Candela Viva — Restaurant in Garden City

I really loved this Colombian food spot 🇨🇴. The service was great, and the food was full of authentic flavor. I tried the empanadas, and they were delicious—crispy on the outside and perfectly filled 🤤. I also had the soup (sancocho/fogonazo), and it was amazing, very comforting and homemade-style.

Definitely a place I recommend if you want to enjoy real Colombian flavors in a friendly atmosphere. I’ll definitely be coming back to try more dishes from the menu. 👏✨

Me encantó este lugar de comida colombiana 🇨🇴. La atención fue muy buena y la comida con mucho sabor auténtico. Probé las empanadas y estaban deliciosas, crujientes por fuera y bien rellenas 🤤. También pedí la sopa (sancocho/fogonazo) y me encantó, muy casera y reconfortante, como hecha en casa.

Definitivamente un sitio recomendado para los que quieren disfrutar de la verdadera sazón colombiana en un ambiente agradable. Volveré sin duda para seguir probando más platos...

WOW! 🤩 I had the Empanadas de carne and pollo. Delicious! I walked by it in the mall food court and had to go back to eat. The two sauces were amazing. I am excited to go back and try other dishes. The portions are on the bigger side, so bring your appetite and/or a friend. So happy to have Colombian food...
