Finally premium a Mexican restaurant with GUTS to innovate and refine the classics to the next level. Hands down best fajitas I ever had.

I don’t see how fajitas could be elevated to a higher art form. Candente is not your typical Tex-Mex, it’s magnificent. Come hungry.

Very good beef fajita. For the price, we thought we would get more. It made up for that in flavor though. I found the house margarita too sweet, but squeezing some lime in fixed it. I would come back and try something else

May have been due to the weather but there were bugs (flying ants?) inside flying near our food. No one seemed bother it

Food, OK. Charro beans more like Ranch style beans.

I went to get dinner tonight at Candente and had such a wonderful experience! Drew was my server and took fantastic care of my group. He was timely and efficient! Thank you for a wonderful dinner and dining experience! I will be back :)

Love this place. Only drawback is they are always busy lol. Guess that shows how good the food is. Only drawback is for me it's overly spicy. So that limits my choices.

This place was phenomenal! We got the skirt steak fajitas cooked to medium rare and just the meat by itself was so tender and delicious. The tortillas were fresh and the sides were all excellent. We will be returning!
We enjoy Candante. The food hits and really dig the environment. It's a great date night place or spot with friends and Margarita's.
Only complaint for us was the service. Our waiter seemed really annoyed that we brought up the chips tasting really stale and asked if we could get a different batch. I know he tried explaining to us that they were fresh but me and my buddy both felt like they were very very stale.
It also took a bit for us to get the things we ordered (additional tortilla and salsa). We wanted to order more drinks but it took our waiter a while to check on us so we decided to stop by a different place for a drink.
Id definitely come back, especially for the food. And I recognize I probably just came on a bad day.

We had the best skirt steak here! Cooked and seasoned to perfection with all the best toppings. The spicy shrimp aguachile was life changing! Thoroughly enjoyed and we will be back!

Highly recommended. Dined for first time 8/3/25. Went for the fajitas. Seeking a new go-to spot for mesquite grilled fajitas that is not corporate chain and has some character and singularity. Found. Will be back. 5 star service from staff was big plus. Thanks!

Visited a few restaurants while I was in town and this place hands down is my favorite. From the parking, to the service and attentiveness it was a great experience. This will be my go to spot once I settle in town. No auto gratuity which is amazing but make sure you tip them accordingly ;-) Released
