Our Guestbook
“ Food was amazing, staff were incredibly nice, amazing atmosphere! When staff found out we were celebrating a birthday, they brought over churros with candles and virgin tequilla shots on the house, and put a sombrero on the birthday girl, and sang! They were overall extremely friendly and attentive the entire evening, and we had some of the best Mexican food we've ever had! I never leave reviews but wanted to leave one for these guys because they made our night. Can't wait to go back! ”
“ First restaurant in a long time that we reacted 'wow'. The bloody Maria excellent and spicy. The house made green chorizo sliders ate great. The brisket hash and the sloppy Jose are brilliant. Have to return to figure out the Beef Tinga in the sloppy Jose. Three house condiments are provided, but everything was flavorful without them. ”
“ Fantastic food and drinks. Price was very reasonable given the large portions. Beautiful ambience and comfortable tables with great service. We visited at 3 on a Thursday since we had a young baby with us and it was wonderful. Will definitely be back! ”
“ This place carries a great vibe and the staff makes it even better with their prompt attention and quick service. Visited on a weekday evening and it was a not much crowded as it is on the weekends. The tacos are pretty epic combined with their hot sauces. Had a fun chat with the manager Francisco who took good care of us during my visit. Would definitely recommend this place. ”
“ Fantastic food and atmosphere! Had the seared tuna lettuce leaf tacos and they were delicious! Beware of the "mild" green sauce that comes on it and that is on the table, it is actually very spicy! Also tried the Carolina tacos and they were amazing as well! I'd recommend trying the gauc sampler too! Our server was very down to earth , funny and helped us out with understanding the menu and making everything clear! Every Tuesday is TACO TUESDAY and they have half price tacos but only if you pay for your entire dinner with cash so be prepared. well worth it , especially on Tuesdays! ”
“ I would definitely recommend this restaurant. Start to finish you will love it. The atmosphere is super cute. The food is absolutely delicious and the staff is delightful. We tried their food at the taste of Hoboken festival and immediately decided that we needed to pay them a visit! Their menu is not overwhelming in size, and the flavor of all of the dishes is outstanding. The drinks are creative and super yummy and an excellent value. Highly recommend asking for SHALOM she is the best! Edson is wonderful as well and their chef always goes above and beyond for their customers. An overall wonderful experience! Thank you so much we will definitely be back! ”
“ Awesome food. Fantastic drinks. Great interior and friendly staff. Really enjoyed my experience here at Orale. The tacos were delicious and the margaritas are one hundred percent recommended. The interior is designed perfectly with a "Dia de los Muertos" vibe and it's definitely a good spot for dinner. ”
