I am generally not a meat eater, I can't stand the whole idea behind it or the way it tastes…read more When I am in Mexico however I will try things and I can honestly say the difference in taste is amazing. La Oriental is the bomb! The best tacos Arabes in Puebla with Tacos Tony in a close second. The pork is slow cooked all day on a spit then wrapped in tender fresh baked shawarma bread. They usually have a yummy chipotle type salsa to go with it. These tacos are found mainly in Puebla, Mexico. They were were brought to Mexico by Middle Eastern Immigrants and the meat was originally lamb. La Oriental's meat is tender, juicy and exploding with flavor. Hints of cumin, pepper and oregano. The meat is marinated first before it is sliced thinly and put on a spit and layered with onions. You can also order the meat by the kilo and take it with you. They will provide you with plenty of salsa, shawarma and beer if that is your preference. This place is amazing, the people are warm and friendly. My favorite!

Not the best for a large group as there is limited seating. Not an issue as I was dining solo. They only have falafel sandwiches either a wrap, pita or salad . Ingredients are fresh, I thought falafel could have been fried just a bit more to have more crispy texture. The inside was tad dense also. I wish I could have had a side of sauce to add a little kick. as flavors were monotone. No pickles or anything salty or acidic inside the pita to balance flavors, that's what I am used to. It seemed there was only one bottle which he gave to another table. One suggestion is to have a little bowl so one take some sauce to the table without taking entire bottle. Language is a barrier as I am not fluent and felt shy to grab the bottle, I am sure that lady would have been ok with it lol but was feeling self conscious about coming off as rude and getting us American a bad rap. Overall an ok meal, it wasn't bad but not did it blow my mind.

We started with the Jarra de Café Arabe which was made just right. It reminded me of Lebanon and gave me that midday caffeine kick I needed. The Pan con Queso y Zaatar was surprisingly not authentic. It was essentially just cheese with dry zaatar on the side. I was expecting it to be baked with half Cheese and half Zaatar. They essentially gave us the zaatar to sprinkle on our own. The Pastel de Dátil was rich, naturally sweet from the dates, and a bit dense. I picked up on other spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and cardamom which gave it some warmth while the crust was more crunchy and nutty. Good try, overall!
