Recommended -- YES! If you're missing California's home of the carne asada burrito and three rolled tacos, this is the spot. Órale!! By far the best tasting Hispanic/across-the-border taste around, with a salsa bar to die for. And yes -- they've got it right here in Pinehurst! Don't miss their Taco Tuesday! read more

The food was delicious and the service was great! There is a nice taco bar to add any toppings to your entree. There's an outdoor patio option. Cool vibes, quick, easy, and laid back. Options for everyone including kids menu. Very reasonable pricing!! read more

Beware!! My family ate here last week, my husband and I both had chicken tacos and both got food poisoning!

Let's just say--I walked in skeptical and walked out a little turned on by chorizo. Yep. It was that good. We tried the taquitos, chicken tacos, and chorizo tacos. The taquitos were solid, but the real MVPs were the tacos. I'm a full-blown taco elitist (like, I judge you if you say "hard shell"), and even I was pleased. The chorizo? Chef's kiss. You could taste the cinnamon, and it had that gorgeous little char that lets you know someone back there actually cares. The chicken was juicy and cooked perfectly--not that dry, sad poultry you regret ordering. Nope, this was done right. Bonus points for the salsa bar--they weren't messing around. A bunch of choices, levels of heat, and that avocado salsa? A personal love story. I may or may not have licked the little plastic cup like a raccoon in heat. It was busy for Thursday night, but the service was quick. Best Mexican food I've had in Moore County hands down. Go here. Now. read more

Second visit - I'll be back! I'd look at the menu in advance, so you understand how their system works (it can be a little overwhelming, especially with a line waiting behind you). They'll bring chips & salsa to you as you wait for meal to arrive. Salsa bar is great. My favorite rice of any restaurant. read more

Orale Taco Bar - Fish tacos - Mexican Near Me - Southern Pines, North Carolina

Cool place for a quick meal. Really clean and inviting on the inside. Nice salsa bar, jalapeños, or whatever you need. Fast friendly service. My particular fajitas could've had a bit more flavor, but still they were very tasty. The veggies were very fresh, felt like getting a healthy meal. The fajitas were not oily, you could tell the veggies were fresh, the proteins were freshly grilled. My buddies loved the burritos and enchiladas. Chips and salsa was very good, you can just opt and get other salsa off of the bar. Really cool place for a quick meal. Easy to substitute all beans for rice, or however, you want your combinations. This would be a great place to have down by me in Florida. read more

0/0. Do not eat here if you have an allergy. Staff could not communicate or understand my ask when asking what items are gluten free. Was not willing to check seasoning ingredients. No allergen guide available and not allowed to speak with anyone from the kitchen. read more

This has quickly become my favorite taco place in the area. No others can compete as far as flavor goes! This isn't your traditional sit down and order place, it has a walk-up to counter where you order. Very friendly customer service and they are quick to bring you chips and salsa once you sit down. The food is always served HOT and fresh and most importantly, CONSISTENT! My family and I try to go once a week to get the Quesabirria taco plate it is SO good that we can't bring ourselves to order anything else when we visit, it's THAT good. They also make a guacamole that will make your tastebuds sing songs to your soul. 10/10! read more

Good food and good service. We are happy to find a good taco in Pinehurst. I got the pork belly tacos, which were okay, but my husband got two simple tacos with ground beef on hard shells, and those were fantastic! Very fresh. And they have beer and spirits, next time we will have a modelo. read more

Since I moved here my friend has been recommending I try this place which also happens to be right next to the grocery that I work at and finally one night we both went there together. It is a cool little spot to get some Mexican food quickly and also very delicious. It has the authenticity of Mexican atmosphere and Also the modernness of everyday life. The service was great, nothing I thought was particularly exceptional but we were helped in a timely and thoughtful manner . The only thing I didn't like about my food was the fajitas as I like them to be a little more crispy and grilled but that's just my personal opinion, other than it was a good experience. read more

Pros: -Chorizo nachos are delicious Cons: -If I have to tip prior to food or service, especially if I'm expected to bus my own table, I'm not going to tip much. Would return! read more

Not gonna lie, we've been putting this place off just because we hadn't heard much about it but we went tonight and they were phenomenal. Great food, fast service AND kid friendly! So glad we found this location and gave them a chance. My husband said, "It's like an even better Chipotle." We WILL be back and we WILL suggest this to our friends and family. All the pics are half eaten because we weren't expecting it to be as good as it was! read more

Unfortunately I ate the food so fast I forgot to take a photo. I have been here several times and each time the service is great as well as fast. The food is excellent and the price point is good too. You won't be disappointed. read more

Thought I'd try Órale Taco Bar the other night. I've read reviews on how well their food is. I've got to say it was incredibly good. I had the steak soft tacos with refried beans and rice. The steak was delicious with a nice chard flavour. The refried beans were creamy like they should be and the rice was perfect. Now the sketchy area was the service as I ate inside and it got confusing on recieving my order to the table. But it all worked out in the end and yes I will be returning to try some more off of Orale's menu. read more

I came here for the first time with my sister's, we really enjoyed the food and service!! Definitely will be making our way back soon. read more

Absolutely the best Mexican food in town. We went to Vaquera across the street and paid twice as much for flavorless food. Orale has a great staff and fast service. We had the fish tacos and enjoyed all of the sauces on the taco bar. Perfect patio for a cold beer and a fun date night. read more

Delicious is the best way to describe this restaurant! My grandson and I have eaten here two times last week. The food is fresh, very tasty and plentiful. We ordered both times the two taco combo with all the condiments you want from the salsa bar. I could drink their salsa with a hint of tequila it's that good read more

The chicken quesadillas were amazing. My daughters also loved them and the rice. Very clean, great service!

Great food. But the customer service is awful unfortunately. Do not place a phone order. They apparently don't know how to take one, sadly.

This place is perfect. It's clean, vibrant, friendly with a great vibe. The food is even better. Incredibly diverse menu executed perfectly for both taco aficionados like me and those who prefer bowls like my wife. I will continue to come back here and I've added this into my normal rotation of Taco spots, perhaps the best on the list ! read more

Quesabirria tacos are delicious. So are the beans and rice. Clean, friendly staff, and good amount of food for the price.

Been here twice, really good! Will be back for sure. The tacos are excellent. I've tried shredded chicken, carnitas, and barbacoa beef - they were all so delicious. Ground beef enchilada with rice and beans combo was tasty too. Staff is nice too, check this place out! read more

I really like the food here, it's some of the more authentic taqueria style food in the area. The staff is always helpful and friendly, let's me know what they have special. It's a taqueria where you order at the register, but it is nice and upscale feeling. read more
