An absolutely soothing hip taco place that I went with a friend while in Oakland. There is plenty of outdoor seating and an overall serene moody ambience to the place, sophisticated but Bohemian and stylish. The tacos are delightful and the prices are reasonable, and they come with a satisfying mix of flavors. There is a casual rustic chicness here that strikes me (native Coloradoan currently living in Seattle) as being very distinctly California. This is one of my friend’s favorite places to eat in Oakland, and I can definitely see why. The strings of exposed lights add a fitting rustic-cool touch.

The cashier was extremely rude and openly irritated when I asked a simple question, acting as if customers were an inconvenience. The tacos were good, but the burrito was very bland and disappointing. With service like this and uneven food quality, I honestly don’t understand the hype around this place.

One of those spots that truly lives up to its reputation and star rating. Excellent brunch tacos as well (we preferred the tacos over the burrito). Definitely grab some of the habanero sauce too.

Tacos Oscar in Oakland is a delightful spot for anyone craving authentic Mexican food. The barbacoa taco was a standout, featuring tender, slow-cooked beef that was rich and flavorful, perfectly complemented by fresh cilantro and onions. The chile verde taco, with its zesty green sauce, offered a nice kick and a bright contrast to the barbacoa. Both tacos were served on warm, handmade tortillas, adding to the overall experience. The casual atmosphere and friendly service make it a great place to enjoy a quick meal. If you’re in the area, Tacos Oscar is definitely worth a visit for a taste of delicious, hearty tacos.

The chile verde pork tacos were great. Decided to try the broccoli taco upon suggestion from many people in line. It was pretty good. Definitely worth a try

I’ve visited this restaurant three times. During my first visit, the cashier’s attitude was noticeably rude and unwelcoming, which negatively affected what could have been an otherwise great experience. While the food was excellent, the interaction made it difficult to fully enjoy the visit.
My second and third visits were more neutral, but the service still felt underwhelming. This place has the potential to be one of my favorite spots—the quality of the food is genuinely outstanding. However, consistent and welcoming customer service is just as important in creating a great dining experience.
As someone who works in customer service, I understand how much atmosphere and attitude matter, especially for a restaurant that has received Michelin recognition. The product is there, but the service needs improvement. I truly hope this is something that can be addressed for future guests.

Such a cute spot with delicious, authentic tacos! We tried the charred broccoli, camote, and the puerco en chile verde—all incredibly flavorful. The dishes tasted like Mexico with a distinct Oakland twist. The decor gave major Mexico City vibes, even the taco plates were colorful. It’s a simple, chill place with thoughtful details throughout.

Best tacos, rudest cashier (consistent with some of the other reviews). This is based on eating there 11 times in 2025. Came back in 2026 and still the same rude behavior. Shout out to the woman that hands me my take out order with a big smile every single time.
