Breakfast Menu "Orale Authentic Mexican Food" Downers Grove

Not sure why my chicken tacos are grey, I am too grossed out by how my food looks to even try it. Honestly this is some of the worst Mexican food I have ever tried. Prices are comparable to other local places but the quality is not there. The steak is dry and crispy. The rice is mushy and the beans were barely warm with a pool of oil on top of the cheese. Also asked for three green sauces, the girl gave me 2 red & 1 green for 5 tacos.

Customer service was sooooo good. Refried beans are vegetarian (believe it or not, it's hard to find ones that don't contain pork oil or drippings) and guacamole was fresh and limey!

Orale is very clearly a popular spot in town so we added it to our list to try. Generally didn't find it as good as other people and not as good as other places in town. Arrived in a late afternoon and there were no other customers seated inside. Most business appeared to be carryout and delivery, as food was being run out while I ordered. The staff was very friendly. I also came in just after the lunch special prices ended, but they offered them to me without asking. Food was cooked quickly. I generally found the food to be not bad, but nothing special. The burrito and quesadillas were very greasy, almost to the point of soaking through the tortilla. Chips tasted over salted and over fried. Rice and beans wasn't bad, wasn't great. Guacamole was in the middle compared to what is served by other places in town. I'd eat there again, but not after trying some other places first.

We absolutely love this place! The food is fantastic! Our go to is the taco dinner, steak is lean and shrimp was delicious. Rice is incredible and beans are tasty. They have amazing sauces. My husband loves the pineapple hot sauce. Try it! You won’t regret it.

This is my new go-to Mexican place! So far, my husband and I have tried the shrimp fajitas, steak tacos, and chicken enchiladas and all 3 dishes have killed it! Their shrimp is big and plump and the steak is perfectly cooked and lean without any of those nasty rubbery pieces. The chicken was tender and juicy. All of their suces are delicious and flavorful, I would guess that they are all homemade. Their tortillas also seem homemade, they are thick and delicious. I'm so excited to have this awesome place in my neighborhood and look forward to trying their tortas next!

Came here last week. They serve salsa warm, but it was absolutely delicious! Also, they make great guacamole (which I'm VERY picky about) and I can only state that one other restaurant is also very good too. These mom and pop shops are the best! :)

We have been going to almost every Mexican restaurant in the area looking for the most similar to our favorite place in Miami. This restaurant definitely delivers. The food is way better than the average Mexican restaurant providing more flavor and authenticity in the dishes. Would definitely recommend!

Want to share some love for this place since they are unfortunately new during covid. We picked up takeout on Friday night and husband, toddler, and I all loved the food. I got a chicken burrito and husband got al pastor tacos with rice & refried beans sides. My husband approved of the guac (this is his deciding factor on most mexican places), though I didn't try because I hate cilantro. Which leads me to the sauces- none of them have cilantro, so they have won my heart. There's a pineapple/sweeter tasting one that really stood out to me, but they were all great sauces!! The salsa has a smoky taste to it, also no cilantro, which I enjoyed as well! As for the toddler, she loved the beans and rice, and she is one picky eater, for what it's worth! Love this place and will definitely go back!!
