Very creative chef inspired Mexican food. The empanadas were wonderful as an appetizer, the grilled salmon entree was exceptional, and the Carne Asada with corn elote was also very good. They have a fantastic dessert called mango nada. If you’ve never had it, you must try it! Our server, Desi, was a delight. Took very good care of us even though it was a very busy night.

Went for the chefs tasting experience. Both the last theme of Mexico and the most recent theme, Peru, were amazingly well curated. Beverage pairings were thoughtful and added to the dining experience. Would highly recommend attending one of these events when you can. On a normal day Mr. Oso has one of the best happy hours in Denver as well as some of the most delicious food.
