Candente is a restaurant offering flavorful Tex Mex food, including highly-rated enchiladas with cheese, beef, and chicken options, as well as brisket and nachos. The service is attentive, and the portion sizes are generous. The atmosphere is laid-back and chic, though the decor shows some wear and tear. The restaurant is also known for its fantastic fajitas and salsas, which are considered some of the best in Houston. Many customers drive in from the suburbs to enjoy the food regularly, especially on Tuesday nights when the large fajita is the same price as the medium. The food here was delicious, but the restaurant can be loud and smoky from fajitas. Drinks are only refilled once or twice during a visit, especially when busy. Overall, Candente delivers bold Tex-Mex flavors, with dishes like brisket nachos that are smoky, cheesy, and piled high. The menu also features other favorites like chile Relleno and chili lime shrimp, which add variety and excitement. While the atmosphere is lively, the decor shows some wear, and the margaritas can be too sweet, lacking acidity and taste. Parking is available in a garage behind the restaurant.
