Candelaria

The Candelaria is a Mexican taquería which isn’t much to look at but offers homemade tacos and tostadas at very reasonable prices for the area that it’s in. The food is tasty and the atmosphere is relaxed. But where are all the customers disappearing to when they head towards the back of this little white room? Towards a trendy bar situated behind a secret door, hidden from the eyes of those that are unaware of its existence. One of the district’s must-see venues, which attracts Parisian hipsters and trendy expats who come along every evening to enjoy its carefully composed cocktails. These are the people that give this cosy venue its reputation. Exposed stone, subdued lighting, comfortable sofas and background music that has been mixed by DJs: the recipe to success, followed by a number of cocktail bars that have since opened in the capital.
