Are there bears in Mexico? That’s a thing we Googled while waiting for our tacos at Oso (translation: bear), a contemporary Mexican place in Hamilton Heights.

(If you’re not feeling tacos, there’s a wide-ranging menu of stuff to keep you happy.) Oso isn’t big, but the colorful, attractive space is the kind you want to hang out in for a while. Especially when drinking their excellent margaritas.
