Reviews
1) arrived as they opened but they didn’t have churrasco (i drove over an hour away to get this food and they weren’t prepared with the items on their menu)
2) ordered the guava and cheese pastries and the girl behind the register failed to tell me i needed to take my receipt to another area to get them. By the time i got my food they had already sold out of those specific pastries and i had to get a refund on the ones i ordered because they were not going to make more (again drove over an hour away for this)
3) not a single person that worked there sounded like an actual cuban so i doubt there was authenticity but maybe i missed something
On a positive note the reason i did not give them 1 star is because the cuban sandwiches and fried yuca were actually good and delicious. Although a bit over priced but i guess you pay more in a place like Alabama when they don’t usually have these kind of cuisines in the area.
Hopefully they get it together and do better soon
It’s the kind of place where you know—before the first bite—you’re about to experience something special.
The food? Absolutely unforgettable.
Every plate feels generous, vibrant, and made with love.
What truly sets Candela apart, though, is the heart behind it. The staff is warm, welcoming, and genuinely passionate about sharing Cuban culture. Service is attentive without being overbearing, and you feel like a guest, not just a customer.
Candela isn’t just a meal—it’s a celebration. It’s bold flavors, lively atmosphere, and authentic hospitality all wrapped into one unforgettable dining experience.
Five stars isn’t enough. Candela brings the fire—and you’ll be dreaming about your next visit before you even leave.
Clean establishment.
Picadillo a la Habanera was great with Congri and Yuca.
Very authentic.
Go have a dish for yourself and enjoy!!!!
