"Don’t be fooled by the appearance of this hole-in-the-wall spot. It’s got the best tacos in town. Yeah, we said it. The smoked fish taco—wrapped in a meaty layer of gooey cheese— is THE move. The saltiness of the fish and cheese is well balanced by fresh cabbage, sweet tomatoes, and sharp red onions. And, because one taco is never enough, we also recommend the battered fish, which comes piping hot with a thin, crisp layer of batter. And for an unassuming casual spot, their ceviche is better than a cold lemonade on a hot day. Plump succulent shrimp mixed with substantial slices of white fish are drenched in a bright and refreshing citrus mix, tossed with red onions and tomatoes. Served alongside is a crunchy tortilla which is just as good on its own as it is when scooping large mouthfuls of ceviche. You won’t find any gruff faces here; despite the extremely limited (mostly sidewalk) seating, Oscar’s has got a fair few staff members, ready with a smile, a conversation, and encouragement for you to come back again soon." - Sabrina Medora
