Oscar’s Taco Shop

My go to for Mexican food in Franklin. I used to live and San Diego and Los Angeles and Oscars is the best Baja Mexican food around that reminds me of SoCal. Fish tacos and chicken enchiladas are my favorite.

Every thing we ordered was delicious. The fish tacos are my favorite! High quality food at reasonable price.

Just like the Taco shops from my old San Diego homeland. By far my favorite place for authentic Mexicano tacos!!!

Good enough. Hot and straight off the grill. Good place to chow, but not to take a date.

We found Oscar’s on a rainy Saturday afternoon. We stopped in for a quick lunch.
The menu is extensive and everything is prepared to order. Nothing is sitting around under heat lamps.
My lovely companion had a combination plate with carnitas and carne asada. I chose one taco carne asada and one taco al pastor. All of the tacos were served on good corn tortillas with poco and guacamole.
The tacos were quite delicious. The guacamole was fresh and creamy. The pico had no heat what so ever. The sauces served on the side, tomatillo and chipotle, added some needed heat.
Service was good. Oscar’s is definitely a winner.

Lunch time surprise, small, 7 tables standing room only, no outside seating. So come early or late for a sure seat. We ordered to go but would stay if table opened. Our day. Short wait got our drinks and a table opens. The place is a revolving door for food in order out the door.
We ordered the two taco dinner comes with beans & rice. Fish tacos and Carnitas, can you say say play it again Sam? I don’t have words to describe, yum, mum, yum, ohh taco’s so good. Beans good nothing to complain about, rice was good liked the flavor. A two. Order at bar, friendly, good service. If you like tacos order one of each, Happy Meal from South of the Border!

We love to go here! Really like the food. Good price, friendly staff. Near our house. What’s not to like? No brainier easy dinner.

Coming from San Diego/​LA, this is the closest thing out here in TN!

I absolutely love this place. Being from California, I know real Mexican food and this is it! Their al pastor is incredible and it hits the spot every time. The staff is friendly and always really on top of keeping the customers happy. This is my go to Mexican restaurant and I’m so happy it’s just right down the street from my home and work.

The quality is good here. The atmosphere is a little cold, and I feel the prices are a little high for what you get. There are better options. Also wish they didn’t charge for Chips and salsa, but I guess because I am not used to that. most places do not charge $ 3 – 5 for chips and salsa.

This place was amazing! We just moved here, and this will definitely be a «regular» for our family. The customer service was excellent too!

came here from a Unilocal search, and we were thrilled. just as good as any taco in L. A. plenty of filling. had several kinds, loved the Carne Asada and the fish. didn’t like the carnitas as much, but still worth 5 Stars! looking forward to trying more off their menu.

One of my family’s favorite restaurants in Franklin! The service is always fast and good. The food is fresh and delicious. Their prices can’t be beat in Franklin. Must try: fish taco and shrimp taco. Their guacamole is great too.

Truly like anything you would get in Southern California! This place is fantastic!!! The chicken tacos are fantastic. Chips and salsa excellent. Fish tacos are always fresh. This is our go to place when we want fresh tacos.
Don’t judge it by the exterior… The place is exceptionally clean and well run. Highly recommended!!!

Good every time! I love this place! Veggie burritos, fajitas, nachos, it’s all good! They are usually pretty fast but no drive through. It would be wise to call in your order for take out and the go pick it up rather than ordering when you get there.

Fish tacos are a very close runner up to Gulf Coast! Fresh tasting carnitas taco. Can’t wait to go back…

Yes, it is a taste of SoCal in middle Tennessee. Having just moved to Franklin from LA, I was pleased to find this unpretentious taco shop. While the building is not particularly inviting, the food definitely is. Small seating area is overshadowed by big flavors. Freshly made «Mixed Burrito» filled with shredded beef, bell pepper, onions, & beans was mildly spiced. Green & red table sauces were just ok — just a hint of heat in the red. Homemade (white) cheese sauce was smooth and flavorful but a bit thin. Chicken enchilada was a nice portion of (again) mild flavors with an apparent hint of unexpected cinnamon. Prices — absolutely on the mark — very affordable. (Don’t want to use the word cheap here.) Service was congenial, friendly, and informative. Not 5 star dining by any means… but well worth the 4 stars I’m awarding.

10 stars if possible!!! We went to the Cool Springs location just based on Unilocal reviews. Coming from CA, we were DESPERATELY in search of REAL, CA-​MEXICAN food in TN and guess what… WE FOUND IT!
Brought home variety of tacos, burritos, nachos and a cheese enchilada and everything devoured!
THIS is what mexican food should taste like southerners-​not that stuff covered in that white cheese sauce!
Cannot wait to return!

Cheap, Americanized Mexican food. Fish tacos are great and the tortillas are fresh. Perfect place for quick lunch during the work week.

What you say — There’s a mexy place in the Nashville area with an original menu and their very own recipes? You must be lying, because I thought there was a law that they all share the same recipe book and do the same lame thing.
Enter Oscars. Their food is good. Looks cheap on the a la carte menu, but that’s a little deceiving. Once it all adds up, you could have gone to a good table service restaurant, including the tip.
But, then again you might not get as good of a meal.
Oscar’s is known for their fish taco’s. Excellent, just like you’d get at some of San Diego’s finest taco shops.
I’ve also had a burrito this size of a truck that was also very good and at least 3 times more food than I should have eaten — that week. So plan to share.
Chips, salsa, guac, queso are all very good.
Now that they’ve opened a Westhaven shop we tend to go there, but the original on Columbia is still a special little hole in the wall.
