I ordered the shrimp taco plate and grabbed a beer from the frig. It's the kind of place that you order first and then go grab a seat. They have a salsa bar! So good! The server brought some chips out first and then my food came out. I sat on the patio outside, beautiful day and nice view of the park. Bonus, FREE parking out front! The bathroom was very clean also. I would definitely come back here when I come through Paso Robles again. read more

We found Orale' by chance while shopping in Paso Robles. We decided on a late lunch. My wife ordered the taquitos and I ordered the chili verde. We both had an agua fresca. Everything was delicious!!! My wife's taquitos were plump and piping hot. The rice and beans served with our meals were both pleasing and authentic. The agua frescas were good and homemade. Now, my chili verde....that was another story. It was fantastic, flavorful, tasty and spicy in a very good way. This is chili verde that my grandmother made for my picky grandfather and that I miss so much. Wow!!! What a treat. The next time we're in Cambria, I will have to find an excuse to suggest to my wife that we make the drive to Paso Robles for lunch/chili verde. Hopefully she will respond, "Orale!!!"' read more

Their birria tacos were quite good. The meat was so tender and flavorful (subtle), and the tortillas were perfectly cooked. The broth was rich and satisfying, and the overall experience was top-notch. If you're in the area, I highly recommend giving this place a try. read more

My husband and I came across Órale taqueria while looking for caterers for our wedding and I'm so glad we did. The pictures of food looked so good, we knew we had to try them! When we reached out, Kristin responded so quickly. Each time we had a question, she was quick to answer them. We even added little customizations and they made it so easy! And at a great price. We scheduled a tasting and everything was delicious! The chicken, carnitas, al pastor, flautas, taquitos, salsas. I mean everything! The passed appetizers made casual food appear fancier at our wedding. The guests loved the food, not to mention how friendly the staff was. They even made effort to come feed me and my husband during pictures because they were worried we weren't going to have time to eat during the wedding. It's those little moments you can't forget! Thank you for being a part of our day, we wouldn't have it any other way. read more

So delicious! Their bowl of albodigos soup is filled with small meatballs, carrots, zucchini, onions, and spinach. The flavor is perfect and it came with a serving of Spanish rice It's January and the soup was served piping hot which really warmed me up. Their tacos on Tuesdays are $1 off. I ordered a taco with pastor filling and it was really awesome! The chips/salsa are complementary. My first visit here and I am very impressed with the service and food quality. Definitely will come back. read more

Mex Tex type of restaurant. It wasn't busy at all for a Thursday lunch at 12:00pm. Everything we had was pretty good. The pastor and cod wasn't as tender as the shrimp. But still great flavor. We went with no salt except for the pastor. They all had flavor already. We didn't see super burrito option but the lady said they could do it. Free salsa station. 1 restroom. Plenty of street parking all around. Alaskan Cod taco- tiny portion of cod but a lot of cabbage, cod could be more tender Al Pastor super burrito- pastor was a bit dry Shrimp super burrito- very good read more

This is my go to lunch spot every time I visit Paso. The food is delicious, filling, comes out quickly, and is reasonably priced. I've ordered a few different burritos from the menu and the enchiladas. My favorite burrito so far has been the surf and turf with shrimp and steak! You can also never go wrong with the chicken enchiladas. There is ample seating inside and out front, especially now with the parklets. Even without them though, there is a nice covered seating area outside. This spot has a great location in the center of downtown right across the street from the park. Plenty of parking in the area, though you may have a little walk if it's a busy afternoon. Pro-tip: if you have a long day of wine tasting ahead of you, the burrito saves very nicely and makes a great in-between winery snack if you don't finish the whole thing at lunch! read more

The good hit the spot. I had the taco salad and added chicken. I really liked that the salad was topped with sour cream and avocado. I topped it with salsa that was available in the salsa bar. Rudy liked the carne asada, he was surprised how much meat it had. read more

