Oscar’s Taco Grande

Well, I haven’t actually been to this facility but I had a breakfast burrito from here and it was absolutely amazing! Coming from California, good breakfast burritos are on every corner, but up here it’s been hard to find a place. They are a bit smaller than I’m use to but they taste wonderful. Options of ham, bacon or sausage and you can add hot sauce or leave it alone. I opted for the hot sauce. It has great flavor and is not too spicy.

Got the biggest burrito for $ 7. Great for the price. Not super filling but I would definitely go back for more. Order took 2 minutes to get. Saw plenty of construction workers get their lunch here too so that’s a good sign

Still my go-​to, favorite joint for some Mexican food. I would rather sit outside in the rain (since it has no seating), freeze my ass (since we’re in Alaska), & sip on a soda (since they don’t serve alcohol) while eating tacos & quesadillas than being caught dining at La Cabana or Tequila 61. There’s a good reason why this place has been around for almost 40 years. Burgers aren’t too shabby either. Remember to bring cash.

Had two breakfast burritos. Mainly because they are tiny compared to the burritos I am used to in California. I will say, the bacon and sausage burritos were tasty, but at $ 4 a pop, you are basically buying an $ 8 breakfast burrito that would fill you up. I will go back and try some tacos later. Three stars simply because of size disappointment… and yes, I am talking about the burritos.
By the way, the owner was way cool and super nice.

If you’re looking for fast, cheap, fantastic Mexican food, look no further. If you want to sit down and have a family dinner, keep looking because there are severe space restrictions here. This is really the only complaint. But it’s a taco stand and so hopefully most people will know that before they show up. Also, bring cash. Taco Tuesday may become a thing for me after today.

An Alaskan landmark for good reason.
Good. Cheap. Fast. Friendly. Everything a taco stand should be on a paper plate.
I eat here often for a quick lunch. You see everyone from C.E.Os to homeless buying food here. If you haven’t tried it, forego the usual Mexican chain restaurants and try taco grande.

Wow! Fast and delicious food. It isn’t fancy, but it is very flavorful, fast and ready to take out. VERY limited counter space to eat inside, but take out is the main draw. Lunch on the run is a must here.

We’ve been back several more times. The food is consistently good and still one of our favorite spots in Anchorage for a quick lunch.

We have «taco tuesday» every week in my shop. They have cheap good food, the staff is «cool» and friendly, and from time to time the owner drives his classic chevy to work. (always a plus)
Great place for a quick bite with a food truck vibe.

The greatest place in town. Not restaurant. Greatest PLACE

If you are looking for the best Mexican food in Anchorage this is the place!
The breakfast burritos (served only till 10:30) are excellent and about $ 3.00 a piece. Yes the people leaving the place with the bulging white plastic bags in their hands are taking those breakfast burritos to their coworkers. All brave souls! I hope they make it to their desk in one piece.
The lunch crowd is a real mix of people. You will see the business professional, the construction worker and the occasional tourist that stumbled onto this place all in line to get a bite to eat. The counter only has a couple of spots to eat at but if you grab it to go it will be plenty warm enough when you get back to your office. There is always a special offered. Just try one!
WARNING: Be careful when you open your food in an enclosed office setting. The swarm of people looking for where the wonderful smell is coming from might be a bit scary. I prefer to protect my food with the automatic stapler in one hand and my burrito in the other hand. This defensive posture tends to keep the on lookers away at a safe distance.
It is a bit hard to find this restaurant but when you see the vehicles parked around the small trailer in the gravel parking lot and a group of people salivating in line you know it must be the right place.

Oscar’s is really more of a food cart where you can stand inside while you wait for your food. It’s the cheapest place to eat breakfast anywhere near downtown. He offers 3 choices of breakfast tacos at the great price of 3 dollars each. Lunch is fantastic too. Cheap and very, very tasty. He’s very fast so you’ll never wait long for your food. I think that it must be close to some construction sites or something because I always see a few guys in work gear lined up getting 20 breakfast burritos in a large bags. Oh yeah, it’s a cash only joint so don’t forget to stop by an ATM if you’re like me and don’t usually carry cash. This would be a great place to stop for a tasty, cheap breakfast on your way to the train depot.
