Went on a late Sunday afternoon. Got a table right away. By the time we were leaving, most tables were full. It’s not a quiet place, that’s for sure. We got the Queso Fundido and Coconut Rice to start. The queso was good but the peanut was weird. The Coconut Rice was good- very creamy. And then we got the Hard Style Tacos and the QUESABIRRIA Tacos. The Hard Style Tacos were great. The Birria tacos were just meh. They add a 20% service charge to all orders. This isn’t a tip. IMO, they should inflate the cost of everything 20% and “remove” the service charge. I probably won’t return.

Came here for lunch Sunday—the place has cute decor but overall, is a chill place. Our reservation via Open Table required a credit card on file—they charge $10/person for no-shows or cancellations less than a day in advance. We were seated right away (opted for inside table)—wasn’t too busy when we first got there but then it started to get pretty busy. Food was delicious! Started off with the Chips & Dips—we got all three sauces, I enjoyed the salsa roja and chipotle best. Tacos were AMAZING—the Birria (comes with 2) was filled with tender smoked short rib and the dipping sauce gave it an added flavor. The Mojo was very flavorful, more on the salty side but was great for our preference. They serve the two different tacos (for two different people) on the same tray, which isn’t really ideal if you want your own eating space/plate. Cocktails were great—we enjoyed the Mojito and Mango Passion Margaritas. I was a bit disappointed they didn’t have any frozen drinks at the time. Service was good too! Overall, had a great experience.

I'm a tough customer with food allergies and Mister Oso did not disappoint. Not only was the server especially kind and happy to help me figure out my choices, the food was sensational! I had the mahi tacos and the potatoes. Absolutely amazing and I can hardly wait to go back. Thank you so much for such a lovely lunch!

We enjoyed our meal on their beautiful patio. The food was delicious and service was good. The ambiance was fun! A great place for a date or just a get together with friends. They do charge 20% gratuity on all checks (just an fyi).
