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

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.

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.

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.

Absolutely the best tacos I’ve tried in San Diego. If you’re here order the surf and turf (recommended by them) - the combination of steak and shrimp was out of this world. You would definitely want to take another to go. Other really good ones was the mixed seafood trio taco and the baja fish taco (a little dryer than the other two, so have this with the sauces provided).

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.

Oscar's is such a San Diego staple and they have great fish tacos, and good salsa. I actually haven't gotten anything else on the menu other than the battered fish tacos, because the other tacos are $7+. The battered fish tacos are less than $4. The battered fish tacos are big and topped with lots of fresh veggies. So good! 5/5 experience.

My favorite food in the entire San Diego trip. If you are looking for taco, this won't disappoint. This is way better than the Taco Stand. The battered fish is fried perfectly, juicy fish, crispy batter but not oily at all. The special with smoked fish is a rare find and it's absolutely delicious. All the salsa is really good. Parking is terrible though.

Much better experience than last time. This time I ordered the 3 surf and turf tacos, which was just enough to fill me up. It was loaded with its of steak, shrimp, and avocado! I liked how it was cheesy too! Their sauces are unlimited and soo addicting. They have the orange one which is slightly spicier than the light green one. I'm already craving some more of this. Until next time San Diego! Service was efficient and busy!

Definitely the top fast casual seafood taco place in SD. We came on a Saturday around 6 and it was busy! Luckily we found a parking spot in the lot but it's small so you might end up with street parking. They have mostly indoor seating but some larger tables outside. We ordered the fish tacos, taco especial (smoked fish, scallop and shrimp), skirt steak taco and an atun adobado. The fish tacos and taco especial are still the best. My only knock across the board is that the corn tortilla was very dry and crusty, like they were not freshly made. Service is sooo friendly. In hearing my parents talk about the fish stew, the cashier said he'd let us try it. I thought he'd just give us a small bowl but he gave the four of us individual portions to try. It was delicious! I would definitely order that on a cold day. It had fish, potatoes and carrots.

Ima be honest and say the people were nice and friendly but the food quality wasn't that good. Price was okay I would say it's fair and not overpriced. We ordered the fish tacos (fish battered) and surf and turf (steak and shrimp). To me it did not have that much flavor or taste to it. If you add the sauces from the fridge (free) it makes it alright. But if I paid the same price and went to "the taco stand" I think that place blows it out of the water since over there they also hand press their tortillas and season the protein well. The steak was kind of dry as well... I always judge the food based on how it's served to me without me adding any sauce first. With the sauce it's alright. Food: 2.5/5 dry, unseasoned Service: 5/5 quick and friendly Price: 4/5 reasonable for the area Ambience: 4/5 some seats indoor and outdoor nothing fancy.

Oh man!!! The wait at this place is insane. Don't come here if you're hungry. I came in on a weekday afternoon non-peak time. The place was not super busy and I've been waiting for my order for more than 25 minutes now. I've been to Oscars many times before and I've never had to wait this long. Seems like service is not a priority. The girl at the register was super transactional and was not even trying to be nice. They run orders at a pace slower than a dessert tortoise. Do not come here if you appreciate your time.

Wow just wow. Usually with these high volume spots the quality isn't there, but here it was not only delicious and worth every penny but the servers were so kind here, we got a sample of the soups! They had amazing options for sauces and variety of seafood tacos. incredibly yummy fun and easy casual eats. Happy we got to try it out

The high ratings are actually very deserving. I got a variety of tacos and shared with my boyfriend. Everything was so good and tasty, I would definitely come back here again and recommend this place to anyone. I can't remember the specifics of which were my favorite but I'm sure anything you order on the menus is good. The sauces are in the front alongside with a pitcher of water with cups. It could get a bit crowded so seating can be limited. Service is nice. Parking spots are also very limited. Just be mindful of the space and enjoy the good food!

