This is for a review of the West Side Market stand. I LOVE this place. Everything is fresh and amazing. Mango habanero salsa is a must, as is the jicama/cactus salad. Their tortilla chips are only $3 for a huge bag and they are awesome. Their soft corn tortillas also can't be beat. I'm gonna go here every week. A+++

Ordered a chicken tamale, a chorizo and cheese empanada, and shredded beef empanada. All were tasty and met my expectations. The only minor drawback was that the items were sold cold. I should've warmed the items prior to eating. I will be back.

I was hungry and strolling around the market, looking for something that wasn't sweets. First, the tamales caught my eye but what really got me to try this place out were the blue potatoes! I purchased 2 tamales (chicken mole and pork), blue potatoes, and Spanish rice. With the way things are going with covid, I asked if they could heat everything for me so I could gobble gobble in my car. The staff was happy to oblige and patient while I mulled over all the options. My favorite out of the 3 were the potatoes. I asked why they were blue, and they stated that in Peru, it has to do with the soil; the indigo in the soil is what turns them blue. I can't pinpoint what the taste is like, but it was unique; I enjoyed them. I wasn't all that impressed with the tamales or rice; they were both bland. Also, everything was really dry.

They make the best empanadas and tamles, and always have great service! Best place in the market!

Ok, so the other two reviews seem to be misplaced for a restaurant in the area. I want to be clear, this is not a restaurant, but a Mexican Food stand in the middle of the west side market. The food is good, but slightly overpriced. If you were trying to piece together a dinner for a family you're way better off going to an actual restaurant.

I was so excited to see that they had tamales, but unfortunately I was disappointed. They were so dry, little to no sauce at all, and there was little meat and loads of dry corn mesa. In the end I do like everything else I tried but I was sad.

This review is for the stand inside West Side Market, although I understand there is also a full restaurant outside the market. I was really excited about trying their tamales, which looked great! Aside from them not being cooked fully, the vegetable tamale use canned veggies. Pretty gross. The chips and dip were pretty good but not remarkable by any means. Additionally, they messed the order up. Perhaps the tamales we ordered would have been better than the ones we got? I suggest visiting the West Side Market but passing on Orale...

My absolute favorite haunt in the CLE. Bloody Maria, blood orange juice with mid shelf tequila, and deep fried avocado tacos. Greatest meal you'll have all year. Love the food, atmosphere, and staff at Orale. I hope it'll be an Ohio City staple for years to come.
Extremely disappointed by the lack of respect given to us today at the west side market. Bought salsa and a quesadilla, came to $9.50 and we paid with a $20. The girl at the counter gave us back 0.50 we said we paid with a 20 because that's literally all we had with us at that point. The girl said no you didn't. They all were very rude to us. Called the owner they gave us our change. Then they gave us our bag. But then the girl followed us around the market place and then accused us of taking food saying they gave us tamales in our bag and we didnt pay for our food. Will never recommend to anyone

Went there and had a Mango Margarita - it was excellent! Waitress was super nice margarita was made with fresh organic pureed mangoes! Nice size drink- absolutely fantastic! The way a Mango Margarita should taste! Wish I hadn't eaten before I got there cause the food looked delicious too! Was a beautiful warm day, so we sat outside on sidewalk cafe..nice!

I wanted to try a new restaurant and heard how W 25th St was coming around so I decided to try out this little hole in the wall restaurant based on reviews I read. Best decision ever! This was the healthiest and most interestingly delicious Mexican food I've ever had. Each dish had a flare of other cultures tied in. My burritos had an eastern Indian flare and the combined flavors were to die for. I couldn't wait to bring another friend back which was every bit as great as the first visit. I appreciate the consistency. SO glad I stepped out of my tiny food box to explore some of what Cleveland had to offer.

Tonight was the first time dining at Orale for both my girlfriend and I. We saw good reviews so we decided to check it out. Portions were good as was the service. The food, however, was very very bland and our margaritas were weak. It was disappointing but the worst was how expensive the meal was for how little we enjoyed it.

Orale has a stand in the westside market, but also has a brick and mortar restaurant. They offer an excellent vegan menu on Tuesdays, and the regular menu always has a handful of vegetarian/ vegan options! Plus, you can sample a variety of salsas with your meal at no additional cost! Orale is certainly on my Top 10 vegan-friendly place to try in Cleveland!
