Candelaria

★ 4.4 (3,112)$$ · Mid-range

Candelaria is a Paris institution combining a casual taco counter at the front with a dim, mezcal-focused cocktail bar hidden behind it — one of the city's original speakeasy-style venues. It remains a reliable choice for a laid-back evening of tacos and cocktails in the heart of the Haut Marais.

What people say

"I ordered the birria and lengua here. Not a big fan of both. They also provided a salsa for you to use on the tacos and I didnt like that either. Bit disappointed tbh as I was really expecting to like place. Also find it a bit weird they don’t allow you to order the tacos per piece. Everything is ordered in instances of 2. Bit hard when you’re solo dining."
