Mexican Cuisine
If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.
Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.
Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.

Great breakfast burrito. Very clean place. The staff is friendly. I came on Saturday morning but the cashier told me about the weekday specials. I will definitely be back.

Small store, good food! Street taco fare, so make sure to order a couple. The fish tacos are exceptionally good here.
(5)Simon K.
The best quality about this place is that it's consistent. Since I work in downtown, I end up eating here on a weekly basis. Each time my meals are consistently hot, fast, and tasty. Really, there's no need to take the time to tell you about their menu because it's everything you would expect from Mexican food; rice, beans, and various entrees. One thing different is that their quesadillas have all the ingredients already inside, so there's no guac, sour cream, or pico that comes on the side. Prices are inexpensive, again what you would expect from Mexican food, and the service is fast. Just a comment of remorse, don't get the combo platters unless you plan on sharing. Idk if it's their way of imposing Mexican culture on the U.S., but eating that much at lunch only brings about a "siesta" that my job isn't cool with. Well operated straightforward Mexican food.
(4)Michael C.
Good enough for two days in a row. If you find yourself downtown, get out and find Oscars. Don't let the name fool you, though, there is a nearly full Mexican menu waiting inside for you (not just tacos). So grab a Mexican Coke from the cooler (real sugar, not high fructose corn syrup), and some really tasty food.
(5)Holli S.
When I took my first bite of my taco at Oscar's, I was immediately enamored. The Verde cream salsa was just out of this world. I ordered the combination platter, so I also was fortunate enough to taste Oscar's bean tostada also...... Again, scrumptious! We had plans to visit Oscar's again before leaving Nashville but anyone who has been there knows that there is never enough time in a day; however, Oscar's will be my first stop (restaurant-wise) when I return.
(5)A O.
The Nashville locals know - EAT HERE! As a downtown resident this is one of my go to spots for breakfast and fantastic cheap eats. Huge fan of the breakfast burritos which you can get ALL day. I usually opt for the junior breakfast burrito which doesn't include a meat - only eggs, cheese and potatoes but I can finish it and not feel over stuffed. Plus, you gotta know a place with their own home made salsa is legit. When Pucketts Grocery down the street has a 2 hour wait wander down the street and get right in and save some dollars. Bonus - soccer on the TV all day.
(5)Arianna S.
The ONLY place I'll for mexican food in Nashville. As someone who grew up in southern california, I am very picky about my mexican and this place is just about perfect. The breakfast burritos are very delicious and reasonably priced - make sure to add potatoes. Their tacos and enchiladas are great too. I only wish the location was larger and had more places to sit, but to-go orders are always quick and easy. Their red and green salsas are also very delicious.
(5)Jason M.
Very good authentic Mexican food in a fast casual setting. Very good prices, great location , nice people too.
(5)Barnabas P.
5 stars for the food. We had tacos and a couple different kinds of burritos as well as a torta, and all were excellent. 3 stars for limited seating and broken/limited drink selection. Over all a good experience and a great lunch.
(4)Amanda M.
Don't go if you want salsa or a vegetarian meal. I had two big issues with my lunch today. I ordered a vegetarian burrito & chips and salsa for take out. The total came to around 8 bucks. When my order was ready the guy asked me if I wanted salsa. Since I had ordered a chips and salsa and no salsa is sitting out in a "serve your self" style bar I think he's asking if I want extra salsa because I'm thinking surely I don't have to them I want salsa when I already ordered salsa. I tell him yes because I want extra for my burrtio and he gives me two little salsas in something a tad bigger than a plastic coke cap. As it turns out that was all of my salsa & I didn't discover it until I was back at work. Not only was it not even enough salsa to go with half my order of chips the cup was so tiny a chip wouldn't even fit into it to get any salsa so I had to dripple the salsa over each chip and try not to spill the precious commodity. Fail! Then when I start to eat my vegetarian burrito I bit down on a piece of chicken. That's it - No more Oscars. There are a lot of taco joints downtown and this one won't be getting my business again.
(1)Meredith H.
First time coming in here, and there was actually a really good variety of food! I ended up getting a fish sandwich, and the portion was huge! I didn't get any sides, and I thought it'd come with like fries or whatever, but it didn't and that's OK because I was full! Anyways, it was fast and very tasty!
(3)LaTamera W.
Had the chicken quesadilla. It was large, greasy, soggy, and messy. I loved that it was huge. Totally bigger than I anticipated. However it was not "toasty". It tasted as if it had been grilled earlier and microwaved. And come to think of it, I think there was any cheese. It was filled with guacamole, tomatoes, sour cream, chicken, and loads of grease. This is a new place down town and I will give it another try because it's my first meal and you cant fairly judge a place on one meal. Hopefully the next meal will be better. Just note, I will not be ordering any quesadilla's from this place.
(2)Dae R.
I meant to write an update ages ago, but totally forgot. I've been back to Oscar's on several occasions and the food was good. the staff is nice, and the portions sizes are huge considering the low prices. I usually had food left over that I would save.
(4)Austin G.
Oscar's Taco Shop is good for a quick lunch in a cool part of downtown Nashville. I got the shrimp burrito and enjoyed it. It wasn't as filling as most burritos, but it was good.
(3)Big T.
Good place for a simple, quick taco or other Mexican food. The service a little abrupt, but the food and value make up for it.
(4)Amanda E.
Kinda disappointed in this place. Maybe b/c I'm from Texas so my expectations of Mexican food is high.
(3)Momma M.
The worst taco place I have ever eaten at. I was visiting Nashville and stopped there for dinner. I got the chicken enchiladas. 1.) they use yellow cheese - not Mexican cheese. 2.) the chicken was COLD and rubbery. Not to mention the sauce had a horrible after taste. If you are visiting Nashville walk right past this joint.
