Mexican potatoes, cheese, tomatoes and so much yumminess. Their fish tacos were also delicious. The staff and vibes were great.

Hands down one of the best venues in LA! The restaurant is great too, tacos are scrumptious and the Flautas are perfectly crunchy (my fav)! Drinks are amazing too!

Everything was delicious! They have amazing drinks and if you don't like alcohol try the piña colada it looks like a smoothie. Every employee there are polite and respectful. I really recommend it!

Excellent Mexican food and super friendly staff! I've been coming here once a week for the past month and I have to say their quality is superb and constant. I worked almost 20 years in restaurants and I know how hard that is to do.

The Vegetarian tacos on taco Wednesday are so good! My favorite is the potato or corn taco! Best part is they are only $1 if you order a drink. Can't beat that!

Friendly, fun, lively Mexican joint, food was great - not the best Mexican in LA but made up for it with the environment. Would recommend for casual bites with friends.

Excellent Mexican food and super friendly staff! I've been coming here once a week for the past month and I have to say their quality is superb and constant. I worked almost 20 years in restaurants and I know how hard that is to do and they never disappoint. I'm very impressed by Candelas and Hector the bar tender takes care of you. I will continue to eat here going forward.

Bid space, good service and good lighting. I was there for a private event and the space worked out good.

Very cool space. Way bigger than the photos make it out to be! One star off for RIDICULOUS $10 a beer bar prices.

Great environment, friendly servers. Cozy bar at front, huge room for events in the back and a small second floor with a dance floor where they host various dance nights.

TACOS ARE AUTHENTIC AS YOU CAN GET, QUICK SERVICE.
IM COMING BACK TO TRY SOME TACOS DORADOS OR SOME MARISCOS.

Wrong interior restaurant pic there, Ponce de León - that's the old El Toro on Wilshire - now Spare Tire: P - 5 star blunder

Good tacos and happy hour. Make sure you arrive well before the end of happy hour as they are very strict on the end time even if you were seated in time. Service isn't always the greatest.

4 stars mainly for the venue. Tacos are ok. Guacamole is really good. Their red sauce is really spicy, you've been warned.

Not the best. The beans seemed like they were canned, waiter (Oscar) was counting his tips in front of us, and he "couldnt" split our check. The tacos were ok but it wasn't worth $15.4 tacos, a small pile of rice, and beans that were spread out on the rest of the plate. The music did not go with the atmosphere. Dim lights and a pink neon light do not mix. Not looking forward to coming back.

Every Wednesday for life, eff taco Tuesday. These are some of the best tacos in town and some of the best people serving them. A family-run business and a real gem.

Happy hour review.

Happy hour is Mon-Fri: 5-7 pm and Sat-Sun: 4-6 pm

They have select appetizers for $5-11. They have select beer, wine, and cocktails for $4-9. Their $7 Candela Taco Bar & Lounge is made pretty well with a nice tangy taste.

Bar service was good and friendly enough. The bar area has plenty of bar seating and communal tables. On a Saturday evening, this place was pretty busy.parking - metered or limited free street parking - read signs closely
