Oso Felipe is an unassuming looking building, but is so nice inside. We went on a chilly night and it was cozy and welcoming. We sat at the bar, had a drink and some delicious, fresh guacamole and perfectly salted chips. The bartenders were friendly, service was great and the menu was very appealing. We had salmon with mole and pork chops served with a pickled cherry sauce for dinner. All was fresh and delicious! We will definitely go back to try more of the menu.

Came here for brunch and really loved my margarita. The nachos were solid too. The pico is just amazing!! We got tacos, which are a bit pricey ($25 for three). My fiancé had the chicken tacos and liked them, but I had the mushroom tacos and wouldn’t recommend them, it had way too many mushrooms. I would still come back though to try the dinner menu and for the drinks.

Was very delighted to hear that the old Richie Ceciers building was now a new restaurant after 10 years of being empty. What a great experience we had for my partners birthday , being a new Mexican restaurant that Montclair lacks we were quite happy. From start to finish was a great experience. Cocktail’s were delicious and the new twist on Mexican food was delightful. The only draw back was it was way to loud but all in all we will definitely be back to try other delights we saw on the menu!

Soft opening: Three floor Mexican restaurant serving food made with fresh ingredients. Grab a table by the kitchen and watch them be prepared.
Nachos that resemble tacos layered with cheese, topped with lettuce and jalapeño. Side of guacamole needs to double in size. Chili cheeseburger with perfect char and best steak frites in the area. Flautas were crispy and filled with shredded chicken topped with cheese crumble. More of the seasoned chicken is needed.
The signature cocktails are refreshing.

My wife and I dined here a couple of weeks ago and had a fantastic meal. I see some more recent reviews mentioning service failures. We didn’t experience that, and in fact thought our service was solid. My only comment would be that tortillas for the fajitas should be kept separately in a warmer instead of placed atop the steaming pile of meat/veg, where they very quickly become soggy. I’ll be returning next week with some out of town family and look forward to having a fully gluten free meal!

It was meh. We went for my birthday, and it didn’t live up to the hype.
Ambiance: Restaurant is beautifully designed in terms of aesthetics, but it is VERY loud in there because of all of the hard surfaces. So if you’re looking to have a conversation or a date night to talk, it is not the place. Acoustics were not considered in their design. I’ve been to a NYC restaurant on a Saturday night and have been unbothered by noise. It’s annoyingly loud because there is an acoustic issue of everyone’s voices bouncing off hard surfaces creating a cacophony.
Service: it was shakey when we sat down, no one came to our table for a bit, and there are no water glasses. Our appetizer came before our drinks. Some small issues there but nothing catastrophic. The server and staff in the front of the house were all very nice and attentive after the hiccup.
We love Mexican food, we eat A LOT of Mexican food. I want businesses to succeed, but I felt I needed to write this in the spirit of constructive criticism because it’s such a nice spot, but the food falls flat, at least what we had did.
Stacked Nachos: I appreciate a new take on things but they were smothered, soggy, and they were not nachos, they were 5 stacked tostadas that were impersonating nachos. Maybe more like a tostado lasagna? You have to eat them with a fork and knife because you can’t pick them up. They were more a Tex-mex flavor. Very spicy, kind of overwhelmingly so and unbalanced, which killed all the other components. Heat level here should have been specified on the menu. I expected heat (which I like) but not heart burn level heat. It was not topped with enough of the things that cool down nachos that make it that delicious treat we all crave and love.
Oaxaca rib eye steak is absolutely not a $63 dish. There is nothing ground breaking about it. Skip it.
Chicken fajitas: Chicken was flavorful and tender, the portion was smaller than your average fajitas. I wouldn’t be complaining about the portion if it delivered elsewhere. Where they went wrong: the peppers and onions were cut in a way that makes it hard to eat and they were essentially steamed, the veggies were tough and not caramelized at all. Some were raw, some were over cooked. Legitimately I could count the number of peppers on my plate, there were like 5 sad slivers of peppers. I had multiple pieces of the skin of the onion paper, which was half of the onion on my plate. I don’t want to work to cut my own food… it’s a fajita. I got flour tortillas (I should have tried the corn instead but that wouldn’t have saved the dish), they were greasy and tough. Maybe the worst tortilla I’ve ever had. Sorry to be harsh, but it’s in the spirit of being constructive.
Drinks were fine. They felt a little thin.
I wanted to love it but it was a miss. Not the best birthday meal, and honestly a bit let down. Womp womp. It just felt like mediocre food in a nicely designed restaurant. I’d rather good food over all else. We didn’t complain or send anything back, we had our meal, paid and left. There was nothing to make right here, it was just a mediocre meal with a high ticket price. We had 2 drinks, 1 app, and 2 entrees for $160 + tip.

Came here for my birthday dinner with my husband. We’re Montclair locals so we were excited to finally try this out. We heard they had a rocky start hence the wait to try. I have to say, the food was fantastic but a few things stuck out that would make me hesitate in coming back. For reference, our reservation was for 7 PM and we ordered pretty promptly— appetizers and entrées. Our appetizers came about 15 minutes later which was great, we were starving, but the entrées came maybe five minutes after our appetizers were served. Our table was then very full and we felt super rushed and also were not hungry for the entrées yet. For dessert, as it was my birthday, they brought out a sparkler with a tres leches cake. The sparkler went out as our server was putting it down. We laughed, and my husband asked for another as the whole point of a sparkler is to get a picture with it. (Don’t you want us to post on Instagram? Free marketing!) This server thought we were kidding and didn’t bring another and no birthday pic, how sad! I have to say the lighting was also extremely bright for night time and could use some dimming for much better ambience.

Great new Latin cuisine spot in Montclair with the rare liquor license. High end but extremely cozy atmosphere coupled with terrific friendly service and delicious food. A must try for brunch or dinner and they have several event spaces available for those special occasions!! Great addition to the neighborhood !!!

I’m writing this review with a heavy heart because I used to love this place. My husband and I came for Valentine’s Day
with a 7 PM reservation, but the experience was disappointing. We waited 30 minutes just for water and a margarita. The service was disorganized—we were brought the wrong menus and appetizers twice.
Regarding the food, I was shocked by the decline in quality. Paying $27 for three beef tacos feels overpriced, especially when the presentation and taste didn’t match the cost. We ended up spending nearly $200 (NYC prices) for a meal that simply didn’t live up to it. It’s sad to see a great restaurant heading in this direction.

Dined in with my husband. I made reservations ahead of time which I’m glad because it was completely full when we arrived. The space was open but some tables were pretty close together (especially the 2 tops). We had the chips and salsa, picadillo enchiladas, and chicken fajitas. Everything came out pretty quickly and tasted fresh. The picadillo enchiladas were super flavorful. Portions were filling enough for us. Prices were typical of Montclair. The check had a QR code so you could pay instantly at the table which was convenient. The service was great- everyone was very friendly and gave us a warm welcome and goodbye. Would dine here again!
