Mister Oso is an award-winning Restaurant located in the heart of the NOLA CBD. Our team constantly innovates, showcasing a playful & flavorful menu with rotating taco dishes, Peruvian ceviche, crudo, and enticing vegetarian options. Mister Oso originally opened in 2019 and expanded by opening in Denver’s Wash Park neighborhood in 2022 & in New Orleans’ Warehouse District in 2023. In the fall of 2023, Mister Oso was awarded the distinction of Bib Gourmand by The Michelin Guide.

The lively & energetic atmosphere at Mister Oso is ideal for a night out with friends or a casual date. This ambiance is further elevated by tropical plants & vibrant decor.

Just had one of the worst experiences ever. This review should be used as a warning. There is something very wrong when a waiter yells at a customer and blame the customer for being overworked. Long story short, waiter didn’t took everyone’s order, after pointing it out to another person, the waiter came back angry and frustrated at us, when I didn’t want to order any food the waiter yelled at me and complained he was just one person (why would that be an issue for taking everyone’s order), told the manager, the manager couldn’t care less. Food is nothing special for that price. The place looks good but it was too noisy, the waiter actually turned the music up despite us carrying a sleeping baby (was it on purpose? Maybe not, but this shows how little regard they have for their customers).

I consider myself a regular at this point - service was warm, squash mole salad incredible, and mojo tacos insane. I love the open air patio.

this place is so different, I had a raw brussels sprout salad. You would think that it would taste terrible (as I always get mine fried), but it was actually incredible.

The worst service I’ve ever had at a restaurant. They forgot our appetizer, brought us the wrong entree, wrong drink, very slow. There were food runners walking around asking tables if they ordered this, as if everyone was lost. Our server knew she did terribly and said the manager would come by, they never came. She only comped the one drink but even that wasn’t worth coming back. Which is a shame because the food we got was good, and great location/ambiance.
