Went for Happy Hour - it was delicious. Pricey (but what isn't these days). On the happy hour menu we ordered the Gordo crunch -( wife loved it, I did not) Death Bear Nachos were excellent (we ordered no chorizo) the queso is spectacular! Also ordered drinks - margarita, Paloma were good, also ordered the chili chili bang bang which was just ok. Cauliflower wings were fried perfectly. And the sauce/dip that comes with it - I want to smother it on everything and actually ate some of it with the pork tacos - the mojo pork tacos which were superb. The chicken tacos - not the tinga- were ok but not my favorite but I think this is just personal preference. The place itself and the service was great. Will definitely be back. read more

After some research, I discovered that an extra 20% is charged. Why? Purpose: The 20% fee is used to "fairly compensate every team member" and support an "equitable pay model," rather than going entirely to the server as a traditional tip. It is not a gratuity: The restaurant states that this fee is not a tip or gratuity. This seems like a scam, no one should be doing this. And, it's not even a choice? Nope, I won't be going. read more

Our server was AWESOME! As for the food...I really wanted to like it but felt that it was just okay. Nothing really blew me away except the churros. If this was closer to my house I'd come back for just the churros. read more

Amazing taco spot near Denver and Wash Park! Great gluten free options. The drinks are delicious! The atmosphere is lovely and fun! The service was excellent & easy to communicate with about my questions. All around a great spot for food and drinks! read more

Great portions at great prices. The smoked potatoes was a meal for two on its own and I liked the breakfast tostada for even less. And the included %20 is awesome. I wish that more places did that. read more

Wow! I'm a big fan of Mister Oso - Wash Park! First, the place is so cute and fun with the colors and unique wall paper. I also really enjoy the spacious feel and the ability to make a reservation. But most importantly, the food is really good! We ordered a lot of different foods but the Carne Asada Tacos are in point! One of my top restaurants in Denver to go to! read more

Mister Oso in Wash Park is a great place to stop in for a bite or a beverage. We sat at the bar for a couple of drinks during their progressive happy hour (the earlier you go, the bigger the discount), which has amazing specials and runs from 3-6pm daily. Happy hour includes both small bites and drinks. Bartending staff are friendly and make great drinks. I had their cold brew Martini with espresso vodka, Tromba Cafeto, vanilla, and cold brew. It was delicious! With colorful tropical and floral decor, Mister Oso will transport you away to a little fiesta or siesta, depending on your mood. read more

Went here for restaurant week and Valentine's Day because they had openings (no surprise). The food is usually pretty good here and the drinks are just the same. Service here the last time was alright but my cup seems to sit empty every time I'm in here. Love to atmosphere in here but there's always something off, I've never had a seamless experience here. read more

Mister Oso is always a good idea! We came at 2pm and was a little bummed to see they were only serving brunch because we love their lunch. We decided to go with it and it was sooooo good! This is your sign to try their brunch. Service was great, sat at the patio (in January 2026!!), and the vibes and food were great. read more

This location of Mister Oso is actually in the Speer neighborhood (east of Lincoln, south of Speer Blvd, west of Downing and north of Alameda). I have walked by several times during my morning and afternoon walks. Nice colorful decor with range of seating options. I came for Happy Hour just after they opened at 3pm. I sat at the bar and was served by Shannon. I learned she normally works in Boulder and is here two days a week to get more hours. I ordered the house margarita for only $5. It was ok. I got the Death Bear Nachos with chorizo rojo ($12 + $4 for chorizo). Shannon accurately described the dish. The tortilla chips were thicker and toasted. Not overloaded with cheese or crema. The chorizo rojo added flavor. My 2nd drink was the Tamarindo Margarita with less salt on the rim. Much better beverage for $15. A nice snack with drinks. They add a 20% service charge so both servers and kitchen are compensated fairly. They have a east facing patio that I saw people dining last summer. read more

Host could not have been sweeter, super welcoming and started the night off right. Our server was very different, super short and rushed us from the second we sat down for our reservation. Drinks were not strong but tasted okay, we ordered guacamole which was different but good, bad chips though. The second the guacamole dropped we asked to order again, pictured are the Al pastor which were a disappointment sadly. Fatty and unflavored which was so sad! The Birria were a hit. We then ordered another drink to then be brought the check, we were still eating. Our server Micheal came back with the receipt saying nothing then snatched our signed copy without a word while we were still eating. We had a later reservation but the restaurant was over half full. Super disappointed in this location and our service, would not recommend sadly. read more

Was in town for a short time and really enjoyed our dinner here - awesome food and vibe! I started with their tropical aqua fresca and it was super refreshing. We shared the guac & chips (great!), heirloom tomato salad (highly recommend) and the elote ribs - a must have. I also got the calabacitas taco and loved it. read more

The restaurant is so cute with such a fun vibe. Service was excellent, our waitress was attentive and super helpful. We started with queso and guacamole, both of which were amazing. The tacos are served family-style, which I loved because it let me try a little bit of everything. The mojo tacos were incredible and I'll definitely be coming back just for those! The margaritas were also really good and we will be back in the near future! read more

