We had a great time the staff was really friendly and helpful. We had drinks and calamari I wish the calamari was more food. It’s really good but not shareable. The staff also gave us some samples of a yummy tuna tar tar

If you’re looking for good food, strong drinks and a great vibe.. this is the place to go. My server was Andrea & she was on point with the service ! The managers came over and chatted with us for a little and made us feel super welcomed & comfortable! It’s really the little things that made my experience so wonderful. Thank you! I’m definitely going to come back for brunch!

The service was good. The food was good. However we have no idea how the owner or management would ever choose the music they chose. Forget the fact that not everyone likes heavy hip hop...my wife and I actually do but not when having dinner. Forget the fact that not everyone likes uncensored heavy hip hop with extreme degrading of women and curse words...in the right contest maybe. Anyone going out for a nice dinner with friends, family, date, coworkers, or pretty much anyone they want to enjoy dinner with does not like that type of music playing in the background. Then add to that it was loud. I ran restaurants for years and even in my kitchen I would allow the amount of uncensored material playing. It's a restaurant.....not a night club. Maybe if they were having a party night or changing the vibe after 10pm from dining to club. It was 6:30 at night.Shame because this could easily become a go to regular restaurant to frequent or recommend. Until the owner changes the vibe I would never return or recommend.

Always enjoy visiting the Hoboken and Jersey City Oralé locations.Most recently, had a very nice date night in Hoboken, and the staff was exceptionally friendly. One server in particular, Julio, took very good care of us. He was attentive, friendly, and helpful with suggestions for my date who was a first timer and vegetarian. Thanks for being so great, Julio!Keep it up, Oralé. Always a great time.

I ordered one drinkA double vodka with seltzer and lime.They charged $35. When I asked the guy behind the bar about the price, he just shrugged his shoulders and had nothing to say to me.You have some nerve charging $35 for a double vodka.

They were unprepared for our 7:45 reservation .. sent us to the back bar to wait and after a few visits back to the front desk (where I was shrugged off) we still waited a full hour and our table STILL wasn’t ready. Making matters worse was the bartender telling us he was too busy to get us another round as we waited and waited … we ended up going elsewhere for dinner after a full hour of waiting for a non-honored reservation. Go somewhere else.

Orale Mexican Kitchen in Hoboken is a culinary gem, offering an unforgettable Mexican dining experience. The 'Day of the Dead' decor creates a lively atmosphere, perfect for enjoying their standout dish, the Line Caught Atlantic Seared Salmon, with its unique blend of cranberry chipotle relish and truffle honey escabeche. But the highlight for me is their margaritas – each one a perfect mix of flavor and finesse. Whether you're in for a hearty meal or just sipping on their signature cocktails, Orale's vibrant setting and exquisite flavors make it a must-visit spot in Hoboken.

Used to love this place and dined in every chance I got but the staff has really gone down hill. I was here with a friend and was served by Shalom and she had no customer service whatsoever. Maybe she was having a bad day I don’t know but I only saw her laughing and smiling with her coworkers. I noticed when another guest asked her questions about the menu she was very rude as well. Food had NO taste either. Shalom decided halfway through our visit that she would stop coming to our table to check on us. She only returned to pack our to go’s and give us the check. Got home with my guac and found a wrapper in it too. A mess. Ohhh && went to the restroom and there was a lovely amount of urine on the seat. cleanliness should be more closely monitored since there is also children who frequently dine in. That is all!
