Everything was excellent. Traveling through town on business and randomly stopped in to a very nice surprise. I travel a lot for work every week and very rarely do I find a place that's above average. Osorio's definitely is! Meal, ambience, and drinks along with service were top-notch. I highly recommend this place. read more

Osorio's Latin Fusion - Latin American Near Me - Appleton, Wisconsin

Server was genuine and friendly. "Mocktails" were soda and fruit juice- flat and sugary, not tasty. The fresh guac was solid. The coconut shrimp, covered in chimichuri and mango salsa had absolutely no flavor except for the oil they were fried in. The ahi tuna appetizer was rubbery and very fishy. Overall inedible. We paid, left, and went somewhere else for dinner. Yuck. read more

We went on a Saturday and it was not busy at all, off time. It was our first time to the restaurant although they catered a friend's wedding over a decade ago. It was very nice inside, well decorated with perfect lighting. Our server was very friendly and outgoing, a pleasure to deal with. The food was delicious, served at just the right temperature. We enjoyed our conversation and the waiter's comments and check-ins. Great place! read more

Unique Latin based menu. Good variety of meal selections. My wife and I I both had a burrito bowl. Very good. Meals are reasonably priced.

Love the variety of menu choices. Foods are okay but not as good as authentic Mexican dishes. read more

Osorio's Latin Fusion - Lunch menu - Latin American Near Me - Appleton, Wisconsin

Happy hour drink specials were great. The street taco trio was okay but definitely needed some improvement. The carnitas was bland and dry. The ground beef was greasy and bland. Rice and beans were plentiful. Guacamole as a starter was good with plenty of chips. Have had food there in the past and it was much better. read more

Stopped in on a Friday afternoon, a few tables inside and outside were occupied but not terribly busy. We started with the monthly special appetizer of zucchini fries which were fried well and came with a zippy chipotle ranch dip. I opted for a bowl of the tortilla soup and the lunch menu Mexican Caesar salad with grilled chicken. I ended up only getting a cup of soup (and thankfully charged for such) and the "served with table side flair" translates to pouring the broth into the bowl from a stainless steel coffee creamer pot. Though I do appreciate it kept the tortilla strips crispy it's not what I'd consider "flair" The salad, I really didn't know what to expect from a poblano Caesar dressing but it definitely wasn't anywhere near what i imagined. It first came out barely dressed, felt like it was tossed in oil and cotija cheese. I asked for more dressing and the waiter tells me "it's a Caesar so it's tossed in it" I told him I was aware but there's barely any dressing. He took it back and it definitely had more flavor but still nowhere close to resembling a Caesar nor did I taste poblano. Though the greens were crisp and the chicken had a good sear on it but was still tender and flavorful. My cousin got the inside out burrito which ended up being 70% rice inside and a scant bit of beans, lettuce and pico inside. On top, minimal sauce and a scattering of meats which again, props on the cook on the meat. Service was slow despite plenty of staff and minimal diners. Only one table seated after us and the majority of those already there when we arrived left before we got our food. All in all, not bad but not worth repeating. read more

What a great surprise. Many many years driving past this one and we finally stopped here. Good wine selection. Ok nice start. Wonderful apps. Guac=yum! Shrimp stuffed poblano, um yes please. So good! Pollo parado- you must try! So delicious although next time I will definitely say, half the cheese please. It was overloaded. Hubby had the mahi tacos and they were super fresh. Lots of food for two people so if you get apps on date night, you could share an entree for sure. Esp if you get 2 apps.... Always chips and salsa. Service was wonderful and very friendly. It's a loud spot but we expected that. I'm sure you could request a more quiet table. 4 stars. Just too much cheese but the flavor was wonderful. We will return. read more

Took about 40 minutes for my son to get his 5 shrimps and plain sopes for lunch on Saturday. Waiter was rude and unapologetic. I definitely give grace for lack of employees but this was pretty rude service and it's 40 minutes later and no lunch in sight. And empty drinks. read more

Had this for a catering event and the food is horrible. There pork belly pastor tacos were so bad and greasy. The pablano rice had no flavor and the beans ere just bad. Definitely pass on this place! read more

