Orale is a vibrant Mexican restaurant with authentic delicious food. I personally think they did a great job with the decoration and setting up the ambiance. The food us not only good, but it is served in large portions, and the drinks are second to none. And if you want to try it, you don't have to spend much money. On Tuesdays during happy hour, they have $4 margaritas, $3 draft beer, and tacos are $2.50. You seriously can't beat that. Give it a try and i promise you will go back again for more read more

The inside resembled a paint store that exploded. Festive Mexican cantina with brightly colored tables and chairs with wall murals of people wearing colorful Mexican cultural attire. Vibrant chili pepper and agave artwork on the backs of the booths and chairs. Sat outside at table with an umbrella shade which helped a bit on this humid day. The waiter explained a few of the best selling items. Chose the steak tacos with black beans and rice for $22.00. They brought out a complimentary lava bowl of salsa and a basket of tortilla chips. Automatic 18% gratuity included. Dogs are permitted on the patio. The gender assigned bathroom continued the authentic Mexican theme with bright red painted tile walls and a handcrafted Mexican Talavera ceramic sink featuring desert cactus folk art imagery. read more

Paula was exceptional. She was so kind, attentive and friendly. We were seated and served quickly, which made the experience even better. The margaritas were amazing. They were not too sweet, had a strong pour, and the portion was generous. The ceviche was hands down my favorite. The serving size was huge and it was so good that I barely had room for my entrée. The carne asada tacos were tender, flavorful, and filling. The portion size was also very generous and we definitely ended up needing to-go boxes. The ambiance was great. We chose to sit outside and it was the perfect spot to relax and catch a vibe. read more

Stopped in for Happy Hour which runs from 3pm to 7pm and includes $4 margaritas and $3 beers. The margaritas are big and tasty! Chips and salsa served complimentary! The ambiance is nice, lots of decor. It was quiet when we came in around 4:45 (on a Monday) but picked up a little bit by 5:30. The only thing slightly lacking was service. We didn't know what the happy hour deals were and the server was not very informative and provided short responses. We couldn't find a happy hour menu on their tablet menus either. Would be helpful! read more

Orale Mexican Restaurant - Margarita, chips and salsa, and a Modelo during Happy Hour - Mexican Near Me - Hollywood, Florida

The best Mexican food in Hollywood especially the Lengua tacos and chili relleno's. The service is always top tier. The furniture is imported from Mexico and if you allow your mind to wonder you will think you are in Mexico. Definitely worth a try!!! read more

(Española abajo) Growing up in Los Angeles (a.k.a. Little Mexico), I've long appreciated and have high standards for what's "good Mexican food". I've been to this spot a few times, and its highest marks are definitely its location, outdoor and indoor seating availability, and interior decor; the service and food quality can be more variable. The murals and design of the space are absolutely top-notch, and the designers deserve their flowers! The menu, while vast, is fairly limited, especially with mix-and-match methods that are common in Mexican cuisine. For example, there's no option to have different tacos on the same plate, nor enchiladas, etc. I readily praise that the food this most recent time was fairly good, as the kitchen absolutely delivered and the deliciousness of my favorite type of tacos: al pastor! Also VERY refreshing that servers are allowed to bring FREE chips and salsa to the table as the first introduction, which is satisfying. The frozen margaritas and horchatas were really tasty too! The waitress was very kind and accommodated us when, for example, taking the taco dish w/o rice and beans won't, for some greedy capitalist reason, doesn't reduce the price. Because speaking of, it is always gonna be more expensive than you expect (and comparable places in LA, of all places, for example. So there is enough inconsistency and an inflexible menu for me not to give it 5 stars, if it's your first Mexican culinary adventure or you just want some convenient Mexican flair, this place will surely satisfy - especially the visual delights. Plus, it's in a walkable, easily accessible, multi-modal area with outdoor seating on a beautiful streetscape that makes it even better. Just get ready to pay a pretty penny. Habiendo crecido en Los Ángeles (también conocido como el Pequeño México), siempre he apreciado y tengo altos estándares para la "buena comida mexicana". He visitado este lugar varias veces y sus mayor elogios son, sin duda, su ubicación, la disponibilidad de mesas tanto afuera y en el interior, y la decoración; el servicio y la calidad de la comida pueden variar. Los murales y el diseño del espacio son absolutamente la mejor calidad, ¡y los diseñadores se merecen sus flores! El menú, aunque extenso, es bastante limitado, sobre todo por la combinación de platos que es tan común en la cocina mexicana. Por ejemplo, no hay opción de pedir diferentes tacos en el mismo plato, ni enchiladas, etc. Me alegra mucho que la comida de esta última vez haya estado bastante buena, ya que la cocina cumplió con creces y la exquisitez de mis tacos favoritos: ¡al pastor! También es muy refrescante que los meseros puedan traer chips y salsa GRATIS a la mesa como entrada, lo cual es muy satisfactorio. ¡Las margaritas frozao y horchatas también estaban riquísimas! La camarera fue muy amable y nos atendió cuando, por ejemplo, pedir el taco sin arroz y frijoles no reduce el precio, por alguna avaricia capitalista. Porque, hablando de eso, siempre será más caro de lo que esperas (y en lugares comparables de Los Ángeles, por ejemplo). Así que hay suficiente inconsistencia y un menú inflexible como para no darle 5 estrellas. Si es tu primera experiencia culinaria mexicana o simplemente buscas un toque mexicano práctico, este lugar sin duda te satisfará, especialmente por su sabor. Además, está en una zona peatonal, de fácil acceso y multimodal, con terrazas en un hermoso paisaje urbano que lo hace aún mejor. Prepárate para pagar un buen precio. read more

