      !! Cash only!!

      Delicious ice cream with unique flavors! The ice cream was light, flavorful, and not too sweet. More on the icy side than the creamy side as Mexican ice cream tends to be (compared to American).

      I got two scoops for $6. Guava has strong flavor. It was much sweeter than the rice pudding which I preferred. Rice pudding even had flakes on cinnamon in it.

      On a Sunday afternoon, no line but there were other customers. The singular person working behind the counter was very friendly and gave us samples to try.

      There are two small tables outside, none inside.

      It was Labor Day, so we were looking for something to do. We drove to Imperial beach and then wanted something refreshing afterwards. The first couple of stops wasn't something that I wanted to try, but then we found this ice cream parlor.

      Luckily, I had enough cash, since they don't accept credit cards. I chose the Ferrero in a sugar cone and my hubby got the tamarindo and strawberry flavors in a cup. The ice cream was so yummy! Would definitely recommend coming here if you're in the area. I like that they have fruit bar, sundaes, a banana dip bar as well.

      Rarely do you find an ice cream shop that actually makes their own ice cream and it's great. This is that one. Flavors are amazing, texture is excellent and they have a wide variety. 35+ years in business and there's a good reason! I highly encourage you to try Oasis if you love ice cream. Cash only!

      I've been coming here since I was a little girl. I'm 26 now. My mom and uncles used to come here when they were kids, in the 80's. I think they opened in 77/78. I bring everyone here when they first hit San Diego lol.

      Since then, the quality is still amazing. They're consistent always with the products they offer. They've expanded their menu like crazy over the years. & The best part, it's homemade ice cream. No preservatives or anything, and if you ask, they'll tell you what they used. The owners/family of the owners are actually very genuine people. I've only ever seen them "rude" to those who came in snarky to begin with, and even then, it wasn't rude - they were just putting their foot down.


      They went up in price. I remember being able to get a bar for maybe $1.25, and I think they're $4 now. However, that's literally every business experiencing inflation and economy right now.
      They're one of the only ice cream shops that wait til the very last second to raise their prices, which means they care about customer satisfaction.
      I genuinely hope, when I have kids, they're still in business, cause I want everyone to be able to experience oasis lol.

      Great flavors, great staff. The vibe of this place is fantastic - they have different types of flavors you can't typically get at a regular ice cream place. Highly recommend!

      Damn $4.00 for an ice cream paleta now? Crazy. Their ice cream is good but not that good. Also saw the sign on the way in for shakes $9 plus tax. Lmao! I can buy a meal for that. Ridiculous.
