Chicken and lamb tacos taste really good. But you can also go for just appetizers . Enough for dinner ! And they have happy hour at the bar , so you can early fill you with superbs margaritas ! Easygoing
Orale is the best thing to happen in Jersey City! Excellent drinks - Pomegranate Margarita . And the Enchiladas Suizas were divine. Not too oily, shredded chicken and delicious verde sauce .
Tacos are delicious as well as the different guacs . Watch out for the sauces - VERY spicy . Interesting drink menu, they definitely don't cheap out on the tequila ! Thursdays are happy hour all night
Great addition to JC!!!! Bone marrow pork belly tacos . Holy crap. The blue demon guac was insanely good as was the shrimp empanadas . Try the lobster tacos and thank me later. The morenitas are GOOD!
Beer battered fish tacos , chicken tacos , the veggie and shrimp entrees were amazing! So we’re the margaritas . Serranos with the margaritas add the right kick to it! ????????
This place is amazing & the service was unbelievable. Start off with the Trio Guacamole . Get 3 taco plates (pork belly & lobster are the shit) and a side of Brussels sprouts . You can thank me later.
Great ambience. The tacos are delicious... Both the tuna tartrate and the chicken ones were amazing. Get the diff flavors of guacamole for the table. You can't go wrong with that.
First time brunch at Orale. The huevos rancheros were really good, I liked how the eggs sat over an arepa . The huevos con chilaquiles was extremely spicy . Just not suited for the average person.
Their Enchiladas Suizas are out of this world. Shredded chicken and spicy verde sauce . So good and fresh. Guac and margaritas are excellent.
Very nice... food is good, read the menu (fish taco came with habanero relish ! :). Good, attentive service . A bit loud but it was a busy Friday nite... crowded is good. Welcome to the neighborhood !
Many great things, but the sauces... They're worth visiting again and again, amazing especially the green sauce (Serrano, garlic , tomatillo , etc)
Great menu choice, amazing atmosphere, awesome service by Brian and live music on Sundays! Definitely coming back!????

Very chill , very laid back , and really good food. (Cool background music too.) Halibut ceviche is great and also liked the under $39/bottle wine list . Def worth checking out.
The butternut squash with chorizo , Barbacoa tacos , spiced duck and the guacamoles . Great modern Mexican cuisine . Think of it as Mexican with a twist
Chicken tacos are do die for, wish I could recreate the flavors at home. While it may not jump out as a first choice, try the Doritos Guacamole !
Don't get guac unless you're getting the trio, or love to ration each bite.Don't consider the marrow pork taco unless you aim to pay triple.Get the fish taco & give it another shot!Best yet to come?
Amazing guacamole selections! Also can't go wrong with the bone marrow and pork belly tacos . Bring your appetite!
My favorite dish is the Carolina Barbacoa tacos . The bottles of sauce on your table are not to be missed, particularly the red one.
Love the grafitti decor and clientele; great edition to manila! Sipping the blueberry mango frozen margarita , weird sounding combo but strong enough to hit the spot!
Been there 5 times - fish taco is awesome. Drinks are creative but stick w/ Elite Margarita . Those claiming margaritas taste like "mix" never had real marg b/c they don't use mix, only fresh juices .
The Tuna Tacos are the bomb. So are the guac with blue cheese and the corn esquites.
Great choice of tequila and delicious drinks! Bring a couple friends and make it a board game night :)
Fresh salsa made table-side for the win! Definitely beats the usual table-side guacamole that all other Mexican restaurants have.
Mac and cheese and the table side salsa are amazing!! Only downside is that food comes out randomly... Our guacamole came out after the tacos .
The Butternut Squash with Chorizo is back!! Now just need the Dinosaurio with Lamb Rib to make it's re-entry on the menu
Strong margaritas and seitan tacos ???? ????
Chicken tacos were great! Very filling and delicious. The drinks are great too!
Great drinks and tacos . We love to sit at the bar and enjoy people watching from there.
Try the guacamole and this cheese dip with chips it's awesome! And the people are nice.
Come with a few friends and go family style on the tacos . You get 5 per order but only of one kind.
Great veggie options , and you can get the torta with seitan instead of meat if you ask.
Ate at the Bar . Bartender was really nice guy and went over menu with us. The food was delicious but for prices and portions not sure I would go back. Should atleast offer some chips .
The La Tabla a vegetarian dream! I want to remake it on my own but I don't think it will ever be as good as theirs.
The place is fun and very arty but a bit americanized...also in the food, just ok like most mexican restaurants in USA but nothing special.good service
Amazing Brussels! Tuna tacos and veggie enchiladas also very tasty!! I'll be back!
Great food. Good margaritas . And they give you 5 tacos for your taco plates !
Best sit down Mexican place in Jersey city.
Good food and great atmosphere. Though, I really wish the margaritas were better. They tasted cheap (booze and mixers) even with an $11 price tag.
Came for happy hour , but will come back for food. The bartender said the owner is Mexican so it might be worth a try!
Blue cheese guac (Blue Demon) and vegetarian seitan tacos just made my belly very happy
Fish tacos are fantastic. Best Michelada mix in Jersey City, too.
Omg!!!! Bone marrow and pork belly tacos are amazing!! So are all the cocktails ask el jimador tequila .
Fish tacos are amazing, and the perucho ceviche is also really good
Tuna tacos and barrachos are the best. Start with the queso .
Sit in the back room and order the pork belly guacamole ! Love this spot!!
U have to go to the happy hour . 5 dollar frozen margaritas strong
Great place, food, service - everything was top notch. Awesome edition to JC.
Fish tacos are amazing. Both the tuna and the barrachos.
If you want clean, healthy & tasty! Good prices, great for pickup. Spicy chorizo burrito and chicken tacos were yummy. - Soo Yoo
Their slightly spicy picadillo burrita is outstanding. Even the sides–rice and beans—were flavorful and well-seasoned. (The hint of rosemary was unexpected and smart.) - Phoebe E
No happy hour yet (as of March 2019) but they just opened recently. Delicious food & drink options - I love their tacos & tamales. - Alyssa Henry Gonzalez
One if the best place to get the ice cream in Jersey City. Coconut and chocolate flavours were top notch. Way better than regular packed ice creams. And affordable! - Aniruddha Mandke
Such beautiful decor and ambiance. Casual yet classy. Get the smoked old fashioned. It might be the best you have ever had ! - Pradnya W
