"If you're serious about Mexican seafood, you come to Oscar's, where the creative and extremely fresh seafood tacos are the main draw. Tucked next to a smoke shop, Oscar's is pretty nondescript—except for the line out the door. Once you're inside, driftwood paneling and colorful ocean-themed murals set the casual mood. The  tacos are the main draw for most people, but you would be missing out if you didn't try the tortas (the "Fisherman's" is a symphony of spicy shrimp, scallops, grilled, and smoked fish) or the fish stew. Sadly, you won't be able to wash down your fish taco with a cold Pacifico, but Jarritos and classic Coca-Cola (in the glass bottle, of course) make a decent substitute. Remember, this is a Mexican joint, so don't forget a side of homemade pinto beans and rice." - Archana Ram

"Oscar’s is among the few true masters of the seafood taco in San Diego, but the tortas don’t lag behind. The house torta comes with spicy shrimp, smoked fish and skirt steak topped with the traditional fish taco’s fixings. With two Pacific Beach locations, chances are you won’t be too far from a location this summer." - Mario A. Cortez

If you’re in the mood for a laid-back taco experience - Oscar’s delivers just that. It’s easy out door street side dining but finding parking around the area can be challenging. The tacos themselves? They’re good. The grilled fish taco stands out as my favorite. However, some might find certain tacos a tad too salty for their palate. It’s a matter of taste, really. Service is straightforward and efficient. Don’t expect white-glove treatment, but the staff is friendly and keeps things moving, even during busy hours. It’s a solid taco experience in a relaxed setting. It’s not a culinary revelation, but it’s a reliable spot for a quick and satisfying bite. If you’re in the area and craving tacos, it’s worth a visit. Just manage your expectations, and you’ll leave content.

Read about this spot for the best Tacos in the San Diego area. The food was delicious. Very well seasoned. It’s a hole in the wall close to the beach. 🏖️ there is really no place to sit except a few benches outside and the parking was difficult. I had to drive around abt 10 minutes looking for a spot but if you love Mexican food and you are in San Diego, make sure you try this spot.

It has been several years since I went to Oscars. The food is still fantastic. I went alittle over-board on ordering food for my wife and myself but it was WORTH IT !!! :) We ordered the chips and guacamole, cerviche (which was fantasic), and several tacos (shrimp, fish and octopus). The octopus was fairly spicy and I really can't eat spicy food so we just at what we could. Oscar's is kind of a local hang-out kind of place. You order the food and take it outside to eat on the sidewalk (on some make-shift bench type tables). It all works as a dining experience. We enjoyed our tacos on a nice sunny San Diego day so it was perfect. We ordered alot of food and it came out to $67 which might be a bit much for Mexican food but it was delicious !!! :) They are closing down the Torquise street location and will have 2 other locations available.

Love this place. Went three times in the past week, favorites include Al pastor tacos, crispy fish tacos, and the surf & turf tacos! The ceviche is also very tasty as well. Amazing place!

Oscars is a local gem! Incredibly fresh and flavorful seafood. Their seafood tacos are the main attraction, but their spicy grilled shrimp salad (add grilled octopus) is also phenomenal. I’d also recommend trying the smoked fish breakfast burrito in the morning!

Food is amazing, the ceviche is top notch. It’s really really better not to eat at the restaurant. They have ZERO actual seating, with a slim standing bar. Don’t clutter up the entry and be a roadblock, you’ll be happier not being jostled and stared at.

Have been coming to this place seen college 10 years ago, and it never disappoints. They moved a couple of blocks away so no longer has inside seating and ordering can be a bit chaotic but still worth it for the ceviche, torta, and overall delicious food! Definitely a go to place when I’m hoping for Mexican food in SD!

Oscar’s is legit. Has some of the best fresh seafood tacos and these tacos are large. The battered shrimp and fish tacos are not made with beer but still crunchy and tasty, and are halal!!! Monday-Friday they have happy hour where battered fish tacos are only $1.99!!! Such a steal. The grilled octopus and shrimp are so fresh and tasty and the octopus is not overcooked nor chewy. The smoked salmon fish taco is really good. They have some benches outside to sit on if you want to enjoy your tacos fresh (and for the happy hour deal during the weekdays).
