01 / ABOUT THE PLACE

About this place

Diners who come for the birria tacos have remarked on their generous meat filling and a level of heat that was stronger than expected. At Orale, the tacos pair stewed beef with cheese. They’re a good choice if you want a taco with a substantial filling, rather than a selection of several different tacos. One diner noted that the portion was so generous that even after sharing, there was plenty left in a single taco. If you’re after a satisfying taco and don’t mind a bit of heat, it’s a dish worth considering.

The lunch taco set lets you choose from 2 kinds of tacos of the day and comes with salad, soup and either Mexican rice or chips. There’s also a 3-kind set for those who want to try a wider range; it includes salad and soup, with rice or chips available as an additional choice. For a different texture, try the quesadilla lunch. Choose one filling—meat and cheese, chicken and cheese, or beans and cheese—and pair it with salad, soup and a side such as mini taco rice or chips. One diner who tried the quesadilla praised the crisp texture of the toasted tortilla and the richness of the cheese.

Listed as an original creation, the pozole ramen combines Mexican pozole soup with Japanese ramen and includes avocado among its generous toppings. A diner drawn to the combination of Mexican food and noodles said they enjoyed it. The menu’s appeal lies in offering a soup-centred meal as well as tacos. Some sets pair it with salad and either 1 tacos or Mexican rice.

Drinks to go with the food include limonada, a lime-and-soda drink, and jamaica water, made with hibiscus. Horchata, a rice-and-cinnamon shake, is another option for anyone looking to try something beyond the usual soft drinks. A visitor described the restaurant as small, with counter seating, and it is presented as a good option for dining alone. There are also tables and terrace seating.
