I enjoyed the chips, queso and refried beans. The tacos didn't impress me, but perhaps the carnitas wasn't the best choice. I plan to try Oscar's again later this month.

The restaurant has been very busy, since announcing the closing last month, but we thought that the snow and ice left over from yesterday would keep the crowd down.

They were busy, but not overly so, but perhaps they were short of staff. 40 minutes was a long time to wait for the BBQ to come out. Everyone enjoyed their meals and it is reasonably priced. The chicken, which is smoked, then finished the fryer, was the most popular item today.

The Olathe location, operated by his son, will remain open.

Walking in, I noticed a fairly strong odor from incense and a slightly unpleasant underlying odor. I'm not sure if it was the incense or something the incense was trying to cover, but it was possible to ignore and it didn't harm the experience. The prices are reasonable at dinner, but nothing I considered a real lunch special. Most meals are $11-16 without beverage. There were three 3 pho noodle dishes under $10, but I'm not big on Vietnamese soup.

I ordered the $11.50 Ritzutto Special Stir-Fry, which is described as, "Our signature stir-fry with pan-fried bacon, garlic, and green cabbage slices. Deeply saturated in our super-secret sauce. Served with a side of steamed white rice." 

While waiting for stir fry, the chef came out from the kitchen with three complimentary crispy spring rolls, which she explained were made with her signature sauce and served with more of the sauce on the side. I enjoyed it, but would have liked a peanut sauce instead the thin, slightly sweet signature sauce.

The stir fry came out and it was a very generous serving, largely cabbage with many small pieces of bacon. My first couple of bites were rather bland, but then I dipped the fork full in the sweet, slightly spicy sauce on the plate and enjoyed it much more. I had ordered hot, rather than Thai hot and that was a good level of heat for me. I don't think that Thai hot would be more than I could eat it, but it is about getting the right amount of heat, not trying to test limits. The serve brought out a spicy rack with four spicy options for adding more flavor or heat to the meal. I surprised myself, by eating all of the stir fry. I expected to be taking a box home when the plate first came out.

When my check was brought to the table, the server also brought a 3 ounce cup of Blue Bell ice cream and a wooden spoon. It was frozen very hard and couldn't be eaten with the wooden spoon until it had time to warm. I suspect most people take it home or back to work with them before eating.

On the way out the door, the chef stopped me and handed me a handful of small Kit-Kat in unfamiliar flavors. Kit-Kat was the only words in English and I don't know what flavor most of them were. Perhaps green tea. One was peach mint.

I look forward to returning to try their pad Thai.
