A&w - Abilene

They serve chorizo anytime of the day. In fact they serve breakfast all day as well. Some of the best Mexican food in town, maybe the best. Great family owned restaurant. The service is always friendly. The food is Always great..

Great food with a big selection of classics and less-common dishes. Fast, friendly service. Warmly greeted by multiple staff as I walked it. Family vibe.

Ever since Mary's Mexican closed down due to Covid, I have been trying out other small Mexican restaurants around Abilene to find one that could replace Mary's. If you are follower of my restaurant reviews or a subscriber to my YouTube channel (Jungle Explorer), you know that one of my complaints about Abilene is the lack of good true authentic Mexican cuisine, or any other foreign cuisines for that matter. The Abilene culture is just not one that is very accepting to new things or spicy food in general, so it is hard for an authentic cuisine restaurant to stay in business here. This was my first visit to Oscar's and it was a pleasant visit. I was greeted by the friendly staff at the door and seated right away. I open the menu and found your standard Tex-Mex dishes that are common to all Tex-Mex restaurants. You know, Tacos, enchiladas, burritos, etc. I looked to see if they had a Molcajete dish, but they did not. I then looked for Caldo de Res, and that was also not on the menu. You know my rule, if you they don't serve Caldo de Res, they are not authentic Mexican. So, Oscar's is a Tex-Mex restaurant, and that is how I am reviewing them, not for what they are not, but for what they are. As a Tex-Mex restaurant, I would have to say that Oscar's is as good as any other in Abilene, better then some. Tex-Mex is simple food and is hard to mess up, but there are some that find a way. Oscar's is not one of them. I had the Fajita combo plate and it was delicious. My wife had the Green Chili enchiladas and they were equally as good. My son had the tamale plate and loved it. The one thing that I really liked about Oscar's was how they brought the chips and salsa out. Most Tex-Mex restaurants bring out a big basket of chips and a little bowl of salsa, which is gone after a few chips. At Oscar's they bring out a generous bottle of salsa and two bowls with the basket of chips. Oscar's is the first Tex-Mex restaurant that I did not run out of salsa before the chips were gone. In fact, there was enough salsa to finish off an additional basket of chips. Oscar's gets a gold star for this feature only. The staff was very attentive and came by frequently to make sure we were happy with our food. They staff here seems to really care about their customers and want them to be happy. If I get a hankering for Tex-Mex, I will certainly be back to Oscar's again.

Food was great, service was also good but the atmosphere was unbelievable. The cooks were singing along to the music they had playing, which was Mexican of course, out loud, like yelling it.

ALWAYS delicious! I have become a HUGE fan! Grabbed this Amigos plate yesterday and was beyond satisfied. I've yet to try anything I didn't love! AND the staff is AMAZING! So sweet You all are awesome I'll keep sending people and love your way!
