Oscar's Mexican Abilene Reviews
A fun place to go! Service was quick, friendly and attentive. The food came out hot and in a timely manner. The carne guisada is absolutely the best! Rich and flavorful! Definitely recommend trying this restaurant out!
I have only ever used the drive-through, so I'm not too sure how inside looks interms of the atmosphere, but all I can say is im hooked on their burritos, specifically the carne con Chile, I could eat 10 of them it's simply delicious. Their tortilla for the burrito is simply heavily, it's cloud like. I also had the egg and cactus breakfast burrito, and it was loaded. I bought 2 but only managed one and a half. Definitely give em a try. Staff seems friendly and accommodating you won't be disappointed.
Oscars is the best Mexican food in town. They serve breakfast all day. You can get chorizo anytime you want on anything you want. They make their own tortillas. Quesadillas are fantastic they have a huge menu if anything maybe too big. Having said that everything is fantastic and the service is great.
Ever since Mary's Mexican closed down due to Covid, I have been trying out other small Mexican restaurants around Abilene to find one that could replace Mary's. If you are follower of my restaurant reviews or a subscriber to my YouTube channel (Jungle Explorer), you know that one of my complaints about Abilene is the lack of good true authentic Mexican cuisine, or any other foreign cuisines for that matter. The Abilene culture is just not one that is very accepting to new things or spicy food in general, so it is hard for an authentic cuisine restaurant to stay in business here. This was my first visit to Oscar's and it was a pleasant visit. I was greeted by the friendly staff at the door and seated right away. I open the menu and found your standard Tex-Mex dishes that are common to all Tex-Mex restaurants. You know, Tacos, enchiladas, burritos, etc. I looked to see if they had a Molcajete dish, but they did not. I then looked for Caldo de Res, and that was also not on the menu. You know my rule, if you they don't serve Caldo de Res, they are not authentic Mexican. So, Oscar's is a Tex-Mex restaurant, and that is how I am reviewing them, not for what they are not, but for what they are. As a Tex-Mex restaurant, I would have to say that Oscar's is as good as any other in Abilene, better then some. Tex-Mex is simple food and is hard to mess up, but there are some that find a way. Oscar's is not one of them. I had the Fajita combo plate and it was delicious. My wife had the Green Chili enchiladas and they were equally as good. My son had the tamale plate and loved it. The one thing that I really liked about Oscar's was how they brought the chips and salsa out. Most Tex-Mex restaurants bring out a big basket of chips and a little bowl of salsa, which is gone after a few chips. At Oscar's they bring out a generous bottle of salsa and two bowls with the basket of chips. Oscar's is the first Tex-Mex restaurant that I did not run out of salsa before the chips were gone. In fact, there was enough salsa to finish off an additional basket of chips. Oscar's gets a gold star for this feature only. The staff was very attentive and came by frequently to make sure we were happy with our food. They staff here seems to really care about their customers and want them to be happy. If I get a hankering for Tex-Mex, I will certainly be back to Oscar's again.
Oscar's on Buffalo Gap has the best menudo in town. The tamales 🫔 still some work. The meat is mushy seems like you're eating refried beans with chile colorado and leave a strong cumin after taste.
The menudo was good. Very rich and flavorful , at a great price .The soup...(I forgot what it was called) was good...it has cabbage, potato and lots of meat that was unfortunately, too tough to chew. The hot sauce tasted like mildly flavored tomato sauce. The service was great though.
Well, I was told about this place by multiple people. I ordered something off the menu that most places usually buy frozen from a vender and then heat up. It appears this was the case here as the main dish had a very distinct freezer taste. It was honestly inedible. But, everything else that I had was actually surprisingly good. I only gave four stars because of that one dish. But, the rice and beans were honestly some of the best beans and rice I've ever had and the staff and family were super friendly and attentive. The experience and staff make this place worthwhile. If I had another chance to visit and eat other foods, I would try it again. I say give it a chance and see for yourself.
The food was fantastic and filling. The staff was very attentive and on top of keeping my drink filled and made sure that I had everything I needed. If I had any questions about something on the menu they were more then happy to give me details. The food itself was properly cooked and seasoned fairly, Not terribly greasy and the appetizer I ordered the queso fundido was a new experience that I enjoyed thoroughly.
Good solid tex mex. Came out fast hot and tasty. Salsa has a good kick. Taco was crispy and not the slightest bet soggy. The beef enchilada with green sauce was amazing. The burrito was full of beef and beans and really was filling. The only down side was the queso it was pretty bland but adding a liberal dose of salsa helped give it some flavor.
The food was amazing and I loved the look but the service was really slow. They were so nice and amazing people but the service was way too slow and they didnt serve us until we asked for someone to come and serve us
Went to the new Oscar's on Buffalo Gap Rd. Not impressed. Service was excellent and very attentative. Atmosphere had ample seating and not too busy. Chips were stale, salsa was good. We ordered queso which was really watery with no flavor. I ordered shrimp quesadillas. Literally got 2 shrimp per slice and a very small amount of cheese. Not happy with my super teeny tiny small teaspoon serving of avocado. Hope they step it up!
They were very sweet.. and great customer service. The cheese enchilada plate though needs some authentic flavor. It was nacho cheese wasn't worth the 20 bucks.
the service was horrible i was waiting on a drink refill for a while never checked on me Found a hair in my food and the waitress blamed for it saying it was my hair disgusting never coming here again and wouldn’t recommend anyone to come here. no one wears hair nets.
Went twice here...ordered un caldito de pollo small size...waited 30 min in the drive thru...ok was good but the color was green like a chicken soup...came again today, ordered a large size from the app so I wouldn't have to wait as long, ordered to pick up an hour later...they did not have it ready and why is the color red like a menudo? The cup size is the exact same from the small I ordered before and it's not even full...wont be back...
I got a chicken chimichanga. This was about $18, didn’t come with any pico, sour cream, lettuce as they normally would. The beans were dry and hard and I couldn’t even eat the chimichanga as I cut into it and all of the meat was pink. Wasn’t going to risk getting sick. Overall disappointing
Ordered nachos and they were so gross 🤮 tasted like canned cheese and beans. Asked for extra cheese and nothing. Asked for a bag of chips and was given a small ziplock bag of maybe less than a handful. The lemonade did not taste fresh, it was so gross and tasted like powder. Never again. Not Mexican food.