(1)Kristy E.
We had breakfast burritos here, which were delicious! Great stop! Everyone enjoyed their meal, prices very reasonable too.
(4)Michelle P.
Love love love Oscar's! Just wish they stayed open later. I usually get the shredded beef or chicken tacos with rice and queso and it never disappoints. The only downside besides their closing time is that it can get pretty busy on the weekends, which sucks since there is very limited seating. Other than that, the food is so so good!
(4)Kristin M.
NEVER AGAIN!!! Decided to try a fish taco. They were about to close in about 20 minutes so they were cleaning up. There was a guy with gloves on who was mopping the floor and pouring chemicals into the bucket;wiping counters with gloves, no towels, just gloves. He then turns around and grabs a tortilla and places it on the grill..with those same gloves on. He then proceeds to continue cleaning. Then comes out and proceeds to make the fish taco with those same gloves on!!!!!! I immediately advised him that I did not want the taco. He acted as if he did not understand me. I advised him again that I did not want the taco and he grabs it, says profanities and then slam dunks the taco into the trash can. Another guy came out to make the taco but by that time it was too late. Of course I didn't want it! I asked the girl to refund me my money, which she did. Eww...The fact that he thought it was okay to use those same gloves to clean and cook says alot to me about this business..Never again.
(1)Adam B.
Oscar's is the kind of restaurant I like for lunch, fast and reasonably priced. It was hopping when I stopped in but they worked through the line fast. I waited about ten minutes for my food and there was a line the entire time I was there. I had the fish tacos and a carnitas burrito. The tacos were really good, loaded with pico and whatever "Oscar sauce" is. The carnitas burrito, if judged on it's own, was tasty but the pork was really dry. However, with a touch of house hot sauce on each bite, it worked out just fine. If you like fast Mexican food, made by friendly staff, when you are downtown, try Oscar's.
(4)G W.
My husband and I both got horribly, horribly sick after eating here. Never, ever again. It wasn't even good, either. And heads up, the guacamole is the fake kind.
(1)David B.
Tasty food and very good but service could be better. We've been many times during lunch and it seems like the cooks or owner seem to mess up the portions and order. We would get charged for something but not get it. Or portions one day would be good and somedays would be really small. They are inconsistent. Some days the .guy would be cool and happy and some days ignorant.
(2)Susan B.
After recently moving downtown each week I go to a different place to eat. Yelp the reviews for Oscars and was really excited to try my first fish taco. well I didn't have anything to compare it too I'm not a fan of fish tacos. But I did have a burrito and some guacamole. the guacamole was good but I love it . The burrito is decent. Although I doubt I would go there again. 3 stars
(3)Tyler G.
Great food at a great price! The menu is fairly wide and full of flavor. I would definitely come back.
(5)Consumer I.
Cheap food, but you get what you pay for... I wouldn't choose it over Taco Bell, that's for certain. I felt like my plate was served up to look like a dog's breakfast.
(2)Mike D.
No outdoor seating today so i got it to go. Same great taco's as usual but yelp says they are open till 5pm but someone inside said they close at 3pm not 5pm
(5)Jami C.
You must get the fish burrito! I love that there are few ingredients so the ingredients they do use can really speak for themselves. Delicious and very reasonably priced.
(5)Jessi B.
Delicious! The husband and I stopped by for a quick bite to eat and were pleasantly surprised. Don't pass this place up!
(5)Manuel D.
Excellent Mexican food!!!...I am always looking forward to eat at Oscars... Live those authentic salsas... !!
(4)Charity L.
Wide variety of Mexican on the menu. Quick to get our food even though line was lengthy. Surprisingly big proportions. Well priced with a friendly staff. I'd go back.
(4)Nina P.
This place is nothing to write home about. As a matter of fact I am not impressed at all. I went there for lunch today and ordered a chicken taco and chicken enchilada. I thought the chicken enchilada would have had cheese on it but it didn't. I would rather to go Las Palmas or Q'doba. The chicken enchilada is dry. I will probably never visit again.
(2)Aaron E.
Simple fresh ingredients. I had the fish taco and shrimp taco, both were amazing! I've been back several times for lunch and keep ordering the same thing!
(5)A G.
My husband and I will pretty much seek out any kind of Mexican/taco place in every city we visit. We're kind of obsessed. This place was DELICIOUS. A super hole-in-the-wall kind of feel, so we felt pretty confident we'd like it. Not a ton of seating - we sat at the tables on the sidewalk outside. We got there just as the lunch rush came through, so go early if you don't plan to take out. The food is really fresh. The salsa is so good. The serving is large, so go hungry. I will definitely be going back whenever I get back to Nashville.
(4)Caroline P.
The fish tacos are out of this world! It's a perfect blend of tangy and salty! Definitely getting that from now on. Recommend it for all fish taco lovers!
(5)Bonnie T.
I ordered 2 crunchy tacos with ground beef. I ordered and paid for sour cream but they didn't come with sour cream. Sad face. They WERE STILL AMAZING! The light, crunchy shells were what did it. Yum.
(5)Amanda J.
I've only gone for the breakfast burritos so that's all I can really comment on, but they are sooo good. If you get there before ten the breakfast burritos are under 3 bucks! You can't beat that. It's not all of them though I think only the bacon, ham, or sausage but still it's such a good price. Now if I had a choice id probably go 4 1/2 stars because I love rice in my burrito but every time I've gone they have told me that the rice isn't ready yet.. Well from their hours posted they have been opened for at least two hours. But the option to get potatoes for 50 cents added and the already cheap price compensates for this!
(5)Cameron C.
This is my first time visiting Oscar's Taco Shop. The guy at the counter was really friendly and answered all my questions. I ordered the veggie tacos and they were delicious and super fast. I think they make their own hot sauce and it's awesome. I would definitely come here again!
