Price is way too expensive, tacos de asada were good. But the chicken one could have used some sauce or beans, some cheese. Hay que ponerle más amor a la comida. read more

Absolutely massive torta! Very tasty. Definitely a hidden gem. Service was nice. After the food amnesia wore off I do think it was a bit of a steep price tag - $91 for 4 people. read more

Taqueria La Candelaria - Torta al Pastor - Mexican Near Me - Richardson, Texas

This place used to be good...now it's just mediocre and overpriced. Their tacos are $3.75 each (standard size) and are nothing special, except for the handmade tortilla. Everything else is $9-$12, and doesn't come with rice and beans. Will not be back! read more

This is a good spot for authentic Mexican tacos, it is clean and has AC. The service is good and the orders come out pretty fast. The tortillas are homemade and all the meat choices are good. The red salsa is definitely my go to with the tacos because the green one is extremely spicy! My go to order is pastor tacos with the delicious horchata, but the tripita, shrimp and steak are super good too. I also recommend the menudo on the weekends, it's so good! This place is CASH ONLY so keep that in mind. They also have an ATM just in case. My only complaint will be the portions being served on the tacos now. They used to serve a really good portion of meat before and now seems like they have been lowering that amount. I've been a customer for years so I can definitely tell the difference. read more

Taqueria La Candelaria - a pot of soup - Mexican Near Me - Richardson, Texas

La comida es más o menos pero sobrevalorada! Aparte los dueños son unos auténticos nacos y aprovechados quieren que los clientes paguen a sus empleados, por cierto nada profesionales. Te exigen la propina!! Abrase visto tal descaro!!! Los dueños deben de pagar a sus empleados pero son unos abusivos. No vale la pena ir a ese lugar. Hay muchos más lugares decentes en todo Dallas read more

Love this place. My husband and I order to-go from this taco spot at least 2x a month, so we've had their food maybe 20x. The pastor tacos are amazing and SO flavorful! I really enjoy their quesadillas, as well. I haven't been able to find tacos that I enjoy more than this place, and I consider myself a taco connoisseur. I don't like that they only take cash (time to get with the times!), however, there is an ATM inside. Definitely check this place out and be sure to get a pastor taco! The steak tacos are good, too. Enjoy! read more

Al parecer cambiaron de cocinero por que la comida no sabe igual. Pedí tacos y las tortillas se rompe. Y la comida no tiene sabor.

Not a fan of the tacos they are big but I prefer street tacos. The chicken quesadilla is always my to go it is huge.

Pésimo servicio para empezar. Al ordenar les pedí específicamente que me pusieran mis 2 ordenes separadas y al final me la entregaron como ellas quisieron y luego para terminarla de regar no me querían entregar mis bebidas porque la señora no las apuntó en el recibo. Quise hablar con alguien k estuviera a cargo y no supieron con quien comunicarme. Y al llegar a casa me faltaba comida. No recomiendo este lugar para nada read more

La comida de este lugar es riquísima,lastima que el servicio al cliente es pésimo ya intenté varias veces y siempre es lo mismo o peor!!!

Tortillas were great! Clean and friendly staff. A lot of reviews say no one speaks English, but all the staff I interacted with did. Quesadilla was great! Bigger tacos than Torchy's tacos priced at $3 each. Comes with meat only. Sides on table. Cilantro and onion mixed. Then cucumbers and lime. Green and red sauces were good. Pretty packed. Not too loud. Soccer game playing with audio. I liked my tacos, but didn't love them. Steak was the best out of what I tried. read more

Ive always passed by this place when I shop at Kroger. I wasnt sure if it was worth checking out, but luckily there were a few yelpers who gave it positive reviews. The atmosphere is a bit gaudy. The people are nice, but the service is not the best. Even the food a took a little longer than normal. I think I sat there for 20 minutes staring at the salsas on the table. Their tortillas are not the usually corn tortillas. They are bigger ad much softer. I almost thought they were flour as I picked them up. Once you get over the texture difference, these tacos are a real treat! The pastor is delectably sweet and savory. The beef steak had great marinade. The goat was bu far the highlight of the meal. They took a life of their own when it came to flavor. The gaminess of the goat was just the right amount to pack some flavor. My least favorite was the cabeza. The meat was basically cubed fat that didnt render soft enough to dissolve in your mouth. The salsas they offer are definitely spicy! I would say use the sauce lightly until you get use to the burn. These sauces can steal all the thunder of the meat's flavor if you use too much. The verde sauce was surprisingly way hotter than the rojo. I also like the fact they give you big bowls of cilantro, onions, cucumbers, and limes. I was very pleased with my meal. I had certain tacos in mind, but these far exceeding what I could have imagined. They look dry in pictures but thats far from reality. Make a trip to your bank for some cash and come over for great tacos. read more

