What a great addition to our growing town! I've now been to Oscar's three times, and I am confident with my 5 star rating. I've had the beef taco, fish taco, beef burrito, and beef taco salad. My family has eaten the carne asada fries, steak street tacos, and house fries. All were excellent! The hot salsa is so delicious! The space is clean, well-lit, and comfortable. Everybody working there has been kind, helpful, and so quick! Very fresh, delicious, quick, and reasonably priced. I'll go again and again!

Amazing food and lovely people. This place is so good and their menu has a wide variety of food to try. Definitely worth the visit.

PARENTS with YOUNG children/babies. Don’t expect to be able to dine in easily. They do not have any high chairs!Bad experience from the get go. Walked in, cashier was rushing us to order (no one was behind us). My husband had never been to an Oscar’s so he wanted to look at the menu however we were rushed by the cashier. Ordered and planned to dine in only to find out they don’t have any high chairs! I looked and never saw any, so I thought surely I’m over looking them. So I asked a cashier, nope- they didn’t have them. So we had to have our food packaged to go. Ended up tossing all the food because fajitas aren’t really a car friendly food and we had errands to run and couldn’t just go back home. Loved the Oscars in Murfreesboro, and was really excited for this location. However, as a mom with a young child and a baby on the way- we won’t be back until they have high chairs.Oh and we did at least look at the food, and we didn’t even get everything we ordered. Which I guess didn’t matter since took a loss by having to toss it anyways. But Very disappointing all the way around.

When this place first opened, we loved it. Wanted to go back because I noticed they had horchata on their menu and I have never had it before. Got there tonight and asked for it to be told they didn’t have it and just had the other drinks listed. I’m not sure if it’s just because this place was new in town or what. Also, my fish burrito was pretty mid compared to the first time I had it. The fish in it looks like something pre-made that you air fry or cook in the oven. I also got it “wet style” and it didn’t have any of the red salsa on top of the queso. Wasn’t too impressed with tonight but I’ll give it a little time before going back.

I would eat here everyday if my husband wouldn’t shame me for it. All their food is incredible. Service is insanely fast. Carne Asada/Steak Nachos are to die for- there’s mountains of meat and toppings; Every chip has meat and toppings. There’s enough food here to share. I’d love to thank the folks who brought this restaurant to Athens. My favorite restaurant in town now. Love this place!! Great value for the money too.

I'm from San Diego and the prices and portions are just like home. I'm so happy they arrived in Alabama. Can you get enchiladas on the menu?

This place is absolutely AWESOME!! The quality of food is amazing and the prices??? Reasonable as HELL!! Especially for the amount of food you get and the size of the burritos! Everyone was super nice and it was just overall a really good experience!! I definitely think my husband and I have found our burrito spot ?

Elizabeth was the server at the register she was so upbeat and just happy to help. The restaurant itself is small but very clean and cute on the inside. The food however is absolutely the best part my husband and I have found a new favorite spot. The meat is tender and juicy and the tortillas seem to be made in house or at least very good quality.

As with any Oscar's location. Generous portions of food, great tasting food, and a clean store. This is not just another "Mexican" restaurant it's west coast style food with unique flavor.

Good food and value. Pepsi drinks and no tea was the only bad thing. Get the Coke guy over there quickly! Seriously.

Update: Tried again asked for 4 corn tacos, Oscar's gave me 2 flour tacos and 1 store bought shell and completely forgot the last taco lol.The food that they got correct was good. $2 extra charge for using debit I didn't see until afterward. Their customer service will improve I'm sure as they work out the kinks.

Being from San Diego, CA I've struggled to find "California Mexican food". It's here. This place is amazing! Fast and friendly service. Decorated really nice, music playing on low, and very open.

This place opened very recently and I couldn’t wait to try it. It is a small establishment that has a handful of tables and a bar to order at. They have a variety of tacos, burritos, bowls, and other grab and go Mexican fair. I got a California Burrito, which was an odd combination of fries, carne asada, guacamole, and cheese. It was delicious! Other people in my party got ground beef tacos and a pastor burrito. No one had any complaints. On the service side of things, they were very efficient and handled the large crowd well. I’ll definitely be back.
