The BEST tacos!! This place has some incredibly flavorful food. The prices are great, and take-out is so easy. My favorite is the guac they have on top!

The service was incredibly friendly, the food was truly authentic. Guacamole was so fresh and right on the spot. The price was very reasonable considering the quality and the quantity of the food. I'd definitely visit again. All my friends loved the food!! Highly recommend this place :)

We ordered take out, but the restaurant was kept very clean and the inside was so cozy and colorful. All of the staff were super nice and they were quick on their feet. We ordered carne asada street tacos and they were well worth it— and the price was more than reasonable for the quantity. Amazing tender beef with the perfect amount of cilantro and onion. I was a little worried when they said guacamole came on the tacos, but I’m glad I didn’t request they take it off because it was so good. Both their red and green tamatillo sauces are also amazing and added so much flavor and spice to the tacos. ALSO— don’t worry about asking for extra limes for your tacos (most places don’t give you enough), but we were given so many slices with the order that we have a ton left over. 1,000% will be coming back here.

La Candelaria 73 S. Washington Ave. 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

This place is a legit mexican restaurant. The food, the vibes, and service was great! I had the 4 sopes with chicken, and i was able to have two different meats (chicken and steak). Since i asked how sweet was the café de olla, the lady that took our order gave me a bit in a small cup to taste it. I thought it was enough sweet for me :). These kind of gestures just shows that the place can accommodate to your needs and they do their best to serve you well. This just became my second best go to mexican restaurant if im around this area. Also: The PRICES are super inexpensive, you can have a good meal on a budget. Overall, recommending this place