Stopped in this afternoon after seeing a TV food show episode on Oscars! So glad I did! Soooo much better than Rubios! I tried the Smoked Fish taco and the Spicy Grilled Shrimp taco. Both were delicious but the highlight was definitely the Smoked Fish taco! My new Go-to taco!! So flavorful and big with fresh avocado. The spicy shrimp taco was good but not spicy at all. Sad about that. But again topped generously with avocado! Didn't know they had a salsa bar because it's all individually packaged and in their mini fridge. I heard them telling customers after I had already finished. Heard the "pink" salsa was the best one for the fish...so next time I'll try it! $6.50 for each taco but definitely worth it! I will for sure be back! And I'm hoping they have specials for Taco Tuesday!! Haha

Decent Baja style mainstay with more than one location. Really good battered fish taco and okay battered shrimp taco. Both came dressed with cabbage ribbons, diced tomato, red onion, and cilantro. Trio of squeeze bottle sauces are available in the drink fridge for all to share. The day of my visit, only shrimp ceviche was available though we wanted to try fish ceviche. The shrimp within the ceviche weren't deveined but tasted fresh otherwise.

My favorite place for a fish taco. When we were deciding what to get, the guy behind the counter handed us some fish stew to try. It tasted so incredible and healing. I also ordered the fish taco, octopus taco, taco especial, and mixed ceviche. You cannot go wrong here. Everything tastes so fresh and good. They have house made sauces in the fridge that pair perfectly with the tacos. Parking is a little tough if you come at a peak hour, but definitely check this place out if you're craving seafood.

So so so so good!!! Is it even a complete sd trip if you didn't go to Oscar's?? Ate here 3 times this trip and they never miss!! Our faves include the taco especial, the breakfast torta with smoked fish, and battered shrimp tacos! Of course everything must be smothered in their pink/orange sauce and their white sauce!! Service was quick but sometimes it's very busy so please plan accordingly! My gooooodness the last time we came to San Diego was 2 years ago and that trip we also had Oscar's 3 times in a weekend. 10/10 would always recommend!!

Had to try THE fish taco spot in SD. Got the - battered fish taco - grilled shrimp taco - spicy shrimp taco - smoked fish taco - mixed ceviche The battered fish taco was really good and lived up to the hype!! Everything else was ok to try but wouldn't necessarily go back for it. The ceviche was a little too limey for me. Would def rec for the battered fish, others are ok to skip. The staff at this location were really nice/chill!! Even gave us some fish soup to try (during happy hour).

If you're ever in San Diego craving tacos, look no more! I am still dreaming of these tacos and it's been several months! I doused my tacos in the Salsa Huichol, which I've never had before but now wanting to buy several bottles of. My boyfriend and I both enjoyed the Battered Fish Taco, Skirt Steak Taco, Smoked Fish Taco, and Taco Especial! All of them were delicious and when we go back in December we are definitely coming to this taco joint! The service was great and workers very nice. We also chose to eat in as we were very hungry. I would describe this as a fast casual restaurant to get a quick bite.

Our Airbnb host recommended this restaurant to us. It's a small restaurant with a couple of branches in the area. They have amazing choices for seafood tacos and burritos. You can request anything to be made into a taco or a burrito. I was very hungry so I ordered a spicy shrimp burrito and grilled octopus taco. The spicy shrimp burrito was very good. Nice and crispy texture. The flavors were awesome. Very delicious! The octopus taco was 4/5. Slightly fishy to me. I had to balance it with some additional sauces. Overall worth the try.

Oscar's Mexican Tacos is one of the most recommended taco spots from my friends in San Diego and after trying it, I can understand why. Myself and two friends were able to get a nice spread of 6 tacos (including two premium tacos), beans and rice for just about $35. This also includes their complimentary fish soup with chunks of white fish and vegetables. Oscar's also has a variety of hot sauce options to spice up their delicious seafood tacos. The location that we visited was fairly small and there was a line out the door so try to order ahead or visit during non-peak hours to avoid a wait. Make sure to add Oscar's to your list of San Diego eats if you are craving fantastic seafood tacos!

Used to love this place but quality and quantity have definitely declined throughout the past few years.

First time trying this place. Pretty small inside with not a lot of tables, but there are a few more tables outside. We ordered six different tacos to share between two people. They were really good, and we were pretty full after that (went next door to Uncle Biff's to just grab a cookie). My husband's favorite was the octopus taco. I liked the battered fish and battered shrimp tacos (I'm not that exciting). It took kind of a while to get our order, but I will take that as an indicator of the freshness. Note that the parking can be really difficult. Our dinnertime entertainment was having a front row seat to watch several different cars try to park in a tiny spot right in front of the restaurant. Only one was successful, and the driver still had to climb out through the backseat.

