Fantastic homemade Mexican food. It's a little hole in the wall, but so worth it if you can find it. The restaurant itself is like the inside of a house kitchen, but don't be turned away by the size. The most delicious salsa I've ever had. The chicken bean burrito was superb! We'll definitely come back next time we're in... More

If a restaurant can be judged on enchiladas alone, this place is off the charts. Lol but seriously, this is an excellent place to eat. Its a little small and can be crowded at certain times but its well worth it. Actually, the small size of this local family owned restaurant gives it a warm feel. The owner and wait... More

The Oasis was recommended by a couple of different people, including Bob, the innkeeper at Roadrunner Inn. Absolutely fabulous food! Take the red line trolley to the second downtown shopping stop (#82, I think) and you will see a small sign pointing downstairs just a couple doors beyond the trolley stop. Fabulous!

Hidden in a stairwell makes the Oasis hard to find. We read all the reviews and was going to try it Labor Day weekend 2012 but they had closed already. We got to try it this year and it was great! Don't let the look of the place scare you away, just eat! Cash only so be prepared. The salsa... More

So we walked into this little place & almost turned right back around...but hungry bellies & 3 kids made us say, "oh heck, why not"? So glad we did!!! It's a trip of a place, you almost feel like you've been transported to Haight Ashbury - San Fran, circa 1960. But man can these folks cook! Everything is FRESH and... More

So I'm not huge into dives (which this place definitely is...), but maybe this place has changed my mind. They have limited hours, but this was seriously the BEST vegetarian mexican I've ever had. Portobello/Spinach Chipotle Enchilada... amazing. I can't believe THAT food came from that kitchen. Seriously - go if you can!

My favorite all time restaurant! I have come here once a year for at least 15 years. I hope they never go out of business! I want to keep coming until I can't any more! Fantastic Ark-Mex. Always a little different than other places but it is awesome! Highly recommend.

A must when you are down town Eureka Springs AR and want TEX-MEX Breakfast, Brunch or Lunch. Open from 10:00 AM-2:00 PM and serving the best Mexican chow in West Arkansas. Don't let the obscure location or rustic setting sway your judgement, this is the spot.

The Oasis is tucked between two buildings between Spring and Center Streets. I'd give you directions, but your best bet is to just ask a local ow to find it. If there is one place in town that locals would like to keep 'their own little secret'...it's The Oasis. It won't win any awards for ambiance, but the quality and... More
