Candela Asian Fusion - Isabela — Restaurant in Isabela

During a visit to the local food truck park, I stumbled upon a truck called "Candela." The menu offered a decent variety, and the prices seemed reasonable, so I decided to give it a try, sticking to something basic since it was my first time. Unfortunately, the experience started off on a less-than-ideal note. There was a noticeable delay before the girl at the window finally took our order.

I opted for the sesame chicken bento box. The dumplings were just okay—they tasted like the frozen ones you can easily find at any supermarket, not the homemade quality I was hoping for. The fried rice, on the other hand, was disappointing. It was overly oily, and the excess grease overshadowed any other flavors the dish might have had. The sesame chicken itself was decent, but nothing particularly special.

I also ordered their seaweed avocado salad. While I understand that it’s priced at $5.95, I would have preferred to pay a bit more—say, $7.95—for a more generous serving of avocado. The tiny slice of avocado was almost lost in the sea of seaweed, though the overall flavor was decent.

In summary, my first impression of "Candela" left a lot to be desired. While I might consider returning to give them another chance, the experience wasn’t particularly memorable. Good customer service is essential for any business, and when it’s lacking, even the food can’t compensate enough to keep customers...

This small food truck on the side of the road was a hidden gem! I had the bento box with Mongolian beef, and it was absolutely delicious. The service was friendly and efficient, and they even had fans set up to keep you cool while you wait. I’d definitely come back if I’m ever in...

Sushi was strange, inside contents too mushy, exterior rice layer was flavorless, tempura shrimp not crispy at all…I had much better at SAMS club Sushi stand, and definitely much better in Houston area Sushi sold at supermarkets…sorry but they need...