(4)Joshua S.
Oscar's is the one place I go to at least once a week for lunch. Hands down best burritos I've ever had. It's a small place, and the layout is a little weird. I've tried every burrito that is on the menu and I loved everyone.
(5)Jim C.
Really good fresh tacos. We had the chicken tacos and added verde salsa and they were excellent. Worth the 1mile walk in the rain.
(5)A P.
So this place is an anomaly of sorts. Its VERY rare that I trust "strip mall" mexican, but this joint is the real deal. All the owners are from California and are mexican, so that puts them ahead of many out the gate. Their breakfast burritos are unreal, and if you sign up to receive emails on their list, many days they are $2.98. Cant beat it for a 1lb stuffed burrito. Any other times I think they are around 4 dollars. The Carne Asada tacos for lunch are my "go to" every time, and I cant change. err. Delicious steak and simple pico with cilantro tops them, comes with a couple limes. :) The best.
(5)I B.
This place is freaking awesome! It tastes just like the stuff I got in San Diego. Then to make it even better the two salsas they provided tasted excellent. I will be going here again.
(5)Ginger J.
Great street tacos! The girl taking our order was super friendly, which we loved. The food was great and hit the spot! Worth a stop!
(5)Michael H.
Oscars is awesome. I have worked downtown for over two years and just found this place after meeting a friend for lunch. The food was incredible and the service was great. The prices are very reasonable for downtown Nashville. There are a couple tables outside to eat at and there is a tv inside if you want to watch some news at lunch. I will definitely be adding this place to my lunch line up.

The Fish Taco's were the Especial today ! Very Good, Reasonable priced and Quick Friendly Service.
(5)Beth L.
Myself and two coworkers ate here for lunch one day. The food didn't taste bad, but I thought it was pretty greasy (I had a veggie quesadilla). We all ordered something different, though. Within about 15 minutes of eating, all three of us were in a panic. Let me just say that we all now refer to it as "Oscar's Diarrhea Shop". None of us will ever eat there again!! Unless, of course, we need a colon cleansing. I think it's just a little too rich/greasy - I prefer Chili Burrito.

Small store, good food! Street taco fare, so make sure to order a couple. The fish tacos are exceptionally good here.
(5)Greg B.
The food here WAS great, they had a change at who man's the cooking station... it might very well be the owner, because it seems like he is putting the least amount of ingredients possible to save a buck... The portions is what used to set the place apart from the rest of the downtown pack. They skimp on everything. I bought a breakfast burrito and experienced more tortilla than egg/ham/cheese. Bring back the old cook, or quit skimping on the food.
(2)Mavis J.
I liked the chicken fajitas. Friends had chicken tacos are were great! Great portions and inexpensive. Tortillas were awesome! Outdoor dining! Quick service! Will go back!
(4)Matt L.
Not worth it, overall. A very dull menu. Nothing creative. Nothing really even worth mentioning I had their tacos, which weren't really that great. The location is on Church St., which offers no parking, and little seating. The food is only a couple steps above taco bell, with mostly the same menu. There are literally 20 places within walking distance that are much better than Oscar's. There's nothing terrible about the place, but it's just not very good either.
(2)Brandy W.
With a disappointing showing of vegetarian food in the main walking areas of downtown Nash, I decided to hit up Yelp (let's be honest... I do this even if there are a ton of options in front of my noggin) for some Mexicannnnn. Love me some Mexican and I'm always looking for a joint that serves it up good and cheap. This place was given the thumbs up from my fellow Yelpers and I'm jumped on it. Lemme hear ya sing it: "Jump, Jump, Jump on it..." Anyway. Over the hills and through the woods... okay, just over the hills and there I was. Mexican mecca. I consulted about the beans and lard usage: none. Just oil. And the rice? Chicken stock. Be fore-warned, fellow vegetarians. The veggie burrito isn't so... veggie friendly. I ordered two bean burritos which were on $1.99 special and was stuffed to the gills with leftovers. I'm not a prissy chick and can totally eat a full Chipotle burrito without batting an eye, so don't think I'm being modest here. The place was packed and the two outdoor tables were taken. I parked my rear on a nearby bench and only half wanted to bolt my belongings to my body in fear that I might get robbed by the characters around me. But the food? DEEEEELISH. I would most definitely be back with bells on.
(5)Chris C.
Tasty food and reasonable prices, friendly service too. Breakfast burrito and fish tacos are the bomb.
(4)James R.
Dear Oscar, I was quite excited to drop by to grab a Taco or other Mexican vittle but alas you closed before your hours say you do. I got there at 2:50 on Saturday (your front sign says close at 3 on Saturdays) to find that the chairs had been placed on the tables and one of workers said you were closed. I was disappointed.
(1)Richard C.
Moved here from Houston over a year ago and have been searching for decent tex-mex. A friend of mine who also moved here from Texas told me to check out Oscar's. The food here is VERY good, authentic, and appropriately priced. I would give 5 stars if the place had more seating and the lady running the register wasn't so sour.
(4)Emily A.
Ummmm, this place kicks butt! Coming from a psycho healthy eater like me that's saying something because it's not exactly healthy. There is so much flavor hidden somewhere in between seemingly basic ingredients. Delicious! Try the quesadillas. They come in a bed of grease but worth it once in a while? I fully hope to update my review to 5 stars once I get my hands on one of their breakfast burritos. They are massive and dirt cheap ($4)!
(4)Ryan B.
What a great find! This visit was for breakfast. The chorizo, potato and egg burrito was top notch. They also give you a choice or red or green salsa to have with it. Very simple, very authentic, very affordable, very very delicious! I'll be back today for lunch and maybe even breakfast tomorrow.
