"I visited Oscar's Very Mexican YEARS back for a breakfast burrito that I remembered being pretty good, but hadn't been back since, despite driving by its West Sacramento and Land Park locations all the time. I went in yesterday evening with excitement to try it out again, as I remembered the breakfast burrito being pretty solid! I got there around 5:30 and aside from one other person there, things were pretty slow. I noticed a menu upon entrance, which was a little hard to read. Some items were taken off, prices were put on with stickers and contradicted other pricing elsewhere, and it seemed like the menu overall was in need of an update. Another thing, the menu wasn't in eyesight of the cash register stand, so I realized I had to decide my order heading to the cashier. The way this was displayed also made it so no one working saw me come in. Just kind of an awkward set up. Once I got to the cash register, the cashier was very friendly and I ordered a supreme quesadilla (comes with carne asada, guacamole, and sour cream), a large soda, and a cream filled churro. She gave me the soda cup and I filled it with Diet Coke and headed to the salsa bar to grab some chips and salsa. There were four varieties of salsa available along with pickled jalapeños. All good here! Chips were fairly standard but I munched on chips and salsa as I waited for my quesadilla, which didn't take long. The quesadilla was generously portioned, but was a little underwhelming, otherwise. Not sure why, but there just wasn't a ton of flavor there for me. I tried the carne asada on its own and it was pretty good! So something between the cheese, sour cream, and guac was weighing it down. Maybe the rest just wasn't well seasoned? Not sure. It came out quick and again was generously portioned, but I wouldn't get this again. Nothing was wrong with it, but it just wasn't good enough to order again. I definitely felt a little disappointed here and wished I had gotten something else, but a quesadilla just sounded good at the moment. The churro, on the other hand, was great! Lots of cinnamon, filled with cream, and piping hot! Also, very inexpensive at less than $2. I'd stop by just for the churro if I were driving by and in the mood for something sweet. I asked the cashier for a box and bag to take half of my quesadilla home in, refilled my Diet Coke, and left. The cashier thanked me and was on my way. From what I remember about the breakfast burritos, it seems like breakfast is the way to go here. That said, some menu and ambience changes could go a long way here. I live close by so I'd love for Oscar's to be a spot I visited more frequently, but I'm not sold yet based off off the quesadilla alone."
