You won't find chips and salsa at Candelas---this Mexican restaurant is unlike most in San Diego (or elsewhere in the U.S.). The alta cocina at this romantic downtown spot features indigenous Mexican ingredients such as nopales, corn,… Read Full Editorial

DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME by MamaDeb via Citysearch on 3/21/2010
HORRIBLE! HORRIBLE! HORRIBLE Service. Waiter was given money and asked for change. Never came back with the change ($75) and when asked about it, he said he gave it back to us! After dealing with the useless manager, we were finally given…
Candelas Restaurant is not bad for dancing afterwards by Abby F via Insider Pages on 7/29/2009
This place is ok, the drinks aren't bad. I tried a few appetizers too. They have music on weekends where the dance floor is opened up, so that's what I went for and it wasn't bad.
Different But Good by Patricia H via Insider Pages on 1/11/2009
We have been to this restaurant twice on different Sundays and the hour when they stop serving breakfast has been different both times. They started having a buffet on Sunday. It looks good but is pricey. Some of the items on the menu are…
Jumbo Shrimps! by Emily L via Insider Pages on 12/9/2008
One of the best upscale Mexican restaurants I have been too! I am usually not a big fan of Mexican food until I came here! The calamari was so delicious and the jumbo shrimp and coconut was so amazing! I highly recommend this place for…
Mexican by Alisa H via Insider Pages on 8/3/2008
This is a real Mexican restaurant, not Rubio's or Taco Bell. Candelas is a New York or Los Angeles quality place. Believe it or not you have to pay for quality food. He should move to LA, San Diego is a second tier city and does not have…
A New Way to Look at Mexican Cuisine by contempler via Citysearch on 4/11/2008
Mexican fine dining. We were greated at the front door by our host, Conrado Abundes, who then walked us to our table. I asked him to identify any dishes that he thought were note worthy, and his suggestions were on the money. The black…
Excellent food, excellent service. by rcervera via Citysearch on 4/8/2008
Innovative dishes with a great urban twist. Service is prompt and courteous. Best espresso outside of Miami.
Great food, drinks and ambience by GustavoJasmine via Citysearch on 3/24/2008
We had an early dinner there, the place is dimly lit, the entry bar is small but loungy. The bartender was really nice and made a great caipirinha's (brazilian drink). The dining staff was extremely polite, polished and welcoming. The…
Don't miss Candelas if you are in SD. by coup36 via Citysearch on 1/3/2008
Our favorite stop in San Diego. Outstanding food, nice atmosphere, unique drinks and great service. We loved the black bean soup and the avocado/seafood app. My wife had the shrimp served over Ahi tuna and said it was outstanding. The…
Fantastic Menu, Food, & Service by cherylr via Citysearch on 10/26/2007
Great authentic margaritas. I was ready to order wine when the server talked me into their all natural (no high fructos corn syrup mix) high quality margarita on the rocks. It was fantastic. Then we reviewed the menu, the server said…
Strictly candle-lit after dark, this moody lounge is heavy on the romance factor and follows through with sophisticated Mexican cuisine. by Erin Chambers via Citysearch on 9/18/2007
The Scene
Dark and moody, the brown painted walls, rustic wood stools and exposed ceiling beams contribute the feeling of an old colonial Mexican castle. Red and purple accent pillows, hand-embroidered table cloths and hundreds…
