"Happy Hour is every day here from 3 to 6 p.m, with discounts on margaritas, gordos, guacamole, and more." - Missy Frederick
"Denver-based Mister Oso’s splashy new downtown New Orleans location dishes up al pastor, fried chicken, smoked shrimp, and even oyster tacos in delectably charred tortillas. The meatiest option on this menu is the quesabirria short rib, stuffed with beef and melty muenster and jack cheese, while the mojo taco — composed of fried plantains, red mojo salsa, and pickled red onion — is a great vegetarian option." - Beth D’Addono
"A Latin American restaurant led by Chef Blake Edmunds, celebrated for its coconut rice, brussels sprout salad, and Pollo Bronco. Known for its lively atmosphere and changing frozen margaritas." - Michael He
"Vines climb the wall, plants hang from the rafters, and flowers bloom on the patio of this contemporary taqueria, making for a refuge from the clamor on Larimer Street that’s all the more relaxing with a round of congelados (daily-changing frozen cocktails) and dishes like Mister Oso’s now-famous coconut rice as well as its smoked potatoes with chile crunch and crema." - Gigi Sukin, Ruth Tobias
"Just for fun, this breezy tropical escape in RiNo (with a second location in Wash Park) serves its tacos unassembled, giving diners the chance to mix, match, and mash it all up at will. That said, the combos the kitchen comes up with are hard to improve upon ingenuity-wise — be it buttermilk-brined, chicken-fried oyster mushrooms with charred jalapeño tartar sauce, dill pickle salsa, and squash slaw or smoked lamb cheeks and grilled shishitos with avocado salsa. Frozen margaritas in an ever-changing range of flavors fuel the fun." - Eater Staff, Ruth Tobias
