I recently went to the Grand Central Market for breakfast one day and ran across this sweet shop. My partner was really in her sweet tooth cravings and we checked the shop. The amount of options this store had was massive from regular candy to different candy from different places. So I got a one pound of her Chili gummies and she was really satisfied with them. The woman helping us gave us great service and was really nice letting us try some samples. The ambience was really cool and colorful with the arrangement of candies. read more

I must tell you the nuts here are terrible and seem to be sitting in the case for a while! I got the chili limon which were the most unfavorable nuts i have ever had. You couldn't even taste the chili on these. The cashews were a bit better but not that great! I'm glad i only got half of pound of each instead of a full. After trying to eat about half the bag i just couldn't do it anymore. I ended up throwing both bags in the trash. read more

Friendly service and a large variety of snacks weighted to go! I'll be back for some Mango Chamoy! It's a spicy pickled mango!

Anna is the best of all bombs. That woman can sell candy to a dead man. She will find the flavor your looking for in an inventory that looks like an ocean of candy barrels. Thank you Anna you are the BEST! read more

A GCM staple. Truly not with the trip down to the market without hitting up La Huerta. The gushers with chamoy are life changing and my favorite snack to bring to the movies. Ivan is el jefe and will hook you up with whatever you are looking for. A huge selection to choose from. Don't miss this spot next time you are in DTLA! read more

Me and my family went to visit this historic place in downtown and decided to stop by and get some candy for me and my kids. But the red head employee look like she didn't want to work and while we were waiting she was taking her sweet time to come from the back. Also I wanted to mention that she did not use any gloves to handle the candy so who knows we're her hands been at and she said that they don't have to use gloves. Also I ask her a question about how to buy and she seemed annoyed and bother so I just paid what I needed to pay. read more

La Huerta Candy is a great place to bring kids or even a really big kid like myself. There's so many different kind of options. If you are looking for some classic Mexican candy. They've got you covered. they have all different flavor profiles from salty, sweet, sour and spicy. The gentleman working the counter was very friendly and helpful. He was also very patient with us trying to decide what we wanted. I literally felt like a "fat kid in a candy shop" The options were limitless. I tried some of the dried mangos, other fruit and gummies covered in the Mexican chili flavor. I enjoyed some and others not so much. They had some really cool gummies with cool subject matter like gummy dinosaurs. I really wanted to get my son the gummy green army men read more

Great service, vast variety of candy, and the best sour candy for us sour candy freaks!

RUDE AS HELL. I'm a new single mother, by brain is still a fog because I'm constantly thinking of many things that I have to do. Came here with my daughter and wanted something sweet after my meal. I nicely asked if he was closed and I noticed he kept looking at something over and over....his "closed sign". After apologizing to him not realizing he was closed he was asking me what I wanted. So much for trying this place out. Never again! read more

mainly mexican candies this place is aweome!! they have the original small sized sour cherry coke bottles. it was only $4.95 which is cheaper than sweet factory read more

Nowadays, there are very few people who understand and can deliver exceptional customer service -- especially in a city like Los Angeles, where snobereity can run one fatigue. And Ana is certainly one of those precious, rare jewels anyone would be lucky to have in their possession because of the value she brings to their business. Her charisma, uniqueness, nerve, and tenderness certainly created a welcoming environment within the first 30 seconds of just engaging with her. So much so, it was so inviting (shoutout to you specifically Ana!!), and the candy was BOMB AF, I came back 10 mins later to purchase more candy. 10/10 best quality candy ever acquired -- bless your divine candy!! read more

I will always return for the chili gushers!!! They are literally the most perfectly tasting balanced chili mix I've ever tried. Customer service is top notch, he allows you to sample whatever you'd like, even the fresh mango pickled in chamoy which was BOMB!! They also sell chamoy pickle kits, I had NO IDEA. Get them before they're gone!! The place itself is a very cool booth it has all the candies displayed it's very colorful and eye-catching. I love love love all their candies there's a HUGE variety. Definitely coming back for more, as always! read more

I felt like a kid in a candy store. Located in Grand Central Market, La Huerta has reasonably priced candies. For a small store, they have a large selection from gummies to sour candies and nuts. However, I did not see any chocolate. I got a quarter pound of chamoy candy (watermelon, mango, and sour belts) which came out to less than $5. What a treat! read more

Great service. Amazing candy choices!! Would definitely come back again when im craving it.