I was craving nachos and Orale Taqueria was one of the places in downtown Paso Robles that has nachos including sour cream and guacamole for under $10. If you wanted around the restaurants in the downtown area, you'll notice that the majority serve food options $15+, so if you want cheaper eats.. just know those are harder to come by. Nachos || $9 Chips topped with refried beans, grilled red bell peppers, grilled onions, cheese, sour cream, and guacamole. The nachos were ok. Nothing too special - don't think this was worth the $9 price tag. Chips tasted a bit stale. Wish there was more cheese or at least a more even distribution of cheese between the chip layers. Taquitos || $10.50 Beef or chicken taquitos plate that comes with rice and beans. Comes with sour cream and guacamole. This dish was on the mediocre as well - good but not memorable. The taquitos were served cut in half, which I thought strange. read more

I had one grilled Alaskan Cod taco and one sautéed shrimp taco. Wow! No wonder this place has such high ratings. Don't miss this place in Paso Robles. Happy Mexican music playing and great salsas! Definitely a return visit is required. read more

There HAS got to be better Mexican food in Paso...right!? if there's not then I'm sorry for Paso... We got complimentary chips and help-yourself salsa which was bland and not worth going back for. The young lady taking our order was less than enthusiastic to be at work& definitely seemed like she didnt want to be there. Three street tacos were tasty. Not much to them. The rice and beans also lacked flavor, particularly the rice. Thankfully the limes (which were bruised and pulp practically white in color) and Pico de Gallo were available to douse the food in. Still, I would not return. read more

Eat. Here. Now. This place is where you want to eat. How you want to eat. The quesadilla pastore was so very yummy with generous dollops of sour cream and avocado rounding out flavors of salsa and dipping sauces at a self serve bar. Tasty rounds of crispy warm chips were complimentary, making for a value packed and flavor packed experience. read more

Great place for Mexican food. 4.5 stars Stopped here for lunch and was not disappointed. There isn't a lot of seating, but wasn't busy at 2pm. We ordered the birria tacos, street tacos and a wet burrito. The birria tacos were out of this world. The meat was juicy and full of flavor. The taco was crispy and the melted cheese blended in really well. I'm salivating as Im writing this review. The wet burrito had nicely laid out red and green sauce topped with avocado. It was large and the ingredients were well balanced. Most of the meat was great, but I didn't enjoy the pork as it lacked flavor. read more

Orale did a wonderful job catering our daughter's wedding. Great communication, delicious food, and so easy to work with. They did a great job helping us figure out the logistics ahead of time. The wedding and reception was held at our home, so it was such a blessing that I was able to hand over the food service into their capable hands. read more

We placed an online order for pick up on Friday night, and had a positive experience. Good food, prompt service, and a smooth, easy online ordering process. Our family of 3 had the following: 1) Fish tacos: the grilled fish was tasty, but I thought there was too much lettuce, and wasn't a fan of the chipotle sauce (we would have preferred a street taco version of this) 2) Shrimp tacos - the shrimp was delicious, as was the avocado, but the lettuce was excessive (we would have preferred a street taco version of this) 3) Al pastor street tacos - very flavorful - our favorite The online ordering process was easy and the food was ready on time. Overall, we had a good experience. read more

Welcome to We're All Fatboys Central. My rating is strictly off the surf and turf burrito, but yo, it is sooo good. I gringo'ed it up a bit and added sour cream and avocado, I highly recommend but you do you. The biggest draw on this burrito is the cheese. Cheeeeeeeessseeeseee. Might be nacho cheese, might just be a whole lot of melty dankness. Either way, it flows heavy right out of the middle of the rito the whole time and it's like dying and going straight to the pearly gates. Coincidentally, you might want to be dead after this meal, but that's what we're all here for! Wifey got a fish taco, which really wasn't that good TBH. But the burrito was so good, all other menu items have been trumped. Calling all fat boys and gals! read more

In my mind, good Mexican food has vibrant flavors from fresh ingredients and artful use of spices. Orale serves excellent Mexican food in large portions in downtown Paso Robles. I ordered the fajitas, while a friend ordered the shrimp and fish tacos. The tacos came first, and looked very good. The inclusion of sliced avocado and a creamy sauce added to the eye appeal, and my friend enjoyed the dish. The fajitas came out heaped on a sizzling plate. The portion size was surprisingly large. The use of shrimp, chicken, steak, bell peppers and onions made for a very tasty medley that was also very filling. Other menu options included burritos and torts, rellenos and enchiladas, jarritos and horchata. Seeing dishes from other tables pass by, it looks like everything served at Orale is large and tasty. I will visit again whenever I find myself back in the area. read more

