Comments (199)
Great food if you can find it! This restaurant is hiding behind two hotel and a gas station/ convenience store (7-11). Entrance is off back driveway for Motel 6, one small sign on highway 351 north (Ambler Ave. south). Any restaurant that can survive there is gaurenteed good food 🥑. Breakfast all day which is nice for travelers, light menu for kids and seniors for those of us that really dont eat much. Lunch specials and a full dinner menu that will make your decision hard.
Oscars in Anson, Texas was really good. From the moment we walked in, we felt welcomed. The service was great and starting with the chips and salsa all the way to the guacamole enchiladas (#32 on the menu) the food was excellent. We will be back.
Didn’t receive orders correct 2 of 4. Never received a drink for our daughter. Food wasn’t good at all. Girls did have good cheese kids enchiladas. Restaurant didn’t have any air on. Very warm in there
Was so not impressed. We had a large party, one waitress who had zero patience with answering questions. The food was just okay for mostly everyone. Wouldnt return if Im in town.
Great food. A lil scarce on drink options but awesome service and delicious food!
Lousy customer service. Not once did any of the waitresses ask how I was doing or if I needed a refill or anything elsr
SR chicken strips: 4 dried up, burned up strips about the size of French fries. At first I actually thought they were French fries! Been twice. 2 strikes and theyre out.
The food was below a 1 starThe so called street tacos consisted of chewy, over heated nasty beef fajitas, greasy corn tortillas, old pico, black guacamole and the taco had very lil nasty meat.
Food was delicious! Went there for mothers day. Staff was very friendly!
Omg they have the best 🍗🍗🍗 Chicken Wings EVER! NOT greasy, and crispy. I LOVED THEM!!!
I believe food was cookie day before serving …chicken was dry and brown …old tortillas….rude waitress …hard to find a place ….I would not recommendThis place to anyone …lots of better options ….
Good Mexican food, (or Tex-Mex) is almost ALWAYS very subjective. (you can tell that from the vast extreme of reviews on here) What I like, you may despise, (and vice-versa) IMO, Tex-Mex is known by ground beef, lots of cheese, and salsas that will set you on fire. Traditional Mexican food is mostly chicken-based items, along with seafood. If there IS beef in the enchiladas / etc, its typically shredded beef. (I personally prefer Tex-Mex) Having been born, and raised in Texas, and spent most of my life there, gotta say, this is a pretty good place. Ive been working in Abilene, (I dont live here) and Im always on the lookout for a good Non-chain restaurant.. I came in, I ordered Carne Gusida, because I read it was very good here. It was. Granted, it was early in the evening, and the restaurant was not crowded yet, but my service was exceptional! ....got my food quicker than most fast-food places. When the Carne Gusida came, it was so hot, I could hardly eat it....and the tortillas were so hot, I couldnt even hold them. This was Top 5 all time Carne Gusida in my book. (and thats an honor) Word of advice: Dont let the extremely modest exterior of the restaurant fool you, Go on in, and try it. (I almost didnt myself)
A simple, straightforward Mexican place. I was part of a large group and we had excellent service.
Food tasted delicious. Good restaurant. We went to this location once but will definitely make a stop here again whenever we make our way on this side of town again.
Great Hidden place to get a bite to eat.. friendly staff, youre able to call in your order to eat there if you are short on time, so its ready when you arrive.. I recommend trying the Chihuahua (pictured below divided into 2 portions) .. you also get chips and tasty hot sauce before your meal.
Good food, good service, good price 👍 my wife and I enjoy eating here often!
Great Tex-mex food. Salsa has a food kick and food is nice and flavorful
Absolutely love how friendly and personalized the service is. My kiddos are always interacted with and not just ignored like most server staff does. Affordable for a larger family, best salsa in Abilene hands-down!! Tucked away for a more private dining in experience. My favorite agave based margaritas!! Been enjoying their food and service for 4 years now.
We whipped in here in a whim and we were not disappointed in the least. The food was great. Some parts out of this world, some parts just okay but nonetheless it came fast, was hot, fresh, and we cleaned our plates. The service was great, and the atmosphere was friendly. The chicken enchilada with sour cream sauce and the cheese enchilada with red sauce were perfect. We hope to travel through here and stop again.
I would love to try it when was in AbileneEsc 14 with the ladies and San Angelo Esc 15.
