Candente

Went to Candente with some friends. I like that it's kind of hidden in a neighborhood. The atmosphere was nice. They have an outdoor covered patio area. I had a blueberry margarita, it was ok. The salsa was good. My favorite was the green salsa. They had plenty of menu items some of which are made for you to share. I forgot which number we ordered but there was bacon wrapped shrimp, grilled shrimp, sausage, chicken and a couple of other meats. They only give you three plates of condiments so I had to order the fourth one. There was plenty of food for us to share and take a little bit home. I appreciated that the waiter was able to split the check between the four of us. I’d like to go back and try the smoked brisket enchiladas.

We went out to watch a soccer match on Sunday morning with a friend at a pub over on West Alabama and after the game we wanted to grab a bite to eat at a new place. We found Candente on Google and decided to give it a shot. Very good decision on our part! We were sat immediately (we chose the outdoor patio area as the weather was really nice) at approximately 1p on Sunday afternoon. Chips and salsa options arrived immediately and both salsas were excellent. Great flavor and the green sauce has a nice bit of heat on the back end. Our drink order was also taken straightaway. Wife had a large Paloma which she really enjoyed and the kids had Jamaica and said it was great. I went with water. Refills were timely and arrived as needed. We ordered the large beef fajita plate for everyone and

Would have liked to have been asked/ given the option of sitting inside or out but the hostess neglected to ask. They had a beautiful water feature that was very peaceful Ceiling fans and table fans was a nice touch. The food was very good Service was quick and the waiter was excellent. It was my first time going and it will definitely come back. Very strong margaritas!

Finally at Candente Tex Mex. Montrose… I just got something the waitress recommended. This place is quite unique, I will give it that. lol I had to park WAY down the street. That sidewalk was murder!! 😅 I don’t see that well these days and you have to be careful!!! Guacamole salad and Red Sangria to start. Crowded for lunch on Saturday.

Went for work dinner with 12 people. Tried most of the popular appetizers and we ordered beef, chicken and shrimp fajitas for the whole group. The sauces were phenomenal. The cocktails are very tasty and refreshing. I would go again.
