Kandela

Kandela is a lively Mexican restaurant in Queens celebrated for its vibrant atmosphere, colorful Dia de los Muertos mural art, and generous portions. Featured highlights include sizzling steak fajitas served with all the fixings, chicken enchiladas, calamari, and an extensive lineup of strong tropical cocktails and flavored margaritas.

While commenters consistently praise the potent drinks and frozen margaritas, many report that the food quality has recently declined. Patrons also complain about slow service and inflated prices, while frequently noting that the restaurant is located on Crossbay Boulevard rather than Woodhaven Boulevard.
