It’s about dang time we get some real authentic food in Alabama! Being from San Diego California the land of amazing gastronomy I miss having authentic food! Definitely going to be a regular here! Welcome to Decatur Candela, I look forward to all the great food for years to come!

First time going and noticed a lot of thing that left a bad taste for me. 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.

Omg this place is so good! Real cuban food! I got a cortadito which was amazing to have on a freezing cold day and a guava and cream cheese pastelito. Delicious and perfect for breakfast!

The flavor of the black beans reminds me of my childhood when my grandma would make it, the ropa vieja is soo tender and tastey and the crunchy yucca frita just needs a cilantro sauce to make it 10/10. Overall, this place is amazing! Go check them out!!

Now Decatur have the opportunity of trying Carribean food from Cuba 🇨🇺 and some of their dishes.Place is very accesible at Beltline Rd near Walmart on Spring Ave.The service was spectacular and store inside with enough space to dine in.
