Candela - GOODWOOD

A truly hidden gem in Adelaide!<br/ <br/ The place is tiny and hidden in the corner which you can easily drive past it. I have been here many times even for birthday occassions and this time I will write a review;<br/ <br/ For appetisers, these are my top recommendations;<br/ Yuca Frita (fried cassava with special dip), Pastelitos (guava paste and cheese pastry -super good), and Empanadas!<br/ <br/ For mains; we had different sort of burgers, mainly with added jalapeños (pulled pork and beef burger were fantastic). Also, the bomb is La Bomba Arepas. It has all of the meat types they serve!! Man, it was super good. Arepa is a corn bread sort of wrap or bun and it tasted really soft.<br/ <br/ Dessert would be taco and caramel pudim!<br/ <br/ Best. Best. Best.

Lovely service, fabulous Latin street food. Very good empanadas, beautiful chimmichuri salsa to accompany. The bast arepas I’ve eaten in Australia, how lucky to have so close to home!

We actually got the Groupon voucher from this place and it was the right decision. If it is still on Groupon, get it! The ladies were very welcoming and friendly. It is such adorable quaint place. I noticed they also do uber so it is perfect to have your food delivered on a lazy night. We had the cassava chips, empanada, and the arepas. My favourite was the Tevor arepa among the other ones we had. The meat filling was so tasty! We also had some drinks but forgotten to take photos of it. I will come back here again even without the voucher.

On recommendation we visited for Friday lunch. Dos Equis for starters (a really nice Mexican beer and platefuls of mixed Empanada. Probably should not have attempted the Pastelitos.A fair bit of attention is put into the food and we positively over ate (hard not to! . Definitely be back for more.

Nice little quaint cafe that offers a very good vego and vegan gluten and wheat free) menu with delicious coffee to match. Had the vegy fiesta with avocado as an extra. Ablsolutley delicious and at a fantastic price. Beautiful selection of authentic coffee which was a nice compliment to a small but not under done meal, also at a great price. Recommend giving this place a go, you will be pleasantly surprised.
