I recommend the asada, the hazz, the Lorenza, and anything with the beans. Order at the counter, they'll call your name when your order is ready, and the seating is casual and open. They have a selection of aguas frescos, but I usually like a classic bottled coke for the perfect beverage pairing.

This location is a standalone with a decent patio. Parking is minimal but seemed like there were enough people coming and going. I got a spot right away. Note when leaving you'll have to go right - heading North on 43rd. The staff here were really nice! It was very busy and after ordering, I was standing with others waiting for my food when the other cashier called me up to check on me, thinking I hadn't figured out the process. He was very nice! The place was packed people finished quickly so getting a table wasn't hard. They also had someone cleaning up tables quickly. I got a carne asada caramelito and a carne asada taco. The caramelito continues to be my favorite of the two. Love the roasted salsa on the salsa bar though the hot red one is really good too! I do wish their guac salsa had more tang and salt. I find it bland. These are among my fave tacos but not my absolute so thus the 4 stars.

The asada was very tender and not chewy but it lacked the smoke flavor I'm looking for in asada, but it was well seasoned. The birria was super savory, you can taste the spices - cinnamon, star anise, clove. Perfectly tender and juicy when dipped in the consume all wrapped up in a crispy corn tortilla.

We were a bit worried with parking because we saw that it was in downtown, but they have a designated private lot for customers. Inside was so spacious and had such cool decor. It definitely made the vibe more fun. This is also the first location that I saw with the combo deal compared to the one I usually go to in Gilbert. We ordered carne asada and al pastor tacos and mulitas. So so good. I loveee how you can choose between corn or flour for your tortilla. I like the corn tortilla more. The sauces and toppings were left out for us to take which I appreciate so much. If you want jalapeno or grilled onions, you have to ask them at the pick up station. The horchata was also hugee and sharable. I am definitely coming back when I am in the area. I love how there are plenty of tacos calafia location. They also take apple pay.

We ordered 2 different types of burritos (Cali and chile relleno) and a carnita taco/ birria taco and asada taco. The food was just ok. The meat had no flavor at all. The birria taco is supposed to be crunchy and it was soggy. It just was pretty mediocre tasting and I really wanted to like it. Personally the best part was the crepe that was served at bread and honey

I used to live in Phoenix, and I tried this place for the first time literally the same week I was…read moremoving to Denver. 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.

Really cool vibe inside
