Best Mexican food in Providence. Great to sit on their patio and enjoy the delicious food.

Just another 5/5 stars for one of my fave places in the univerrrssse. I was having a bad day so I took a stroll down to Orale to get the birria combo (3 tacos with consomme for ~$15) & even treated myself to a horchata. It was just pure perfection. The salsa verde sauce they make is my favorite of all time - it's so fresh & sharp & delicious. Once I've finished the tacos I just drink the consomme like it's water. It's SO good. The staff working is super sweet! Just be sure to bring cash to tip, as I've found out the sad way that you can't leave a tip on a card payment here. read more

Super friendly and they have my favorite soda, Mexican squirt! I had a chicken sope and pozole and they were both very very delicious. I wish I lived closer to this place and although I've ordered through Uber eats, it's not the same. Having it fresh is way better! Nonetheless, it's got enough seating area inside, which was nice for a rainy day like today and pozole was perfect for today read more

On dog walks through the West End, and Olneyville I got the chance to try a handful of street taco stands. This one stood out. Consistently, the birria tacos, side of consommé for the dog were perfect. Friendly counter people, definitely look forward to visiting at least once a week read more

Absolutely disgusting. Twice now they have had the nerve to pack up burnt tamales that are obviously extremely old, dry and smelly. The pozole was literally grease with water and garlic flavor. I am appalled at the fact anyone would feel comfortable selling and dispatching an order like that. Will never recommend this place and am convinced the reviews are fake read more

Food is so good and well priced. A hidden gem in the area. Great value for the quality.

We hired Orale Taqueria to cater a work party for our 90 employees and they did a fantastic job! Keyla was excellent at helping us set up the right menu and getting it all organized. The team showed up, set up all the food for the party, and served all our employees...and did this for our 1st and 2nd shifts. The food was hot, tasty, and well prepared. Our employees are still talking about how great the food was and the fabulous job done by the entire Orale's team! read more

Very good tacos and spanish food, not a real building more like a trailer but plenty of space to eat and and food is cheap and filling. Wonderful women working the line. read more

The Al Pastor tacos are the best! Tacos are made to order. I always ask for extra cilantro and onions! Will always order from here. My son usually gets the special tacos and they are good but the regular tacos are my favorite and absolutely delicious read more

SOOOOOOO GOOD it's so nice to have Orale Taquieria on Cranston St. This is me and my families go-to. Food is always so good, fresh, and authentic. Best Mango cups, tacos, and huraches in the area!! So nice they are on uber eats too read more

Best tacos I've had in Providence so far! My friend from CA said this is the closest to CA tacos she had here on the east coast, so that means something. It's only $2/taco, but they really fill you up. I got three asada tacos and a verde tamale. Both were delicious and flavorful! The best thing about this place is the vibe. I came here on a 60 degrees sunny day, so we sat outside under a tent like structure. I can't explain the feeling, but it's very nostalgic and humble. It reminds you of how it's important to appreciate the smaller, hidden things in life. Echoing what others said, bring cash because there is a $1 credit card charge. You can also have them come to your parties/events! read more

The most affordable tacos I've had on the east coast ($2!). They give lots of meat on their tacos and It's so well-seasoned. Also got their quesadilla, which was a good portion of food for $5. Bring cash ($1 charge on credit cards otherwise). read more

If you want amazing, authentic Mexican food, then definitely order and eat here. The best birria, tacos and fresh guacamole.

first birria tacos i ever had that didn't actually give you the birria sauce on the side to dip . tacos were dry and also didn't have cheese . pretty disappointing read more

The food here is soooo good! i've been looking for a place that serves authentic birria tacos and this place is it!! The flavors were to die for and the loaded my tacos up with the birria meat and also had consome! The works here are also very friendly and provide excellent service! 10/10 would definitely recommend!! read more

Orale Taqueria - birria tacos - Mexican Near Me - Providence, Rhode Island

This is the typical restaurant that you drive by but never knew it was a restaurant. Not really a sit-down restaurant, more like a shack. I tried google maps to get here but it kept taking me to a different location. This restaurant is located right near the intersection of Cranston and Dexter St. right across from the Cranston Street Armory. This is strictly a takeout restaurant. The food is authentic and delicious. This is one of those, don't let the outside fool you type of restaurants. Love the Big Burrito, Tacos, and the Guacamole. Great food at very cheap prices. read more

Amazing service! They catered our Christmas party and the food was so good! Also after forgetting all the salsa's and toppings, one of the employees drove them over to us. Such great service. Definitely will continue to use them again. read more

One of the best places to buy tacos and any other mexican plate! The food is delicious the place is great, and personally my favorite always recommended! read more