Great dinner with my daughter at Mister Oso tonight. We shared the hard tacos, guacamole and the Pollo Bronco they were all delicious! Everything is made fresh there and you can taste the difference! Our server was great, very personal and upbeat! We wash had a Cadillac Margarita, I think they could have been a little heavier with the alcohol especially for the price. We sat outside near a heater, I think I'd sit inside next time, for comfort and ambience. read more

Nic was the best server! The food was great, had the birria tacos but the service was even better

Huge fan of Senor Bear and a friend lives across the street from the wash park Mr Oso so I figured I'd check it out for brunch before a pool day. We made a reservation for Saturday at 10am though I don't think it was necessary as we were some of the only people there. Our server was great, very attentive and helpful with what to order, and kept the bottomless flowing. Really enjoyed my mojo tacos. Overall I'd definitely go back! read more

Dillon was our server and he was excellent. The food was delicious as were the margs. Fun place to go!

Date night here was fantastic! Relaxed atmosphere, urban setting, simple menu. Food was unique and outstanding. Flavors worked well together. Drinks were smooth, not overly sweet and strong. All menu items are intended to share which worked really well. We got the guac, nachos and lamb barbacoa tacos. As well as, the house margarita, Paloma and mango passionfruit margarita. Service was also attentive, not overwhelming and quick! read more

Took my fiancé for an early dinner and some cocktails. Our server, Jeff, was attentive, friendly, and gave us some great advice regarding the menu. The food and cocktails were excellent! The frozen drinks we both tried were a particularly welcome addition. I appreciate that the restaurant takes a creative approach to mexican food, unafraid to experiment with fusion styles, but also providing a few selections that will satisfy the Mexican food "purists." I recommend the coconut rice and tuna aguachile. We sat indoors, which was nice, but will definitely be trying the patio next time we visit. read more

I always forget about this place but every time I go I'm so impressed. We went during happy hour and got the nachos + Gordita crunch then we split the birria tacos and brussel sprouts salad which were fire! Salad is huge and good to share, though I do wish you could mix and match tacos. Margs are amazing and it as such a vibe in there for cinco de mayo, the had a DJ for a Monday night! read more

Mister Oso - Short Rib Birria Tacos and Brussel Sprouts Salad - Latin American Near Me - Denver, Colorado

The birria tacos were actually tender and the consome was very flavorful! We've tried many birria places in Denver and this place ranks up! The tuna agua chile was quite fishy, but the churros were great. We also got cotija cheese ice cream, we thought it would be similar to cheesecake ice cream but it was very salty and very rich. Overall, the food was okay and the service was very slow on a slow night. We wouldn't go back on our own accord, but would go if someone else already planned to go here. read more

*CELIAC / GLUTEN FREE REVIEW knowledgeable staff and able to make substitutions (corn tortillas) as needed to make GF. There is a shared fryer, so beware of that - staff can tell you everything that is fried. There is a possibility for CC with the tortillas - but they said they can take care of allergies in the kitchen. I came for happy hour and got the frozen blueberry froze and tried my friends frozen strawberry margarita, both were good! However, in my opinion, the birria tacos were a little disappointing. My friend loved hers so maybe it was just me :/ really cool atmosphere, but overall I didn't love it. read more

The food was tasty and I enjoyed my lamb barbacoa tacos. This dish felt unique with the lamb cheek and shishito peppers. My pear-ginger drink was good but didn't blow me away or anything. The churros, on the other hand, did. They were thin and crispy on the outside but crumbled easily in my mouth and were delicate and soft too! I didn't really care for the dip, but the churros were really tasty on their own! We made a reservation and got a table for 5 pretty easily on a week night. The place was a little loud for conversation, but we made do! That being said, I found the prices to be a little expensive for the amount of food you received. You also assembled the tacos yourself. Overall, I had a good experience and would visit this location again, mostly likely for a special get together with friends! read more

Came in earlier this week and this place is genuinely terrible. The food is flavorless and dull. Our server a girl whose name I can't remember was dismissive and could not care less about our party but was seen socializing perfectly fine with the other staff and her other customers. On top of that, a mandatory 20% service charge for terrible food and a server who could not care less. Super unfortunate, I wanted to enjoy it. read more

Delicious food and drinks. I absolutely loved the green margarita and the al pastor. Ambiance is cute and not too loud or crowded, definitely lends itself to a nice date night or catch up with friends. Service was just alright, but we did have some complicated orders. read more

The ceviche had good flavor and had a good kick of spice but it was too runny. It was just straight liquid. We got the short rib birria (2 tacos) which was super tasty. just tiny portion with big price tag. read more

Good place for Mexican food! Came with a large group of like 10+ without a reservation and they were able to accommodate us, which was amazing. We ended up ordering a bunch of tacos, appetizers, and drinks to share, and they all came out very fast. Tacos come with tortillas on the side so people can assemble whatever they want inside the taco. The coconut rice appetizer should not be slept on since that ended up being everyone's favorite. It was so good we ended up ordering another one! The place itself is very cute, lots of loud colors, which made the place feel very fun and vibey. read more

