Taqueria La Candelaria

If you’re looking for authentic Mexican food (not Tex-Mex!), this is the real deal. Every dish we’ve tried is flavorful, fresh, and made with love. We ordered out for our staff, and everyone raved about how delicious it was, true comfort food done right. They do get very busy, which says a lot about how good they are, so I definitely recommend ordering ahead to avoid a long wait. Worth every bite!

If your in the mood for Mexican food and not tex-mex, this is the place. The food has good flavor and they have plenty of options for your picky eaters. Corn tortillas are made in house and are huge. Tacos are big with generous meat portions. The reason for the 3 star rating is due to the lack of fajitas, how are you not going to sell fajitas. Also, they are cash only and it’s a little pricey. But food is good.

This (cash-only!!) fast casual taqueria features the best pastor I’ve ever had (I’ve had a lot). The tortillas are the best in dallas, maybe the entire state. I took my girlfriend to a 6 time James beard nominated taqueria in deep Ellum the day before we ate at La candelaria. She agreed that La candelaria is better. Best Quesadillas as well.

The food here was pretty amazing and authentic. A friend told me to order the goat birria broth and to dip everything I ordered in it. He was right, it was crazy good.

The tacos are amazing!! At only $2.50 each they’re huge and absolutely delicius. There’s also free popcorn which is kinda nice to snack on while you’re waiting for food. I’d definitely recommend a visit, although you can’t forget to bring some cash along.
