There needs to be…read morea lot of improvement to this restaurant and I'm going to put it out there so hopefully someone from this restaurant will see it. It's a beautiful atmosphere a cool ambience I mean there's so much room for lot of improvement. Mind you we went on a Monday, which is not as busy as a weekend. I had a party of six there was enough tables, and for God sakes there was another room in there that she could've sat me down, but she said to me I had to wait for my party. My party was unfortunately a half an hour late. I am disabled and she did not even offer me to sit down or even say do you want to wait by the bar and have a drink while you wait for your party I stood there for five minutes contemplating what to do because I just didn't even feel welcomed then finally my party showed up the waiter that we had was too busy worried about his FIFA soccer bet more than us. The only reason why I know about this bet is because I was sitting next to the bar as he was talking to the bartender about the bet that he had. We sat at that restaurant for 2 1/2 hours again Monday night not so busy he took his time asking us what we wanted what was going on. He was very laid-back for being a waiter. The bus boy worked harder than him and was trying to make sure that we were OK. It took about three chip baskets to finally get our food and mind you we didn't even order appetizer so imagine if we did ordered appetizer because then we would've been there for three hours. The food was OK wasn't anything spectacular and there was a table sitting next to us. They had the same situation but theirs was worse because of the fact that they were a family of four with two young kids so they ordered the two Young kids got their order served meanwhile, their parents didn't get the order when they start asking questions. I believe the woman is an assistant manager, I will be honest with you. She shouldn't even be in that position because she did not make anything better. All she said to them was I will go check in the kitchen to see where your food is and then she she came back to the father and was like oh well what we can do is pack up your dinner if you cannot sit here any longer or we can offer you a discount ready for this a discount of 20% what does that do to the bill because that 20% could've went to the waiter who by the way was our waiter too so here you go you had two people sitting in the waiter station, and this waiter was basically messing up the business and mind you the two kids got their food way before we did and mind you we were there earlier another improvement that needs to be done is the menu it is too dark in there as I even saw other customers with their phones out and the flashlight on I had my flashlight and magnifier on to see what was going on, so my suggestion is to get those menus re-printed and give it a cleaner look so people can actually see what is on the menu personally, I will not return. I just had to give this review so that people could understand what was going on here on a night that was not even busy so imagine the night that it is busy and I will tell you that lady was had rubbed me the wrong way since I walked into the restaurant, not making me feel comfortable especially that I'm disabled with a cane the only saving grace of that restaurant is the atmosphere and the decor the bus boy who was an older gentleman who really cared about that restaurant and another older gentleman that's at sat us down and the bartender that evening again good luck and here is my photos from the food that was not even that bad. It's just the service needs to be worked on and the menus.

Let's start with…read morethe positives, the design of the restaurant created prime Mexican vibes, and the service was actually quite stellar!! Now for the food, the queso was basically melted cheese, which isn't bad if you think about it(I eat melted cheese all the time!!) but a queso should be a good dip for chips and stuff. When it came to the tortillas, they were not bad, but they were not necessarily fresh authentic Mexican tortillas. The last thing for food is that the portions were not the size I would prefer, especially for how much it cost, and my stomach was still growling for more munches and grub by the end of the meal... Overall, I would swing by if I was passing by, but I don't make a whole trip out of dis place. -DaQuan out

This one is very good. I got chicken tinga, al pastor, and chorizo and they were all very good, packed with flavor. Chicken tinga is nice shredded up chicken with really good flavor. The Alpastor was very good, great flavor cooked good. Comes topped with pineapple. The chorizo was my favorite it was slightly spicy but great flavor. Love that it's crumpled up. I only gave it 4/5 stars cause it was a bit pricey it was $21 for 4 tacos but they were very good definitely worth the money. Service was great you can order from the person or there is a iPad to order on. They came out fast. Lots of seating inside as well, high top tables and regular tables towards the back. I will definitely be back

Love the chicken Al pastor, carne asada and pollo tacos that come with so many ingredients. We just discovered the chicken quesadilla is also top notch. Of course can't get enough of their street corn and the guacamole. I wish they add a bit more flavor the carne asada. I have signed up for the rewards account that gets me points for every dollar. Also found they have $100 gift cards for $80 at Costco. Bought a bunch, so we are dining with a 20% discount :D

I was craving Mexican food, so I chose La Candelaria to try their sopes…read more The order I placed came with four pieces; I asked for one of each filling: carne asada, trompo, chicken, and chorizo. Two were enough to make a satisfying meal. I'll share the other two with my husband. Now, regarding the sopes themselves: I can honestly say that the quality was so authentic, it felt just like eating them in Mexico. The meat--both the beef and the pork--was delicious; they are topped with lettuce and either *queso fresco* or *queso panela*. On the side, the order also comes with a sautéed serrano pepper, limes, radishes, and nopales. Each order includes a green salsa and a red salsa; they were quite spicy--flavor-wise they were good, though a bit on the runny side. The price per order is excellent, and as I mentioned earlier, one order is enough to feed two people since the sopes are generously filled. This time, I ordered directly through the Yelp app (which redirects to Grubhub), and the delivery was very fast. Kudos to the team--I will definitely be ordering from this place again! It is 100% recommended. God bless you all.