We went with family in early October and had been there a few times before. Originally reservation was for 8. One couldn't make it. We'd asked for extra chips for the guac and queso we ordered and were told it's a charge. Fine. We figured if a table for two gets free chips and salsa and we got one of those and paid for the others it wouldn't be a big deal. One diner ordered a margarita and the server accidently rang in two. She asked if the diner wanted it (didn't but after a bit of maybes took it and paid for it. Check backs were slow and drinks were empty. The food was fine no complaints but no one loved it. At the end, auto gratuity was on and receipt said party of 8. Person paying almost didn't catch it and as I was pointing it out the server told us they have to tip out the bartender. Low move. Several of us have been servers and not into that. We will not return. read more

I gotta be honest. This isn't what I expected in Wisconsin. I had a monthly special; Chilean Sea Bass. Wow, seasoned perfectly. What's crazy is that the chips, you know, the free stuff, was even seasoned. Very surprised and impressed. read more

Our visit was on New Year's Eve, thankfully we were early and we beat the snowstorm! We really enjoyed our Queso & Chips appetizer. For dinner, we enjoyed the Blackened Chicken Salad and Chimichurri Flank Steak. We loved the variety of the menu and we look forward to going back. read more

This place never disappoints! The food is always amazing, if you haven't tried the molcajete you're seriously missing out! The service is always amazing, our server today was Red and she seriously made it the best experience ever, she's the reason we will be back again and again. read more

This place is FANTASTIC! We had been to their food truck multiple times, but needed to try the restaurant. So glad we did. We are still in awe of how good the food was. The portion sizes are large. We started out our meal with the loaded queso. It was the typical cheese queso but topped with corn, black beans, spinach and ground beef. Then you mix it all up. Huge portion but sooo good. All the food was perfectly seasoned. I could not get over how fresh the ingredients were in the margarita. Muddled raspberries and I noticed bits of lime as well. I've never tasted such a good margarita in my life. Quinn our server was so polite and very knowledgeable! So glad we had him as our server! He was stating how everything is made fresh and in house. You could tell with its flavor how much pride this restaurant takes in its food/drinks. We had the inside out burrito and enchiladas. Can't wait to go back and try different foods. Restaurant is very safe during the pandemic. Sanitizer in bottle and individual wipes in 3 different places. Masks are required til you are seated. Servers are masked and several tables removed to socially distance, plus they have nice outdoor seating! Great job Osarios! See you soon! read more

The food is amazing. I had Chimchurrie Pasta with grilled chicken. The music volume was perfect for a business lunch meeting. Red provided excellent service and has a great sense of humor. We will definitely return! read more

RED was very attentive along with a great personality. A very good server that made the visit more enjoyable.

The food is good! The food is unique from any Mexican food I have had. The drinks are good as well, I recommend the sangria. Staff is very nice and attentive. The restaurant is always clean and has a great vibe! read more

This was my first visit. The service was prompt. I had an issue with my order, but felt it was fairly and quickly resolved to my satisfaction. The lunch express menu was varied and reasonably priced. read more

Saturday morning at the Farmer market I ordered the Brisket breakfast bowl From their food truck. The breakfast bowl showed up fast and hot the meat was tender with just the right amount of spices the ball also included cubed cubed breakfast potatoes scrambled eggscrambled eggs onions, tomatoes and peppers , topped with cheese. It was absolutely delicious the only thing I am disappointed in is that I do not live in town and cannot enjoy this breakfast more often read more

Went for express lunch. Must have been Opposite Day, as it took 40 minutes to get our food after ordering. Order was incorrect, thankfully the server brought out the correct food after another wait. Complimentary chips and salsa. House salad is large and good. Food was alright but nothing exceptional. Asked for a water refill three times and it didn't get refilled. If the service was better, it'd be a 4 read more

