Oso

Mexican Restaurant $$ 4.5 (700)


Oso is a vibrant restaurant that offers a delightful array of Mexican dishes. Many customers appreciate the authenticity of their food, especially the homemade tortillas and thoughtfully crafted tacos. However, experiences with service can be hit or miss, and while the atmosphere is consistently praised, some diners feel that the prices may be on the higher side.

" I have been a fan of Oso for several months now. The tacos are always fresh, and the staff is super friendly! I especially enjoy how they fuse traditional flavors with modern twists, such as their unique take on churros. The drink selection is also impressive - the margaritas pack a punch! I’ve taken friends here, and they love it too. It does get crowded, so be prepared to wait for a table during peak times, but it’s worth it! " (*Curated Review*)

" We recently celebrated our anniversary at Oso, and I must say, it was a fantastic experience! The ambiance was romantic with dim lighting, perfect for the occasion. We started with the guacamole and homemade tortilla chips - absolutely fresh and delicious. I had the birria tacos, which were packed with flavor, and my partner loved the seafood enchiladas. For dessert, we ordered churros, and they were divine! Service was attentive yet unobtrusive, making it an enjoyable evening overall. Highly recommended! " (*Curated Review*)

" Oso is great for group gatherings! I organized a birthday dinner here, and everyone had a blast. The menu offers a good variety of dishes, including vegetarian options. We tried the tamales and birria tacos, and both were flavorful and filling. Drinks were delicious as well, especially the margaritas. Although the service was a bit slow at times, our waiter was friendly and helpful. Overall, we all agreed that we would come back! " (*Curated Review*)

" This restaurant is a gem! I've been several times and each visit is better than the last. The birria tacos are my favorite - flavorful, rich, and just the right amount of spice! The ambiance is casual yet upscale, which is perfect for a progressive dinner with friends or a special occasion. The staff is always friendly and welcoming, making you feel right at home. Definitely recommend visiting Oso! " (*Curated Review*)

" There’s a lot of hype surrounding Oso, and I'm here to help manage your expectations. While the atmosphere is nice with decent décor, I found the food left something to be desired. The tacos, while enjoyable, weren't as authentic as I hoped. The guacamole was good but priced high for the amount served. Service was friendly, though they were busy on a Saturday night. Overall, Oso is nice, but I personally think there are better options in the area. " (*Curated Review*)

" If you’re looking for an authentic taste of Mexico, Oso might not be what you expect! Yes, it’s a chic place with decent food, but it feels like a fusion rather than pure traditional fare. The tacos I tried were okay, but the mole sauce was not what I consider real mole. It was tasty, but lacking the depth of flavor I’ve experienced in Mexico. Loved the ambiance though, and the service was decent too. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had been looking forward to dining at Oso, but my experience didn't quite live up to expectations. The nachos were underwhelming - a bit soggy and lacking flavor. I expected a high-quality meal based on the reviews, but I found the tacos to be just average - not bad, but not great either. The service was satisfactory, but our waiter seemed overwhelmed. While the atmosphere was cozy and inviting, I don't think I'll be rushing back anytime soon unless I hear they've made changes. " (*Curated Review*)
