Tacos & Booze

This Mexican hidden gem deserves a spot in your little black book. Candelaria is a true homestyle taqueria dining experience that isn’t advisable to skip. At the front you’ll find a sparsely-decorated taco stand, though if you pay attention, you’ll find it leads into a sultry cocktail den. A what? Yes, a den. Find your way into the hidden watering hole; an alternate universe.

What we love most about chef Luis Rendon is his simple yet precise approach to the Mexican cuisine. The menu is reasonably-priced with classic dishes like tostadas con pollos, rajas con queso and tacos de carnitas. Everything is made in the fiery open kitchen, so you can be sure you’re getting the real Mexican deal from Luis and his crew.