2 stars for food, 4 stars for bar/bartender/drinks This was our first time visiting Osorio's. Arrived during happy hour, sat at the bar. The bartender was welcoming, very service-oriented. Happy hour drinks were great: sangria and house lime margarita. Chips and salsa also good. Now for the "food". Ordered the carnitas. Fatty chunks of pork that looked like they were congealing for 2 days in a refrigerator. I was served unappealing gray, white congealed pockets of fatty lukewarm pork. While it tasted better than it looked, I could only eat half of one tortilla. The refried beans looked DAYS old: fried, refried, refrigerated, reheated, refrigerated, reheated, served. The shredded lettuce garnish was browning along the edges. I was served sad leftovers. read more

It was "ok". Salsa was complimentary and good. Guac was very, very good! Cucumber peach margarita was very refreshing. I got very excited that the mixed vegetables were a black bean and corn salad, but it was half warm/half cold (would have rather had all of it either all hot or all cold). The beans were very grainy and the skins of them and the corn were chewy. Carnitas taco was very underwhelming also. NO flavor except bland pork... disappointing when other restaurants' carnitas are juicy and have tons of spices and flavor. May be back, but we'll see. read more

It's so hit or miss with this place. I can't put my finger on it. Recently it was a miss and it was 100% driven by the service. We received our drink order 25 minutes after we were seated. That's just not acceptable. We had a later reservation and the place wasn't very busy and there was plenty of staff there. Our waiter rarely checked on us so thank goodness we got a pitcher of drinks. So much time passed between the appetizers we ordered and our meal being served I wasn't hungry any more and didn't touch my entree (filled up on chips and dip while waiting forever). Glad I didn't touch my entree because the plate was the hottest plate I've ever experienced at a restaurant. Either it sat under the heat lamp for 20 minutes or it was nuked right before it was brought out. I guess if a waiter noticed I wanted my entire entree boxed up to take home I might have asked if there were any issues. Nope. Just a robotic "sure let me box up your entire untouched meal, I hope everything was great!" The food I'd rate a solid 4 or this would be a hard pass. I'm sure we will go back at some point as they have a couple dishes my wife loves. But we'd go a lot more often if they had better service. read more

After not updating my review for over a year, and having 5 bad experiences in a row, I had to reluctantly update my review to reflect. FIRST, the owners are not to blame. They are good people, who CARE about this place and they try hard. Kim can sling a mean drink. They are the reason I have not bumped the review rating down to 1 star. Service and food is the downfall. Anyone in the last 4 visits who has ordered chicken has said, or I have experienced that it is WAY overcooked. Yes, I understand that no restaurant wants to serve raw chicken to their guest, but do not cook it to the point where it is rubbery. I switched to shrimp one of the visits to avoid the chicken, and they were overcooked too. I have also been served avocados that are not ripe. I'm sorry, but even a person who doesn't know ANYTHING about food should be able to distinguish when cutting into an avocado that it isn't ripe. They also took our favorite dish off the menu, which is really disappointing. The chips have been brought to the table cold the last 4 visits, and they used to be served warm which was a nice touch. I miss the way the food used to be here. I know they have had a lot of turnover in the kitchen, and that is most likely the source of this disconnect of the good quality they used to have. The service is by far the worst part. If you are placing an order, and a waiter/waitress thinks they are earning points by not writing down your order, and then FORGETTING what you ordered, JUST NO. I have witnessed this on several occasions, where they don't write anything down and then forgot something I ordered, even when they are not busy. JUST. WRITE. IT. DOWN. Last night I ordered some dessert to go and it was flung on the table in a black bag with no "have a great evening" or "thanks for stopping in". She just walked away after throwing the bag on the table since she already had taken care of the bill. Sorry to say but 5 strikes and you are out for good. Too many other places to spend our money at in the fox valley. Best of luck Osorio's! I hope you guys can turn things around and find some good staff to support your latin fusion vision the way it deserves to be supported. read more

Osorio's Latin Fusion - $7. Goo next to goo to go. Should have looked at this before I left, disgusting. - Latin American Near Me - Appleton, Wisconsin

Unfortunately cilantro was in the sauce for my entree but didn't-say so in the menu. When I said, I couldn't do cilantro and asked for new sauce. She brought me new sauce and said it was parsley. Well, there still was cilantro in it. The response was, "well just a little bit". Needless to say, we will not be back. The menu even said, "allergies let us know". I am glad it's just that I don't like it, if it was an allergy a little bit would have been bad. read more

