Oscars Mexican Seafood

I thought this place was great. We started with the ceviche which was awesome. They only had shrimp so we tried that. 5/5 I ordered the skirt steak, surf and turf and smoked fish tacos. My fav was the surf and turf. All were good but the surf and turf was exceptional. The smoked fish was unique and good but not something I’d order regularly. 5/5 Atmosphere was counter service with outdoor dining 3/5

My favorite fish taco spot in San Diego. The veggie to protein ratio is balanced so 2 tacos are pretty filling. My favorite is the chipotle aioli sauce. The guacamole needed a little salt. The horchata was sweet and tasty. Overall, a hearty meal. Our 4 tacos, 2 horchatas, and chips with guac came out to $40 with tip.

We got lunch and were so happy to get the variety and flavors of all the food. We went to go and try the smoked fish tacos and came away with every item that interested us. The octopus taco was amazing! The service was slow but there were a high number of people there and we weren’t in a rush. They offer free fish soup for all patrons. It’s really hot temperature wise so be careful to not burn your tongue.

The battered fish tacos are amazing. We came for late lunch and the like was long but food came fast. It’s busy so there was no seats and we have to wait. Must try this place is you like fish and shrimp tacos.

Nothing screams San Diego more than some good fish tacos and Oscar’s is the place to get them. Everything on the menu here is delicious and cooked to perfection. There’s a lot of intense competition for good tacos in SD but you won’t be let down by this spot. The battered fried fish tacos here were super fresh and well constructed. The sauces they offer on the side paired super well with everything we ate so I would recommend trying them all as each is slightly different. However the underdog star of the meal was the smoked fish breakfast burrito. I’ve had breakfast burritos and smoked fish before but never in a combo like this and the flavors here were incredible. If you only try one item make it this. Staff at this location is very friendly and plenty of parking was available. Can’t wait to come back.

Oscars is a cute, no frills, taqueria specializing in seafood tacos. The menu was relatively simple, with not too many options, but enough for most palates. You walk up to the register and place your order. When ready, they announce your number and you pick up your food from the counter. The person that took our order was not personable or particularly friendly. He was very matter of fact, making the service average (neither good nor bad). We had the fish and shrimp tacos. The fish and shrimp were fried. The cilantro and onions were plentiful and fresh. The tacos were solid. They definitely would have benefited from a lime wedge, and I highly recommend using the sauces on the table for additional flavor. The chips and guacamole were made fresh. The chips were excellent! The guacamole would have been delicious with an addition of a bit of salt. Personally, I would have preferred a non-fried fish and shrimp option, but that was not available. Overall, the food was tasty and would recommend. Know, it’s not the “best ever”, but it’s really good.

Food = phenomenal. They are authentic for ceviche and not overpriced. They are actually VERY reasonably priced for the amount and quality of the food. When I found out this was an expansion of the PB location, I couldn't believe it. Sometimes a hard place to find a spot to sit and is loud hence lower rating on atmosphere. Service is fine but mostly self serve. They give out free samples which is nice. Definitely one of the better options for lunch or dinner to go to and have a wonderful meal for a reasonable price that is authentic.

Pricey tacos - octopus was good but I did not like my fish. They charged a dollar more for flour, but it made the taco double in size so was grateful for that.