Favorite food in SD hands down, get the fisherman's torta, taco especial, and ceviche. Came in the morning for a quick Togo, there was no line. But the order took forever to come out... The other locations bust their orders out pretty quick so I was surprised. Also the order person takes quite a long time to take your order... Still good food though!

Simple, classic, fresh seafood tacos. Corn tortillas (don't ask for flour). I recommend the octopus. Enjoy.

Could not be more surprised with oscars!! Our personal favorite for fish tacos and seafood when in the SD area. Our favorites: The ceviche (which was so fresh with octopus and shrimp) The battered fish taco (the fish was freshly fried) Both were so fresh and delicious Would skip: The shrimp and the battered shrimp taco (it had too much batter and not enough flavor) Quick service, a must try when in SD!

Delicious tacos! This gem is located in hillcrest by uncle biff cookies and five guys. Must try the shrimp & bacon, surf & turf or the fried fish tacos. Everything was delicious. Fresh veggies! Fresh well seasoned shrimp & fish. Prepared fresh when ordered. Reasonable priced. Unfortunately horrible parking.

Delicious no frills tacos place with a bit of a modern vibe. The line gets long but it makes sense after you taste the food! Tried the taco especiale and the beer battered fish taco and I preferred the beer battered fish taco. It was light, crispy and DELICIOUS!! The especiale was a bit too rich and smoky for me, but it I see why people like it. It was very filling compared to the fried fish, but I preferred the taste of the fried fish. Also tried chips and a side of rice and they were both DELICIOUS!! Such a staple taco place, will definitely be back.

After we found street parking since the complex's lot was busy and full, we opted to get the traditional fish tacos. The friendly staff gave us some complimentary fish soup which was delicious. They also pointed out their homemade salsa/sauces in the fridge for us to help ourselves. Those sauces were amazing with great crema that had a slow heat that went really well with the perfectly crisp fried fish tacos. It's decorated like a surf shop and matches the chill vibe. I can't wait to try more of their menu the next time I'm in the area.

Amazing service in this cozy little spot - offering many types of tacos and even a 4 tacos for 2.99 deal! If I had to do it again, i would NOT opt for the deal as the tacos themselves were dry and had little fried fish. A suggestion for the chefs would be to make the tortillas juicier - whether that be by making your own or using a better tortilla bc that's the real game changer. Great hot sauce selection!

A great, no-frills taco option! Ordering at the counter was extremely easy - we got there at around 7pm and it was still pretty crowded but managed to find two spare seats. We were able to get a parking spot by luck: a person was leaving one of the last spots as we were pulling in. I ordered the ceviche - and it was very good. The fish tasted very fresh and the seasoning was good (though a bit strong on the lemon flavor) without overpowering the taste of the fish itself. The portion was also very decent for the price. A friend ordered the tacos and they were very large - two is enough for a meal so you're definitely getting your money's worth from these tacos. The salsas that had in a fridge were also delicious - highly recommend getting all the salsas. They were also offering free samples of their fish stew - they were pretty solid though I found the chicken stock that they used a bit overflavoring of the fish in the stew.

Smoked fish tacos are amazing. Chipotle sauce is good too, and they let you borrow a bottle! The fish stew was also surprisingly good. I did not expect to like it but I did. They gave it to us for free! Don't bother getting the steak or pastor tacos. They're not bad but not amazing. I'd go seafood all the way. It's in the name anyway. I'm even slightly allergic to shrimp but their shrimp was very good. Service and ambiance were great. Will try to be back if I can! Would recommend as a San Diego tourist! Perhaps not authentic, pretty Americanized, but really good and worth a visit! Good portion size! I recommend the taco especial.

Love these fish tacos! It's pretty small and parking is limited but it's worth it for the tacos. They're also pretty large and 2 of them is enough to be satisfied. Great service as well! Definitely recommended to eat. There's also sauces on the side to enhance the tacos as well.

