Don’t you just love uncovering new and fantastic places to have a meal that are affordable to eat at more than once in a while?  Well, just over the bridge on NE 6^th across from KMart you will find Candela Latin and Mediterranean Restaurant.  This six table and five bar seat restaurant makes you feel like you are in both a restaurant and cozy enough that you will get to know the owner Armando and his wife and family. 

I first heard about Candela while at a pool party that they were catering and was able to sample some of the food before going in, which made me want to go in.  First, the kebabs are amazing, fresh and grilled to perfection with just the right amount of crunchies and crispies all while keeping the juiciness of the meat at the perfect consistency.  They have a fairly lengthy Breakfast Menu that includes a ham, cheese, and egg sandwich on ciabatta bread with fries, eggs with ham or sausage, slow roasted pork with three eggs, fritattas, Greek omelets, or you could do a la carte and create your own breakfast.  Their Lunch menu is amazing and I had the Lemon & Garlic Crispy Chicken that came with white rice and black beans that, if you are in the mood for non-breaded fried chicken with skin, this is the dish you need to get!  I almost forgot how good fried chicken skin could be.     

They also have a pan-seared fish fillets, Ropa Vieja, Rib Eye Palaomilla, Cuban Style Slow Roasted Pork, Grilled Chicken Breast with vegetables (which look amazing), Picadillo Habanera con Tostones which are Havana style ground beef stew and double fried Plantains, as well as plenty of other things that will make your mouth water. 

This is a great place to go to sit back and relax, to call up and Take Out (and pass it off as your own), or better yet—call ahead and have them Cater your next event.  They have Lunch Specials for only $5.75 and are good from Monday to Saturday until 5:30pm.  Drop by and tell Armando Mark’s List recommended them!