The service and food was terrible. Our waitress who was also the manager didn’t give us time to finish ordering before moving on to the next person at our table. The food was not fresh. The meat on the tacos we ordered was dry and had absolutely no flavor, the tomatoes on the tacos were one small SLICE of tomato on each taco, and the shredded cheese clearly came out of a bag. One of us ordered the enchiladas with sour cream sauce but the “sauce” was just sour cream spread on top and thrown in the microwave. The ranch we were given tasted sour and old. We informed our waitress/manager that we weren’t satisfied with anything and she only took one meal off of our ticket before doing so she said “I mean no one else has complained about the food” and that the ranch was fine. She had also added a drink before hand and after we seen the ticket she removed it. We had to pay $53 for food that wasn’t even worth $10. Our original ticket would have been over $70 for FIVE meals that we weren’t satisfied with at all and only ONE had been eaten. I 100% do not recommend going to this restaurant. Don’t waste your time or money.
Love the beef sour creme enchiladas. Also Beef Mexican Nachos. Good place, and fast service.
Fantastic food and Staff. A memorable lunch with 6 new friends!
Oscars is a restaurant I would most definitely recommend to my friends and family and also to anyone looking to enjoy great eats . The food is great and you get get big portions also the cost is very reasonable. The staff is friendly and attentive. 😁👍🏻🦊
It sucks because we absolutely love the food and coming here, but whenever we do order, the service is awful. It almost is always a pain just to put in a simple order over the phone, the person taking the order sounds annoyed, then when picking up the food. I don’t understand the “attitudes” or feeling like an “inconvenience” when simply paying for food.
Chips and taco shell tasted recycled. Was not crispy.Enchilada, tea, beans and rice were good. I would prefer lemon with my tea instead of lime.Sopapillas were a little under cooked...almost raw in spots.
The salsa was decent and thats the only good thing I can say about this place. Service was slow, we asked for tea and got water. We requested customizations to our oder and the waitress insisted that we didnt change anything. We corrected her 3 times until she wrote it down right. In the end, the food just didnt taste good and we wont be back when there are better places to go like Miguels and Alfredos.
Got some very good to go plates, salsa some of the best Ive had at a restaurant. In from out of town and going to get some salsa to take home and make hot wings with.
Discovered this good place on a visit to the area and went there two days in a row. Really nice atmosphere in this establishment. We are always looking for good chips and salsa , fresh tasting and homemade tex mex dishes and we were certainly pleased to get these here. Fast friendly service and the breakfast burritos were big and awesome. Can’t wait to go back!
Walked in and was immediately greeted and sat to a comfortable booth. Then had my refreshing sweet and I do mean actually sweet tea served quickly. I wasnt rushed to order. The server was extremely nice and patient with my hungry self. The food was extremely delicious. Fantastic experience. I will definitely go again!!
Food is mostly plain. Enchiladas just rolled up ground beef with velveeta. Rice a little dry. Beans were good
Its an good restraunt if youre into Mexican food. Has some American things
Locally owned, family run Mexican food restaurant featuring owner invented dishes, some quite original such as Street fajita tacos made with steak fajita meat, Pico diguyo and sauted onions....5 in all served with rice and beans by friendly waitresses. I will certainly return on my next trip thru Abilene TX.
Last time we ate there the service was terrible there was people who got there 15 minutes after and were served before us .They had ran out of salsa and just gave us chips order two sweet teas they ran out of tea and served it to the customers who got there 15 minutes after us. Food never arrived i am guessing because we were not country people. This place is for white bread people who like bland mexican food.
Excellent food and our waitess was fantastic.
Very friendly staff, amazing food‼️
Every place in the area was packed and we were able to sit down immediately here. We were on a road trip and just needed some lunch and we were so glad we stopped here. The food was delicious and came out so quickly.
Ordered Los Compadres plate all I can say is disgusting everything was over salted the only thing that was good was my coke. Definitely not authentic Mexican food. Service meh
Awesome! Food, staff and even the coffee were all amazing. Very pleased. Ordered takeout for dinner because we were staying at a hotel nearby. We were so pleased with the takeout order (street tacos) we decided to come back to dine in for lunch the following day and were equally pleased! We will be returning soon!
Service was excellent.. Food was good. Wouldnt be my go-to place for Mexican food, but was certainly fine for a change of taste. I enjoyed it very mucb.
Stopped right before they closed. No hesitation, had chip and salsa in flash. Food was great and service was excellent. Will be back!!
Great place to eat. Waitress was very friendly. Highly recommended
Good food, nice little place and we had great service. Lunch was ready and served really fast. They have good salsa also.
Ordered the tamale dinner. Everything was good except the canned cheese covering the tamales. Even Velveeta would have been better. Loved the chips & hot sauce. Excellent service -- my tea glass was not allowed to get below 1/3 full, & the chips & salsa refills just kept coming!