Washington Ave…read more Bergenfield, NJ 07621 Horchata Tortilla Chips with Salsa Sopes Fried Pork Burrito Pasta Di Mare Located along the Washington Avenue strip is a local restaurant that specializes in authentic Mexican cuisine. The colorful, lively atmosphere is impressive and adorned with lots of wall art; even the booths have attractive decorations. Horchata: It was hard to make a choice, but I decided to explore the horchata. This refreshing drink with a hint of cinnamon and vanilla hit the spot! Tortilla Chips with Salsa: Prior to the main course, I was chowing down on delicious tortilla chips with homemade salsa. If you enjoy tortilla chips, you are going to love what's next. Sopes: These open face corn tortillas have a crunchy bottom. Hidden underneath the sour cream and cilantro are proteins. A few of the meat options are Mexican sausage, steak, or pork. Don't be shy with the green sauce if you want an extra kick or squeeze some lemon if you prefer a bright, tangy flavor. Fried Pork Burrito: All of the toppings are packed into a 12-inch flour tortilla. This looks so beautiful I was in awe by its appearance alone. It is filled with fried pork, rice, beans, guacamole and all the other trimmings. Pasta Di Mare: As a bonus, this location also sells Italian dishes. Do you "see" all of this seafood? Check out the variety of marine life including calamari, mussels, clams, and shrimp over linguine. All of this classic marine life is served over linguine. Also included Is a side of garlic bread. If you want some extra flavor, feel free to dunk away. It was truly an authentic experience dining in this Mexican restaurant. #lacandelaria #bergenfieldnj #friedporkburrito #Sopes #horchata #pastadimare #TortillaChips #salsa #eats #foodreview #foodstagram #LocalSpot #njfoodie #mexicanfood #mexicancuisine #eats #localspots

Staff was friendly overall, though there was a bit of a language barrier at times. Service was still welcoming. Parking is metered street parking and can be a bit limited during busy times since they do monitor the meters closely. Important note for anyone with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity: this is not a safe kitchen for strict gluten-free needs. Everything is cooked on a shared grill, including flour and corn tortillas, and there is cross-contact through shared frying oil used across items containing wheat. Because of this cross-contact, I got sick after eating here and won't be returning. For those without dietary restrictions, it may still be a solid casual taco spot, but it's not suitable for gluten-free diners.

I saw a Facebook ad promoting "8 Free Wings" with any purchase of an entree + drink and I was sold…read more Arrived a little after 1PM on a Friday, and I was the only one in the restaurant. The place is very clean and decorated nicely. Food: I ordered two items: I got the Al Pastor Guarache and the 8 piece Buffalo Wings. First off: reading other Yelp reviews, was I supposed to be served free chips + salsa while I was waiting for my food? That never happened. Minus point for that. In any case, here's the low-down on my order: a Guarache is "masa dough with smashed pinto beans, cotija cheese, and green sauce". I was suprised I coudn't find any photos of it here on Yelp, so I guess I'm the first. To be honest, it was very good! I have nothing to compare it to, but I do like that along with the al pastor pork, they added quite a bit of the pineapple to the top of the "guarache" which translates to "sandal" in Mexican. It's a similar shape. On to the wings: honestly, for a Mexican spot ---- they were spot-on wit the wings! They were fresh, crisp, and a tangy buffalo sauce. 8 pieces for free is quite a promotion. I'm surprised the place wasn't bustling, but then again it was a weekday. Hopefully on the weekends they get good business. Big props to Guadalupe for being helpful and for the service she provided! I was a bit hesitant to come here because I saw some "mixed reviews", but maybe because I was the only one --- things couldn't have gone better? Who knows! What I do know is that I have a birthday coupon to use --- and I'm coming back...pronto!

My friend and went there on a complete whim. It popped up when we were searching for a place to go…read more Boy, am I so glad we did!! First, the place is very clean and well kept. Decor was minimal but nice and comfortable. Had great music in the background (80's rock - yes I'm GenX). We decided to sample a few things so for appetizers we got the mini calzones (sausage and broccoli rabe) that came 3 on a plate and were about the size of a ravioli and stuffed full. Absolutely delicious. Not overwhelming in garlic taste or sausage - a perfect balance. We also got the lobster dumplings. This came in a small bowl with broccoli florets and a tasty sauce. There were 4 dumplings and again, perfect balance, did not have an overwhelming lobster smell at all and the sauce was tangy with a sweet aftertaste. We also had the ahi tuna tacos, came 2 on a plate, piled high with cabbage, a slice of avocado, tuna, and a crème sauce that left me wanting more, and 2 cucumber slices on top. Again - delicious. For dinner we split the Ahi Tuna and it came with Soba Noodles and Bok Choi in a sauce. The tuna was seared with, what tased like, crushed red pepper flakes but it only had a slight "kick" to it. Everything was cooked perfectly and tasted so great. We got the polenta on the side and it was perfect for offsetting the spice! Dessert matched the meal in its taste and presentation! We had the dark chocolate mousse and the napoleon. I think the best part of both was the ice cream that came with it, a perfect addition to the dessert and presented with such elegance that you almost didn't want to eat it. Our waiter was fantastic. He gave us some good suggestions that we went with and did not steer us wrong. Right now, they are BYOB. We had a great chat with the chef on our way out and he was super nice and friendly (and he beat Bobby Flay!). This is our new favorite place and can't wait to go back to try more. They have a lunch menu that is different from the dinner menu that I can't wait to try. Chef Michael says his chicken burger is the best! Gotta try it!!