When I say I want Mexican food, this place is what I mean. Free chips and salsa. A lunch menu. Gaudy Mexican decorations. Giant margaritas. A happy hour. Delicious food that comes with tasty refried beans and rice that I can get covered in a cheese sauce. Good service. Paid parking is available right out front, and downtown Hollywood's parking is actually pretty cheap. If I lived closer, I would be here all the time. read more

Orale is located in downtown Hollywood with indoor and outdoor seating. The service is always good. I had the mixed meat fajitas served with refried beans and guacamole. Cooked to perfection. The only thing was that the dish was too salty for my taste. Comes with chips. Large menu with lots of choices. This is a great place for authentic Mexican food. read more

On busy Hollywood Boulevard this Mexican spot is quite close to a great authentic Mexican vibe, decor, drinks and food. The menu is everything Mexican. Great pricing with both food and drink menu. Outside seating was great because we could see the happenings of the street while enjoying our drinks and food. Went inside to use restrooms and didn't like the moldy smell but the bright colorful decor was beautiful. The drinks were huge, they had the tequila, they had the spice, they were refreshingly delicious. I love the Al pastor tacos and the fact they came wrapped up to stay warm and was warm a big plus. They had a singer/band so the vibe was great. Friendly attentive staff. Great food experience on a budget. read more

I loved everything about this place! Cosy spot in downtown Hollywood with eclectic decor, friendly service, sizable menu, a happy hour, authentic loaded Mexican food (leftovers for days), and free chips and salsa. I ordered the steak fajita taco salad, the shell was stuffed to the brim with deliciously marinated and seasoned fajita meat and veggies, friend had a chicken dish with the chicken taking up the whole plate! Great value, 10/10. read more

The main reason I come to Orale is their fire chorizo queso dip! It is my favoriteeeee but I will say their barrier tacos are also fire!

Absolutely awesome. The hottest plate of food, with great rice and great tacos. What an awesome surprise...

I haven't tried anything I didn't like. You can't go wrong when you order here. I just wish parking was easier.

My friends and I came here after doing an escape room across the street and was so happy to see they have a great weekend happy hour. We got the house margaritas and a bunch of appetizers like their beans, shrimp ceviche, nachos, and guacamole. I love that they serve you a complimentary salsa and chips basket and it was so delicious. They were fast with the service and while there was a good amount of people enjoying, there was ample seating. read more

Amazing amazing amazing great service great food fast don't miss it. The drinks are great too.

I ordered the family meal for four and the food itself was honestly delicious. No complaints at all about the taste -- everything was fresh and well made. However, I do have an issue with the service. The meal was about $80, and while the price isn't the problem, I was disappointed with how certain things were handled. When I asked for extra sauces (which usually come complimentary with tacos), I was only given three. For a family meal, that just didn't feel like enough.On top of that, I paid extra for an order of jalapeños and they were not included in my bag. I called back to let them know, and nothing was done to fix the situation. Again, the food was great, but customer service and attention to detail really matter -- especially when spending that amount. I hope they improve in that area. read more

Went here after looking somewhere to eat after having coffee. It's a little on the expensive side for Mexican food in my opinion but the service and food are good. The menus are on Ipads which in hindsight isn't a great idea when ordering while outside and the sun beams on the menu. But it's a cute idea and I think we just had bad timing in using the menus. While ordering we were given chips and salsa which is expected for most Mexican restaurants. The salsa was decent and the chips were good. I ordered the steak fajitas and finished the tortillas with some of the fillings in it and took the rest home for two bowls later. So while it was on the expensive side, the serving size makes up for it. You can have leftovers for the next day or two. Not a place that stands out to me that'd I'd recommend out of the blue to a friend. But if I knew someone was in the area, I'd mention it as a decent place to eat at that's on the expensive side. read more

