ORALE MEXICAN KITCHEN REVIEWS

Food quality, drinks & ambience was great. But above all the service was amazing especially Adam who showed an excellent example of hospitality. He recommended great food options and checked on us multiple times to make sure everything is ok. And all the servers were great and cleaned the tables very well. Highly recommend this place.

My favorite spot in the area! The food is absolutely delicious — the best in the neighborhood. Amazing service every time!.

Delicious food, friendly service, fun atmosphere- Cant wait to return! The bao buns were our favorite part of the meal.

MEXIMODO JERSEY CITY REVIEWS

First time here and we absolutely LOVED this place! The food was excellent, the cocktails were delicious, the service was impeccable, and the ambience was perfect! We came for my friend's birthday with a fairly large group -- 6 adults and 4 toddlers/babies. We ordered guacamole, truffle street corn (showstopper!) Yuca fries, and lots of tacos (I had the shrimp tacos and fish tacos). My group also tried goat meat tacos. Each taco order came with a side, I ordered rice and beans, which was very good. And for the birthday girl, we got the special birthday ice cream dessert which looked so cute! Everything was so very good!! Their cocktails were so delicious, each one better than the last! And their mocktail game is strong! We had a great table near the beautiful bar, where all the bottles are on display all the way to the ceiling. Overall, a 10 out of 10 and we will definitely be back again and again!.

The food was delicious we started with the mango habaneros guacamole. They served chips and salsa on the house. The shrimp and zucchini antojitos were good. We had the street tacos and yuca fries for were tasty we tried fish tacos, chicken tacos and cauliflower. The mango and guava margaritas were good. Asked for them to be less sweet. Jesus was great, super sweet and helpful.

My Family and I came here for Valentine's Day and enjoyed the Food sooo much!....So my husband and I decided to come a second time around just him and I and honestly it didn't dissapoint Food was great just like the 1st time. We will Obviously be coming back for sure, btw one of our favs is the Fried Yucca it was Delicious!!! SO SO GOOD!!!!.