I only gave 4 stars because when I had the chili relleno, it was full of seeds. Everything was full of flavor and tastes great. The only thing I hated was I got a mouth full of seeds with every bite I took. It seems like they prepare it how its suppose to but leaving the seeds inside. Also its very spicy and I had to eat it with sour cream to cool down every bite. Also the table salsa is very spicy. I have to dip the chips in it barely and that was very hot
I got the chimi and the tortilla was SO good! My waitress was Mrs. Lisa and she really is yhe sweetest human ever. Cant wait to go back once I move to Abilene!
Waited forever just to get drinks then the waitress was slow food was ok but not worth the price wont go back there
Service was very good, but our food was salty. The salsa and chips were the best part of the meal. However, I usually get the street tacos and am very happy with that entree. The stacked enchiladas with the egg on top was the entree that I found to be very salty. My friend had the giant stuffed burrito. We agreed that it was the meat filling in both dishes that was way too salty.
Absolutely, the best food. My girlfriend had the chicken fajitas and I had the beef fajitas and they had the absolute best tortillas I have ever eaten. The tea was great and the pretty waitress was superb. It was a special occasion and the Best dining experience in a long time. I want to eat there everyday.
The service was wonderful and we were greeted with a smile,thank you for asking us feel at home.
Clean and fresh. Food was good.The service was very good. I was shocked I was charged for a second cup of coffee. I used more that one napkin. Perhapes I should have told her so she could charge me for that too.
Very good food but make sure you dont get one of the young kids as your waiters or you will be dying of thirst for a refill 😂 pricing is a little high but the food offsets this a little.
I judge a Mexican restaurant on their salsa & Oscars is one of the best Ive had! The entree is never disappointing! As a local, Oscars comes highly recommended!
We are staying in a nearby hotel and called in a pickup order. They have senior meals for only $4.50! We ordered 2 taco platters, which each include 2 tacos, rice, beans, chips, & salsa. Very good and filling meal for a small price!
Absolutely excellent food- top notch quality. Charming little building, too.
The service was great. The food on the other hand was not good at all. I had the Chihuahua enchiladas and i was not empressed at all the tortillas were not fried, enchilada sauce taste like it was canned, canned beans, really dry rice, dirty water cup. My wife fe ordered street tacos and she was not happy with the food at all, tortillas were soaked in cooking oil and no taste to the ingredients. This is far from being a mexican restaurant. The salsa and chips were good.
Went to the oscars on buffalo gap ( couldnt find its listing) . was only ok. i asked what the rellenos were wrapped in. they said breading. was not breading, but more of an egg thyme wrap ( at first i thought it was just soggy , then realized it was more an egg thing). the out side was kind of tasteless, the inside was meat and cheese. meat tasted ok but cheeses was kind of tasteless. one had queso on it and one had green sauce. disappointed in both sauces unfortunately. pepper was tasteless too, and i was really surprised about that. i live poblanos and eat a fair number of them. rice was fine, but beans lacked flavor as well. sorry to say i was very disappointed overall. 😔
Dont order the nachos! Chips were stale and they use nacho cheese from a can! Blah!Service was good. Restaurant was clean. Too bad the food was substandard.*Edit: Dear Owner thank you for responding to my post. I have raised the star rating to 3 instead of 1 because you care enough to take the time to respond. Concerning our visit. I did mention the canned cheese to an employee. Who was more than willing to change our order. We simply didnt have time to wait. I highly recommend getting rid of the gas station type nachos and go with real cheese melted under a broiler. We are willing to try your restaurant again only because you care.
The water tasted like A dirty sock have been soaked in it. But the food was truly amazing. The waitress was very timely and attentive. Normally Mexican food messes with my stomach but I did not have any of those symptoms hours later.
Love going to eat with my small family here. Food is good and I enjoy trying new items. Friendly service and love having a whole pitcher to pour/refill my own salsa.
The food was delicious. My meal was on my table in around 5 minutes . The waitresses was very friendly.Salsa taste really good spicy for the first couple of seconds then turns mild.
Very good food, very good service even on an extremely busy Sunday morning!!
I was told at the motel next door that this is their favorite Mexican restaurant. I am glad I ate there. The food was great and the service was excellent. I wish they had shredded beef but the ground beef tacos were still pretty good!
Not fancy but who cares. Its aithenic. Food was awesome. . Bathrooms and dining area spotless. Nice staff. Couldnt be better.
The salsa is great, and the food is good but not amazing. The tortillas are thicker but have a great flavor and are homemade which I appreciate. The thing that bugged us the most was the queso they sell as an appetizer and use on some of the dishes is literally stadium nacho cheese, from a can i assume. My husband and I were both shocked at that and have never seen that at any Mexican restaurant before. Other than that, it was okay for the price.
