Ummm, did you say avocado salsa? Oh, yes, you did--and it was delicious.
The man and I were hungry and looking for some take-out in the OHC. He randomly mentioned that although we've bought a ton from their stand at the WSM, we've never eaten at Orale's new restaurant. I can't even tell you what took us so long to come here, considering we know we love their food.
Anyways, yes--the inside is tiny and could seat maybe 15-20 people, tops. But, the taste of the food is huuuuge. I mean, ordering mexican take-out is always a gamble. Things can get pretty soggy on the journey home. Not my steak tacos! Ohmygod... tender flank steak, chopped tomatoes, cheese and avocado salsa wrapped in corn tortillas. It's like heaven in taco form. I can't even imagine what their beer battered avocado tacos must taste like. The man got the vegetarian sandwich and I didn't hear a peep out of him while he was mowing this thing down. We also both got cups of the tortilla soup with chicken, which was smoky and delicious. I loved that it wasn't cream-based, but spicy and tomato based. Definitely more authentic.
One thing I will say is that although their handmade chips are delicious and fresh, I wish they seasoned them with salt. But then again, I love salt and we didn't have salsa with our to-go meals to pair them with.
The best part was when I checked in on my mobile Yelp app, which magically supplied me with a "10% off our entire check" offer! I asked the server who asked the owner and she said she had just put that check-in offer up that day! So cool that they're offering up deals to yelpers.
The food is fresh, delicious and authentic. I can't wait to return to try more of the menu and enjoy our meal at Orale instead of grabbing take-out!
