It is a small restaurant serving tacos, margaritas in the front. 2 tacos for €9. Got the carnitas and lengua which was great. And a margarita for €10. Then we went to the back which was behind an unassuming door which revealed a nicely decorated speakeasy. They had good drinks mixing spices and flavors. Would go again!

I’m so happy I finally made it here. The food was a 10 out of a 10!

I ordered the Carnitas tacos. And they were so scrumptious they were good size and they were very juicy. I could eat them all day every day.

I also ordered the spicy veggie quesadilla. This with the tacos ended up being too much food for me (as a solo female traveler) but I like trying lots of dishes when I’m out.

The place is really cute. It had a great vibe. The bathrooms were clean and it’s definitely a hidden gem!

I also got a frozen margarita. It was delicious and the consistency was great.

If you like cool cocktail spots put this near the top of your list. The front is a taco spot but don’t be fooled! Go to the back of the restaurant and you’ll see a dingy swinging door that leads to a dark super cozy little hidden bar. The cocktails were excellent and mostly revolved around a Mexican/ Latino theme. I loved the hidden bar vibe, the cocktails were very great, didn’t get to have the food but this place is a must visit with some friends for a late night Bev.

Great cocktail spot. The tacos were good last time I came too!
We got here too late to have some again though, as the kitchen seemed to close at 11pm.

As a person who travels to see great cocktail bars, I'm very rarely more impressed with the food than the drinks, but the tacos at Candelaria are unbeatable

The cocktails are obviously also world class, but I will have to come back asap to try more than 1!

Thanks to Louie, Romane & team ✨️
