★★★★★ 5.0 Brian Morris · Nov 2025

Candela Viva completely blew me away. I ordered the Arepa de Choclo, and it was absolutely phenomenal — the perfect blend of sweet corn and melted cheese. Every bite was rich, warm, and comforting, with that authentic Colombian flavor that’s hard to find anywhere else. The food overall was wonderful, and you can tell they put real care into every dish. If you’re looking for delicious, genuine Colombian cuisine, Candela Viva is a must-try. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Fourth time coming to the mall just to eat here. Everything is delicious from the arepas and empanadas to anything with chicharron. Definitely worth checking out if you’re at the mall or in the area.

Candelazo is my favorite ! WOW is the meat so tender and delicious. This is easily shared between 2 people . We also tried arepas and empanadas that were awesome 😎.
