Oscar's Taco House Closing After 63 Years for Odd Reason

A beloved Mexican restaurant in San Antonio will be closing its doors on June 28 after more than 60 years in business. 

Oscar's Taco House confirmed to My San Antonio that the restaurant will close next month. The restaurant, which launched in 1962, was set to close on May 15, but was granted an extension from the city to stay open for another month.

Restaurant owner Alex Pruneda revealed the odd details to My San Antonio where he confirmed the restaurant's closing due to a city project. "The city bought us. They’ve been saying it for five or 10 years now that they want to build a bridge," Pruneda said. "Our last day here will be June 28."

He admitted Oscar's Taco House has been anticipating the bridge project for years, but received word the city wanted the close the restaurant early than anticipated.

"They wanted us out by May 15, but I sent them a letter and I told them that was too soon," Pruneda said. "I got 32 employees, it'd be nice to let them know ahead of time."

After receiving an extension to stay open, Pruneda said that several employees have agreed to see the restaurant through to the end.

"The multi-phased project, titled South Zarzamora Street Overpass at Union Pacific Railroad, is a part of the City of San Antonio's 2022-2027 Bond Program. The bridge is intended to improve mobility and safety on South Zarzamora Street, according to the project website," My San Antonio said.