I went to the location on Ambler and west lake road. While I was in line I viewed the food and could smell the odors in the place. There were flies all over the food, the waitress serving the food just wave her hand to move them. The place smelled of old dish water. I left quickly without ordering anything from that place.
Horrible!! . No flavor. Canned chicken and beans. (You can deff tell).. tacos came with WAY too much cilantro. No cheese.. queso (pretty sure )was canned also. Mind you.... i have eaten at Oscars in the past and it was authentic.. great flavor . NOPE. Not anymore. Too much cilantro in the salsa.. this Totally explains why there was so many empty seats. My wife couldnt even finish her burrito due to salty chicken and sour guacamole.. deff wasnt worth the 35$ we spent. We will be Sure to stay with Don luis.. MUCH better food.. service and hospitality...
The atmosphere is good and food was ok, however, we found a rubber band in the salsa and instead of replacing the salsa or comping anything, they just left it and said it was from the cilantro. Well, needless to say, we wont be returning.
Good food, good service, reasonable prices, festive decor. Very happy with our visit. Oh, portions are more than ample.
Worst Mexican food Ive ever eaten. Meat bland. Tortilla was raw.
Cute local place. Food was ok. A variety of menu choices. Margaritas were wine based. Didnt like that. No happy hour. Staff friendly. Liked that we could refill our salsa bowls they give you a container full!
Wow, Im a very satisfied customer. After moving to Abilene 5 yrs ago from San Antonio, I find myself constantly missing a authentic Mexican food restaurant. The food was delicious. I wish I would have thought to take a picture before eating. The service was very friendly, attentive, and quick. Most places in Abilene have a long wait when it comes to service, but I was impressed with our service. The food came out pretty quickly after we ordered but still was hot and tasted fresh. I think they may have The Flash helping them out lol. Friendly fast service and quality food. Definitely visiting again soon
NOT MEXICAN FOOD at all! This place is a joke. They say they are authentic Mexican but its not even close to being that. I guess they can get away with it with people who are from up north and have never had Mexican. If you want authentic Mexican and passing by El Paso TX, now that is what i mean about true Mexican flavors.
The food was ok but lacked authenticity. The enchiladas I ordered were small and did not have much cheese or sauce on the top. There are no actual margaritas or drinks besides beer. I called to one of the servers and got whats up in response. I suppose its an ok restaurant for the town its in but if I come back through here I wont be stopping again.
Service and Server were prompt and friendly...but the food..cmon man..tried it when it first opened and then again tonight...not on the radar for anything at this point. you very likely might have a taste for it but there was absolutely no authenticity here.
The waitress we had was not good. She kept forgetting to bring the extras we asked for. She never checked on her customers. I had to yell for her to get her to come over and let her know she forgot our sides. The food was okay but not what I expected. I expected authentic Mexican food and its more like a high end Taco Bell. Wont be back.
Excellent food and friendly staff
If I could give it less than 1 star I would...Went on 4/2/21 took us over 35 minutes to get an El Chito plate and a burrito...Never got chips & salsa(please dont say if you order breakfast you dont, since there was 3 other tables that got sat down and got chips & salsa while being seated)Food came out cold as ice also...WILL NOT BE BACK...Mi Ranchito is the place to go...
Best hole in the wall in Abilene. Had the chimichanga with beef and it was great! Kind of wished they offered a beef fajita option for it but it was so good none the less. The second I walked in it took me back to one of the places I used to go in Houston. There are not alot of good Mexican food places in Abilen but this is one of them.
Lord have mercy. For the cost you think the food wouldve tasted better. The sauce was too hot, could barely eat it. Queso is FAKE and powdery tasting. Its just not good Mexican food at all. Weve ate here multiple times but this was our last. Will definitely be going to Abuelos where its worth it.
I never write review... but I always read them. I’m not from Abilene, but was passing through and thought I’d stop here for lunch. After receiving my food I immediately regret my decision. Tex-Mex slop! I’m not a rude person so I didn’t bother to say anything to the waitress or send it back... I doubt it’s a mistake. Just a normal occurrence that everyone is used to or has accepted as normal. In fact, the waitress being kind is the only reason I’m giving them two stars. Because the food was flavorless garbage as far as I’m concerned. Oh well, now I know! I still tipped her 40%.
Always enjoy eating at Oscars 351. Elyse is an exceptional server. The facility is extremely clean. The food is delicious! As always!!
Pretty good food, but you dont want the table by the office door near the cash register! Its very loud with staff banging the door each time they come in or out. You cant enjoy your meal if youre sitting there.
