- DDavidChicago / Illinois •10 reviews4.0Dined on Apr 15, 2025Heard great things. Was not super impressed honestly. The food was good but was overpriced for what it was. Ordered apps and entrees and ate the apps, didn’t know there was honey on the guacamole which I didn’t like. Asked for normal guacamole and was charged. Are all the apps and no drinks yet delivered. Service was slow. Entrees were good but not worth $27 for an entree!!! Not sure I would go backMore infoOrale Mexican Kitchen - Jersey CityPrice: Expensive• Mexican• Jersey City•4.8