Every time I've been here had been for lunch and I love it! Staff and management are great, super nice, and so informative when I ask about drinks and food that I'm not familiar with. I've tried so many new things because of that. I love the mezcal and tequila sections of the drink menu and they've educated me quite a bit on some of the ingredients (life long bartender/server here). I've only sat at the bar because I'm always on my own but can't wait to bring a group for dinner soon. It's nice to see the same faces when I have lunch, it means there's not a lot of turn over and they like their job. read more

THAT MOLE! Sorry to start this review with yelling but it is a must. This place has some of the best mole I have ever had. If it was not for that mole they would be a 4 stars. The service was a tad slow and the chips we ordered were tiny in portion. I can over look all that for the quality of the food though. I will be back again for that sweet and rich flavored mole and chicken dish. read more

Wow! Just wow! I always enjoy Osorios, but tonight was above the rest. I had the Champagne corvina, a beautiful flaky fish topped with bay shrimp and a delightful, sauce. (January monthly special) Accompaniments I chose were the poblano rice and mixed vegetables, both always flavorful. A signature margarita, obviously homemade. And my server Anastasia was attentive and friendly. What a glorious night! read more

Good food but don't bother with take out. As with any food, it proves to disappoint when taken home. The woman at the hostess station was rude when we were a few minutes early and asked if we could just have drinks while we waited then rushed our order which they ended up forgetting our sides. Giving 4 stars because I have had much better experiences in years past while dining in. I don't know if much has changed over the years but it's definitely downgraded. read more

It was a pretty disjointed experience of service with badly prepared food . menu was stained, the ambiance was like a average big room bar.. but, depending on who you are ? you might think this is an upgrade compared to other latin restaurants? read more

Great food Will definitely eat there again and would highly recommend Chicken mole was delicious:)

Thought we'd try a new place we've never been and overall we weren't disappointed. Start with cocktails and queso off the happy hour menu. Great stuff for a good price. Our meals were delicious as well. Well executed and good sized portions. Our server was a little slow but very friendly. We'll definately be back to try it again. read more

Osorio's Latin Fusion - Barbacoa Brisket Enchiladas - Latin American Near Me - Appleton, Wisconsin

I wanted to love Osorio's so much, but it ended up just being "eh" for me. The restaurant is beautifully decorated, I enjoyed that very much. The seating was comfortable and not too close to the next table which was absolutely perfect. The service was awesome, we were greeted warmly upon entering, seated right away, and rarely had to wait long for a drink refill. I ordered the "burrito Grandiosos", sauce on the side, sour cream on the side. The chicken was good, but the steak was definitely cooked the night before, or earlier in the day and reheated. You know how when you grill a steak, refrigerate it, and reheat it and it has that not fresh, reheated taste? Yah, it was that. Also, The Poblano Rice,I ordered on the side, was mushy and just not good at all. I only ordered a water for my drink, but my dining companions all had happy hour drinks, and loved them. So I am glad I tried it, since I have wanted to go there for quite some time. But now I have, and that's all the times i'll need to go. read more

I've never walked out of a Mexican restaurant hungry. I spent $20 on one dry brisket taco and a small clump of a Chevice' type dish. The bartender could care less. I'm not bringing any business guests or friends to this place ever. What a joke. read more

Stopped in for lunch while in town on business. The restaurant was obviously shortstaffed due to some flu going around town, but you can tell that they were busting their butts to get everyone taken care of. While service was a bit slow, they were really moving. Also, they were very friendly despite being short staffed. Had the veggie fajitas with guac and it came with two sides, I had potatoes and black beans (once I found out they didn't contain lard). Fajitas came out in a lava bowl instead of skillet but were hot and tasty. They use more and different types of veggies than most places, much appreciated. Beans were very tasty and the potatoes were too. A little oily but with a good rosemary taste. Flour tortillas were better than expected this far north. Salsa didn't have much heat but you can ask for their homemade sauce which was tasty and had great kick. Would recommend. read more
