Osorio Tacos Y Salsas

We just recently moved to the Traverse City area & got take-​out from Osario’s. We were NOT disappointed!!! The chicken flautas were covered with queso blanco & both the guacamole & pico de gallo were delicious! Hubby had vegetarian enchiladas which he scarfed down in record time! Hubby said the owner came out & spoke with him as he waited for our order & let him sample their various salsas, all of which received a thumb’s up. Osario’s is officially our «go to» place now when we’re Jonesing for Mexican food!

Food was good but prices are very high. Only had two cokes, one tamale, two tacos and one full meal-​$ 26 for lunch. Chips and salsa are extra. The review would be better if prices were reasonable

Very pleasantly surprised at how good the food was. The salsas, as mentioned in other reviews were very tasty. I had a chicken tamale. . very good, a lot of masa, but I like it. Others in our party had tacos, rice and beans and the guacamole was really good as well. Did not realize the chips and salsa were going to be charged to us. . we may not have eaten as much. . the chips unique and flavorful. We have traveled a good deal, including colonial cities in Mexico, taking cooking classes, and live in a community where the 2^nd in population is Mexican, and this food is as good as any we’ve had.

Authentically not very good. The people praising this place as «authentic» have probably never travelled out of Michigan before. I myself have travelled extensively in Mexico and Central America, lived in the Southwest over 4 years and frequently dine in Southwest Detroit (where there are actual Mexicans cooking) and know what I’m talking about. Issues:
Overpriced
They offer chips & salsa then charge $$ you for them.
Service poor (very rare for a Mexican place)
Interior is cheap with flimsy tables & chairs packed close.
«Barbacoa» only dry shredded beef, not authentic.
«Carnitas» stale and spoiled tasting.
«Menudo» ansolutely horrible– oily (???) and so overcooked & old the sparse ingredients have been liquefied. Disgusting.
My «authentic» opinion? Keep driving.

Everything I had here was top notch and delicious but what i want to specifically mention is their chips and salsa Verde. Holy cow! Hands down the best Verde I have ever had. Be sure to take home a tub and bag of chips when you are done stuffing your face. Yum!

Seriously the best al pastor tacos I’ve ever ever had.
But the best part of this entire operation is their incredibly fresh salsas. about 6 varieties!
