Manville Orale Mexican Restaurant

I had the birria beef tacos. It comes in three pieces. With the broth and 2 sauces. The green sauce is mild and the red is spicy. I also got the spiced rice drink. It was tasty and had cinnamon. I am not a birria lover because of how oily it can be. But this was pretty good. The taco was not too thin, it’s a good thickness and did not get too soggy with the meat. I can’t wait to try something different o their menu! I highly recommend this restaurant.

Good place, good food overall, I always enjoy Mexican food and I liked that the place looked very picturesque.

Authentic Mexican food. I ordered the tostadas and they were really good! I also tried the birria tacos and that was even better. Small restaurant with nice decor. Plenty of street parking available.

I wanted to love this place after reading mostly good things before visiting, but after going there this weekend, I feel misled by all the positive reviews. As a native Mexican-American raised in Texas, it’s been hard to find good, authentic Mexican food in the Northeast. Unfortunately, this place has some of the blandest rice I’ve ever had in my life. It was the right color, had the right texture and the right vegetables, but absolutely zero flavor. My mouth was confused when upon the first bite all I tasted was water. Sadly, that’s how the remainder of the bites were. I couldn’t justify trying to finish something so poorly seasoned. The beans were a little more flavorful, but the texture threw me off. Refried beans are usually a little more stiff in terms of consistency, but these felt like a straight stream of bean water. It was so odd. The sopes similarly lacked flavor, being overpowered by the shredded and fried chicken they topped the sopes with. The only redeeming dish (and the reason I decided on 3 instead of 2 stars) was the torta which had a good balance of flavor, and the chips and salsa. I’ve always said that you can tell how authentic a place is based on their chips & salsa offerings, but I finally found a place that defies that standard. From now onwards, I’ll try not to be too optimistic on just chips and salsa alone.

Family-run restaurant with homely cooking and cosy vibes. Love the chicken burrito with generous toppings of fresh salad. Tacos were a little dry but that’s easily solved with the sauces provided. Service was warm and efficient. Great hospitality. So glad we visited!

Customer Service impeccable! Literally above and beyond. Everyone there is all smiles, ambiance is welcoming. Their al pastor meat is very well seasoned compared to others near by. Food in general is super flavorful and tasty. Price wise it’s a steal for how delicious the food is. The tortillas are hand made in restaurant 🤤. Literal *chefs kiss*
Definitely will have you coming back for more!

I've been coming here for awhile. Especially now that they reopened after the major flooding in Manville from hurricane Ida last September.
This is a family run business, and it shows. The staff is extremely nice, the front desk girl who answers the phone and takes the orders is always happy and smiling.
The food is very good and authentic Mexican. My favorite, and I usually get is 3 beef tacos, the traditional way with just a squeeze of fresh lime and thinly sliced red radishes, and fresh cilantro with salsa verde and hot sauce on the side. I also order rice and beans. The beans are very fresh and creamy,along with an order of grilled onions (aka it looks like scallions with an onion at the bottom.)
Everything here is homemade and quality.
There is street parking in front and around the corner. If you don't want to park across the street in the lot and walk.
At O'rale Restaurant you can dine inside. They serve all the traditional Mexican foods and frescas.
This Mexican restaurant has become my favorite in Manville. I've tried them all, and this one continues to stand out.

Orale is truly a local hidden gem and offers some of the widest selection and most authentic Mexican food around. I especially enjoy the wide selection of tacos they offer which usually comes with 4 for 12 dollars for their regular selection and 3 for 12 dollars with more specialized meat such as head, tongue or intestine. The service here is incredible, the staff very friendly and they have an incredible chef as well who makes excellent food. I personally visit Orale for lunch or dinner 2 to 3 times a week minimum and whenever I go they are almost always busy - which absolutely speaks to the quality of the food here! If you're looking for some great Mexican food at very very reasonable prices, I would highly recommend Orale!
