" I found this place through a friend's recommendation and it truly is a hidden gem. The flavors scream authenticity! I had the carne asada tacos, and they were incredibly juicy and well-seasoned. The service was friendly, and the restaurant feels warm and inviting. The only frustrating part was that they sell out of some menu items quickly, so I had to come back for the flan that I missed out on. I definitely plan to return soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" I absolutely loved my visit to Don Oso's! This is not just another taco place; it's a hidden gem with authentic flavors that take you right back to Mexico. I tried their flautas and the birria tacos, and let me tell you, both were fantastic. The flavors were rich and the presentation was beautiful too. The service was incredible — very attentive without being intrusive. However, it was a bit crowded and we had to wait for a table. Nonetheless, the wait was totally worth it! I can't wait to explore more of their menu on my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" Let me tell you about my experience at Don Oso's! I went there with a couple of friends and we were immediately greeted by the warm, friendly staff. The ambience was cozy and had a nice local vibe. I ordered the chimichanga, which was absolutely incredible! My friends had tacos, and we all shared the horchata, which was one of the best I've ever tasted! It was a little small, but worth the price for such well-prepared food. It's an authentic Mexican experience that shouldn't be missed. We'll definitely be coming back very soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Visited Don Oso's with my family, and we were pleasantly surprised! The vibe of the restaurant felt very authentic, with Mexican decor and friendly staff. Like the reviews suggest, the tacos were very tasty, especially the carne asada. With every bite, you could taste the love they put into their cooking. The only thing that left us wanting more was the size of the portions. We are used to bigger servings at Mexican restaurants, so this threw us off a bit. Overall, a solid experience: we will be back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't believe I hadn’t visited Don Oso's sooner! This charming little restaurant has some of the best tacos I’ve ever tasted. The flavors felt very authentic, and you can definitely tell that they utilize fresh ingredients in their dishes. The staff was incredibly friendly and willing to help recommend dishes. However, when I tried their nachos, they fell a bit flat — they were a little lackluster compared to the other items we ordered. Still, I would highly recommend visiting for the tacos alone! Worth it! " (*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*)