Love the food and service was great
The family-run dedication to friendly service is obvious from every smiling face from Oscar at the door on throughout our Tuesday lunch. Our server handled a handsy toddler with ease. Their chips were warm and the salsa (served so smartly in a pitcher for the table with individual bowls) was fire!
My friend & I ate here a a couple of weeks ago & it the food was incredible! Some of the best Mexican food I’ve had in Texas or any state for that matter, & I’ve traveled all over. I got the sour cream chicken enchilada plate, which came with rice & beans. The chips & salsa were bomb! (Spicy, flavorful, aromatic salsa, that was not too thick, & not too chunky.) They serve the salsa in a self-serve container, & each individual gets their own salsa bowl, (which is great for double-dippers, clean-freaks, germaphobes, lol.)The service was so-so, which is why I’m giving it 4 out of 5 stars. I would definitely go back & recommend it!
The waitress was very kind and carried on a great conversation while doing her job in an excellent manner. The food was great too.
Food was mediocre at best; canned nacho cheese as queso, meals were bland, seemed mostly frozen or canned food not fresh made. Large portions tho. The waitress was new but very polite and did a good job. Restaurant was clean with pretty wall paintings. My companions margarita was actually a dark green wine cooler and marg mix, not an actual cocktail. Overall I wouldnt return or recommend. 4 stars for atmosphere, price for portion, and good service. 0 for food and drinks.
Food is cold sevice was not good not offered something to drink had to ask and no refills!! People not friendly people leaning on the front counter not attending customers. We finally got drinks and no refills. Will not return sorry.. Hope it gets better for customer that do eat there they deserve better.
I had the Shrimp a la Plancha. If your tolerance for spiciness is low, steer clear of this dish. It is SPICEY HOT! The shrimp were cooked well and it was flavorful, but you may miss the joy factor of the meal if you cant handle the heat. Service was great, staff was friendly, and food was good. Go in and try it. Id eat there again.
Great food and friendly service!! The food came out really quick, too! We will definitely eat there again.
I must say this is the first time I have ever left a review and I wish I could say it was a good one. After reading the reviews for this restraint I know the reviews people have no effect on the restraint there our 3 reviews that say the queso taste like nacho cheese out of a can these reviews our correct and yet nothing has changed. That shows lack of care by ownership me my wife and daughter waiited more than a hour for our food and the waitress was apologizing for how long it was taking 5 minutes after she took our order. I am new to abilene and am extremely disappointed in the Mexican food here I have ate at 4 different Mexican restaurants and have not had a good experience yet I will not be returning to Oscars.
The food at Oscars is the best in town and the service is top notch. They are very polite and courteous. I give them a five star rating!
First couple times we went food was excellent thought we found our new spot to eat. Today, aweful! Food was salty I couldn’t even eat it. Waitress who barely checked on us just said “sorry” and no offer to fix or get anything else. Went to cash out told the lady and she said “first time Ive heard that tonight.” Then as I was walking out had the nerves to call me rude. My money will never be spent at this location again and will not refer this place to anyone in the future.
There was nothing wrong with the service, but it was completely average food. With the atmosphere I was hoping for more authentic Mexican. This was a degree or two above the fast food places.
Friendly staff. Salsa and chips were very good. Food was cooked to order. I will be back.
I was worried when I first walked in, but a regular told me to try the street tacos. I added the chihuahua enchaladas and they were great also. Around 8pm people started coming in and by 9pm there were 5 tables with at least 20 people at them. All the other tables were full too. The locals obviously believe in this restaurant, and I will eat there again, if I am in town.
Excellent Mexican food with a large menu to choose from. Very good service and friendly people. I usually get the Chile Relleno plate. It comes with 2 large Chile rellenos, rice and beans. Its definitely a full meal place to eat. We go there when ever we are in Abilene.
Food not worth the cost. Service very very slow if you have a large party . Last time members off my church arrived little after twelve, got out after 2:00. 2hrs is too long
Nice little hidden restaurant on the Northside of Abilene. Good food decent prices great customer service. Also, Free chips and salsa just for sitting down.
My husband and I went through the drive thru tonight. He ordered super street tacos that came with beans and rice. The beans were hard, dry and completely inedible. There was rice stuck to the bottom of the box in a thick, solid layer. It seemed like that one box of rice and beans together was made yesterday at best, and was sitting out for a while before being served. The tacos were served exactly how they were ordered so that was nice, but they werent anything to write home about. The brown guacamole and old seperated sour cream were gross and also not eaten. The service was very friendly and didnt take too long. The rice and beans though 🤢
I personally didnt like the food, or service. While the waitress was nice, she was not attentive. The queso is probably the worst Ive ever had...it taste like canned nacho cheese. Id say save your money and go else where.
