O'rale Mexican Restaurant is a great choice for Mexican food of you are in Manville, New Jersey and craving food from south of the border. I went with the birria tacos and they were very good. I would definitely recommend them. O'rale Mexican Restaurant definitely has that no-frills atmosphere, but that is okay. I found the best Mexican food comes from these humble little mom-and-pop type places. The service was friendly and the whole experience was a winner. I would definitely recommend here. read more

Ate here instead of a chain while passing through the area. Family owned quality and care, and it shows. Food was amazing, staff was bothe competent AND polite. We both had thw enchiladas, one of us chicken, the other steak. Both were amazing. Great taste and quality, way more than a serving, and authentic taste. The cons - just one, they aren't near us. If they were, we would be regulars! read more

We were going to the movies and stop by here before to have a quick bite. It was very good food, but we thought this place was similar to the one in Jersey City and Morristown. It has not. The service was excellent and attentive, and the decorations in the restaurant were festive. The food was really good, but it just wasn't to the standard that we usually have in Mexican food in New Jersey. I can't be specific because I don't remember what I had, but I know I didn't have something that was excellent. The prices were good, not too expensive but in this day and age, everything is expensive thanks to capitalism. read more

I was recently in the area with friends for a soccer game and found Órale on yelp. I saw that the reviews were extremely positive so we gave it a chance. I have to say very happy that we did. The food was absolutely delicious and the service was equally as good. Giesy (our server) took exceptional care of us. Fantastic authentic Mexican food. Highly recommend in your in Manville area and are looking for really good Mexican food. read more

HIDDEN GEM. These are undoubtedly some of the best and most authentic tacos I've ever had and they're hidden in manville. These don't get the recognition they deserve. Now I know there are some crazy spots to go to in New Jersey but that should never stop someone from ordering here. The owner was such a nice lady and super attentive to us when we ate there The inside of the store is well... an inside of a Manville restaurant. Nothing special there But man these tacos are juicy, seasoned well, double wrapped, packed with flavor and super juicy. Make sure you try all their salsas as well read more

O'rale Mexican Restaurant - Steak, Peppers, and onions with beans and Carnitas rice and beans - Mexican Near Me - Manville, New Jersey

I've been coming here for awhile. Especially now that they reopened after the major flooding in Manville from hurricane Ida last September. This is a family run business, and it shows. The staff is extremely nice, the front desk girl who answers the phone and takes the orders is always happy and smiling. The food is very good and authentic Mexican. My favorite, and I usually get is 3 beef tacos, the traditional way with just a squeeze of fresh lime and thinly sliced red radishes, and fresh cilantro with salsa verde and hot sauce on the side. I also order rice and beans. The beans are very fresh and creamy,along with an order of grilled onions (aka it looks like scallions with an onion at the bottom.) Everything here is homemade and quality. There is street parking in front and around the corner. If you don't want to park across the street in the lot and walk. At O'rale Restaurant you can dine inside. They serve all the traditional Mexican foods and frescas. This Mexican restaurant has become my favorite in Manville. I've tried them all, and this one continues to stand out. read more

My boyfriend and I were hungry after visiting colonial park community gardens. I decided to let yelp decide what small business we should support for lunch! We came across O'rale not too far away. Yelp delivered again! This is authentic Mexican food! We got takeout but they are open for dining in and masks are required. My boyfriend ordered carne asada tacos and I ordered their enchiladas and not only was it delicious but you really get a bang for your buck here. We also ordered nachos with carnitas. A staff me never recommended it to us and I was very impressed with the quantity and flavor. I only give this place four stars because parallel parking seems to be the only option on a main road and I wish their menu was more descriptively the items. Other than that I would go again! read more

First time trying a local Mexican restaurant in Manville...must have passed it hundreds of times but very happy to report that the entire experience was excellent! Locate right on Main St, the establishment isn't large but has roughly 8-9 tables of four. We were greeted by the very friendly staff who provided us with the menus and glasses for our wine (yes...it's BYOB!). They also provide complimentary chips and three dipping salsas...two of which have a pretty good kick! We started with the guacamole and chips which had a nice fresh taste from the fresh lime. We order four entrees which included chicken enchiladas in green sauce (excellent), shrimp burritos (super flavor with good spice), chicken taquitos and grilled tilapia w/ veggies. All the food tasted fresh and well presented. Staff were very helpful and attentive. Overall, great experience and would highly recommend for your local Mexican food craving! read more

Food was excellent! Fast service, chips and salsa- nachos appetizer. Authentic Mexican food. Will go back!

