Candela Cuban Cafe

My expectations of a Cuban sandwich shop is a nice pan con mantequilla with a good size bread gently pressed on the blancha. This was half the size of what I usually get from other Cuban sandwich shops and smashed too much. The Lechon Sandwich bread was way bigger and was pressed on the blancha perfectly but the Lechon was seasoned like you guys were holding back. The cafe con leche was ok. This was a takeout order so I'm not sure about the dine in experience and I don't think I ever will experience it due to the experience with the takeout side

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!