It’s great! The chips and salsa are delicious. I enjoyed my pollo con hongos.
Oscars has a good Tex-mex offering on thier menu. One of my favorite things about it is that breakfast items are available all day long.It has a friendly Cantina style atmosphere with usually great service from the wait staff.Sometimes on very seldom occasions the quality of the food and service will go from excellent to just fair. I have noticed this to happen from time to time when they are either COMPLETELY OVERWHELMED with traffic or in off peak hours when there are hardly any customers at all.USUALLY you cant go wrong eating at Oscars, it is by far one of my favorites in the Mexican food arena in Abilene.
Waitress was very nice. The food was pretty tasty. Had to wait a little while to be seated. We will come here again, next time we pass through.
Great food couersty service 👌
Chile rellenos were good...
Very bland food. Enchiladas were just stuffed beef and chicken tortillas with melted cheese on top! First and last time here. Disappointed
Food was good. They dont have sweet tea but I wont hold that against them. Service was great.
Our waitress was as cute as could be. The food was good. Nice place.New review: took my grandbaby there for lunch. Waitress was so nice. Sorry to say the Food was too much (lol) was delish.
Today I had THE best MENUDO that I had ever ever had at a restaurant.... It was saucey not watery and very close to my menudo that I make at home. I will go back again and have it and pray it wasnt a fluke.
Great Tex-Mex food, great service. I had the tostada plate which was great, really delicious guacamole, and the chips and hot sauce were very good. Fountain drinks were mixed very well and super carbonated. We will be back.
The fajita meat was very small, and it taste terrible. The waitress was rude to me and told me if I didnt like my plate I would have to pay for it anyway and buy my other meal as well.
Worst Mexican food we have ever eaten. Waitress was very, very nice. No complaint there.
My family and I were really excited to have Mexican food today. What a let down, we came in right after lunch, had to wait an hour and when we got our food it was cold the rice was hard and it was all together discusting. This is by far the worst restaurant (Mexican )food my family and I have ever had. Very dissapointed p
The food and service was great. Theres one thing I really didnt like the place - 90% of our time we stayed in the restaurant, one of the staff was sweeping the floor with the ceiling fans On. Am pretty sure dust was everywhere.
Home town experience with home cooked flavor and presentation.This family makes you feel as if you are a guest in their family kitchen for dinner.I look forward to my next visit to Oscars.
Great service and food! Very friendly and good atmosphere. Good portions!We will return when back in Abilene!Were from out of state, one of the better Mexican restaurants
Not even 15 minutes of being in the restaurant, they didn’t want to serve anymore because they were closing at 8:24pm when they are open until 9pm. They shoved the ticket in my face and demanded it was time to leave when there was 40 more minutes left of their day.I was not rude and I never am towards people but boy, YALL TAKE THE CAKE ON RUDENESS!
After a doctors appointment over at Hendricks there is nothing better than some of the best Mexican food around. Their salsa is simply delicious and the service is to notch.
Food is excellent. 12 different meals in our groups and all were perfect. My El Nopal was so good. Going to try breakfast sometime. 😋
The food came out fast and was delicious! The wait staff was very polite and our waitress Emmie took great care of us.
Good place to eat. Food is outstanding. Was a bit slow, I did come in durring down side of rush hour dinner. Give them a shot
Food was good hot got fast service was my first time eating there now my new favorite place too eat
We went on the internet and they recommend Oscars. It was excellent, speedy, and service was fantastic. Got us back on the road fast! STOP AND RAT HERE!
Everyone was sooooo nice, especially the cashier Elena I think thats her name, but anyways she was friendly and I was able to get such a delicious meal!!!!
Definitely not authentic mexican food,not even tex -mex food. Altogether this place has distasteful food. They used a hamburger patty and made it into a chicken fried steak. Threw some sour cream on on what were suppose to be sour cream enchiladas and added cheese instead of a sour cream sauce. Hot sauce is just tomato paste with a hint of pepper. Horrible!! Service is ok but not if you are thirsty as they forgot about refills. First lady that took us to our table rushed us in ordering our drinks. They were very empty so dont know why the rush. You are better off going somewhere else.
Had to heat it up at the gas station microwave. They serve cold food. Good burritos though.
Quick random sit in Mexican restaurant. If this place looks familiar, the food will taste familiar. Good stop on the freeway.
It was a really good dining experience!The food and service was great!
Friendly staff and great food! Sour Cream Chicken Enchiladas are my fav!