(5)Ruiqiu K.
2013/053 Finished a job earlier than expected downtown and my stomach cried for lunch, even though it was only 10:30. I remembered this from Yelp and hoped that they would be open. To my surprise, they had been open for several hours, since they also serve breakfast. As soon as I got in, the guy behind the counter was already preparing to-go orders. Lots of them. And yet, no sooner than I sat down after I placed my order, it was ready. I had to chuckle when full-sized plastic squeeze bottles of both the red and green sauces were on my tray -- I was immediately transported to the Mission District back home. The hot sauce was mild enough for me, and flavorful. I was in a gringa mood and requested the hard shell tacos, rather than their standard soft. I wasn't too enamored with the chicken on my tacos; nothing wrong with them -- in fact, I could see each individual chunk rather than the shredded versions I've always associated with cafeteria school lunches. I've been gradually not liking chicken over the years, and I think this was one of those days. The salsas helped with the flavor and I ended up eating everything on my plate. The rice was different, to me. Not the standard "Mexican rice". This had corn kernels mixed in. And there was no heavy tomato paste component. Small place. About 4 tables of 4 seats each, and 4 stools near the window. Definitely a popular place with the local workers in the area. And when I was in, there were quite a few Latino customers, which again is a good indicator of authenticity. A restaurant I'd come back to, especially for its diverse menu, affordable dishes, and friendy and efficient staff.
(5)Sandra P.
As a Mexican-American from California in town for business I was pleasantly surprised by this place! Nice tasty chorizo breakfast burrito that reminded me of the best of LA taco stands. Tasty and tangy salsa was an added bonus. The price was very reasonable and the staff was somewhat friendly. I only wish they had Mexican coffee or Mexican Coke in a bottle! but they did have Jarritos sodas in the glass bottle. Recommended.
(4)Jamie D.
Breakfast burrito update: someone better tighten my collar and hookup my chain..cause this dude's gonna be a regular! Ordered using my half remembered Spanish.. Burrito contents: Egg Cheese Potato Tomato Avocado add - salsa verde and rojo rolled into a traditional flour tortilla All under $4 The great thing about Mexican foods are that they are relatively healthy if consumed properly. Keep the quantities and meat low, add salsas (spicy foods help burn more calories), and pico de gallo, tomatoes, avocado, and you'll begin to reap the benefits of this amazing taco shop! I'm not gonna mark my territory, because I am a socialized animal. But, you are going to hear me barking cause someone better let me in to Oscar's!
(5)Faithe D.
Bomb breakfast burritos served by real Mexicans! Authentic small taco shop experience. Lunch is also great. Great enchilada sauce. Can't beat the potatoes on the breakfast burritos either. The staff always remembers my order and are kind and in a great mood every time I walk in.
(5)Brent E.
Love Oscar's. Definitely a favorite lunch spot for me and many others as its hard to get in door closer to noon. Fish tacos and rolled tacos are my favs. Of all the downtown Nashvegas Mexican restaurants...Oscar's appears to use the freshest produce.
(4)Ora B.
I actually really like Oscar''s food. Its tasty and a good price. My complaint is lack of consistency. I usually go to Oscar's for lunch or breakfast and take it back to my office. I love their junior burritos. It should be the same every time. Its just eggs, cheese, and potatoes. Once I went and the cheese was different and it was disgusting. Everyone in the office complained about this "new" cheese. I don't know if they ran out of cheddar and used what they had or what. Then today there was no potatoes on my burrito. Its three ingredients, how is one missing? I'm so disappointed honestly because I don't know if i want to go back due to not knowing how my food is going to end up. I've also had an experience where I walked back in the rain to get an order fixed because it was wrong. It's sad because the food is good. And I even suggest it to people who are visiting our office. But I don't know if I will return because I have no idea if my order is going to be right.
(3)Fernando C.
Avoid 3:30; it's packed w school kids just out!
(4)Brian K.
This place is legit! Manager/owner used to manage the Cotijas taco shop in Pacific Beach San Diego. In a sea of BBQ that is Nashville this taco shop hits all the marks. Their salsa is amazing-both red and green! Fish taco and carnitas tacos are so fresh tasting and filling too. Their guacamole is also outstanding. Try their California burrito or the chorizo, egg and cheese breakfast burrito. I will be back tomorrow for sure!
(5)Aric S.
This place is awesome. The guys are from Cali and thats where im from and its just what I was craving. Nothing like a good breakfast burrito after a night of drinking!
(5)Ian R.
Fast. Good. Cheap. Supposedly you are only supposed to be able to have 2 of those 3 at any given time. Oscar's is doing it's best to challenge that whole equation for the downtown lunch crowd. I have had a pretty good sampling from their menu including, fish tacos, burritos, quesadilla, fajitas, and tostadas. For my tastebuds the food hits a nice sweetspot between legit taco truck style Mexican food and the more common Tex-Mex that is more prevalent in these here parts. Oscar's calls it So-Cal Mexican, but having only been in So-Ten for most of my life I don't know how accurate that is. I only know that it is pretty darn good. I am very anxious to try the tortas and nachos to round the menu out. The atmosphere is of a very straightforward carryout restaurant. There is some bench seating and a couple of tables out front, but they are not particularly comfortable especially when it is busy. I have usually ordered to go as the service quick and close enough to still be very hot by the time I get back to the office. The only caveat that I have in this review is that I have heavily utilized Oscar's coupons, lunch specials, and emailed daily specials. That means that I have rarely paid full menu price for my selection and the cheap at the top of this review has a small asterisk by it. I take this as a positive and I appreciate that as a business Oscar's if very proactive in offering good deals for its customers. Also, a positive is that everything on the menu is so good that I usually just go with the special regardless of what it is. I have yet to be let down. Oscar's is an excellent addition to the downtown food scene. It fills a needed niche and will definitely become a valuable part of the lunch rotation.

