Overall just had a bad experience for the second time. Drinks and food were good everything else was terrible. They wouldn’t make the smallest accommodation for someone with an allergy.
Orale Mexican Kitchen - MorristownResponded 2 days ago
Hi Eduardo, We are very sorry you feel this way, we did make several accommodations for the group as we pride ourselves on an exceptional level of hospitality. The only accommodation we were unwilling to make was for you to bring outside food in for dinner. We do apologize that this did not meet your standards.

10/10 we ordered the tasting of 3 guacamole flavors. Carne asada and enchiladas suiza were delicious + the yucca fries. The smile & de-nada drink was the best. Our server was new but she did an amazing job!! Thank you!

My absolute favorite place! Food is exceptional! Standouts are takes Juan to know Juan, truffle ribeye burrito and tuna tacos! Plus the Serrano marmalade guacamole is insane. Managers always making sure customers are good, Zack is the best and Fausto is our favorite waiter who takes amazing care of us whenever we are there.

We had a wonderful time last night at Orale! The servers were great and the guac was so fresh and came quickly to the hungry little diners at our table. The margs were delicious -especially the ‘Elite’- and all can be made spicy. The tuna taco in lettuce wrap was outstanding. Go early for the best experience.

We hope to welcome you back soon for another delicious meal.

Excellent service and food. Drinks watered down not good I had a special margarita and I could not tell there was any tequila I had to order a shot to make the drink a drink, so it was VERY costly. Too loud for sure and side-by-side tables a least desired arrangement BUT food is consistently excellent.
