Las Velas

Mexican restaurant · Central Business District

"Las Velas can be hard to find, sitting above Bank of America in Market Square, but you’ll never forget how to come back. Their quesadillas, filled with Mexican cheeses and your choice of protein, are packed with flavor, especially the combo of chicken and shrimp. Breaded tilapia shines in the tacos, served with shredded cabbage, pico de gallo, and creamy chipotle sauce, while an order of black beans and elote completes any meal. Wash it all down with one of their frozen margaritas and you’ll be set for the evening." - Briana L White
