Oscar's Taco Shop — Restaurant in Jackson

My experience at the South Jackson location was one of the worst dining experiences I’ve ever encountered in my entire life. The carne asada nor the supposedly fish tacos had any flavor whatsoever and was served on cold corn tortillas straight out of packages. The rice nor beans had any flavor. The beans seemed like they were just a refried canned bean and mixed with something to make them appear red. Literally everything was cold and flavorless. Nothing was authentic, including the salsas. The only half decent thing there was the guacamole, which was only subpar. This overpriced food ended up being thrown away as the three of us walked out in disappointment.

So 5 stars on that front. I won't say to avoid this place, but I'd recommend avoiding the steak and the fries. I'll be trying something different the next time for sure. But there will...

Having traveled all throughout Mexico, living in Jalisco for 2 years, and most recently residing in San Antonio, I can truthfully state that I've had the opportunity to sample some of the best Mexican food in the world. I was both surprised and excited to see an Oscar's Taco Shop, not only in my hometown, but south of town, which is an area that has been lacking in quality dining options for many years. I ordered the Surf & Turf burrito and was more than impressed. The steak and shrimp were cooked perfectly, bursting with flavor, and the portion size was more than filling. The self serve salsa bar offered 4 different salsa's; 2 tomato base and 2 tomatillo base. It was an enjoyable experience overall, and I will...
