"An upmarket taqueria offering elevated tacos and contemporary Mexican-inspired plates in an upscale, polished format." - Ruth Tobias

"This restaurant/bar is the site of an Ortega takeover pop-up on Saturday, February 8 at 3 p.m. serving tacos, Frito pie, and more; the public event is free to attend (food is not free), requires RSVP to save a spot, and will include a giveaway for two Super Bowl tickets." - Clair Lorell
"From the team that brought you excellent ceviche and churros at Señor Bear, Mister Oso serves that same style of pan-Latin food and party vibe, only with more tacos. Start with the downright perfect queso fundido, continue with lamb barbacoa and birria tacos, and finish with those excellent churros. Wash it all down with a pisco punch on Mister Oso’s magical, vine-covered patio and—for a second—the world might feel a little less like a dumpster fire." - allyson reedy, patricia kaowthumrong

"Mister Oso is a Latin American restaurant specializing in tacos with a twist — everything is served family style. Diners can enjoy tacos, like the coconut-braised mojo pork and lamb cheek barbacoa, with a selection from their expansive non-alcoholic agua fresca cocktail program." - Annie Harrigan


"It's laid-back and lively at Mister Oso, a small but stylish spot with a creative menu and clever cooking. Chef/owner Blake Edmunds has a hit on his hands, with a second location opening in recent years. While tacos may be the main event, this isn't your typical taqueria menu. Instead, discover ceviches, salads and dishes bearing Latin American and international influences. Everything is served family style. Pick up a tortilla and start building a delicious treat, as in the smoked lamb cheek tacos with pickled red onion and grilled shishito peppers that's finished with a bright and zesty avocado salsa. Coconut rice, served in a piping hot cast iron dish, bridges sweet and savory thanks to pickled shaved peppers and thin, shaved red onion." - Michelin Inspector