You want a great torta or have the desire to have fish oriented Mexican food, then Oscar's is the only place to go to. The fish tacos are great, but there's nothing that beats a great torta. And the torta de Oscar is the bomb.com! I mean what's better than a torta filled with both steak and shrimp, beans, lettuce, pico, frijoles, avocado and then add some of the habanero crema they have on top, don't get much better than that. Not a lot of seating, but even if you have to stand and eat, it's worth it, roll through!

Oscar's Tacos is our go to spot in San Diego for seafood tacos - specifically their octopus tacos and grilled shrimp!! The octopus has a slight chewiness upon first bite while being surprisingly soft - we've probably had it on 4 different occasions and it's never let us down!! Between the fried shrimp and grilled shrimp tacos - we recommend the grilled shrimp, it's better haha. We've also tried their meat tacos which weren't bad at all, the seafood ones just hit different! Last time we came in the morning and got some breakfast burritos which were a little bit of a let down. It was more of a big taco - tried the smoked fish & bacon one. For $8.25 each it was nothing to write home about... I guess that's what we get for getting something other than seafood at a place that's literally called "Oscars Mexican Seafood" :)

Have eaten here for years. Noticing a decisive decline in quality of product. Will swing by if convenient but It a seek out place as in the past years. Sensing attempts to over monetize their product. The seafood tacos and burritos felt like vegetarian fare. Would suggest they standardize their product offering and if they are they need to up it by one to two ounces per serving. As well, the ability get sauces is a bit painful. 2 bottles for each.

Amazing fish tacos Amazing octopus taco Friendly staff A MUST for anyone visiting San Diego. Bonus: free sample of the fish stew! Amazing

Have heard great things about this place but it was just ok. We got the battered fish tacos and surf and turf. Steak was overcooked and dry. Fish tacos were decent but there was barely any in the actual taco. Worst part is that the food took forever. It was not that busy inside and it took 30 minutes for 4 tacos.

Great service Great prices Great flavors and selection of sauces Only need 2 tacos to feel full Slightly cramped inside Pretty annoying small parking lot

Very friendly. Small-ish location with only a few tables for seating. This was our first time and we ordered * special shrimp + chorizo taco: hub's favorite! * surf and turf: yum! Next time I will ask for sauce -- it would be good with chipotle or cilantro cream * mixed ceviche: super fresh!! Really hit the spot * grilled spicy shrimp: good, but not as good as the above A lot of the tacos came with avocado : Yom! The peach Aqua Fresca was delicious Great place for a quick and tasty meal!

First time trying Oscars! These were the best seafood tacos I have ever had! I had the shrimp taco and the fish taco, which are both amazing! My friends also had the surf and turf, and seafood torta which they loved!

Small restaurant located in a plaza, about a mile from Balboa Park. Great place to grab a bite before or after visiting. Tried the Oscar special - choice of two tacos, a drink (includes Mexican agua frescas) and either soup or rice and beans. I opted for one surf and turf taco and a crispy fish tacos - both super delicious and flavorful, including the toppings and a huge assortment of in house sauces and salsa to pair them with. The Jamaica was refreshing and definitely made traditionally (not the powdered kind, real tea leaves). Lastly beans and rice - also super good. Highly recommend if you are in the area, fast service even with a long line.

I have been craving Oscar's tacos. And it definitely doesn't disappoint. I ordered: Surf and Turf Taco & Grilled Octopus Taco I forgot how big the tacos are and how fresh all the ingredients.

With all of the flooding in San Diego this week it was nice to find a reliable restaurant that stayed open. When we walked in, we were one of two parties in the place, and the server behind the counter, Max, was super friendly, and offered us a free sample of fish stew. We gladly accepted and it was delicious. I decided to try the surf and turf taco and the Carne Asada taco as well as the batter fish taco because it was on happy hour special. They were all pretty good, the ingredients are fresh, but it was a little bit dry overall, and the tacos were and so stuffed, not really the authentic taco I was looking for. Still, they were yummy, and they saved the day.

Loved the ceviche here. Great sized portion and very refreshing. I prefer the surf and turf taco over the battered fish but both are popular. There is free fish stew sample if you want it. They have hot sauces on the counter but don't forget to check the fridge next to the cash register for additional sauces. The parking lot here is small but wasn't hard finding parking on a Sunday afternoon. They have indoor and outdoor seating.

