I had an amazing experience at this Cuban restaurant! I tried several dishes — the empanadas de pollo, lechón, and ropa vieja — and every single one was delicious. We also ordered the Cuban sandwich, which was perfectly made and full of flavor. I even tasted the pastelito de guayaba, and it was so good! The prices are great, the atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the overall vibe made the meal even better. Our server, Leah, was truly the life of the party. Her energy and fun personality made our visit unforgettable. Highly recommend — can’t wait to go back!

We had been waiting excitedly for Candela Cuban Cafe to officially open, and were finally able to try it out today. We had the cubano, ropa vieja, yuca fries, and café con leche - everything was delicious! We are so happy to have this new cafe in the neighborhood!

I had the honor of attending Candela Cuban Café’s friends and family soft opening and it was such a great experience. I tried the empanadas with lechon, ground beef and ropa vieja. They were crispy, loaded with filling, super juicy and the chimichurri dip was phenomenal. I also had a sandwich de bistec with cheese and everything tasted so fresh and full of flavor. The bread was soft and moist which made it even better. For dessert I went with an iced café con leche and a guava pastelito and it was honestly the best way to end the meal. Candela Cuban Café is affordable, family friendly, has outdoor seating and both the food and service felt just like home. Highly recommend!