It's close to my work so I go all the time! The service is quick and friendly! The food reminds me a lot of the Mexican food I used to get back in CA... And that says a lot! The prices are great and selection is awesome! I love the veggie burrito even though I'm not a vegetarian! Bit the chicken burrito and tacos are great! Also... Great hot sauce!!!
(5)Sara L.
I was too hungry to cook, or think, or make any decisions and it was late--luckily, according to yelp Oscar's was open and according to my GPS it wasn't too far away. I picked the beef taco and a chicken enchilada, plus guacamole and salsa. It was great guacamole and salsa, and I loved the taco. The enchilada was good, but I should have ordered another taco (after all, it is a taco shop). Clean, cheap, and open late. Good stuff!
(3)Ben I.
Love this place. Incredible chicken tacos, authentic and cheap. Always a place I go to while in Nashville!
(5)Desiree K.
This is the only place I will eat tacos in Nashville. Being in Southern California, I have a higher standard for carnitas and this place has BETTER carnitas than I've had in San Diego. Amazing. AND they are hip with the whole gluten free concept. Love this place and eat here at least once a week when I'm in Nashville. Thank you Oscar!
(5)Sherry J.
Fast, tasty, and cheap downtown fare. If this were open at night I'd probably skip Chipotle altogether.
(5)Glenn F.
This place rocks! Great fresh and authentic Mexican food. One can tell a lot about a good Mexican restaurant by the quality of their salsa. The ambiance is small and cramped, but for the price and great location, it can't be beat in the downtown locale. Solid, no doubt.
(4)Shavon L.
Fast, friendly service. My favorite is the chicken taco salad. I just noticed that there is one not only close to work but also close to the house. The lunch wait is about ten minutes but trust me it is well worth the wait. Lunch time parking is also a nightmare. So carpool if you can. The breakfast is tasty as well. Give it a try. You won't be disappointed.
(4)Cole D.
Glad to have this new addition to downtown. High quality ingredients. About as authentic of tacos that you will find in this part of the country. Fast, friendly service. I'm a fan. This will definitely be added to the weekly lunch rotation.
(4)Brent W.
Salsa is perfect. Chips go well with it. Taco salad is fresh. Price is cheap and exciting. Jury still out on everything else. Only been one time. Stand by...
(4)Devin P.
Seriously..... 1 pound breakfast burritos?!
(5)Ben L.
Best chorizo burrito Ive had downtown. Thats all that needs to be said.
(4)Richard C.
Moved here from Houston over a year ago and have been searching for decent tex-mex. A friend of mine who also moved here from Texas told me to check out Oscar's. The food here is VERY good, authentic, and appropriately priced. I would give 5 stars if the place had more seating and the lady running the register wasn't so sour.
(4)Greg B.
The food here WAS great, they had a change at who man's the cooking station... it might very well be the owner, because it seems like he is putting the least amount of ingredients possible to save a buck... The portions is what used to set the place apart from the rest of the downtown pack. They skimp on everything. I bought a breakfast burrito and experienced more tortilla than egg/ham/cheese. Bring back the old cook, or quit skimping on the food.
(2)Mavis J.
I liked the chicken fajitas. Friends had chicken tacos are were great! Great portions and inexpensive. Tortillas were awesome! Outdoor dining! Quick service! Will go back!
(4)Brandy W.
With a disappointing showing of vegetarian food in the main walking areas of downtown Nash, I decided to hit up Yelp (let's be honest... I do this even if there are a ton of options in front of my noggin) for some Mexicannnnn. Love me some Mexican and I'm always looking for a joint that serves it up good and cheap. This place was given the thumbs up from my fellow Yelpers and I'm jumped on it. Lemme hear ya sing it: "Jump, Jump, Jump on it..." Anyway. Over the hills and through the woods... okay, just over the hills and there I was. Mexican mecca. I consulted about the beans and lard usage: none. Just oil. And the rice? Chicken stock. Be fore-warned, fellow vegetarians. The veggie burrito isn't so... veggie friendly. I ordered two bean burritos which were on $1.99 special and was stuffed to the gills with leftovers. I'm not a prissy chick and can totally eat a full Chipotle burrito without batting an eye, so don't think I'm being modest here. The place was packed and the two outdoor tables were taken. I parked my rear on a nearby bench and only half wanted to bolt my belongings to my body in fear that I might get robbed by the characters around me. But the food? DEEEEELISH. I would most definitely be back with bells on.
(5)Chris C.
Tasty food and reasonable prices, friendly service too. Breakfast burrito and fish tacos are the bomb.
(4)Ruiqiu K.
2013/053 Finished a job earlier than expected downtown and my stomach cried for lunch, even though it was only 10:30. I remembered this from Yelp and hoped that they would be open. To my surprise, they had been open for several hours, since they also serve breakfast. As soon as I got in, the guy behind the counter was already preparing to-go orders. Lots of them. And yet, no sooner than I sat down after I placed my order, it was ready. I had to chuckle when full-sized plastic squeeze bottles of both the red and green sauces were on my tray -- I was immediately transported to the Mission District back home. The hot sauce was mild enough for me, and flavorful. I was in a gringa mood and requested the hard shell tacos, rather than their standard soft. I wasn't too enamored with the chicken on my tacos; nothing wrong with them -- in fact, I could see each individual chunk rather than the shredded versions I've always associated with cafeteria school lunches. I've been gradually not liking chicken over the years, and I think this was one of those days. The salsas helped with the flavor and I ended up eating everything on my plate. The rice was different, to me. Not the standard "Mexican rice". This had corn kernels mixed in. And there was no heavy tomato paste component. Small place. About 4 tables of 4 seats each, and 4 stools near the window. Definitely a popular place with the local workers in the area. And when I was in, there were quite a few Latino customers, which again is a good indicator of authenticity. A restaurant I'd come back to, especially for its diverse menu, affordable dishes, and friendy and efficient staff.