Went to Grand Central Market to get out the house and came across La Huerta Candy. I'm going to be honest I'm not really a sweets type of person but when I tasted these blueberry sour belts in Chile it brought back childhood memories of eating the sour belts in school and going to my grandmas for Chile candy. For them to mix the sweet and sour with Chile is a out of this world experience and not one over powers the other. It's a perfect balance of both to the point I had to stop myself from eating the whole half a pound haha I would highly recommend checking this place out if you live sweet and spicy. read more

I was walking around Grand Central Market and came across La Huerta. I figured that because of COVID there wouldn't be any samples given so was content with just window shopping. They still carefully do samples here so I got to try out what had held my attention there: Taijin spiced gummies! I was skeptical but after trying the gummy bears and the gummy worms I was hooked! The man behind the counter was friendly and helpful and was quick to see if there was anything else. I didn't want to take too much advantage of his goodwill since I expect to be back soon for a re-up of the gummies. read more

Cool little candy place. If it is convenient, stop by and grab some samples. They're usually very friendly about samples. I wouldn't pay for parking for this place but I would come back if it is convenient. read more

This is my favorite stall at Grand Central Market and wish they shipped! Just finished the last of my spicy mango sour belts and wish I had bought more when I was in LA! The candy is so fresh and there's plenty to choose from! Must have for anyone that likes Mexican candy and gummies. Reasonably priced too! If the owner is reading this review -- please think about starting an online business! Can't find good Mexican gummies like this anywhere else! read more

The worst candy shop ever coz the cashier was rude af and didn't know how to smile at all. Zero customer service. Came to buy my 3 kids candies, and one of my kids took 1 minute to decide (well yea that's pretty normal for kids at candy shop coz he kinda wants everything right?!) and he was clearly annoyed! So you expect adults only to come buy candy??? DON'T work at candy shop if that's what u want! Not professional. wouldn't recommend this place to anyone ever read more

I came here two weeks ago for the first time and I cannot stop going, I've ate a pound of chamoy gummies and I cannot stop myself. I had to hide them from myself! hopefully I can control myself or I may stop by again this week. They're so good, they let you mix from the wide variety they have. I've tried maybe 6-9 different tajin/chamoy gummies and they were all just as good. Maybe I'm going to get some dried fruit next time because I need to chill. My friend also bought a pound of mixed candy and he ate it all in 2 days and he won't stop talking about it. Also the two times I went the people that took my order were really nice. read more

La Huerta Candy - Mix of chamoy/tajin gummies - Candy Stores Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Heading back to the car we decided to stop at the candy store for a little sweet treat for our car ride back home. I ended up picking out sour belts, strawberry apple flavor I believe and we couldn't go wrong with some sour gummy worms. I only got a little bit since I wasn't sure on the pricing or how fresh they were going to be. Price was good, and when we got back to the car we dug right in. The flavors we're really good, and the quality of freshness was there as well. Will be back again to try more items and flavors. read more

Located inside the Grand Central Market this stall provides all your snackers ample variety to get your snack on. From nuts to dried fruit and more, I was mesmerized by the variety. The man behind the counter was very nice -- very patient while I finally selected the chili mangoes. These mango slices only has the chile powder on it, no sugar, or anything else. The mango slices I buy from the farmers market has sugar which I'm really not partial to -- so these worked quite well. There are other similar stall there, but I thought this one had the most variety! read more

Candy lover's heaven! A wall of sugary goodness awaits you at La Huerta. I looked at all these bins of candy and settled on the 4D gummy fruit and bears. The man at the counter was so nice to give me a sample. Fresh and delicious. I paid about $4 for a bag of assorted gummies and it was worth it. People around me were ordering chamoy candy, I'm not sure what that is, but it looked spicy and sweet at the same time. So much candy to pick from to satisfy your sweet tooth. read more

In our experience, all of the candy that was chosen was fresh and easy to chew. Just throwing that out there. read more
