" We had a mixed experience at Don Oso's. While the ambiance was nice and the tacos had good flavor, the portions were smaller than expected, especially for the price. Two of us felt hungry even after we ordered several dishes. The service was friendly, but we had to wait too long for our order. I appreciate the authenticity in their cooking, but I left feeling somewhat unsatisfied. Perhaps some more variety in portion sizes could help improve this experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" Just got back from Don Oso’s and I can't stop thinking about their birria tacos! They're truly one of the best I've had outside of Mexico. The service was impeccable, and the ambiance cozy and inviting, making it perfect for families or friends. The only issue? I wish I’d tried their empanadas, as they seemed pretty popular with the other diners. I'll have to make it a point to try those next time. Overall, I highly recommend this place! " (*Curated Review*)

" I must say, I was a bit underwhelmed by my experience at Don Oso's. The tacos were flavorful, but they didn’t really stand out to me as anything extraordinary. The staff was nice and attentive, but the overall experience didn’t live up to the hype. I might give it another shot, but my first impression wasn't as great as I’d hoped. " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve eaten at a lot of Mexican restaurants, but Don Oso's really stands out for its authenticity. The blend of flavors in the quesabirria tacos was something out of this world! The staff were very welcoming and shared the story of how they prepare their dishes from family recipes. The only downside was that the atmosphere felt a little cramped during peak hours, but it did not detract significantly from the experience. Overall, I highly recommend this place! " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing all the hype, I finally made my way to Don Oso’s and it did not disappoint! The quesabirria tacos were just as amazing as people say. The meat was tender, and the cheese was ooey-gooey, just perfect! I also tried their homemade guacamole which was refreshing. The staff were very kind and quick to serve us. However, I did feel that the seating was a bit cramped, making it challenging for larger groups. Still, I left very satisfied and full. I would certainly recommend Don Oso's to anyone craving Mexican food. " (*Curated Review*)

" I love this place! The quesabirria tacos are to die for! I can honestly say these are the best tacos I've tasted in my life. I also appreciate the friendly staff and how fast the service was. My only concern is that it felt a bit cramped inside due to limited seating. Regardless, I would rate it highly for the food alone. I can't wait to bring my friends the next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" To say that Don Oso's is authentic would be an understatement. The flavors were familiar and comforting, reminiscent of my travels through Mexico. The staff made every effort to ensure we had an enjoyable meal. The carne asada tacos were mouthwatering, and the horchata was refreshing. However, the dining area was quite small, making it a bit cramped when busy. Nonetheless, I will keep coming back for the amazing flavors and warm service. " (*Curated Review*)