We've been wanting to try mister oso for a while, but the main location on larimer is always packed! This second location is more spacious, has a bunch of outdoor seating as well for warmer weather. Dropped in for happy hour, got the death bear nachos while we're good and very cheesy (bring your lactaid). Tacos- had birria which was very hearty/meaty, and the mojo (coconut braised pork shoulder with fried plantains (thought this would be sweet but was actually a nice balance and coconut was very subtle in flavor). We'd come back and probably order a smaller portion (we couldn't quite finish the two taco orders with the HH nachos). But very delicious and worth a try! read more

Five of us went out to dinner at Mr. Oso a few weeks ago. The service was sluggish to say the least and the portions were on the skimpy side. But what really irked me - and continues to irk me to the point where I won't return - is the fact that they charge a flat 20% for the "back of the house" workers plus there is confusing and intentionally vague wording on the menu implying that you are expected to tip EXTRA on top of their 20% fee to compensate your wait staff or "front of the house". We ended up tipping 40% by the time we paid their ridiculous built-in fee for the back of the house plus tipped our server (who did not deserve that much, to be honest). Shame on us but the way they worded the 20% fee notice implied that the front of the house wasn't included. The food took well over an hour to arrive so that built in tip certainly wasn't justified and the waitress was super unengaged as well. Prices were high, portions were small, quality was mediocre and please....just pay your people and don't expect your guests to tip your cooks. All in all, I will never return. read more

Trendy and super fun place! I went to the Wash Park location and the decor is insanely nice. It is well thought out, inviting and fun to experience. The service was good. We had a reservation but had to wait a little to be seated. No big deal there. As per the food, delicious! The margaritas were tasty without being overly sweet. The queso and the Brussel sprouts salad were so good! Def one of my favorite quesos in town. The bbq empanada tasted more like a calzone but delicious nonetheless. We tried the ceviche which tasted fresh and had tons of flavor. For tacos, we got the birria, lamb and beef. All tender, juicy and full of flavor! The tortillas tasted homemade as well! The only negative was the churros which were overdone but otherwise, great experience! read more

Food 4.5/5 From presentation, texture, to clean ingredients, I loved refreshing horchata with cold brew and guacamole. I took .5 out becuause of tres leches French toast. I think it would be best to try when you have the sweet tooth. Tres leches usually reminds me of moist/milk dripping texture but this version was thick, crispy, sticky, and suppppper sweet. Service 5+/5 Super friendly. Informative. Attentive ! Everyone was welcoming vibe and chillaxing. Even for the tres leches French toast, I was told it will be pretty sweet so I knew what to expect at least more than by 80 percents (lol) Ambiance 4.5/5 Interesting vibe. Colorful, warm, fun. They got nice patio as well for warmer weather. Definitely a stop to go before or after wash park! I definitely enjoyed this Michelin bib gourmand restaurant of 2023 Denver !

Mister Oso - Mister Oso Brunch - Latin American Near Me - Denver, Colorado

This place is so cute inside if you are looking for a great Mexican restaurant with a beach vibe. Our waitress and her entire team was very kind and attentive. Loved the refills on the chips and salsa/guac. The tortillas here were delicious and I ate so many of them I almost went into a tortilla coma. If you get one thing off the menus, make it the churros. These were the best bite of my entire month. My entree was pretty okay, the chicken was a bit dry and lacked any flavor. I was enticed and let down by the coconut rice which could've been either more sweet or more savory, but ended up just tasting of coconut milk. This meant more room for chips and salsa, which I wasn't upset about. read more

Tasty food. Nice location a bit on the higher end price wise but in line with the neighborhood gringo demographic.

Mister Oso has been on my list of restaurants to try and we finally made it there! It did not disappoint. All of the food was outstanding. We went with some friends and started with a pitcher of the strawberry margaritas and then got the chips and guac, chicken empanadas, llapingachos, tuna crudo ceviche, and the coconut rice to start. We got the coconut rice solely because it was Michelin rated but honestly we all agreed it was our least favorite of the shareables. The guac honestly was top notch- it had amazing flavor with the sesame and pistachio, and then the chicken empanadas were my other fav. Soooo good! Then we got the pollo bronco, mojo, and pork carnitas tacos. My fav was the mojo but my husband's was the pork carnitas. My one complaint is the taco portions were kinda small. The service also got really slow as the night progressed, but otherwise we had an amazing experience and would definitely recommend! read more

Great spot for happy hour and delicious tacos! It's not the most authentic food, but it's tasty all the same. The mojo tacos are my favorite--soft succulent carnitas served alongside perfectly crispy plantains. Their guacamole has pumpkin seeds inside it and is nice and flavorful. The highlight of my most recent visit was definitely the elote corn ribs and the cotija ice cream along with some churros. The cotija ice cream has the taste of a salty cheesecake. The service has always been friendly. During the warmer months, they have an outdoor patio, and it can get busy, so I recommend you reserve a table. The interior also has a nice, trendy ambiance. They have their own parking lot next to the restaurant and plenty of street parking, but like I said, it can get busy very quickly particularly on the weekends. read more
