Orale Baja Mexican Restaurant

I love what I eat

Friendly, helpful, tasty, & positive is what I describe this restaurant. I'll go there again

The moment I sat down I was greeted by a cockroach the food looked like it had depression and the shrimp was just boiled, no seasoning or flavoring this is my first time reviewing. That’s how bad this place is.

Carne Asada just doesn't work with cuts that have a lot of connective tissue.

Cuts with a lot of connective tissue need to be cooked low and slow, as it takes a long time for the collagen to break down and become soft.
I don't know if they are trying to save money or if they just don't know the difference, but it doesn't work. Nobody wants to sit there chewing chopped gristle.

The green sauce was pretty good though, it had habanero which gave it a fruity flavor that went well with carnitas.

Orale is hands-down one of the best Mexican spots we’ve been to! The staff is super friendly and welcoming—amazing customer service all around. I had the carne asada fries, and they were absolutely delicious. My wife loved her carne asada burrito, and even our picky son devoured his chicken quesadilla from the kids' menu. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and made with care. Highly recommend—we’ll definitely be coming back!

A trad mom and pops eatery!
I ordered the California burrito with asada and my goodness this is one of the best I’ve had in South Bay. But most notably their homemade salsas are the best! I will be coming back here without a doubt!

First time here. Wow! Chimichaga was amazing. Great choice of beers on tap too. We’ll be back!

A very nice dining experience. There are plenty of tables, both booth and chair options, with the booths having adjustable shades for when the sun is setting. Those working were very pleasant and provided exceptional service. The guacamole was fantastic, the burrito was huge and hot, and the sauce options were perfect. Chips and salsa were nice too. Overall, my favorite “mom and pop” style Mexican restaurant in the area. Highly recommend eating here!

We come here to get our fish tacos every month. We always order tilapia and red snapper, and they cook perfectly. It's so yummy!!

Ordered the fish taco (red snapper), chips and salsa and the California burrito. Everything was very tasty. Our favorite was the California burrito. A bit different than what we were used to from San Diego but we enjoyed the addition of avocado. The salsa was very good as well. Nice and clean place too.

Tried a fish burrito. Fish wasn’t fresh. Tasted like something frozen and it had a very very strong after taste. Did not enjoy at all.

The fish burrito was pretty good, but a bit overpriced in my opinion. They give you free chips and salsa if you dine in, but not if you order take away.

Went here several times over the summer and it is absolutely worth checking out! The California Burritos are generously portioned and packed with flavor. The staff is friendly and the food comes out quickly. I love the outdoor seating area under the bougainvillea.

Cozy little place, great food at fine prices. Nice refreshing iced tea. The breaded tilapia tacos were delicious. The folks behind the counter seemed to know their regulars and were also really friendly to us out-of-town ers.
