I had the short rib bowl with rice, black beans, and plantains. I was excellent!

The food took less than 10 minutes to come out and the staff member brought it right to my table.

I will come back.
Exceptional food and service for a fast casual style place. Great addition to the Baltimore food scene.
What a wonderful addition to Baltimore’s dining scene! Candela Arepa Bar is the newest concept from the talented team behind Alma Cocina Latina, a restaurant I’ve long adored, and it’s exciting to see them continue celebrating Venezuelan cuisine and culture in our city. The arepas are absolutely delicious, thoughtfully prepared, and bursting with flavor. Beyond the food, the space is gorgeous, with a clean, crisp, contemporary design that feels both inviting and elevated....read full review
