" Absolutely loved my experience at Taqueria La Candelaria! The tacos were the perfect size, and the homemade tortillas really made a difference in flavor. The carne asada was tender and well-seasoned, but the best part was definitely the fresh salsa. I do wish they accepted cards since I had to find an ATM nearby, but the food was worth the minor inconvenience. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for real Mexican food in town. " (*Curated Review*)

" La Candelaria gives a good representation of authentic Mexican cuisine. I had the fajitas and they were juicy but not quite sizzling at the table like I imagined. Service was decent, atmosphere casual, and overall a fine experience. Definitely good for a hearty meal but be wary of the cash-only rule. " (*Curated Review*)

" Not as good as I remember. The tacos were pretty bland, and I noticed less filling than before. They still have that homey atmosphere that I enjoy, but the service felt rushed. I hope they find a way to turn things around because I really wanted to love this place again. " (*Curated Review*)

" The food was okay, but I expected way more flavor from the hype. The portions are generous, but I felt like something was missing in the seasoning. The homemade tortillas are a plus, and the environment was fine, but the service was not attentive. I would try again but with lower expectations. " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been going to La Candelaria for years, but lately, I’ve noticed a dip in quality. The tortillas are still amazing but sometimes the tacos can feel under-seasoned. The service has always been a hassle due to their cash-only policy. It’s a shame because it used to be my favorite spot for tacos. " (*Curated Review*)

" This restaurant has excellent authenticity! The tortillas were fresh and the flavors of the salsas and meats were spot on. However, I felt the service could be improved as it took a while to take our orders. Overall, a solid dining experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" While I appreciated the homemade tortillas, I found the tacos overpriced for what they delivered. They were tasty, but not enough to warrant the cash-only approach when there are so many places nearby that take cards. The service was hit or miss, but I might return if I ever get that craving again. " (*Curated Review*)
