I had a black bean arepa. It was absolutely delicious. Everything was made to perfection. Savory and sweet notes in a crunchy arepa with a fluffy interior. It’s the very best arepa that I’ve eaten in the United States. I highly recommend this restaurant. Friendly people, excellent food served in a clean light filled room.

As a resident of the area I’ve been very excited for this to opening of candela, it’s held up to all my expectations and more. The owners and staff were nothing but gracious and the food was amazing. This is the type of establishment is what we needed in this neighborhood.

Comfortable and casual with great food at good price. We liked everything we tried five dishes.

Sooo good, and really fun to eat! This was my first experience of arepas: kind of like a pocket pita made of fried corn bread. The flavor and texture is perfect for the delicious fillings, which include lamb, black beans, chicken, short ribs, and brisket among others. Don't miss the delicious sides (the mango slaw is my fave) and the special drinks!
