    Me and my co worker friends stopped by for happy hour! I had the shrimp tacos which were very good and a good price for 4 at 9 each! Small but hit the spot! The cocktails wete good too! Jake was our waiter and he was very cool this was my second time here for an afterwork pow wow and it did not disappoint!

    Excellent service and a welcoming vibe! I pretty much only come here for happy hours, so not sure how much that changes at other times in the day, but I loved it. Great tacos ($9 for 4 at HH) and tasty martinis.

    My friend and I went to The Grove Station for lunch today at 116 Newark Avenue, Jersey City, NJ and really enjoyed the food we selected. It was fresh and tasty. the eatery is cozy and in the winter it works just fine. Server Jake and busboy Federico were pleasant and efficient. I want to commend owner Jeff for keeping patrons happy whenever we dine there.

    Came here on Thursday after completing some business nearby for happy hour. The place is quaint with a full bar and kareoke everyday! As well as happy hour. It was Country Western Thursday so I bought a hat to enjoy the deals on the drinks and shots, plus I thought it would be cute to wear a hat. Happy hour is great and so was the service. I had the Jalepeno margarita and I liked it. I also ordered the truffel fries, there were very good. And shrimp tacos were also good and flavourful. Shots of casimogos felt watered down. I would definitely go back for happy hour and to try more food. I reccomend it. The vibe was also good.

    Chicken sandwich

    Popped in for lunch the other day. Great location. Nice place with seating out front and inside. I got a grilled chicken sandwich which came with chips. The chips were stale and some of them were also soggy from the pico that they put on top of them. The guac looked like something squeezed out of a packet. The sandwich was good. The server was friendly and attentive. And the prices were good. Overall it was an ok experience. There are a lot of other options in the area.

    I came here because they said they had an espresso martini and I am on the lookout for some of the best ones. When I walked in it was fairly empty as it was around 1:45 on a Thursday. The bartender was very nice and spoke wheni walked in and asked me what I wanted and I told him and then he asked me if I wanted to open tab which I said no because I thought I would just have one and leave. Come to find out the espresso martini was so good that I ended up having 4. The bartender makes a special espresso for the martinis with the hint of vanilla that is to die for. It taste like espresso with a hint of vodka, but oh my is it strong and amazing. You would think because it's so light it wouldn't have the strong espresso taste but the look is deceiving. The best part was that the martinis no matter what time of day are only $8. After my second espresso, I decided I needed something to eat, and the veggie flatbread was good. Nothing to roast scream about but good I did forget to say no olives because I don't like olives. I told my brother about it and yes, we will be back.

Our server was very on top of her stuff, making sure we had everything we needed and we were enjoying the food. She even let us practice our Spanish with her when ordering! My sister ordered the chicken tinga tacos and I ordered the beef birria. Both taco orders came with 5 tacos (because of the deal, it is typically 4), onions, cilantro, lime, and radish. Don't sleep on the radish, it my favorite part to add a nice crunch! Both meats were very flavorful and tender. They also gave us green and hot salsa on the side (green was my fave) and the birria tacos came with some delicious consommé for dipping. We also ordered guac and chips as an appetizer which was very fresh, and our favorite jarritos flavors to drink. It's decorated very nicely inside - no frills, a few tables and chairs inside for dining in and even a bar-style area with stools for those dining by themselves. They also offer takeout of course, but I honestly enjoyed sitting down because everything was very quick and they took great care of us. We walked, but there is only street parking so keep that in mind when traveling here.

    I had always been a big fan of Orale's Hoboken location (see review here-…read morehttps://www.yelp.com/biz/orale-mexican-kitchen-hoboken?hrid=ryYRKZXfVkYvL5NbKQavTA), which has sadly closed. However, I recently stopped into their original Jersey City spot for a quick snack at the bar. While my companion ordered a cocktail, I just had a can of Diet Coke, but we shared an order of chips and pico de gallo, which was excellent! The tortilla points were crispy and perfectly salted. The fresh tomato salsa was vibrant and delicious, but we also appreciated the three squirt bottles of more liquid-like sauces they gave us as well. These included one that was more smoky, one that was a medium spice-level verde, and another that was a more fiery rendition. The bar staff was great, and the large dining room was dimly-lit, but decorated with bright, festive colors. I will need to revisit that Orale location for a larger, more substantial meal next time!

    I was really torn about leaving this review but here we are. I went to Orale the other day because…read moreI had a craving for tacos and I wanted to be outside and people watch. The restaurant is located in the busy downtown area of Grove St. Jersey City. If you are lucky enough to get street parking great, if not there are some garages you can park in for a fee. I walked up and there were several employees at the entrance to the outdoor street-side patio chitchatting. They were very pleasant and quickly gave me a table. It wasn't busy. That's a key fact. Also I was dining alone. It took about 5 minutes for the waiter to come over and when he did he asked about my water preference and showed me the QR code on the table to get the menu. He left and came back and I gave him my order which was the carnitas tacos and a watermelon margarita. He quickly walked off and the food came out LITERALLY in 5 minutes. I was surprised because I was expecting the complimentary tortilla chips and salsa that's customary at most Mexican restaurants. Also I saw other tables with 2 or more with chips in front of them. So I asked a waitress that was passing by (since my waiter had seem to disappear) if I too can get the tortilla chips and she said it would be extra. Okay...well I started eating my food and my drink came out. The food was good. Flavorful. Temperature wise it didn't come out hot, it was warm... so it's not cooked to order. The drink was sweet and strong. So my reason for the three stars isn't the food or drink but more so for the service I received as a solo diner. My waiter never came back over to check on me! Had he done so I would have easily ordered dessert and something more to drink as I enjoyed the patio area. I had to wave him down to bring my check as he passed my table several times without even looking my way. Piece of me wanted to mirror his service in my tip but I still gave generously just to be a blessing. But I hate that I received poor service because I was a solo diner. I was a little jealous on how he treated the two other tables with 2&3 people. I spent over $50 here and left disappointed. So if you've reached this far, will I go back? Maybe. Just not alone.

It clearly worked: they've since grown to nine locations around Manhattan, and this Times Square outpost took over a corner of the old New York Times building back in 2017. The no-seating, standing-room setup is baked into the concept itself, not just this location. I don't love the location though, it's on a busy street in a very touristy area, which tracks, since that's exactly what it was built for. And yes, I was being a tour guide, taking friends and family to Times Square for what felt like the 80th time. At least the tacos make the trip worth it.
