Tacos … burritos … tortas … and more … Olé!
Just in time for baseball season, East Village is the newest location of Oscar’s Mexican Seafood restaurants. Located at 927 J Street, Oscar’s is open Sunday to Thursday from 8 a.m. – 9 p.m. and Friday and Saturday from 8 a.m. – 10 p.m. Enjoy their daily happy hour, from 2:30 – 5:30 p.m. for 99-cent fish tacos … all you can eat. Also enjoy their street-side patio seating and enjoy some people watching.
Let’s talk tacos. My personal favorite is their battered shrimp tacos and add avocado for free. Also try the many choices from their salsa bar. My personal favorite is their habanero green salsa.
I also suggest trying their fresh fruit waters, which they often sell out of. I tried the spinach and pineapple fruit water, which I can highly recommend. Their fresh fruit waters change frequently, so take a chance and try whichever flavor they are featuring.
A neighbor mentioned that their breakfast menu is truly worthy of trying. Especially the chorizo served with eggs, cheese, potatoes and avocado … I can’t wait to try it.
Oscar’s Mexican Seafood has locations in Pacific Beach, North Pacific Beach, Hillcrest and now in our community of East Village.

Gotta go now, I’m off to Oscar’s to try the Fisherman’s Torta …