This is a very nice place Oscars very good food very nice people working there love to go eat Mexican food there
The amigos plate has one enchilada, one taco and one beef tostada with rice and beans. It was delicious! Excellent customer service!
Food is always good and the service is excellent
Came in for lunch on Sunday at 11:30am. I ordered the queso, which was basically nacho cheese sauce. Then ordered fajitas for one and they came out room temperature. Was not a great experience.
Authentic and good value. Dinner and beer for $12. Eat local, not chains. Trust the arrows pointing the way, it’s behind the 2 gas stations. Walk here from any of the local budget hotels.
Street Tacos were Awesome. Dip was good Atwell. Waitress was Amazing
Excellent Mexican food at reasonable prices. The staff is polite and service is speedy. Oscars is highly underrated and overshadowed by the larger Mexican restaurant in Abilene which makes this an exceptional value.
The food was very good and the staff great. The price is very reasonable
They have the best food and service Ive seen in a restaurant in a very long time. If you have never ate there I suggest you go and try it. They even server alcohol.
Very good. Great atmosphere. Service is always good. Quick delivery from order till food is on table. Frequent customer, repeat customer for over 3 years.
A little busy tonight but waiter made up for it. Salsa was good and sour cream enchiladas were very good. Went for menudo but didnt have any.
First time here sat dec 2. Have stayed at whitten inn before, but never have walked around to see if theyre open. Hard to tell if open from side of motel. But the breakfast food was very good. Ate here 3 times over the weekend. If you leave here hungry, its your own fault. Generous portions to say the least
Waiter was nice. Place is clean, but food tastes bland. No flavor in it, does not have the Mexican flavors. It doesn’t have authentic Mexican food nor flavors
The burgers were dry and not very good. The Mexican good it ok
Everything was fresh and quick. Salsa was excellent. Enchiladas were some of the best I have ever had. Waitress was very friendly and attentive. 👍👍
Great Mexican food! Love their chips and salsa. Very friendly and efficient service.
Food was good. Service was sub par. It’s usually better. Hope it was an isolated incident
Not the best Ive had. Bland, not spicy enough. They do give you lots of food and our waiter was excellent.
Great food and great service. Large portions. It is tucked in behind the 7-11 and the Whitten Inn University just north of the I-20. But well worth the effort to get to it.
Most American Mexican place Ive ever been to and Im from Washington state where most of them are REALLY Americanized... then my husband and I both got sick after eating there! Horrible atmosphere too!
Ordered fajitias for 2 today and received enough onions and bell peppers for 3 but not enough chicken for one person. And I really like onions and bell peppers. Never again!
Absolutely disgusting. They use the frozen taquitos that you can buy in a box at any grocery store and chile rellenos taste like fish. Guacamole isnt fresh, costs 3 dollars for a few dips and its just squeezed out of some package.
OMG. Best sour cream enchiladas in town. Love the drive through window. Nicest people. My new favorite place. Wish theee was one on the south side.
Had the street Tacos. Beef and chicken. Was wonderful. Great service.
Great, privately owned local restaurant. Salsa was on point. Stacked enchiladas could have used more sauce.
Im not gonna be to hard on em because it was good.....Im spoiled, I travel all over Texas and have had great Mexican food. Over all just didnt have the flavor.
Great service...and food is really great....try the number 40...whooooo..and the Huevos rancheros ..man !!!!
Awesome staff... I hardly ever eat all the food on my plate..but this time I did.... Great job yall 👏
The waitress was very pleasant and funny. Had a great experience. The hot sauce was awesome!!!
Food is always good! We have been going there for about 5 years and how one waitress that always waits on us and she always knows what we want to drink.
Love the food here and service is always nice, plus all you can eat enchiladas on Wednesdays after 5! Cant go wrong with that.
Oscars had a nice atmosphere with authentic Mexican-style cuisine. Please do not miss out on their deliciously rich and creamy flan.
Oscars is one of our favorite Mexican food restaurants in Abilene. The food has a more authentic Mexican flavor than any of the chain restaurants.
Great service and friendly staff. The food was ok. The chicken flautas and menudo get a solid B+.
I love this place. The food is authentic, comfort food. The service is top notch.
G went to this place looking for carne con chile verde they didnt even had it on their Menu,but they made it for me n it was very good that i even went back the day after awesome,like n yes i recommend.
Service was great! On the other hand the food was not that good, and the margaritas were made with wine. Not so sure Ive ever had a wine based margarita before! Yucks
Service was good but the food was less than average. And it was cold
Food is very mediocre... Have had lots LOTS better...