Not the best but definitely not the worse. I would not try again. The green hot sauce was great though if you like your hot sauce hot. Did not care much for the red. It was super smokey. I had the head meat the Chivo (goat) and something else. The head meat was OK the rest lacked freshness. Pros: Green hot sauce and fresh homemade corn tortillas and freshly cut cilantro and onion mix. Cons: Meat freshness, bland chicken not flavorful. read more

This food is amazing. Worst thing about this place is they don't take credit cards and the menu isn't in English also but I don't mind looking up words I don't know. I would come here almost every day if they took credit cards read more

I actually really enjoyed these tacos the first time I went because the tortilla is home made and authentic. The only issue I have is that it is cash only and the customer service is not great. Besides that these are good tacos if you want an authentic homemade corn tortilla. read more

This place is a hole in the wall. First know they only take cash. Second they make their tortillas fresh. The Tacos here are about $2.50 to $3 each but they are BIG! Not your usual tiny "street taco" tortilla. I usually get 2 Tacos for myself. They have cabeza, al pastor etc. You can get quesadillas, torras (sandwiches), etc. They also have auguas frescas like or haya, Jamaica and more. This place overall is great. The staff mostly speak Spanish fluently but they do speak English. Most tables only seat 2 or 4 people but they do have a place for large groups. read more

Amazing food! A little big on the sizes but good service ! And a beautiful little environment

The best tacos you can have the tortilla is made by order and the green salsa is super hot. read more

Taqueria La Candelaria - The tacos are very big - Mexican Near Me - Richardson, Texas

This is "taqueria" was a prime example of what a taqueria shouldn't be. Over priced, not a lot of selection and missing the basic essential taqueria menu items. If you haven't hadn't a Vance to go to Mexico or right by the border as in McAllen, Laredo, Brownsville, then you would know that ALL TAUQERIAS SERVE BEANS AND OR CHIPS AND SALSA EVERYTIME WITHOUT CHARGE This restaurant didn't even have that on their extras menu. The green salsa was spicy but the flavor was too cilantro based and it wasn't satisfying and the red salsa was legit a mockery of real red salsa. These people are ripping you off. $2.50 for a small taco? BRUH i get a combo back home with 4 tacos the same size or bigger for $5. This, if you're looking for some authentic, not so over priced and good food, I suggest looking else were read more

Very good tacos. The place is kinda pricey but the tacos are kinda big. I don't know if I saw it right but I believe the tortas are $12.50 !?!? Must be some special Kobe beef or something? Would give the place 5 stars but the prices a bit too high. read more

This probably my favorite taco and quesadilla place. I just had the steak quesadilla and was good. So far my favorite is the carnitas quesadilla which are both huge. Tacos are huge as well. Fresh tortillas made by hand. Salsas are on point as well. read more

Taqueria La Candelaria - Mexican Near Me - Richardson, Texas

Me recomendaron mucho este restaurante pero desafortunadamente la cajera actuó de manera muy grosera. Pedí que si me podían tostar mi quesadilla un poco más y dijo que no. (Se supone que yo como cliente me voy a comer la quesadilla y tiene que estar a mi gusto) también pedí que quería un café y le dije que no me llenara mi vaso y también me dijo que lo tenía que llenar todo. No entiendo que clase de restaurante es si no van hacer lo que quiere uno como cliente. Se que no exagero porque en ese momento llego otro cliente y se salio muy enojado diciéndole cosas a la cajera. (Cajera maría) read more

The best food ever. This is my second time here and I'm not disappointed. The portions are huge. I had a torta and I could have shared this. The tacos are really big and the tortillas are hand made. They only accept cash as payment and they automatically add a tip if you have a party of 6 or more. Best authentic Mexican food in the area. You won't be disappointed!! read more

Taqueria La Candelaria - Carnitas torta - Mexican Near Me - Richardson, Texas

La atención de las cajeras es mala contestan mal además de estar caro para lo que venden y el servicio, y el menudo más agua que nada.

