" Our family had a casual dinner here last weekend and really enjoyed it. While we found the menu to be diverse, some dishes like the chimichanga were slightly underwhelming in flavor. The highlight was the service—our server was attentive and made us feel welcome. Great place for a family outing; we’ll just be more selective next time about our choices! " (*Curated Review*)

" The first time I visited Don Oso's, I knew I was onto something good. The vibrant decor sets the mood for a quality dining experience. I tried their burrito and while it was tasty, it wasn't exactly what I expected. Still had a great time, and the service was spot on. " (*Curated Review*)

" This restaurant is perfect for a fun night out! The tacos are wonderful, especially the quesabirria. The live band was a great addition to the atmosphere. My only complaint was that it got a little loud at times, but that’s part of the fun! Can't wait to come back, maybe with more people next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" I'd heard good things about Don Oso's and while the tacos were tasty, I was expecting more from the burrito. The flavors didn't pop like I had hoped. The environment was great, and our server was lovely, so overall I'm glad I gave it a shot! " (*Curated Review*)

" Came here for a quick lunch with my colleagues. We ordered a bunch of tacos and were excited about the variety. Overall, the food was decent, but I felt some dishes lacked seasoning. Our server, however, was friendly and quick to help us with our questions. It was a good outing, but I expect more from a place known for authentic cuisine! " (*Curated Review*)

" Great food and great vibes! I loved the quesabirria tacos; they are truly something special. The only letdown was the wait time for drinks, which can be improved. But the friendly service made up for it! Overall, had a delightful dinner and looking forward to returning. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently hosted a casual dinner here for friends, and everyone was impressed. The service was attentive, and we enjoyed sharing a variety of tacos. Though a couple of dishes were a bit salty, overall, everyone agreed it was a good dining experience. Definitely will come again! " (*Curated Review*)
