Everything was delicious. As advertised on the menu, a mixed American and Mexican menu service was fast. Food was hot. Everything was great.

We were driving from San Francisco to Yosemite ... and a combination of my wife needing to pee and it being around lunchtime landed us at The Oasis restaurant. Truthfully, drive another 17 minutes and you hit the bustling city of Modesto, but nature was calling :) It looks like an old trading post with mountains in the distance and is the only eatery on the strip. It also houses a U.S. Post Office and convenience store and one could certainly feel a bit dubious to enter for a meal. However, you'll be glad you did. Beatrice was our hostess, our waitress, our everything, and treated us as family. We went the Mexican route with my wife ordering the Asada Plate (pictured) while I had a Burrito Supreme. Both were tasty as all getup .. and because of the portion size, I even helped my wife finish hers :) I'll just say that the place is laid back and the food was delicious, and if you find yourself along Rt. 140 in Catheys Valley, you should pop in. Highly recommended!

I eat both American & Mexican, breakfast & lunch. The food is always fresh. The servers were very nice & answered questions for my friend. I ordered a chili relleno plate & asked to substitute the rice for salad. No problem at all. I love the Mexican decor combined with American. Very pleasant & extremely relaxing.

I've been coming here a lot more since my parents moved close by and I'm still obsessed. Their food is seriously consistent. Their breakfast burritos are so yummy. I get it without meat because they put bell peppers in it. It's so good and doesn't even need meat. I only wish they had tamales. Those are hard to find and they would probably be the best out of any restaurant nearby or in Mariposa.

Since moving to the Yosemite area from LA I miss good Mexican cooking but got a taste of it today at The Oasis. My husband stops in on his route and raves about the breakfast burritos. (They offer 2 sizes,) Today I visited for the first time and tried the Chile Rellenos. The generously portioned dish was great, perfectly cooked just how I like it! The owner Araceli showed me the cute little park area they're developing right next to the cafe for parties, BBQs etc. She has plans for this corner! Thanks Oasis, I look forward to returning to try more of your delicious food.

Off Highway 140 and Hornitos Rd. In Catheys Valley. A quaint little place in the foothills outside Mariposa. The service was fast and the young lady helping was very polite and attentive. I tried to buy a bottle of water and she said "we have ice water and it's really good" I jumped all over that and aside for saving a buck it was very refreshing. As I sit under shade in the outside dining area a beautiful breeze washes over me. I'm diggin the ambiance..
