Mister Oso – Denver Restaurant Review

I love Mexican food, and I am searching for Denver’s Best Mexican Restaurant. This quest for the best will be ongoing as there are many excellent dining spots for tacos, enchiladas, and margaritas in Denver.

Recently I visited Mister Oso in RiNo twice. Once for happy hour and once for lunch. The RiNo location is at 3163 Larimer St, Denver. There is also a Wash Park location at 103 S Ogden St.

Mister Oso RiNo opened in the fall of 2019. Its interior décor of a leafy, tropics theme gives off a vacation vibe, which I love in the wintertime.

Executive chef and managing partner, Blake Edmunds, is a Colorado native. Although I did not meet him, his online culinary resume is impressive. I enjoyed my lunch taco during my visit on January 14, 2023. I ordered Pollo Bronco, which had smoked chicken, charred onion, jalapeño salsa, salted cabbage and crema for $14. The flavor was excellent.

Their cocktail menu is extensive. I had one of their rotating frozen cocktails, and I enjoyed it. Aqua Fresca is a fabulous option for those who would like to abstain from alcohol.

 

I give Mister Oso a thumbs up recommendation for quality food and service as well as a pleasant atmosphere.

Hours of operation for RiNo location are daily noon-10PM. Happy Hour is 3-6PM. Mister Oso is a “service included” restaurant, so expect a 20% gratuity to be automatically added to your bill.