(5)Sandra P.
As a Mexican-American from California in town for business I was pleasantly surprised by this place! Nice tasty chorizo breakfast burrito that reminded me of the best of LA taco stands. Tasty and tangy salsa was an added bonus. The price was very reasonable and the staff was somewhat friendly. I only wish they had Mexican coffee or Mexican Coke in a bottle! but they did have Jarritos sodas in the glass bottle. Recommended.
(4)Jamie D.
Breakfast burrito update: someone better tighten my collar and hookup my chain..cause this dude's gonna be a regular! Ordered using my half remembered Spanish.. Burrito contents: Egg Cheese Potato Tomato Avocado add - salsa verde and rojo rolled into a traditional flour tortilla All under $4 The great thing about Mexican foods are that they are relatively healthy if consumed properly. Keep the quantities and meat low, add salsas (spicy foods help burn more calories), and pico de gallo, tomatoes, avocado, and you'll begin to reap the benefits of this amazing taco shop! I'm not gonna mark my territory, because I am a socialized animal. But, you are going to hear me barking cause someone better let me in to Oscar's!
(5)Faithe D.
Bomb breakfast burritos served by real Mexicans! Authentic small taco shop experience. Lunch is also great. Great enchilada sauce. Can't beat the potatoes on the breakfast burritos either. The staff always remembers my order and are kind and in a great mood every time I walk in.
(5)James R.
Dear Oscar, I was quite excited to drop by to grab a Taco or other Mexican vittle but alas you closed before your hours say you do. I got there at 2:50 on Saturday (your front sign says close at 3 on Saturdays) to find that the chairs had been placed on the tables and one of workers said you were closed. I was disappointed.
(1)Brent E.
Love Oscar's. Definitely a favorite lunch spot for me and many others as its hard to get in door closer to noon. Fish tacos and rolled tacos are my favs. Of all the downtown Nashvegas Mexican restaurants...Oscar's appears to use the freshest produce.
(4)Terrell L.
The Fish Taco's were the Especial today ! Very Good, Reasonable priced and Quick Friendly Service.
(5)Beth L.
Myself and two coworkers ate here for lunch one day. The food didn't taste bad, but I thought it was pretty greasy (I had a veggie quesadilla). We all ordered something different, though. Within about 15 minutes of eating, all three of us were in a panic. Let me just say that we all now refer to it as "Oscar's Diarrhea Shop". None of us will ever eat there again!! Unless, of course, we need a colon cleansing. I think it's just a little too rich/greasy - I prefer Chili Burrito.
(1)Ora B.
I actually really like Oscar''s food. Its tasty and a good price. My complaint is lack of consistency. I usually go to Oscar's for lunch or breakfast and take it back to my office. I love their junior burritos. It should be the same every time. Its just eggs, cheese, and potatoes. Once I went and the cheese was different and it was disgusting. Everyone in the office complained about this "new" cheese. I don't know if they ran out of cheddar and used what they had or what. Then today there was no potatoes on my burrito. Its three ingredients, how is one missing? I'm so disappointed honestly because I don't know if i want to go back due to not knowing how my food is going to end up. I've also had an experience where I walked back in the rain to get an order fixed because it was wrong. It's sad because the food is good. And I even suggest it to people who are visiting our office. But I don't know if I will return because I have no idea if my order is going to be right.
(3)Fernando C.
Avoid 3:30; it's packed w school kids just out!
(4)Aric S.
This place is awesome. The guys are from Cali and thats where im from and its just what I was craving. Nothing like a good breakfast burrito after a night of drinking!
(5)Simon K.
The best quality about this place is that it's consistent. Since I work in downtown, I end up eating here on a weekly basis. Each time my meals are consistently hot, fast, and tasty. Really, there's no need to take the time to tell you about their menu because it's everything you would expect from Mexican food; rice, beans, and various entrees. One thing different is that their quesadillas have all the ingredients already inside, so there's no guac, sour cream, or pico that comes on the side. Prices are inexpensive, again what you would expect from Mexican food, and the service is fast. Just a comment of remorse, don't get the combo platters unless you plan on sharing. Idk if it's their way of imposing Mexican culture on the U.S., but eating that much at lunch only brings about a "siesta" that my job isn't cool with. Well operated straightforward Mexican food.
(4)Ian R.
Fast. Good. Cheap. Supposedly you are only supposed to be able to have 2 of those 3 at any given time. Oscar's is doing it's best to challenge that whole equation for the downtown lunch crowd. I have had a pretty good sampling from their menu including, fish tacos, burritos, quesadilla, fajitas, and tostadas. For my tastebuds the food hits a nice sweetspot between legit taco truck style Mexican food and the more common Tex-Mex that is more prevalent in these here parts. Oscar's calls it So-Cal Mexican, but having only been in So-Ten for most of my life I don't know how accurate that is. I only know that it is pretty darn good. I am very anxious to try the tortas and nachos to round the menu out. The atmosphere is of a very straightforward carryout restaurant. There is some bench seating and a couple of tables out front, but they are not particularly comfortable especially when it is busy. I have usually ordered to go as the service quick and close enough to still be very hot by the time I get back to the office. The only caveat that I have in this review is that I have heavily utilized Oscar's coupons, lunch specials, and emailed daily specials. That means that I have rarely paid full menu price for my selection and the cheap at the top of this review has a small asterisk by it. I take this as a positive and I appreciate that as a business Oscar's if very proactive in offering good deals for its customers. Also, a positive is that everything on the menu is so good that I usually just go with the special regardless of what it is. I have yet to be let down. Oscar's is an excellent addition to the downtown food scene. It fills a needed niche and will definitely become a valuable part of the lunch rotation.