I picked this place over La Mexicana II per Luke's review. I was pleasantly surprised. His review was Spot On. The food was hot, fresh and very flavorful. The service was great. Each item came out as it was completed in the kitchen very hot n fresh. So their were three items ordered. First was the Street Taco for my mother-in-law. Second to come out was the Trio Fajitas for my wife. It came out on a sizzling planter with steam coming from it too. The flavor of all the meats including the shrimp was outstanding. This fajitas is some of the best I have tasted in a very long time. The third item was my cheese enchilada with a chicken flautas. Just like everything else it was hit and fresh. The flavor was also Outstanding on this plate too. The Flautas was one of the freshest I have ever had. This place is small but packs a Very Big Punch with their food. I would highly recommend this place. Thanks Luke for your review from our Yelp Society . read more

I came to Orale Taqueria on a Saturday evening around 7PM. This was my first time in downtown Paso and I wasn't sure about the parking situation, but they have spots lined up all around the area. It is free for the first 2 hours, woohoo! You just enter your license plate # into one of the parking station machines, pretty neat. I ordered a California burrito and a horchata and everything was delicious. The carne asada meat was SO tender, juicy, delicious, [add any other flattering adjective]. It really stood out to me and they don't skimp on their portions! The cheese was also melted perfectly throughout the burrito. The burrito was more than enough for one person. My horchata was also delish, hit the spot. My boyfriend ordered al pastor and carnitas tacos. He said the al pastor was better and they give you a lot of meat! They also gave us complimentary chips and salsa to snack on while waiting, their red salsa was my fav. There wasn't too many people on a Saturday evening actually. We decided to sit inside because it was spacious and no one else was dining in, but they have plenty of tables outdoors too. The restaurant was super clean which I appreciated. The owner was super sweet as well. I will be back! Thank you Orale Taqueria. read more

We are locals. Since they opened many years ago, we have returned probably 50+ times. Never disappointed- great Tortas. Btw the owner looks very much like Sergio Mendez (sadly sergio recently passed away) read more

This place was small and there were quite a few people here inside and outside for dinner after 7pm on a Wednesday. Their menu was next to the counter so we were deciding what to order. This was the kind of restaurant where you order/pay first then they bring your food to you based on the number they gave you. The girl that helped me was super nice and helpful when I asked her questions about the menu. I ordered the El Trio Quesadilla ($10.95) and a soda ($2.50). My coworkers ordered the California Burrito, two enchiladas, and a fish taco. The food came out to us outside after a few minutes. The weather was great so that was why we sat outside. The El Trio Quesadilla was delicious but also very oily. I wasn't sure where the oil came from but it was either the carnitas, the grilled chicken, or carne asade which were the three meats in it. The size and portion was big so most people would be full after finishing it all. Overall, I thought the food was good here and would recommend it if you're feeling like Mexican food while in town. read more

Orale was squarely OK. Hubby and I get regular cravings for Mexican food so when we've been without for a few days, we start itching. Cut to our weekend in Paso Robles, we sought out some Mexican food after hitting a few of the wineries and came here. I ordered the albondigas soup, a buche taco and an al pastor taco. Hubby ordered the three-item combo (taco, enchilada, chile relleno). He really enjoyed the beans but said everything else was adequate. My albondigas soup was quite flavorful but I didn't really enjoy the texture of the meatballs. The tacos were alright, too. The al pastor was slightly more enjoyable than the buche taco. I got somewhat more excited about the salsas. The red and orange/yellow ones were must more flavorful than the green one so we ended up mixing them. Went pretty good with the basket of chips they gave us. It scratched our itch but wasn't as impressed as apparently everyone else. Sorry! read more

