Re: Orale Mexican Kitchen [by K-Lo]
Restaurant & Bar::Orale Mexican Kitchen
We ate there last night. Three of us. We had a guacamole trio, all chunky and flavorful. So dense you had to spoon it on the chips - which were light, not oily. The halibut ceviche was excellent. The fish and sweetbreads tacos were also fine. My son had the mole which he devoured and couldn't resist the flan and our waiter threw in some brownies for the table. The menu really does have some unexpected twists -- sweetbread tacos?
We will definitely go back. Next time I'll have the ceviche with a side of brussels sprouts which looked so good from the table next door.
Service was very friendly (the waiter was actually a friend of my other son), water was replenished quickly. My only negative was I found the cocktails a bit too sweet for my taste. I'm not a tequila afficionado so I may stick to wine or beer next time...but there will definitely be a next time.
One final note -- I used to shop in this space when it was the old fabric store. I actually knew how cavernous this place was and was quite impressed with the design and use of space.
