Ok, Orale! You got me! If you can use an exclamation point in your name, I can use it in my review!
First off: Salsas!
Holy crap. So good. We got two to start us out and they were as different as can be and completely different from normal salsas you'll get at an average Mexican restaurant. Then they brought out the pineapple salsa...Mmm!
Second off: Small plates!
We ordered the Empenadas and the entree of Pork Chop. Both were great, although the Empenadas could have use a little of some sort of sauce because the mixture of goat cheese was almost drying to the already dry-ish empenada. Nothing against Orale, that's just how empenadas are.
Third off: Beer!
It's BYOB. I love this! Especially since there is a convenience store next door where you can buy a huge bottle of Corona for next to nothing. It really helps even out the price and make the evening's experience less expensive than any other nice restaurant.
Overall: Success!
We loved our food, we loved our Corona, we loved our salsas. I would love to have a party there, bring in some Margaritas and just buy lots of small plates. It's a wonderful authentic tasting contemporary Mexican cuisine destination.
