Orale Orale: A San Francisco Financial District Institution Craving a burrito, I asked for recommendations from two colleagues. Both mentioned Orale Orale; off I went! Established in 1989, Orale Orale is tucked on the corner of Sacramento and Dumm streets, a place I have walked by many times on my way to work but never walked in to eat. Choosing simplicity, I ordered a Carnitas Burrito, with all the toppings and a spicy kick. The order-taker was friendly and quick despite the restaurant's lunchtime buzz. The place was packed, suggesting its popularity amongst the regular lunchtime crowd. While waiting for my order, inviting plates, including a couple of combination plates, passed by on their way to the tables. My to-go burrito arrived in ten minutes, its impressive size and weight promising satiation. My first bite at the office was a burst of flavor. The pinto beans, rice, and meat were perfectly balanced, and the generous portions of spicy salsa, guacamole, sour cream, and cheese improved each bite. Fully satisfied, I declared myself a happy customer. Would I return? Absolutely, for a filling and delicious Mexican meal.

Been going here for years with coworkers. Always crowded during lunch hours but for good reasons. I always get a taco and enchilada combo or a three amigos when I'm super hungry. Great establishment. Highly recommend.

Who ever gave this place 1-STAR SHOULD BE DROP KICKED IMMEDIATELY!! Who in their right mind would even consider giving ‘ORALE ORALE’ anything less than a perfect rating? The staff was so incredibly friendly and the food was ludicrously delicioso! So stoked I found my new chilaquiles spot in the FiDi of SF. ¡Orale Orale! Qué chingón!!!

A hidden spot near Embarcadero. The Spanish omelette was tasty. The plate is filled with many chip dipping options. Service was great and they offer a pleasant dining experience.

Great place I’ve been coming to for years, while I worked in the neighborhood. I’m in the area again occasionally and I stopped by this week…Fast service, friendly folks, still reasonable prices and delicious food! If you’re in the Embarcadero area. Go in and enjoy yourself! I had a shrimp enchilada & chile relleno combo plate. The tasty & picante salsa casera & topopos were brought to my table immediately!