(4)Emily A.
Ummmm, this place kicks butt! Coming from a psycho healthy eater like me that's saying something because it's not exactly healthy. There is so much flavor hidden somewhere in between seemingly basic ingredients. Delicious! Try the quesadillas. They come in a bed of grease but worth it once in a while? I fully hope to update my review to 5 stars once I get my hands on one of their breakfast burritos. They are massive and dirt cheap ($4)!
(4)Ryan B.
What a great find! This visit was for breakfast. The chorizo, potato and egg burrito was top notch. They also give you a choice or red or green salsa to have with it. Very simple, very authentic, very affordable, very very delicious! I'll be back today for lunch and maybe even breakfast tomorrow.
(5)Matt L.
Not worth it, overall. A very dull menu. Nothing creative. Nothing really even worth mentioning I had their tacos, which weren't really that great. The location is on Church St., which offers no parking, and little seating. The food is only a couple steps above taco bell, with mostly the same menu. There are literally 20 places within walking distance that are much better than Oscar's. There's nothing terrible about the place, but it's just not very good either.
(2)Brian K.
This place is legit! Manager/owner used to manage the Cotijas taco shop in Pacific Beach San Diego. In a sea of BBQ that is Nashville this taco shop hits all the marks. Their salsa is amazing-both red and green! Fish taco and carnitas tacos are so fresh tasting and filling too. Their guacamole is also outstanding. Try their California burrito or the chorizo, egg and cheese breakfast burrito. I will be back tomorrow for sure!
(5)Michael C.
Good enough for two days in a row. If you find yourself downtown, get out and find Oscars. Don't let the name fool you, though, there is a nearly full Mexican menu waiting inside for you (not just tacos). So grab a Mexican Coke from the cooler (real sugar, not high fructose corn syrup), and some really tasty food.
(5)Meredith H.
First time coming in here, and there was actually a really good variety of food! I ended up getting a fish sandwich, and the portion was huge! I didn't get any sides, and I thought it'd come with like fries or whatever, but it didn't and that's OK because I was full! Anyways, it was fast and very tasty!
(3)LaTamera W.
Had the chicken quesadilla. It was large, greasy, soggy, and messy. I loved that it was huge. Totally bigger than I anticipated. However it was not "toasty". It tasted as if it had been grilled earlier and microwaved. And come to think of it, I think there was any cheese. It was filled with guacamole, tomatoes, sour cream, chicken, and loads of grease. This is a new place down town and I will give it another try because it's my first meal and you cant fairly judge a place on one meal. Hopefully the next meal will be better. Just note, I will not be ordering any quesadilla's from this place.

I meant to write an update ages ago, but totally forgot. I've been back to Oscar's on several occasions and the food was good. the staff is nice, and the portions sizes are huge considering the low prices. I usually had food left over that I would save.
(4)Austin G.
Oscar's Taco Shop is good for a quick lunch in a cool part of downtown Nashville. I got the shrimp burrito and enjoyed it. It wasn't as filling as most burritos, but it was good.
(3)Big T.
Good place for a simple, quick taco or other Mexican food. The service a little abrupt, but the food and value make up for it.
(4)Amanda E.
Kinda disappointed in this place. Maybe b/c I'm from Texas so my expectations of Mexican food is high.
(3)Momma M.
The worst taco place I have ever eaten at. I was visiting Nashville and stopped there for dinner. I got the chicken enchiladas. 1.) they use yellow cheese - not Mexican cheese. 2.) the chicken was COLD and rubbery. Not to mention the sauce had a horrible after taste. If you are visiting Nashville walk right past this joint.
(1)Kristy E.
We had breakfast burritos here, which were delicious! Great stop! Everyone enjoyed their meal, prices very reasonable too.
(4)Michelle P.
Love love love Oscar's! Just wish they stayed open later. I usually get the shredded beef or chicken tacos with rice and queso and it never disappoints. The only downside besides their closing time is that it can get pretty busy on the weekends, which sucks since there is very limited seating. Other than that, the food is so so good!
(4)Kristin M.
NEVER AGAIN!!! Decided to try a fish taco. They were about to close in about 20 minutes so they were cleaning up. There was a guy with gloves on who was mopping the floor and pouring chemicals into the bucket;wiping counters with gloves, no towels, just gloves. He then turns around and grabs a tortilla and places it on the grill..with those same gloves on. He then proceeds to continue cleaning. Then comes out and proceeds to make the fish taco with those same gloves on!!!!!! I immediately advised him that I did not want the taco. He acted as if he did not understand me. I advised him again that I did not want the taco and he grabs it, says profanities and then slam dunks the taco into the trash can. Another guy came out to make the taco but by that time it was too late. Of course I didn't want it! I asked the girl to refund me my money, which she did. Eww...The fact that he thought it was okay to use those same gloves to clean and cook says alot to me about this business..Never again.
(1)Adam B.
Oscar's is the kind of restaurant I like for lunch, fast and reasonably priced. It was hopping when I stopped in but they worked through the line fast. I waited about ten minutes for my food and there was a line the entire time I was there. I had the fish tacos and a carnitas burrito. The tacos were really good, loaded with pico and whatever "Oscar sauce" is. The carnitas burrito, if judged on it's own, was tasty but the pork was really dry. However, with a touch of house hot sauce on each bite, it worked out just fine. If you like fast Mexican food, made by friendly staff, when you are downtown, try Oscar's.
(4)G W.
My husband and I both got horribly, horribly sick after eating here. Never, ever again. It wasn't even good, either. And heads up, the guacamole is the fake kind.
