Some friends who've lived in Latin America for 40 years visited so we wanted to go to the most authentic (or at east most tasty) Mexican. Yelp ratings told us this happened to be close to our house to boot. My wife and I both had the taco salad with chicken (lots of it, btw). Both our guest had meat dishes, which I forgot to record. One was almost surely a steak fajita, the other had a ham (and chicken?) dish with rice and lettuce. All declared VERY good. Service was fast and friendly - our waitress spoke English and Spanish. Ambiance - a typical ethnic location. Nothing fancy. Don't let that stop you if you want good Mexican. Once more, Yelpers, you've helped us out in a pinch! read more

Went to lunch Easter Sunday with friends. Ordered the chicken soup. It came with rice and corn tortillas. Pretty large bowl of soup. It contained various vegetables. The broth was seasoned well. Tasted even better the day after. I ate a lot of chips and salsa before lunch arrived. The chips are thin and crispy. So yummy. The service is always top notch. The place was packed with people. That is always a good sign. Restaurant was clean and tidy. Had to wait a little bit before being seated as they were cleaning the table. There is a bakery available with a lot of goodies. We did not try any Sunday since we were full from lunch. I will come back to try other entrees and have the chips and salsa. The bathroom was organized and clean. read more

Loveeee Orale down!!! The tacos are delicious, the staff is always friendly. I ordered by daughter's birthday cake from here and it was genuinely the best birthday cake ever. Will be a repeat customer for life because what's better than tacos and cakes??? Lol read more

We come here so often we might as well start paying them rent. The service is always amazing, the food is ALWAYS fresh and delicious and the desserts are beautiful and taste great. We have tried so many places in Memphis, New York City, Florida, North Carolina and many more places and none of them have ever come close to Orale. The meat is always so full of flavor and juicy. Their salsa is the BEST salsa we have ever had. They constantly have new desserts in their bakery windows. I would recommend this place over and over again. Today, we came in for lunch for our 15th wedding anniversary and once again, it was exceptional! They have also recently remodeled the dining area and it looks great. Love their menus and the atmosphere in general. There is something for everyone here. read more

We had a delicious family dinner at Órale! The space is relaxed, very clean, and surprisingly spacious (at least 6 6-person tables inside, maybe more). Soccer was playing on a few scattered screens. As we got started, the chips were crispy, the guacamole nice and chunky with plenty of lime and cilantro, the house salsas spicy and flavorful, and the queso warmly melty (I mixed mine with the green salsa! Yum!). Several of us got street tacos (chicken, shrimp, and chorizo), and none of us were disappointed. My kids asked for seconds! We also ordered a baby burrito off the kids' menu, but my kids were more interested in the tacos. I had the caldo de pollo, which was a delicious brothy soup with tender chicken legs, carrots, sliced zucchini, a little corn cob, and came with lime, chiles, rice, cilantro, and onion to add to taste, as well as tortillas. The broth was flavorful-it was perfect. Seems like just the chicken soup the doctor ordered for a sick day (and great for a well day, too!). Others got a burrito and red and green enchiladas---we were all very satisfied and interested in coming back another time! And then we had dessert. WOW! The tres leches is incredible, and the tiramisu was very nice as well. My kids tried some mango gelatin but quickly pivoted toward the tres leches. The next morning my kids got to try the pastries they had selected from the well-stocked pastry case (think guava danish, conchas, sugar cookies, and so much more): an elephant ear and a glazed croissant. They were very into them. We will be back!! read more

Orale Tacos and Bakery is a clean small place. We dined in. We were taken care of right away. They brought out chips and salsa and we added a side of small queso. The first round of chips are free but if you get a refill then it costs. I ordered the enchilada dinner with horchata. First sip of horchata and I was sold. It was sweet, creamy and without the chalky aftertaste. My friend got their nachos and enjoyed. They have a small bakery so we picked up a few things to go. Overall a great experience. read more

When I walked it, it smelled just like a bakery! The waitress was very polite and kind as I took my time to decide. She was able to let me have samples of the different auga frescas to help me decide on the hibiscus one. My food was exceptional. Fresh packed with flavor and stuffed with meat. I cannot wait to visit again. read more

Great breakfast tacos and very friendly staff and nice atmosphere . Will definitely go back

This place was so good. Came in for the first time and don't let the outside fool you, inside is bright and super clean. Got the chilaquiles with egg and steak, get it if you can. Wish there was a bit more crunch to the tortillas, but the flavor was amazing. Good coffee with a hint of cinnamon. Got some pan dulce to go and that was really good too. Service was quick and super friendly. I'll be back with friends. read more

I will make this as short as possible so you have the time to order and get this food delivered or drive to their location. Do you love authentic Mexican food? Have you lived near or in Mexico? Are you a person who wants to broaden their pallet's horizon? What about your symptoms of craving legit street tacos or fresh salsa or salsa verde with the proper spice levels. Do you identify with any of this, and want to wash it all down with a tall cold glass bottle of Coca Cola made from cane sugar? Then let me prescribe Orale Tacos and Bakery. I am from San Diego, but unfortunately I am not LatinX, which means I did not have a parent, or a legendary Abuelita to set the standard for what would be considered delicious. If you are like me in this, then please choose to dine at Orale Tacos. If you do, all will be well with your soul. read more

We ordered a street taco, a breakfast taco, and a breakfast burrito The tacos and burritos were all amazing and the pastry was good as well!

