El Oso Mexican Grill: Reviews & Ratings
We love El Oso since we found them! We have tried many places in town but they hit with just about anything you order! Queso is always good! Rice and beans perfect. If you haven’t tried the bean dip... it comes with queso and is phenomenal! We love the authentic steak tacos, burritos, margaritas... and so much more! You will not be disappointed! We frequent often :) 10/10 Highly recommend and they are understanding of my disabled child who loves to frequent as well. All in all great establishment!
I go here too much. I'm pretty sure. Best street tacos in columbia, from tortillas, meat salsa, and even the lime, are amazing. The closest I will get to cost efficient mexican tacos!!
GREAT food, crispy chips (my fave), good salsa, excellent entrees. Server was lovely. Atmosphere is docked one only because it is definitely a college go-to, which isn't our scene.
Food, atmosphere and staff are super amazing, and the food is on point. You can taste the freshness of the vegetables and prepared with love.
While the restaurant is rather small, it's cozy and they make you feel like family. The staff are always happy to see you again and make wonderful suggestions. The Pollo-chorizo is my favorite.
Another great Mexican restaurant here in Columbia, Missouri. It’s a nice little place right along Broadway. It has a nice Patio outside. There’s a large black bear right inside the door which is fun to see. Our food was delivered fast to our table and service was excellent. We had the table side guac along with the chicken cheese and rice which is always a favorite. We’ve had their flavored margs in the past and there is a large selection and they are very tasty.
Excellent choice of Mexican food, authentic flavor, the lunch special is good and a good portion, you can't miss ordering the choriqueso, it's sensational, our waiter Andres was very professional.
We love This has to be my favorite Mexican restaurant in Columbia! The food tastes amazing, and very authentic. I got the chicken and shrimp mixed fajitas, absolutely amazing and came out super quickly. The service is great and Great patio area when it's nice out! Overall, highly recommend if you're craving some good Mexican! Love