(1)David B.
Tasty food and very good but service could be better. We've been many times during lunch and it seems like the cooks or owner seem to mess up the portions and order. We would get charged for something but not get it. Or portions one day would be good and somedays would be really small. They are inconsistent. Some days the .guy would be cool and happy and some days ignorant.
(2)Susan B.
After recently moving downtown each week I go to a different place to eat. Yelp the reviews for Oscars and was really excited to try my first fish taco. well I didn't have anything to compare it too I'm not a fan of fish tacos. But I did have a burrito and some guacamole. the guacamole was good but I love it . The burrito is decent. Although I doubt I would go there again. 3 stars
(3)Tyler G.
Great food at a great price! The menu is fairly wide and full of flavor. I would definitely come back.
(5)Consumer I.
Cheap food, but you get what you pay for... I wouldn't choose it over Taco Bell, that's for certain. I felt like my plate was served up to look like a dog's breakfast.
(2)Dyann F.
The chicken tostadas were VERY good. The margarita was even better! The queso dip is a little different then most but it was still tasty. The atmosphere is pretty nice too we were lucky enough to get a table by the open wall of windows and it was a beautiful night! Our server was very polite as well even though she did offer a free shot to someone in our party who was celebrating his birthday but then never gave it to him...
(5)Mike D.
No outdoor seating today so i got it to go. Same great taco's as usual but yelp says they are open till 5pm but someone inside said they close at 3pm not 5pm
(5)Jami C.
You must get the fish burrito! I love that there are few ingredients so the ingredients they do use can really speak for themselves. Delicious and very reasonably priced.
(5)Jessi B.
Delicious! The husband and I stopped by for a quick bite to eat and were pleasantly surprised. Don't pass this place up!
(5)Manuel D.
Excellent Mexican food!!!...I am always looking forward to eat at Oscars... Live those authentic salsas... !!
(4)Charity L.
Wide variety of Mexican on the menu. Quick to get our food even though line was lengthy. Surprisingly big proportions. Well priced with a friendly staff. I'd go back.
(4)Nina P.
This place is nothing to write home about. As a matter of fact I am not impressed at all. I went there for lunch today and ordered a chicken taco and chicken enchilada. I thought the chicken enchilada would have had cheese on it but it didn't. I would rather to go Las Palmas or Q'doba. The chicken enchilada is dry. I will probably never visit again.
(2)Aaron E.
Simple fresh ingredients. I had the fish taco and shrimp taco, both were amazing! I've been back several times for lunch and keep ordering the same thing!
(5)A G.
My husband and I will pretty much seek out any kind of Mexican/taco place in every city we visit. We're kind of obsessed. This place was DELICIOUS. A super hole-in-the-wall kind of feel, so we felt pretty confident we'd like it. Not a ton of seating - we sat at the tables on the sidewalk outside. We got there just as the lunch rush came through, so go early if you don't plan to take out. The food is really fresh. The salsa is so good. The serving is large, so go hungry. I will definitely be going back whenever I get back to Nashville.
(4)Caroline P.
The fish tacos are out of this world! It's a perfect blend of tangy and salty! Definitely getting that from now on. Recommend it for all fish taco lovers!
(5)Bonnie T.
I ordered 2 crunchy tacos with ground beef. I ordered and paid for sour cream but they didn't come with sour cream. Sad face. They WERE STILL AMAZING! The light, crunchy shells were what did it. Yum.
(5)Amanda J.
I've only gone for the breakfast burritos so that's all I can really comment on, but they are sooo good. If you get there before ten the breakfast burritos are under 3 bucks! You can't beat that. It's not all of them though I think only the bacon, ham, or sausage but still it's such a good price. Now if I had a choice id probably go 4 1/2 stars because I love rice in my burrito but every time I've gone they have told me that the rice isn't ready yet.. Well from their hours posted they have been opened for at least two hours. But the option to get potatoes for 50 cents added and the already cheap price compensates for this!
(5)Cameron C.
This is my first time visiting Oscar's Taco Shop. The guy at the counter was really friendly and answered all my questions. I ordered the veggie tacos and they were delicious and super fast. I think they make their own hot sauce and it's awesome. I would definitely come here again!
(4)Joshua S.
Oscar's is the one place I go to at least once a week for lunch. Hands down best burritos I've ever had. It's a small place, and the layout is a little weird. I've tried every burrito that is on the menu and I loved everyone.
(5)Jim C.
Really good fresh tacos. We had the chicken tacos and added verde salsa and they were excellent. Worth the 1mile walk in the rain.
(5)A P.
So this place is an anomaly of sorts. Its VERY rare that I trust "strip mall" mexican, but this joint is the real deal. All the owners are from California and are mexican, so that puts them ahead of many out the gate. Their breakfast burritos are unreal, and if you sign up to receive emails on their list, many days they are $2.98. Cant beat it for a 1lb stuffed burrito. Any other times I think they are around 4 dollars. The Carne Asada tacos for lunch are my "go to" every time, and I cant change. err. Delicious steak and simple pico with cilantro tops them, comes with a couple limes. :) The best.
(5)I B.
This place is freaking awesome! It tastes just like the stuff I got in San Diego. Then to make it even better the two salsas they provided tasted excellent. I will be going here again.
(5)Ginger J.
Great street tacos! The girl taking our order was super friendly, which we loved. The food was great and hit the spot! Worth a stop!
(5)Michael H.
Oscars is awesome. I have worked downtown for over two years and just found this place after meeting a friend for lunch. The food was incredible and the service was great. The prices are very reasonable for downtown Nashville. There are a couple tables outside to eat at and there is a tv inside if you want to watch some news at lunch. I will definitely be adding this place to my lunch line up.