This place has been here for about 8 months, so it's still fairly new to the area. I wish I saw that they had more customers, because they certainly deserve the popularity that many other places get. The woman who helped take our order & answer any questions was very sweet! Like other posts suggest, I do believe it is family-ran, and it shows with the homemade deliciousness they serve each customer. There is a bakery area with tongs & trays (pictured), so you can select pastries yourself and in a clean manner. They have a kids menu, a breakfast menu, and so many other options. There are 3 fridges stocked with a variety of beverages (pictured). They also offer homemade, fresh horchata and agua frescas! In one of the fridges, you'll find homemade chilled treats such as, what I believe to be, tres leche with fresh strawberries! Which was amazing by the way... one of, if not THE best, tres leche I've had! Their horchata was clearly homemade, fresh, and equally as amazing. So refreshing! I cannot express enough how good these were! We ordered a pastor torta & a chicken burrito (I requested no beans nor tomato). The portions were huge! See for yourself or check my pictures to see! The pastor does include a very generous portion of jalapeños, so if you're not a fan, do request to leave them off. It was hard to take a good picture of the torta, but know it was huge & it was packed! It wasn't just big in size but big in flavor too! Very tasty indeed. : ) It will make for a great lunch tomorrow. The chicken for the burrito was marinated in a red (likely tomato-based) sauce, but it was not spicy nor thick. The burrito was so delicious and will also make a great lunch for the next day. Their menu looks so good, with menudo, huevos rancheros, barbacoa, gorditas, and so much more. I will certainly be trying all their options and their bakery goods! They're open every day: 7 am to 8 pm. Lots of open seating, and a great staff! read more

To keep it short and simple the bakery/restaurant is exceptional. The best beef Torta i have ever had. The bread was baked from scratch it was filling and very affordable. I also highly recommend the agua frescas which was delicious and refreshing. The staff was also so kind and patient with me deciding what to ear. The business was welcoming and modern on the inside as well. read more

I ordered today via doordash after watchdogging the Codorniz and menudo for a week. I've had both dishes at another local spot, but I wanted to spread my support and patronize it here, and boyyy, I don't regret it. Both dishes were absolutely delicious and flavorful. Soooo much food for an affordable cost. I forgot to take a picture of the chorizo-queso because it literally was so good, it didnt last 10 minutes! I'm definitely going to be a returning customer! read more

Wonderful little gem of a Mexican restaurant and bakery Home made real food! Love the street tacos and big burritos plus i can bring home a nice pastry for dessert read more

The word the órale in Spanish means yes, ok, come on, alright then, so anyway, yo, whoa, wow, hey, wow, watch out! The words perfectly describe the excellent food. Founded in January 2023, Orale provides a bakery as well as takeout and dine in made to order meals. I tried the steak sope(s) and chicken gordita. Really fresh overlayed at your choosing with bitingly delishes green and red salsas in squirt bottles. Great mix of soft breading and crispy lettuce. These two items were just right for a full meal. And reasonably priced! No complaints--I would be glad to go back. A perfectly authentic neighborhood Mexican bakery and eatery! read more

Excellent, authentic Mexican food and great service! What more can you ask for? Decided to give this place a try after searching for food near me - seeing as this place is fairly new, with good (Yelp) ratings :) Carne Asada Buritto was delicious and the portion generous. Food was priced as something quick serve, but the experience was full service. Meal came with whole shebang, chips and salsa! They even threw in some samples of their pastries fresh from their in-house bakery. I can only imagine what their tortas taste like with the fresh bread (drooling)! Highly recommend this place! read more

I'm coming out of Yelp! retirement to scream from the rooftops that everyone needs to get their butts to Orale Tacos & Bakery and keep these great people in business! Since Las Palmitas closed in nearby Bartlett there hasn't been anything close to their quality of food and service near here. I don't know what took me so long to find this place but I'm sure glad I did. The food is wonderful and everything I've tried so far is delicious. Hefty portions, delicious food, cool vibe and great service is a great combination. I hope everyone reading this gives them a try.
