I ordered two fish tacos. This is the first place I've gone to that has options for the fish tacos (tilapia, salmon, red snapper, breaded tilapia or shrimp). I ordered one taco with breaded tilapia and one taco with salmon. For those with dairy allergies or lactose intolerance, the orange sauce does contain crema. The other sauces did not contain dairy. The chips and salsa were only $2 and came with a spicy salsa (not pico de gallo). I was able to order a small side of pico de gallo for about $1!! read more

Today I was stuck at home with a sick pup, but I still ordered DoorDash and wanted to try something new. This was the first time I had ever tried food from this restaurant. I'm not sure how authentic I would call it. I say that because there were black olives in the nacho fries. I ordered one carne asada street taco, an enchilada dinner plate, and carne asada nacho fries. I ordered a lot of food with the intention of having leftovers for later. They use quality packaging for their to-go orders. There were no issues there. I was not incredibly impressed with the flavor of the meat. It was just okay. I was not completely dissatisfied by it, but we have a lot of options here in San Jose and I'm unsure that I would order from them again. I cannot speak to the ambiance of the restaurant because I haven't actually set foot in the restaurant itself. This place is very close to my apartment. Perhaps I should pay them a visit one day. read more

Orale Baja Mex Grill in Campbell is a solid Baja-style spot and one I'd happily come back to. The red snapper taco was a standout--it's the first grilled fish taco I've actually enjoyed. I usually lean toward fried fish tacos in the traditional Baja style, but this one was flavorful, well-cooked, and didn't feel dry or heavy. The California burrito is legit. If you're looking for a true SoCal / San Diego-style California burrito with fries inside, this is the move. Just note that it does include avocado, which may or may not be your thing. Beer on tap is a huge plus, with a mix of local options along with Modelo and Pacifico, which pair perfectly with the food. The salsa setup is excellent: Tapatío, green habanero El Yucateco, plus three fresh house-made salsas in squeeze bottles. The orange is mild and creamy, the green is bright and zesty, and the red is smoky with a solid kick--all very good. Service was fantastic, and there's plenty on the menu left to explore. I'd come back to try the breaded tilapia, shrimp cocktail, and more. If you like Tacos El Compa Taqueria, Taqueria Extra, or Taqueria Las Vegas, this place should be right up your alley. read more

Great food! The beans and rice are the best! Customer service is exceptional and they offer a great selection for a great price. Marvin is very accommodating and attentive to my needs as a customer and Maria makes the BEST food. This is my new favorite Mexican restaurant. read more

After over a decade, this Mexican restaurant is still THE best! I cannot find any Mexican restaurant that is any better than this local Bay Area favorite. The food never ceases to be great, the customer service and friendly atmosphere never falls below exceptional. I continue to come to this restaurant no matter where I live in Nor Cal. Have traveled great distances to just be here because, to me it feels like home. It always has a welcoming vibe and the comfort of familiarity. The homemade recipes never disappoint and you simply cannot go wrong with anything you order. I have brought friends, family, and even had a party hosted here, I love it THAT much. May look like an average taco shack, but looks can be deceiving, give it a try, I guarantee you will be telling you friends and family, you must try Orales. read more

Another one of those spots that I've driven by thousands of times and always said I needed to try. Many, many years later, I finally got here and am so glad that I did, and of course wished I did sooner! Service was super friendly, we were greeted with a warm welcome before we even got to the counter. Placed our order at the counter and grabbed a table on the patio. They have a nice outdoor patio with a handful of tables and a good amount of seating inside, it was definitely bigger than I expected from seeing it from the street. I got the two fish taco special with grilled tilapia and a my boyfriend fish burrito with breaded tilapia. Both the grilled and breaded fish were fantastic, flaky, and flavorful! I loved that the breading was light and not all greasy and fried tasting. They had 3 different salsa ranging from mild to medium and hot. We also went back and ordered chips and salsa once our food came. We came on a nice warm Friday evening a little before 6, when we first got there there was only 1 other group, but by the time we left the place and parking lot was packed! Excited to come back and try some of their other plates and meats! read more

Orale? More like Oh, really? The expectation from delicious Mexican cuisine, with an emphasis on fish, made me salivate with anticipation. That anticipation was decimated and slowly changed into bewilderment each passing bite. Taco salads is an amazing and deletable creations, albeit not authentically Mexican at all. I just enjoy the fish because it's an excuse to devour a giant taco as a bowl. However, this particular salad didn't make me want to devour anything. It made me appreciate other taco salads and the future mini taco salad Taco Bell will release soon. The taco shell is the most important part. It's the structure of the entire dish, and that structure was ruined! Tasted older than my grandma I visited an hour prior. The salsas were mid and tasteless and had as much flavor and zest as my dry humor. Random olives were scattered about. The fish (Tilapia is what I ordered) was pretty nonexistent like my dms. All I tasted was lettuce and beans. There was no rice. I like rice. I heard there used to be rice in this specific taco salad. Other taco salads I've had has rice. This had no rice. All I tasted was lettuce and beans. No bueno. read more

