Candela Taco Lounge - Los Angeles

The menu was the biggest attraction. Whoever had the idea of running this Latin club with food was brilliant. Not what one would expect from a typical bar that tries to eat it. Service was excellent and the food was even better. The room is quite small, which probably gives the amplification of all who say that the noise level is what you have noticed most. If you can handle it, you will really enjoy your food. Food and cocktail prices are very reasonable.

Decided to dinner reservations based on reviews I read and was glad that I did. Four of us enjoyed fantastic food in a very nice, casual environment with fantastic service. I had Enchiladas, who was awarded a delicious, smokey and spicy dark red sauce. We enjoyed house margaritas that were not irrigated, yet they disappeared on the Tequila. One disadvantage was that the four of us sit on a bar table that was normally used by two people instead of four so that table space was credible and elbow space was not present. No reflection on food or service as both were excellent. We'll be back.

I had a reservation for 11 and the table was ready when we arrived. Large staff took food and beverage orders and made great suggestions. Everything arrived at the table hot and requested with the correct changes or substitutions. There was always a waiting staff nearby to help us.

The best Mexican food and love the asparagus soup! Great service and made great accommodations for my big party of 8!

Flat screen TVs in all directions. So every seat has a great view of TV. So great to watch sporting events. I had 4 different tacos. All 4 tacos were excellent. Wife enjoyed a couple of tacos and the ceviche. The service was a little poor considering the few tables that were occupied. Charging for a second basket of tortilla chips was disappointing since they caused the delay in getting our food. I would still recommend this place because of the food and TVs.
