Orale Mexican Kitchen offers an inspired Mexican cuisine, rooted in authenticity, and paired with creative agave-based libations and an elevated standard of service. James Muir (Alain Ducasse, Rosa Mexicano) is the Executive Chef. The newly renovated 90-seat space on the Upper West Side (including 30 outdoor) will embrace guests with a vibrant atmosphere that combines traditional imagery and high-style graffiti. The Orale Mexican Kitchen concept was created by seasoned New York restaurateurs Louis Alvarez and Alex Mendelsohn, whose vision and executive operational expertise infused the Orale concept with culinary appeal and a hip, welcoming vibe, making it a popular success on the downtown Jersey City dining scene.