Delicious fresh food! Huge portions. Great vibe! Live music!! Chicken burrito 8/10 - came with rice, beans, and salad. Huge!! A little spicy but delicious there was a light creme sauce on it that gave it a nice level of flavor. Hot & spicy burrito 9/10 - not that spicy but very delicious! Tender meat and filling Steak Nachos 8/10 - the cheese sauce was very light and a little watery. Almost like a creme sauce more than cheese. The steak was very tender and cooked to perfection! read more

This place is amazing food portions are very large the margaritas were strong 16oz and only 4 dollars .. hands down best place we have found in Florida and the decor is amazing including the bathrooms lol and i get great mexican food in California .. this was up there read more

Service- absolutely perfect. There was a 5% language barrier but maybe it's just adds to the authenticity. Gentleman that waited on me was friendly. Patient checked on me a few times, but not overbearing. He did mistakenly ask if I was finished when I was not but stuff happens. Food - the authenticity of this food reminds me of something I would get in Mexico while the ambience is more modern and "chain restaurant " style. The menu is featured cleanly on an iPad with photos was missing was more detailed descriptions. I ordered an enchilada with a taco. Unfortunately you can only choose one meat and it's only chicken or beef. I would've preferred to get Carnitas or something else, but it was still very very tasty. I have to say the chips with salsa were incredible. They must be made in the house they were so fresh and flavorful and the salsa was very impressive. Not spicy but not boring. just perfect. read more

I met some friends at Orale for dinner, when we walked up we heard music not realizing right away that it was live music! We were seated and given fancy menus that were tablets! We were given chips and salsa and ordered drinks. I opted for the medium margarita and it was huge! There were four sizes with the biggest being XL, I can't imagine how big it must be if my medium was probably atleast 20oz. We ordered our entrees and everything was SO good! I got the tamales and my BF got the arroz texano. My tamales were just what I was craving and the texano was a massive portion and the sauce on it was so delicious! We were sadly going out of town so we couldn't take home our leftovers, my BF said he was still thinking about his meal two days later, lol. This is a great spot if you're looking for big portions, entertainment (not sure how many nights a week they have live music) and great tasting food! read more

The most overpriced menu in Hollywood, and yes, I've eaten at Billy's Stone Crab. At least Billy's offers quality. This is the common authentic menu you can get everywhere in the country. Fajitas, a tostada, queso and margarita that had vey little flavor came to $101 with a medium tip. We've had that same meal elsewhere in the Midwest/South for $35. I've eaten more creative dishes in larger portions on this same entertainment strip for under $60. I can only assume they were making me pay for the iPad they used for a menu presentation. Look elsewhere on the boulevard for Mexican cuisine. read more

Not a fan of giving mixed reviews but I'll tell you why. The food was really good and the inside decor makes you feel you are in a small town in Mexico. When we ordered the margaritas, we asked if they can add mezcal instead. WE WERE NOT offered what brand. When the bill came, they upcharged us with top shelf mezcal without previously asking if we wanted it. Don't think it's right to not disclose it before making the drinks and allow the customer to choose. So please make sure you say what brand you want when ordering. read more

Don't order delivery from this place... The good: the food is pretty good, the tilapia was great tasted fresh and well seasoned. The diabla shrimp were ok, not even close to spicy though. The guacamole was good too bad that their packaging is so cheap, which brings me to the bad... The bad: the cheapest packaging on earth, my food arrived damaged and spilled all over the place due to the packaging. I would gladly pay more per dish if they had decent containers and bags. Seriously disappointed and will never order for delivery again due to this. Summary, if you're going to physically go into the restaurant then I would recommend trying their food, but avoid ordering for delivery unless you want to eat half of your food directly from a plastic bag. read more

I liked the menu, our server was good. Unfortunately the way this restaurant works, they allow no substitutions or gives menu options to try different things. For example, they have a plate with 3 tacos, but since it was our first time there, I wanted 3 different types. I would pay extra for it. But there's just the options on the menu and we could not pay to upgrade the options. Since we could not taste different dishes even paying extra, I decided to take my family next door to GoBistro, we they have great service and give Customers lots of options to spend their money. read more

I went to this restaurant for dinner with a friend after work. I ordered the guac , ELOTE , mixed fajita and chimichanga.

The second time it was good Chimichanga- delicious I also ordered the Margarona with Milagro tequila - wonderful. Would return for drinks The waiter was very nice and helpful as well read more