It's literally a gate in a fence to get to the order window. Yea, what the others say is true - darn good tacos. The pastor were delicious. Like so good, I'd eat there weekly, if I lived nearby. For me, the highlight was the home made salsas - heat and flavor in good balance. We'll be returning soon to try the Tortas, enchiladas, tamales, and burritos! read more

First time and last time visit, I have been to mexico and various states in the US so I know flavores may differ in taquerias...but please use some kind of herbs and spices or atleast salt..the amount of portion should go with pricing and please if you raised prices due to inflation its understood but keep the quality...and post all changes and charges...its important to have a good atitude your clientele are what keeps you open. MAY RETURN to see if you actually listen to you clientele. read more

I've had many tasty street tacos and above average nachos here, but what I really love about this little open air taqueria steps away from the Cranston Street Armory off Dexter Field is their agua fresca. Rather than being just flavored waters, the agua frescas here are more like slushies--blended fruit and ice and no added sugar or syrups to get in the way of pure fruity slushy goodness. The flavors are limited, but it is hard to find better tasting real fruit slushies at many other places in PVD. In addition, the pricing is cheap, the service is warm and friendly, and it's walking distance to PVD West Siders and Armory denizens. They take phone orders too if you want to save some time and have your food to go. Mexican food lovers in PVD are very lucky to have this little taqueria around--in terms of no-frills street food, this little taqueria is one of the better ones around. read more

Solid tacos. Ingredients were fresh and toppings were good. Unfortunately the chicken, carne asada were pretty under seasoned/flavorless.

I visited shortly after moving to the area, and this place is absolutely fantastic! That first night, I ordered a chorizo burrito and an al pastor burrito to take away, and they were delicious. Everything there looks amazing, and I am super looking forward to sampling it all over the summer. read more

It's a small, neighborhood spot with great Mexican food. I usually get tamales or enchiladas, and both are perfect. If they have the avocados for guacamole, you're a fool if you don't add that on. The only problem is they don't give you enough chips for the mountain of guacamole. Cash only. During the cold weather or the busy summer months, it pays to call ahead. You may also want to brush up on your Spanish before visiting, but they are super sweet no matter how crappy your attempt. read more

Love these tacos!!! Best taco in Providence and you can fill up for $6 with 3 tacos. They are cash only and seem sketchy but worth it 100% of the time. read more

Orale Taqueria - Lunch time - Mexican Near Me - Providence, Rhode Island

Best burritos. Stuffed with carne azada, rice, beans, pico de gallo, lettuce, cheese and sour cream. Paid $8 but it's huge. So far this is the closest to authentic Mexican food around. I have only tried the burritos. Salsa was good. My boyfriend was not fond of the tacos. He asked for no onions but they put onions. Make sure you make yourself clear when you order. Calling ahead is best. You can eat there but it's a taco truck basically with picnic tables and some sort of cover to protect against rain. read more

Wow, that's big burrito at Orale Taqueria was really good. Second time here and next time I need to try the tacos.

Local authentic tacos. Hidden. I've probably passed them several times and never noticed. The best aqua Fresca I've had since being in Mexico. It's usually very liquidity but here it's blended fruit, tastes like you bit into a fresh fruit!! I've had the nachos, big enough to share and the taco are made to order. Don't come in a hurry, it's usually a one person operation. read more

The best tacos in Providence! And we love the service and ambiance too. The Al Pastor tacos are our favorites, but everything is reliably tasty and affordable too. read more

Amazing/authentic Mexican food. I don't use the word "authentic" lightly, as it's definitely overused. The food is great here, and make sure to bring some cash because they don't accept credit cards. This place might be easy to miss if you're in a car, but it's right on the corner of Lester St and Dexter St. Outdoor seating / no smoking. Lovely and super friendly people. When I went it was two primarily Spanish-speaking women. At first there was a slight miscommunication about my wanting vegetarian burritos, but it was quickly resolved. They received and created my order perfectly, and I will definitely return here many times in the future. Great opportunity to practice Spanish-speaking skills! read more

Orale Taqueria - Great Mexican food in proximity to pretty much everything in Providence. Outdoors-- right on the corner of Lester St and Dexter St. - Mexican Near Me - Providence, Rhode Island

I've had several items here and have found them to be so-so. For some reason their food just feels heavier than other taquerias (La Lupita, Emmanuel's) and not as fresh. They do have a diverse selection of meats and cuts, and I have to give them credit for a very tasty Barbacoa (goat). They give you a quart of jamaica (hibiscus) for only $5 so that's awesome. read more

My favorite tacqueria in Providence. A full variety of meats, all deliciously seasoned. The portions are very generous. An order of Nachos can be dinner for 2. read more