This place is amazing. For a very reasonable price, you get amazing quality food. Their beer battered fish burrito changed my life and my wife loves their breakfast burritos. They keep it simple but do it expertly

We were surprised at how delicious pulp quesadillas are. Didn't have high expectations for it. They also offered us complimentary seafood stew upon arrival. The place is casual and dirty, but the food and service were good. I think their quesadillas and tacos shine but can pass on the ceviche.

I literally think about the Torta De Oscar on a weekly basis. Four years since I tried it for the first time, it is still hands down one of my favorite all time sandwiches. The service was really friendly and they gave me some soup while I waited. The fish tacos were well executed and seasoned well.

Met up with a friend here for lunch after he suggested it. Finding parking in the tiny plaza is rough; not only are there very few spaces, but the spaces are pretty tight. I would recommend finding parking nearby and walking, because the tacos are worth the extra effort. We ordered a couple battered fish tacos and a couple skirt steak tacos between the three of us. I'll start with the steak taco as it was the lesser of the two in my opinion. The steak taco was very solid and I loved at how packed it was with ingredients. However, its nothing particularly special and I would recommend ordering it only if you are specifically craving a steak taco. On the other hand, I was told that Oscars is known for their battered fish taco and after eating one I understand why! The fish is superb, it tastes fresh and is light and airy. The house made salsa and other vegetables only further elevated the freshness of the whole taco. Oscars also provides salsa and/or chipotle sauce that you can apply to your own liking. At $3.50 a pop, the battered fish taco is a home run. The taco is a pretty decent size and is stuffed with generous portions. I ended up ordering a second round of battered fish tacos and was extremely tempted to do a third round, but exercised self-control because I had somewhere to be. It's also worth noting that the service was excellent. The people working at Oscars were friendly and helpful. They even offered us free samples of their fish soup, which I passed on but the other two people with me took and said it was delicious. The fish taco is the reason I'm giving Oscars 5 stars; that's what they're known for, so that's what I'm judging them on. I cannot emphasize enough how compelled I felt to go back for round 2, how the taco was equally delicious the second time, and how badly I wanted round 3. It takes a special taco for me to do that, and Oscars delivers. I will have to swing by again the next time I'm in San Diego!

After seeing Oscar's being recommended a couple of times on reddit, I had to try it out when I visited SD. And it did not disappoint. Got some free soup sample while I waited for my order, which was nice. Had the surf n turf, especial, and octopus tacos as recommended by the guy at the counter. All of them were delicious! Sadly I only realized the crema and pepper sauce were at the counter after I had scarfed down two tacos. If you like fish tacos, it's worth the trip!

Food (5/5 stars): Oscar's Mexican Seafood is a popular Mexican spot with multiple locations in San Diego! I loved the Surf & Turf Taco, which came with skirt steak, shrimp, avocado, and cheese. The steak was so juicy and grilled to perfection. I'm not a fan of cheese in tacos (unless it's birria), but it worked surprisingly well here. If you're looking for a lighter and crispier taco, go for the Battered Fish Taco. It's not one of my favorite taquerias, but I still recommend trying! Experience (5/5 stars): * Price: a tad pricey but worth * Wait Time: minimal on a Sunday for lunch * Service: good * Parking: there's a pretty small parking lot * Ambiance: it's a nice, simple quick service restaurant

The surf and turf taco is perfection! It's honestly quite pricey though :( Their battered fish taco was nice and crispy but I felt like it didn't have enough flavor. Happy hour is 2-5pm on Monday thru Thursday. Fish tacos are only $2 during this time. I prefer their shrimp over their fish. If they added shrimp tacos to the happy hour deal, I'd come here alllll the time!

Wow, what an awesome experience! Went in to order a few fish tacos. From the beginning to the end, the service was outstanding. I do not believe I have been to a restaurant lately, where everyone was so friendly and accommodating. They greeted me with a smile and it went on like that. They even asked if I wanted extras and reminded me of things, I didn't think of, putting stuff on the side, since I was getting the tacos to go. I had an absolute great experience and look forward to my next visit!

the battered fish and shrimp weren't really crunchy but i liked the toppings and the different sauces it came with, my favorite being the chipotle one. they forgot the ceviche i ordered but they were able to refund later. i preferred the grilled shrimp taco over the battered ones
