“My wife and I had a wonderful experience. The food was cooked to perfection. The service was excellent. The chef came out and greeted us which made the visit feel extra special. Will be back for sure!”
“I had the aguachile, the lengua tacos, the mole de olla, and the arroz con leche. I really liked the aguachile, which tasted very fresh, and the lengua tacos, which were very tender and well-balanced. On the other hand, the arroz con leche was too cinnamony for me.”
“I had such an amazing experience at this restaurant! The service was exceptional from the moment I walked in—everyone was welcoming, attentive, and genuinely kind. The tacos de lengua were hands-down the best I’ve ever had: tender, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. What really made the visit stand out was the manager taking the time to explain the different types of mezcal they offer. It was super informative and added a special touch to the meal. You can really tell they care about both the food and the customer experience. Highly recommend! I’ll definitely be coming back.”
“Oro had some really great food and some phenomenal food service! Everyone we finished a plate our next course was already at our table! If you’re looking for traditional Mexican food but elevated with style and class this is the place! Definitely a place to get some fun drinks and Mexican cuisine! ¡Muy Rico!”
“The food here was very good and definitely lived up to the hype. Every dish felt thoughtful, balanced, and full of flavor. The only reason for the 4/5 is that while the service was attentive, it felt a bit robotic at times rather than warm or engaging, and you could tell the server just wanted to be done with us so they could go home. At a restaurant like this, we were hoping for a little more personality and enthusiasm around the dining experience, but overall I’d still recommend it for the quality of the food alone and we’ll be back.”
