" I had heard great things about this place, and although I enjoyed the food, it wasn't quite what I expected. The street tacos are indeed large, but the flavors were not as vibrant as I had hoped. The handmade tortillas are a nice touch, but the customer service left a lot to be desired. Overall, it's a decent spot, but I'm not sure if I'll return for the price. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a fantastic dining experience here! The huaraches were massive. I struggled to finish mine! Creative toppings and the freshness of the ingredients stood out. However, I would have appreciated a bit more attention from the staff. They seemed overwhelmed during lunch rush. Overall, the dishes are top-notch, but the service could be a challenge during peak times. " (*Curated Review*)

" This is my new favorite taco spot! The freshness of the tortillas and quality of the meats are impressive. The only downside came from the order confusion at the counter; it took a while for my food to arrive. Nonetheless, the food's authentic taste more than made up for the wait. You might find it helpful to call ahead and order. " (*Curated Review*)

" You know what you're getting into when you visit La Candelaria! Incredible homemade tortillas and delicious tacos. I appreciate their dedication to authentic flavors. Only thing keeping me from giving five stars is the cash-only policy and one of the servers who didn't seem too friendly. Overall though, I'd say this is a solid spot for anyone seeking real Mexican food. " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're craving authentic Mexican tacos, this place is a must! The handmade tortillas are worth the visit alone! The al pastor tacos really stood out for me—flavorful and with just the right kick. Casual but vibrant atmosphere, though service can be spotty on busy nights. Overall, it's my go-to for a quick foray into delicious authenticity. " (*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*)
