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.

" Oso is a must-visit for taco lovers! Their tacos al pastor are top-notch, bursting with flavor and perfectly cooked. I was also impressed by the passion in which the staff prepares every dish. The atmosphere is lively, but still manages to be cozy. Only downside was the wait for a table, as it can get pretty busy on weekends. Nonetheless, I’ll be coming back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" I came to Oso after hearing my friends rave about it for months. It was crowded, but the lively vibe made it enjoyable. The tacos were good, though not as exceptional as I was hoping. I really loved the elote, though! The service was friendly, albeit a bit slow due to the crowd. I’d consider coming back to try other dishes. " (*Curated Review*)

" Well, I can't say Oso lived up to my expectations. I found the atmosphere lively but a bit too loud for conversation. The tacos were okay but honestly nothing special. I had the shrimp tacos, and they fell flat - they did not blow me away as I hoped. Service was variable; some staff were great, others, not so much. I’ll think twice before returning. " (*Curated Review*)

" Oso is the kind of place you definitely want to try if you appreciate tasty Mexican food. I came here last week with friends, and we shared a variety of dishes. My personal favorite was the barbacoa tacos! They were rich, tender, and incredibly satisfying without being overly heavy. The portions were generous, and we were all full at the end of our meal. The service was prompt and friendly, which added to our overall positive experience. A must-visit for any taco lover! " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing so many good things about Oso, I finally decided to visit with friends, and it was well worth it! The place has an elegant interior that adds to the dining experience. But the food is the real highlight! We ordered a mix of dishes to share, and everything was fantastic. Especially loved the elote and tacos! Service was friendly and efficient too. Can’t wait to return and explore more of the menu! " (*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*)