Firstly it's not a fancy place, but the food and the service more than make up for any lacking in the decor, I come to eat not to have really pretty surroundings. Outside covered dining is available, quite nice. IMO the food is top notch and well presented, I absolutely love their fish tacos, technically shrimp, which are always perfect. They make their own sauces. Great range of craft beers and of course Mexican sodas and a few Mexican beers. Do yourself a favor and check them out. read more

The outdoor patio was nice to sit on while eating my burrito. Only 5 outdoor tables. Kind of loud because of the street and parking lot. My burrito was ok, lots of rice and kind of spicy. The tostada looked good. Prices were ok. read more

I had an hour to kill and was starving so my son and I popped in to Orale. It was a cold , stormy day and comfort food was in order!!!

Don't miss out on the 3 different salsa in the fridge- grab yourself- I had to learn this! Enjoy. read more

ORANGE SAUCE! But more on that later! I originally stumbled on Orale during my search for a taco salad in the area. Their Taco Salad includes lettuce, beans, cheese, olives, pico de gallo, sour cream, guacamole, and your choice of protein all in a fried flour tortilla bowl. My only request would be for them to include rice in it as well! For the protein, I really like that you can choose a meat even a fish! Meat options include carne asada, grilled chicken, shredded chicken, carnitas, and chile verde. Fish options include tilapia, salmon, red snapper, and breaded cod. I opted for the red snapper to try something different and enjoyed it! I tried some of the Meat Chimichanga with chicken too, and this was good! It was a pretty decent sized burrito with rice, cheese, refried beans, and meat in a fried flour tortilla with sour cream, pico, and guac on top. Now for the sauces! They have squeeze bottles of their three different sauces in the fridge in the dining area. You can grab your own to use, or you can fill a mini plastic containers to add to your to-go order. They have a red, orange, and green sauce. The green sauce has a little more of a kick than the other two, but my favorite was definitely the orange sauce! Adds such great flavor!! Parking lot is shared with a couple other businesses, but I didn't have any trouble finding a spot on a Friday evening. You place your order at the counter, and they'll give you a number to place on your table. Seat yourself, either indoors or on their outdoor patio, and someone will bring your food to you. They have plastic utensils on the counter, but I think that's for to-go orders only, since when we were brought out food, they also brought us metal utensils and napkins. Regular hot sauce bottles (like Tapatio) were already on the table too! read more

After a long day of errands, my girlfriend and I stumbled upon Orale while craving a delicious burrito with chips and salsa--and it didn't disappoint! The person taking our order was nice and I asked him for recommendations. He said the most popular is the carne asada but his favorite is the pastor. Pastor Cali Burrito I went for the pastor Cali burrito, and it was fantastic. The fries were super crispy, the al pastor was juicy and well-seasoned, and the cool avocado added a perfect bite. The highlight? Grabbing the orange sauce and avocado salsa from the fridge--an unbeatable combo that elevated the whole experience. Carne Asada Cali Burrito My girlfriend had the carne asada Cali burrito, and it was equally impressive. You just can't go wrong with a classic carne asada burrito done right. Chips and Salsa The chips were perfectly crisp and light, paired with a salsa that had a fresh, vibrant flavor. Whether house-made or sourced, the quality was undeniable, adding the perfect crunch to complement our meal. The place is somewhat nice but needs a bit of updating but that doesn't matter to much for me as long as it serves me food like this all the time. We're already planning our next visit to try the super burrito with rice and a shrimp burrito. This place is definitely on our list of regular spots now! read more

The food was excellent! This is our second visit, and once again, we were thoroughly impressed.

Orale is next to my barbershop, so decided to stop by for a quick lunch. I ordered a California Burrito. Its been awhile since I've had one and I completely forgot that it meant fries replaced the rice haha. Nonetheless, it was pretty good. Salsas were good. Staff was friendly and they have a pretty good list of beers on tap. Will be back to try their steak burritos and tacos in the future! Parking available in the plaza. They have outdoor seating as well. read more

Fire ass burrito. I got the grilled chicken and I was shocked on how juicy the chicken was. Everything was fresh, horchata was delicious. And that orange special sauce though.... Wow. read more

Service was fast and friendly and prices were real reasonable. I got the cheese enchilada plate. I didn't love the enchiladas though. The sauce was way too tomato-y (and I usually love red sauce too but just tasted like tomato sauce), and they were lukewarm (I generally don't ask for things to be reheated since experiences has been they just microwave them lol). The cheese sprinkled on top wasn't even melted. The beans were pretty good, could have used more cheese. The rice was fluffy, not super flavorful but okay. Chips were just okay as well, tasted a bit dry. Salsa was pretty good. Believe they were $1.99 (not free here FYI). read more

I was looking for a good taco bar to be catered for my dad's Celebration of Life service. Marvin was amazing! We went prior to check out the food and restaurant and it's a great location and food is top notch. They catered for 60 and 75 people ended up showing up and every single person was fed and let me know how great the food was. The food was hot and brought it actual chafing dishes with stereos and not just the foil pans. I feel he charged a fair price and they so very kind and helpful as well. Quite a few family and friends are local and they have now gained them as new customers. I highly recommend Orale for not only a catered event but also to have a very yummy lunch or dinner. Thanks again Marvin! read more

Quick service. Friendly staff. Fresh fish! So many delicious options. The fish tacos are amazing.

