The seat that we were in was uncomfortable due to it being too hot. We ended up only staying for appetizers and one drink each due to that fact.

Orale is definitely a solid spot in Jersey City. There’s a sweet and spicy guac that’s delish. I love a good margarita and, while they have a large selection, I don’t feel any are “outstanding”. Vibe is fun and staff are pleasant!

We love Orale! We’ve been dining here for years and always have a great time. Absolutely the best staff around - they’re warm, welcoming, thoughtful, and knowledgeable. Last night we were happy to be seated in Simon’s section again - and he somehow remembered our family’s order though we hadn’t made it there in the last few months. The vibe always feels like a celebration, and it felt particularly terrific for a family Valentine’s Day dinner. Menu is creative but accessible. Always the right choice!
