Oscars Cafe

 

Oscars Cafe is a Mexican restaurant located at Springdale, just right outside of Zion National Park. Oscars Cafe offers both indoor and patio seats to its customers and it is actually quite a large restaurant. Oscars Cafe is actually rated the most popular restaurant near Zion National Park and thus there is always a line waiting outside for available seats.

After a long day at Zion National Park, we put down our stuff at the hotel and walked around on the street of Springdale looking for a place for dinner. Initially we spotted Casa de Amigos Mexican Restaurant right across the street, but we did not see anyone there. Thus we were not sure if it is open or not.

We continued down the street and saw a line waiting in front of Oscars Cafe. Oscars Cafe was not facing the Main Street. We would have missed it if it wasn't due to the line waiting outside. We figured that we were going to get take out anyway so we decided to try Oscars Cafe.

We ordered a grill chicken taco salad and a chicken Enchiladas. It took about 20 minutes to get our food and we were already really hungry. The taco salad came with many ingredients, such as corn, carrot, mushroom, olive, tomato, avocado, and also 2 pieces of garlic bread. It was full of colour. The taco salad was quite fresh, even more fresh than what we have in Oregon! We enjoyed it very much.

The Enchiladas was amazing as well. It came with beans, rice, an Enchiladas, and a big jalapeño at the top. The whole thing was drizzled with this green spicy and sour sauce but the sauce was amazing. It was the right amount of spiciness and the sour taste just neutralized it. We really loved this.

We highly recommend to give Oscars Cafe a try when visiting Zion National Park. Although there may be a line outside, the wait is usually just around 25 minutes.