O'rale Mexican Restaurant is a hidden gem located on the Main Street of Manville. Park in the lot across the street if there isn't a free spot in front of O'rale. Specials are listed on a chalkboard on the sidewalk. There are about six tables for eating in but they do a large take out business. Regulars stop by for a taco and to pick up dinner. We went on a weeknight. Although I intended to have something new and authentic, I went for the Carnitas special. It took a while but there were orders ahead of us and everything was freshly cooked. The staff is small. It was very tasty and good. I enjoyed O'rale Mexican Restaurant and will return. read more

Cozy family-run spot on Main Street. Great birria tacos. Friendly service. BYOB only.

Food was definitely good. You can tell it's a family business. Kudos to the young adults. On the food, it's seems authentic but their sauce.

I had lunch here today with my family and it a small place right in Manville . It wasn't busy when we got there so we sat down right away . I ordered a steak and pastor taco which was ok the meat had a decent amount of flavor a tad dry . My younger daughter order chicken tacos which she said was ok as well . You had to add salsa to give it that extra flavor boost. My husband and older daughter ordered each a different form of bistek which was actually a fairly large plate which a decent size piece of beef and rice and beans . The fresh made guacamole was pretty decent I wish the chips were a tad more fresh . All in all we had a good experience. read more

The food is very good and fresh. Prices are reasonable. Staff is always very pleasant.

Today is May 5th, a.k.a. Cinco de Mayo. I called six other places and no one answered, one person even said "I don't speak English". HAHAHA...Like WTF?? anyways.. And then O'rale was #7...lucky number seven. So I took a 20 minute drive and I see 3 employees working their tails off. The phones were jamming, 5-6 customers in and out and they were cranking out food orders. I was very impressed of their teamwork. As far as the food goes, when I opened it up at home I was very relieved and happy. It was very warm, ingredients were fresh & tasty. Nice portion, thus making this little hidden gem a authentic Mexican food joint. Definitely check it out and a big Thank you to O'rale for making our families Cinco de Mayo in 2020 more memorable then 2020 has been so far. read more

Enjoyed lunch here with my 90 year young mom. My mom had the seasoned pork tacos and I had the seasoned pork burrito. We both enjoyed our meals and they were very flavorful. You have 3 sauces to put on whatever you like, fresh and crisp condiments. They are set up with a half dozen tables so keep that in mind if you plan on eating there. They do deliver if you can't make it there. Staff was very friendly. A good experience overall. read more

This is my #1 taco place. I really wish my funds would be better so I can visit this place more often. Not only that the food is amazing but the staff are wonderful. Very humble and down to earth. Wish them the only best of success!!! read more

I went for a quick bite and it did not disappoint. Folks the cuisine from Oaxaca, MX is the best! The hand made tortillas used to envelope the tacos were fantastic! Of course everything was tops! When in the area I will definitely spend more time exploring their dishes. D'lish! read more

Cannot say enough good things about this place. The dining area was clean, service friendly & attentive, and the food was fantastic. Everything was super fresh and not greasy at all. Their tortillas are fantastic. Rice & beans super flavorful. Quesadillas are noteworthy and worth 5 stars on their end. Super accommodating for our kid's dietary needs. Cannot say enough good things and cannot wait to come back. read more

Great go to Mexican place. Came across it because I was craving tacos and nothing else was open! As soon as we got there we were seated and they brought out three different salsas with chips! Which were all delicious. Then we ordered food, which came out fairly quickly! Also delicious and authentic tasting. The place has a feel of Mexico with the vibrant table clothes and the friendly workers. It was a great experience overall for a rainy Tuesday night!! read more
