Second time coming here and just as great as I remember. Portions are adequate. Flavors and authenticity in the food are there. Staff were friendly, engaging and patient. Not a very large place but a good intimate size. Prices are fair. Good place for picky eaters. There’s something for everyone.

The steak in the Bistec a lo pobre was awful. Get it with entraña instead (you have to ask, it’s not listed on the menu). Anticuchos de corazón was awful as well, horrible texture - rubbery & flavorless. When I complained about the steak & got my steak switched our server charged me $30 as an upcharge (for just the steak) on top of paying for my original meal which I didn’t like. Instead she could’ve charged me $45 total for the entraña with the sides but they ended up charging me $57 for a below avaerage meal. The server was nice but she took forever with everything & it was a horrible experience in general.

Update 07/18/2025 It has been a while since we visited our favorite Peruvian restaurant. We had our favorites: Rondo Maria, Chicharron de Pescado and of course Pisco Sours and Chicha Sours. Everything was excellent, including the service. Update 10/8/2024 We stopped in for lunch. Everything was amazing! Great service from Joel, great Pisco Sours from Jonathan, and great food from the kitchen. The presentation of each dish was beautiful. Each dish was perfect. I am so happy that we decided to have lunch at La Candela. We highly recommend this restaurant and we will be back more often. I am happy when my family is happy. My wife and mother-in-law are from Peru and love the authentic Peruvian food served here. They rave about the ceviche. I love the Pisco Sours. Andres always takes care of us. The entire staff treats us like family. I cannot say enough good things about this restaurant. Try this place! Update: Many things have changed due to covid-19. Restaurant hours. Restaurant staff. Restaurant food. Restaurant service. My family and I have been coming here for years. We miss our favorite Restaurant and staff. We wish the new staff well and hope that they improve. We will be back to give La Candela our support and another chance😔 Update 6/24/2021 Another great lunch with family at La Candela today. Food and service were excellent. Pisco Sours were on point. Thank you Jorge for making us feel like family again

Ordered delivery of lomo Saltado. The beef strip is rubberized and greasy. French fries were soaked in the sauce instead of served by the side.
