Within minutes we received chips with two variations of salsa and pickled vegetables. The menu is extensive and offers a large selection of drinks and food options. I had the super chicken burrito and it was massive. I barely finished a quarter of it ! It was filled with lettuce , well seasoned chicken , tomatoes, and cheese. It was complimented with rice and beans. My husband had the Combinancion Cuatro- skirt steak, cheese enchilada , cheese chile relleno , rice and beans. The steak was tender and juicy and even though a half portion, it was more than expected. The complimentary fried banana dessert was the perfect ending.The food here is absolutely incredible. But what impressed me just as much was the stellar service. The staff was fast, friendly, and attentive the whole time . Great food and a wonderful team make this place a must-visit!

This is a solid, casual place to fulfill your Mexican food needs. Service was quick and friendly,…read moreand the place has a nice, local, casual vibe that you just want to go and support. It was a little confusing initially because there's a walk up register to order, so I thought I'd order up there when I was ready, but when I sat down to wait for a friend, I got waited on. So I guess both things are true. You get free chips and salsa at the table, which is always great, and I want to give a shoutout to having additional salsas in squeezable bottles at the table you can add to your liking to your food. Yum!

First off, let's talk about the food it's genuinely amazing. Every single meat dish we tried was…read moreincredibly well seasoned and bursting with flavor. You know how sometimes meats can be a bit bland. Not here.They really nail the taste and tenderness and the people working there, Just lovely. The waiter and the lady at the register were both super friendly and welcoming, which always makes for a great experience. Okay, onto the specifics, I started with a burrito de asada, and seriously, it was perfect. It was put together so nicely, packed full, and they even included rice inside, which was a delicious surprise. Super satisfying and felt like great value for the price. Then I branched out and tried a couple of their gorditas one with steak and another with chorizo. Again, both meats were incredibly tasty and really well prepared. Now, a little heads up, their gorditas are a bit unique. Instead of the usual pouch you stuff, they cut the entire top off, so it's more like an open faced sandwich. It was different, but honestly, it was still super delicious and easy to eat. We also shared a taco dinner, and those were fantastic too. The prices overall are really reasonable, especially for the quality you're getting. Oh, and you absolutely must try their horchata, it's seriously good and so refreshing.The place itself is pretty chill. They have a TV on, and it was generally quiet, which is nice for a relaxed meal. It's not a huge spot, with a few tables and booths, but what really caught my eye was how many people were coming in for takeout orders. That's always a good sign that it's a popular local favorite. Honestly, if you're ever looking for a top notch taco shop nearby, this one is probably one of the best I've encountered. You definitely won't be disappointed.

I finally found the right time to try this place, being in the mood for a dine-in Mexican dinner…read more It's a nice place with pleasant servers, and kudos to the guy who filled my water 3 times. I was torn between a chicken mole dinner or just good old tacos. I opted for the tacos Al pastor with rice and beans. I have had Al pastor at many, many places, and it's been interesting to see people's takes on the recipes. These were, hands down, the best I've had anywhere. The meat was charred nicely, yet tender. The marinade/sauce had the perfect balance between the sweetness of the pineapple and the counterbalance of the lime, cilantro, and onion. I was so proud of my selection, that I ordered some to-go for my daughter to try. I also had a delicious strawberry margarita and finished off with a tres leches dessert. Everything was superb! I'll be back for that mole someday, and will also try their Taco Tuesday. Judging from my food, as well as the presentations of others choices that I noticed, I believe their chef is seriously talented and creative.

My wife and I are pretty stuffed right now! I had the quesabirria tacos and she had a spicy shrimp dish with avocado and tortillas. Oh, and we had the nachos with a flight of 5 delicious salsas, as an appetizer. In the end, Orale felt different. It had a city vibe to it. We dug it and will be back for more. Near Hanover Park and in the mood for some Mexican cuisine? Check out Orale!

I gotta say, we've been in Schaumburg but haven't yet tried all the restaurants in the area (god…read moreknows we've been working on it!). So, one fine day I was picking up some dry cleaning down Roselle, and as I turned onto Schaumburg Rd to head home, I saw this place- remembered I was hungry- and promptly turned in! I got there just before 5pm, and was - by all accounts - their first customer of the night! I asked to sit on the patio, and (because I had to ask) checked to see if the patio was dog-friendly - it is! Hmm. Gotta bring puppy next time! The young lady sat me down, brought over a drinks menu and a food menu, and I promptly ordered a Cadillac Cocktail! Oh my! It was BIG- and GOOD. Damn! Highly recommended! A bowl of warm chips and salsa came right on it - on the house- and I began munching away while I pondered the menu. So - I decided on the Enchiladas Suizas with verde sauce! Oh - and with a choice of meat (I chose ground beef, but pollo was also on the board too!). As I was slowly drinking the Cadillac and munching on the chips, I gotta say I liked the THICK chips and the salsa had a nice little kick to it. If that's what you like? You'll LIKE it! My enchiladas suizas came out piping hot a short time later, and I began munchin' 'em down! VERY nice! If you like friendly, prompt service AND good food and drink? HIGHLY recommend you stop on it!

I loved the painted mural, patterned tiling, and feature lights. My husband and I visited to enjoy their Mix & Match Taco special on Tuesdays. We tried all four of the tacos apart of the special and thoroughly enjoyed the flavor. The favorite by far was the Al Pastor followed by the Carne Asada & Tacos Americanos. The taco shells seem freshly pressed and we both enjoyed the corn over flour. The complimentary chips and salsa were definitely a medium heat but chips are served fresh and hot. Their regular prices are a bit of a premium but food is good quality and portions. I would certainly come back to try more of their offerings in the future! Notable Specials: -Monday's: $8 Cheese Quesadillas & $7 House Margaritas -Tuesday's: $3 Mix & Match Tacos (Tacos Americanos, Al Pastor, Carnitas, and Carne Asada Tacos only; minimum 3 to an order) -Wednesday's: Half Priced Sangria

Our waitress was very nice and did her best. I requested pico on the side so I could give it to my cousin, but one of my dishes still came with tomatoes, which I'm allergic to. By the time our waitress made it back to our table, my food was no longer hot, and we were ready to leave, so I didn't mention it. On the positive side, the drinks were good, there's plenty of parking, and the prices are pretty reasonable. Overall, it's a decent Mexican spot, but it seems like they could use a little more help during busy times.

I loved that they had an open kitchen to connect the guests with the food. Upon arrival, there were three girls at the host stand and not one looked like they were enjoying life. They unenthusiastically showed us to our high top before returning to their post. Every table gets complimentary chips and salsa which had a nice smokey flavor. Some of the chips were a tad greasy but not bad. We started with the Fat Rosie's Queso Dip with Beef added. I thought it was odd that the dish came out as the queso only and they assumed we should use our same chip basket from the salsa. Either way, the dip had really good flavor! For entree, we shared the Burrito with Ground Beef. I liked that this came with rice and beans on the side. The inside ingredients were sadly layered so one never got a bite with everything at once. The meat was scarce and my half of burrito was mostly shell at the end. The saddest part of our experience was the service. Our waitress never stopped by to ask how our meal was, we had to ask for a water refill as my cup sat empty for at least 10 minutes, and were never offered a chip refill especially since we were eating the salsa and queso. This overall was a miss for my husband and I. We left feeling passed over the whole time and like they just wanted to turn the table over.