Always great food and the wait staff are very friendly!
Not the best menudo but it was alright. My husband had the fajitas. Those were really good. Salsa is very good
Salsa was really good so I couldnt wait to be served my meal the waitress recommended. Needless to say my meal wasnt good. Very bland. Service was good.
Food is great but service was late. Had to wait a while for drinks and tortillas came when we were already done with our meal.
Great service, loved the food and environment. Total stranger to the location and I didnt feel that way.
Excellent place you eat. Everyone is always nice, food fresh and great flavor.
Had to walk out no customer service after 10minutes the look on customers next to me were complaining about food that did it for me laters 😈🤢
Very good food and good customer service.
Really good service and great food. I would recommend this place if you like good cooking!
Such good food, would love to buy flour tortillas and their beans by gallon
Service was great! Food was delicious and came fast. Very clean restaurant
Not that great a place. Food not worth the price or portion size. Customer service was very good.
Food was okay but not great...waitstaff was very attentive and on the spot....not super expensive but not worth the prices....I would eat here but dont expect great me,ican but you can expect great service
This is really a hidden gem! I am ashamed of myself for waiting all these years to try Oscars. It is absolutely awesome! Food was terrific!
Great service, Amazing food.Great family experience!
I give it a three because my plate wad pretty good. The Chile relleno, but the service was bad we had a older lady who waded clearly overwhelmed.

2022-07-13I love Oscar’s! I eat there any time I’m in Abilene, TX. Their Mexican food is always inexpensive and consistently good. I had the fajita beef quesadillas and they were really good. They had onions and bell peppers in them. I also got a side of rice and beans. I always love their chips and salsa. Plus, their cups are huge which means less refills. Who can’t get on board with that? I highly recommend this restaurant and feel like everyone should eat here.

2022-01-30Low key, fast service, quality Mexican fare. They currently let their liqour license expire so maybe it’s a good thing on your bill & body total?! It’s a great place to eat and be real ~~> we aren’t professional critics so this is a great place to also get over one’s self if you aren’t “wowed” by life/ bringing your own wow to life. 😬🙄🤭🤙🏻

2021-05-01I was staying at the Quality Inn next door and Oscars was highly recommended by the hotel staff. I walked on over and within minutes my server, Dasha,had me seated and served with nachos, salsa and ice water with lemon. I looked over the menu, asked a couple questions and ordered the #38 Durango Burrito Dinner (no jalapeños for me). In no time my dinner arrived nice and hot and looking good. Everything tasted fresh, quality and delicious. I ate the whole thing and enjoyed every bite. Dasha was awesome, atmosphere was a bit noisy but hey, it’s FRIDAY NIGHT and I’m glad they are busy. If I am by this part of the USA again, I will stop by Oscars! Thanks for a great dining experience.Bill from Baltimore Md.

2022-06-04If I could give a negative number I would. We ate here a few year ago and it was fantastic. It was so good that we made note of it so that when we passed this way again we would make sure to stop. BIG MISTAKE. Something has changed, drastically. Forget the lack of service, the food was disgusting. My wife had fajitas and i ordered the old persons cheese enchilada plate. My enchiladas were corn tortilla filled with ?something? and covered with fake plastic cheese sauce. The kind that you find on school lunch mac and cheese, the really bad kind. My wifes beef fajitas at first glance looked like they had been cooked the day before and then microwaved. But then the smell hit.... Something was very off with the meat. Not due to spices, but due to bad meat. We paid and left... It was not worth trying to discuss the meal as the waitresss only comment was people eat it all of the time...I was very very sad about this. We had been looking forward to going back for a meal as we had in the past.. Boy, were we wrong.

2022-07-10The best part of the entire meal was the tea, they only offer unsweetened tea. The queso was burnt looking and had no flavor. The sour cream chicken enchiladas were dry and lacked and flavor. Servers and hostess are kind, friendly and attentive but the food is absolutely horrible.

2021-03-20The food is good but it didnt leave me raving about it. So I wasnt disgusted or angry about anything, it just lacked a wow factor. The breakfast burritos are filling and are served all day. The lunch specials are a bit sparse in variety. I ordered a lunch special that had a cheese enchilada. There was no enchilada sauce on it. It was cheese filled which wasnt melted all the way and topped in a nacho type cheese. I expected red enchilada to be covering it so I was surprised and a bit let down. I appreciate them doing something different but it wouldve been better if it was an in house queso or something special like that. The kids portions are hearty. The chips and salsa is pretty good too. The salsa had a good balance of flavor and was a bit thin but still good. Friendly servers. All around good food, but nothing special as far as I can tell.
