On a solo holiday and exploring San Diego area, I thought why not have some tacos. I discovered Oscar's...a small local taco shop serving up fresh options and homemade guacamole. I apparently arrived right before the rush so I did not have to wait in queue and the service was quick and friendly. There is no seating inside. You go up to the counter inside to order, wait and eat outside by the colorful wall mural. I ordered a fish taco and steak taco. Both were satisfying yet i was not wow'd by them. Need a bit more seasoning or salt...something was missing. I would certainly go back and try it again.
This place is a hole in the wall, with a small counter to eat at. However, the food was amazing. I would recommend taking some of the jalapeno salsa too if you like spicy. The fisherman's torta was worth the time it took to find parking. The fish stew came in a to go coffee cup (I ordered the small) and was really good, especially the octopus in it. I'm not going to be petty and take stars for ambiance or service, but plan on taking your food to go.
The best seafood taco spot in San Diego. Hands down. Been coming to this spot for 6 years and the taste hasn't changed. I highly recommend the taco especial. It is a heavenly combination of smoked fish, shrimp and scallop. They grill the cheese onto the tortilla and put multiple slices of fresh avocado. Be sure to get the green and red sauce in the mini fridge next to the register. Another tip, they have an Oscars combo which gives you two tacos, soup, and a drink for $14. Enjoy!
Tacos and the atmosphere here is above par. one of the best spots of its kind in the area. had a friend come into town and she asked me to take her here again. bring your hunger - portions are large. they have a lot of good reviews for a reason.
This is a small but unique Mexican restaurant. I had the fish tacos and they were the best I'd ever had. The line was long but it moved along quickly and they were friendly. I recommend trying all the various sauces as they were all delicious. Not much seating room so I took it to go. I highly recommend it!!!
