      Oscar's Grill offers a wide variety of mexican food which is they're specialty and the burritos whether it's carne asada, carnitas or chicken you will be delighted with how tasteful and how much flavor each dish provides. The fish tacos are remarkable, while the quesadillas, and nachos go above and beyond. Not to mention the bakery with they're freshly baked cookies are truly exceptional. The mushroom or guacamole burgers, ruben, philly cheese steak and BBQ pulled pork sandwiches are other dishes I highly recommend. While they're salads are extremely delicious and will leave you completely satisfied.

      Thankfully the food is good here because it's the food option within a couple of miles. Great burritos and salads, super fast and friendly service. A++

      I tried this place for the first time at the recommendation of a co-worker. I ordered their grilled vegetable panini. The grilled veggies had a good flavor, but what I got was NOT a panini but rather a flat bread toasted on both sides and then stuffed with cold vegetables. Disappointing. However, their fries were good. I will probably go back and try something else, but I doubt I will order this again which is unfortunate as I really did like the flavor of the grilled veggies.

      What I was expecting to get.
      Oscar's version on a "Panini".

      This place is in a little bit of a weird location, but they have a ton of signs posted so you can't miss it. They have an amazing outdoor eating area that provides some shade. It would be a great place to go for lunch with co workers. I got Grilled chicken crispy salad and it was so good. It Came with a lot of guacamole and chicken! I didn't even need the chipotle ranch dressing but it tasted so good that I couldn't help it. I would definitely Go here again.

      Absolutely outstanding across the board. Staff are amazingly family and helpful. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. My favorite is their cheese quesadilla with their guacamole because they block them only is the best I've ever had

      After working at the business park for a few months, I finally decided to give this place a try - and I'm glad I did!

      I ordered a Crispy Taco Chicken Salad online about 20 minutes before my lunch time, and it was ready for pick up when I got out to lunch!!

      Unfortunately, no picture because I was super hungry so I'll try to describe it in detail.

      I thought the "crispy" part referred to tortilla strips you'll usually see in a taco salad, but the salad actually came in a taco shell bowl! It was filled to the brim with mixed greens, a little romaine lettuce, black beans, corn, pico de gallo, chicken, cheese, guacamole AND sour cream. Whew. Served with a generous serving of chipotle ranch dressing on the side.

      It was a pretty filling salad for around $13, and I thought it was worth it. I'll try their other menu items whenever I have a lunch fiasco :)

      The service seems to be better here now. The food is SO good, I hated giving it a low review. I'll always give them the benefit of the doubt.

      I liked it. No nonsense. Usually when they open a restaurant on the first floor of a business it means someone's cousin's brother's son's wife was able to ask for some rental space on the cheap, and they get easy money but all the rest of us get is disappointment. Not so here. I was happy. I got a California burrito and had a very happy, chill lunch eating, pouring salsa out of a little cup, out in the sun at a standing table under an outdoor umbrella, talking to a couple friends.

      Why only 4 stars? No freebie chips. And the fountains outside are still in disrepair--but that's a Penumbra thing, not on Oscar's.

      California burrito and salsa that tastes like a cross between Tapatio and Taco Bell fire sauce

      Never gets an order correct. Dont waste your money. Eat from the food truck parked out front instead. Better service and food.

      1) Don't Order Online, they don't get the order
      2) When I got there, to discover they didn't get the order 15 min before, they put 4 other orders ahead of mine.
      People arrived 5 min after me and got their food 5 min before me.
      3) No Parking, it's all full. Unless you work at this Campus, no parking. It's a campus, so the cafe is in the middle, away from parking. Have a nice walk.
      4) 5 minutes after I got her to put in the order, did the line cook begin to look at the tag. He's not looking ahead to know what's next (I used to be a line cook). So the open space on the flat top got an omelette instead of the tortilla. The rest of the food is already prepped on the line.
      5) When I got the burrito, she didn't pack any napkins To Go

      Not impressed but decent food.

      Don't waste your time.
      Food is meh.
      Wait time is ridiculous. Even if you order ahead they hardly ever have it ready ON TIME. And make sure you check your order before you leave. They have a reputation of screwing up