My experience at this restaurant was a bit disappointing. Whomever is in charge of this staff needs to really think of doing something else. I'm usually not a person that judges a restaurant based on looks since most of the times the food is what makes the restaurant. Right!? Note: This restaurant ONLY takes cash Note: I came to the restaurant twice on the same day, (lunch, and dinner), since we were working on all day project that kept us at the office most of the day. On both of my visits, the smell at the restaurant was BAD. As if the person that's in charge of mopping the floors was reusing the same water from a week ago. Man, it smelled really bad. I was hoping that it was a one time thing when I came during the lunch hour...but, it wasn't the case. I came close to leaving...but, the coworkers decided to give this place another chance regardless of the smell. Just in case you're wondering what brought me back, the homemade tortillas that this place does for their tacos, and their freshly made salsas are very good. And the portions are huge too...wow, I couldn't believe the size of the tacos, and quesadillas. This place is definitely a place for eating big portions for a cheap price. The flavors of the food are a bit hit, and miss. At times, the food had the can food taste...man, it was a bit disappointing. If it wasn't for the awesome homemade tortillas that this place makes....I would have been giving this restaurant a Two Star rating. I would NOT recommend this restaurant for good street style tacos...but as a big bang for your buck restaurant only. read more

Cash only but authentic Mexican food and authentic Mexican tortillas. I will be visiting here again, Spanish is preferred here with very little English understood but my goodness is it good! Can't wait to come back Remember it is cash only read more

3 adults and 2 kids. 2 tortas and 3 tacos, and 3 drinks, total was $76!!! Way too expensive for what we ordered, first and last time i ever eat here. read more

Very tasty food, but beware they only accept cash and they don't tell you until you are about to pay. There is only a tiny sing at the entrance door that's says " solo efectivo" which means cash only. I speak my first langauge and I totally miss the sign. Great food but shady bussines practice and overpriced. Sadly we will not be going back. read more

Taqueria La Candelaria - Mexican Near Me - Richardson, Texas

It is cash only so come prepared so you don't have to run over to the atm that's in the parking lot. They also only speak Spanish so brush up on your lessons, luckily That wasn't an issue but I could see it being an issue for people with little to no Spanish skills. The steak street tacos were delicious, and they have bottled comes from Mexico which are the best because they have real sugar and they have horchata which tasted great and really fresh. They also have tons of Mexican candy at the register so you can pig out on even more deliciousness. read more

My parents have been getting tacos since it's been open, let me just say the tacos de pastor here are to die for!! They are probably the only place that actually uses big tortillas the only downside is that the food is greasy therefore the tortillas break off easily. Also I have actually only stepped in there once and the customer service was horrible the lady there was rude. Since then I just let my parents order it. Still great tacos de pastor! read more

Not super impressed but I guess it wasn't awful for the price. We got carnitas, steak, chicken, spicy pork, and cow head. The cow head was kind of fatty, the chicken was plain and unseasoned, the carnitas were okay but greasy, the steak had some decent flavor but also fatty, and the spicy pork had the best flavor but not really spicy. The red salsa is bitter so I didn't have much. The tomatillo was flavorful but too SPICY for this gringo. Not bad overall I suppose but definitely not much to shout about. read more

The homemade corn tortillas are good and the tortillas are nicely sized but i found the fillings to be lacking flavor.

This is probably the best Mexican food I have eaten for a long time. It just came as a surprise, I went next door to cut my hair then came here to have lunch. I can't even read the menu. Lol read more

This is honestly one of my favorite Taqueria. Delicious food and great aguas frescas. The service is not so great. They lack of attentiveness, training and respect. I paid at the Cash Register, the lady gave me the change and proceeded to say "Here is a Tip Jar just in case you want to Tip" when i already had left her a 20% tip at the table. I work in the restaurant industry and i know to tip even for a bad service. I feel very disrespected that I will not be coming back. read more

The tacos and the consomé are amazing here! The homemade corn tortillas make the taco a whole different experience. I see a lot of reviews saying that the tacos are expensive but each taco is like eating 2 tacos. Portions are big. The meats are juicy and tender, the salsas are spicy so delicious. read more

A friend recommended this place to my husband we got bistro tacos and they were so good this will be our favorite taco place from now on !! It's a cash only business so make sure to bring cash read more

Only flavor that the food has is saltiness.Tacos has more of toppings than actual meat

If you like tacos and great Mexican food you should give this place a try! It's in an unassuming location by a Kroger, but the food is always great and the portion sizes are huge. It's a great value for the money. A couple of tacos will fill most people up. Their hot sauces are very good too and they have other offerings if Tacos aren't your thing. They only take cash so be aware of that and have servers if you sit and eat there, but you can also take out by ordering at the counter if you want. read more
