Oscar's Taco Shop

Oscar's Taco Shop brings authentic So-Cal Mexican flavors to Murfreesboro, Tennessee, continuing a family legacy that began in 1967 when Javier Ruiz immigrated from Mexico with a dream of opening his own taco shop. After 16 years of hard work, he opened 'Cotijas Taco Shop' in El Cajon, California, eventually expanding to Tennessee in 2003 under the beloved Oscar's Taco Shop brand. Today, the Ruiz family operates 13 locations across Tennessee and Arizona, serving the same recipes that have been passed down through generations. At this Murfreesboro location on Memorial Boulevard, guests can indulge in signature dishes like the Big Breakfast Burrito—loaded with eggs, cheese, hashbrowns, and your choice of steak, bacon, chorizo, chicken, or sausage for under $10—alongside eight distinctive taco varieties including pollo asado, carne asada, fish, shrimp, carnitas, pastor, and birria. The crowd-favorite Carne Asada Pays homage to their Cali-Mex roots with crispy fries piled high with tender carne asada, melted cheese, guacamole, and sour cream. Open Monday through Saturday from 7:00 AM to 10:00 PM and Sunday from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM, Oscar's Taco Shop offers dine-in, takeout, and catering services. Don't miss Taco Tuesdays when you can get two tacos for just $5! With over 1,300 reviews and a 4-star rating, this local favorite delivers authentic Mexican cuisine made fresh to order every single day.