It's difficult to find quality Mexican food in SLO County, so it was exciting when we came across Órale Taqueria. The cashier was super friendly and gave us some recommendations, which she said the street tacos are the way to go (Carnitas is what they are known for). I wasn't very hungry but I decided to go with a carne asada and a carnitas street taco, which comes with cilantro and onion (salsas, limes and other garnishes are available to our own liking on the side). Chips were brought to our table with an array of salsas that we can choose from. The restaurant is brightly lit and in the heart of Downtown Paso so it's in a convenient location. Unexpected visit was Santa and Mrs. Claus who came in and gave everyone candy canes so that was a fun addition for the holidays! read more

After a (from everything that I recall, super delicious) visit a couple of years ago, my husband and I somehow managed to forget that Orale was an option. Totally our loss. After a family member reminded us of how great their al pastor is, we stopped by and were amazed that we hadn't been back earlier! My husband loved his El Trio quesadilla so much (best quesadilla he has ever had, and let's be honest-- it's tortilla, cheese, and maybe meat... even a "meh" quesadilla is pretty good) that he asked in astonishment "Why haven't we been back?! Was something wrong last time?" Nope. We were just apparently slow on the uptake with this one. No longer a problem-- we've gotten take out from this spot easily 3-4 times in the last few weeks. First of all, seems worth mentioning that their Covid precautions are on point-- staff is masked, super friendly (above and beyond-- the young woman who has helped me each time we've visited has long dark hair and a kick-ass manicure, and she is fantastic), and the restaurant is super clean/seems to be following all guidelines. Really appreciate their efforts to keep customers and staff safe. On to the food! Oh man, the PASTOR. There is so much flavor packed into this meat option. The al pastor taco combo is my favorite so far, although I have been exploring other avenues to get pastor to my face. The burrito was really yummy as well. Their salsas are fresh and flavorful, and I really appreciate that their staff isn't stingy with it-- they ask what varieties you'd like when you pick up your takeout order, and always humor me when I ask for all of the things. My husband's go-to, which as mentioned above he now says is his favorite quesadilla ever, is the El Trio Quesadilla. That sucker is MASSIVE, almost more like a flat burrito and loaded up with cheese, chicken, carne asada, and carnitas. Think there are some peppers and onions in there too. It comes with sour cream and guac, and just like the pastor dishes, it's mega flavorful. Thrilled that we were reminded about this place-- we have our spot here in Atascadero for breakfast burritos, but for lunch or dinner, Orale is hands down a new favorite. read more

Orale is hands down the best. There's a gazillion Mexican eateries around, but Orale is IT! Always fresh, perfect, amazingly delicious- the deliciousness and quality of Orale goes above and beyond. I stumbled upon Orale by accident while at Art in the Park a few years ago. I wasn't feeling well, and needed food pronto before I passed out. I got the street tacos . Man, it was just what the doctor ordered!!! The best medicine EVER. The employees are always friendly and welcoming. And my order has never, ever been wrong. Feels like going in to get the best meal cooked by the best Mexican mama ever! Truly comfort food. As far as I am concerned l, there is no other Mexican food but Orale. And I don't care if Paso charges $$$$$ for parking, I gotta have my Orale fix and I'll sell my soul to get it! read more

Simple decor, delicious tacos. 'Nuf said. This is a very down to earth small taqueria in the middle of Paso Robles. While it looks like a run-of-the-mill taqueria, it's a bIt cleaner and less greasy. Ordered tacos, and they are unassuming. Corn tortillas, meat, onions, cilantro and salsa. The best stuff is usually simple - and in this case the simplicity allowed the meat to shine. Consider this a superb taco truck with nice seating. read more

I just discovered Orale and I am really glad I did. From now on, I will definitely try to to stop in whenever I am in the area. If you like Chile Verde - this place will make you happy. They cook up the perfect chile verde - tender, zesty, with just a touch of heat. I enjoyed mine in burrito form. The ($9 something after tax) regular burrito made me a happy gal for 2 lunches in a row. That's right - their portions are generous. The inside is clean, airy and modern but feels a bit stuffy on a warm day. There is a nice outdoor seating area which I enjoyed. I also noticed they sell beer. The only downside would be a modest salsa selection and no pickled carrots, but the flavors of the food make up for it. Check it out! read more
