Help us make it rightThis Mexican-French restaurant is a great spot for romantic meals. Try the Nopales Salad if you have not been getting enough cactus in your diet lately; fear not, this is a spine-free version. Meanwhile, the Langosta Baeza is the piece de resistance; a large lobster tail stuffed with mushrooms, jalapenos, onions, bacon and tequila. Since the cuisine is rather unusual, the wine list has been...

The scents and flavors of imaginative Mexican cuisine with a European flair permeate this handsome, romantic restaurant and nightspot in the shadow of San Diego's tallest residential towers. Candles glow everywhere around the small, comfortable dining room. Fine openers such as black bean soup and watercress salad with bacon and pistachios give way to main courses like Maine lobster accompanied...
Newly re-opened after a dining room makeover with a new master at the helm. Paris-trained Martin San Roman is one of Mexico's most highly acclaimed celeb chefs, and he brings his Mexican/French Fusion cuisine from Baja to San Diego. Don't expect tacos and enchiladas, dishes like fresh sea bass on an olive tapenade, or shrimp on a crust of ancho chile, molasses, and coffee with a light mango and...
At Candelas, you’ll find a menu that emphasizes traditional Mexican ingredients and French techniques.
You won't find chips and salsa at Candelas---this Mexican restaurant is unlike most in San Diego (or elsewhere in the U.S.). The alta cocina at this romantic downtown spot features indigenous Mexican ingredients such as nopales, corn, avocados, epazote and a variety of chilies---all skillfully prepared and artfully arranged with nary a margarita in sight. The many candles (hence the name) and...
If you're in the mood for a sophisticated, romantic fine-dining experience, look no further than Candelas.

Candela's bills itself as Mexican haute cuisine, and their dishes certainly live up to that aspiration. But in a city with so many excellent dining choices, including other high-end Mexican options, it doesn't offer good value for money.
We were in San Diego for a conference and a group of us went to Candelas in the Gaslamp district for dinner. I've been there before and generally thought the food was excellent if a bit expensive.
On this visit, it seemed like the restaurant might be getting tired. The black bean soup is supposed to be their specialty, but...
I have eaten at Candela's several times, and it continues to be one of my favorite downtown San Diego restaurants. If your in town for a convention, it's an easy walk and I highly recommend it. Don't go expecting standard Mexican fare though. This is a high end restaurant with eclectic, non-traditional Latin food.with some European cooking style thrown in...
I would eat here again. A+ to presentation, taste, food quality, ambiance, A to service and price. Ask for a patio seating. It makes it that much better.
