My daughter and I stopped at The Oasis on our way to Denver. We did not want fast food or a full on restaurant. The Oasis was perfect. We got an appetizer of fried mushrooms. Then my daughter ordered the hot hamburger sandwich which was an open faced beef burger over a soft thick slice of bread with mashed potatoes and beef gravy all over it. I got a grilled cheese and ham sandwich and they used a legit 1/2 inch slice of ham grilled to perfection together with a side order of onion rings. Everything was sooooo delicious. We got a piece of banana pie to bring home and we each have at least half of our meals left. The waitress was also incredibly nice and attentive. I wish The Oasis was a lot closer to home because we’d be going a lot more often.

This is a family owned and operated Mexican/American food restaurant that has the best food that you will find in Saguache. If you have never tried hatch green chili I highly recommend you giving it a chance and have it smothered on your burrito or burger. The restaurant is always clean and the staff is friendly. I stop here every time I am in the area.
