“I want people to come into our restaurant and take pleasure in trying fantastic real authentic Mexican food and leave with an appreciation for good quality food.”-Maria Lopez Co-owner/Manager

Los Angeles Trendsetter turned Tastemaker is raising the bar:
Candela Taco Bar Open July 2009!



Los Angeles, California: Maria Lopez, of the esteemed Lopez Family; who have owned

and maintained the “Leonardo’s Nightclub” brand for over 30 years has decided to

spread her wings in the direction of authentic Mexican Cuisine. Candela Taco Bar and

Lounge has been a brain child of Maria’s for quite some time and has finally been born

as a chic, sexy restaurant; with such appeal to the masses, and the most tantalizing

Mexican food imaginable. Located adjacent to Leonardo’s at 831 South La Brea,

Candela Taco Bar is situated in a prime location for people venturing out from all over

Los Angeles.

“Candela Taco Bar is a place where I’d like people to learn about authentic

Mexican Cuisine,” says Lopez. "Most people think that “Americanized” Mexican food

is authentic, and that’s what I aim to change.” It will definitely change the way you

perceive Mexican food, if you are used to the more Americanized style. Maria has

placed a plethora of different dishes onto Candela’s menu ranging from every type

of authentic taco imaginable, fresh salads and traditional soups, and staple dishes

created in every Mexican household such as “Chile Relleno con queso,” (a roasted

poblano pepper filled with Monterrey jack cheese) and “Carne Asada,”(marinated grilled

skirt steak) with all of the traditional accompaniments. Aside from the tantalizing flare,

Candela taco bar has a full bar with a great selection of tequilas, which make for an

outstanding margarita selection, and offer an ever changing daily selection of “aguas

frescas,” (traditional Mexican fruit drinks). Candela also hosts “Happy Hour” Monday

through Sunday from 4pm-7pm, and offers $3 Margaritas Mondays along with $1 tacos

all day every Wednesday!

Lopez wants to change the image of Mexican food for those who aren’t familiar

with it, and for those who are, she along with the help of her amazing team of chefs, will
