"Thanks to its nearby sister restaurant, the Pit Room barbecue joint, Candente excels in Tex-Mex dishes made with smoked meats. Brunch, held from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on weekends, gets the breakfast treatment, with mesquite-flamed skirt steak and eggs and tacos filled with slow-cooked barbacoa. For something more traditional, go for the pancakes, which are loaded with a perfect combination of cinnamon sugar, butter, and syrup." - Brittany Britto Garley
"A Tex-Mex restaurant recognized by Michelin, operated by Sambrooks Hospitality." - Brittany Britto Garley
"A 'smokeria' featuring Tex-Mex dishes with meats cooked over a live-fire grill." - Brittany Britto Garley
"Michelin also designated seven Houston restaurants as “recommended,” including Candente." - Brittany Britto Garley
"When searching for a crowd-pleasing restaurant for a private event, Candente should be at the top of the list. This top-notch Tex-Mex restaurant dishes out favorites like brisket enchiladas, fajitas, and a variety of margaritas, and offers a spacious dining room that seats 100 people. Diners can also customize the experience with seated dinners, buffets, and satellite bars." - Marcy de Luna, Brittany Britto Garley