Ordered carna asda nachos, and Mexican Coke. Nachos were fully loaded, guac, sour cream, black olives, pickled jalapeños, refried beans, pico.. great flavor .... But who doesn't melt the cheese? Place is clean, counter service, and all that, but come on they are nachos... melt the cheese. They have 4 house made salsas, or so it seemed. They are in squeeze bottles in a cooler. I would say fire roasted, verde, roja and orange. Nothing is overly spicy, green stands out for flavor profile, others kinda taste the same. The place is known for fish so my bad on the non fish order.. maybe next time shrimp.. not so bad won't try it again, but not the nachos. read more

Orale Baja Mex Grill - California Burrito - Seafood Near Me - Campbell, California

Honestly one of the best burritos I've ever had and they had salmon as an option. Paired with the orange salsa is perfect, no notes

Came here on a whim after a hike. It's a quaint restaurant that reminds me of a diner that truckers would visit as a pitstop- very vintage. Both the indoor and outdoor seating options are small and limited, and their bathrooms are single-occupancy rooms that are attached to the side of the building and require a key (with a ruler? attached to it). I shared two taco fish tacos (Red Snapper, Breaded Halibut) and a California burrito with my boyfriend. The fish tacos were ok, they mainly comprised of the shredded lettuce, and the taco shells ended up soggy. Remedies to this are adding more fish to the tacos and heating the taco shells on a pan or something. The California burrito was good though on the small side. They have three different sauces kept in the fridge which are good, and I recommend the orange sauce. read more

The service was super sweet and very homey. Felt welcomed right walking in and the decor was very clean yet so authentic. Thankful for the complimentary horchata and the wonderful advice on all the salsas. I LOVEDDDDD the chipotle salsa. I kept eating and eating the delectable goodness. The food was soo good and thankful I found a spot with the most authentic horchata in the bay. I have had over 15+ and this hit the spot by FARRRR read more

I had driven past this place so many times and wanted to give it a try for their fish tacos. I ordered a 2 fish tacos meal with breaded halibut to go. The man at the counter was really nice and we received our to go order in about ten minutes. He gave us some extra sauces too. When I got home and opened my meal, I was shocked. The fish in my taco was a tiny thin hard piece of so called halibut. I ate it and it was super crunchy and all batter. I honestly didn't even get any fish was eating fried batter, tortilla, and cabbage. It was such a disappointment and a complete waste of money. The whole thing even gave me a stomach ache. My husbands fish burrito had the same issue and he was really dissatisfied. This establishment shouldn't be giving their customers this- it's so terrible. I really hope they fix this issue. I certainly won't be eating here ever again. read more

Of the many taquerias around, Orale Baja is hands down the most successful: they have fresh ingredients, friendly staff, perfect amount of menu items, and delicious dishes, topped with a variety of salsas! I've been here plenty and I'm never dissatisfied. The nachos and meat burrito are my favorites! I tried the taco salad today, and it was very filling. The one thing about this dish is that it has romaine lettuce so the salad mixture can become a bit watery. Other than that the taco shell is perfectly delicious. What's not to love! read more

Came here while looking for some Taco Tuesday Specials, and didn't quite find them...but I was happy enough to find another place that offered pretty good Mexican food. I didn't quite know what to order, so the lady at the counter said that their fish tacos were probably the most popular. Something to take note of though, is that they're not that big. They were a little bit more pricey than I would have liked, but I think that's also because I'm used to cheaper prices of Mexican food down in San Diego. But the quality of the tacos were pretty good, and I ordered a couple of other meat tacos. They put all of the tacos in the same to-go box which was fine, but you may need to watch out for that, in case you are sharing tacos with a more strict vegetarian. I'll probably come back to check out their burritos and see what the quality is like. But I did appreciate all of the ingredients that they put into the tacos, even though they weren't that big. The ingredients all tasted fresh and were very flavorful too. My only complaint is the price and the size. Other than that, they were pretty good! Hope to try out more on their menu next time. read more

Delicious. We were just in the neighborhood on a Sat afternoon and found this nice taqueria for lunch. Nice vibes with outdoor seating, cozy indoor seating where a dad was playing chess with his daughter in one of the booths. Service was very friendly. The food was great too! I had the salmon burrito. Love that you have like 4 choices of fish including red snapper, salmon, halibut, and can't remember. All the burritos come with grilled peppers and onions. Yes! How it's done! Also had the salmon taco and shrimp taco which were deemed delicious! We'll definitely be back when in the area. read more
