Braza & Candela: A Taste of Latin American Excellence in Allentown

Rice, Beans and various meat. Good flavor. However, I don't go here much because it is hard to communicate and the folks seem bothered that I want to order food. (I like my experience at La Parada Del Sabor much better). They also had a bunch of the Dominican Bakery's goods. Like Tres Leches and flan. Based on their signs, they seem to have issues with people not wearing shirts and shoes in the store. And of course, when I went in, there was a guy with no shoes on... but at least he was wearing a mask! Food wise, Iike it, but don't always like the experience.

Been here a few times now. Staff is always courteous and food is consistently good. Pastelillos/empanadas are so good and meaty. Mofongo is on point and flavorful with plenty of meat. Also tried the pernil (pork shouldler) and chicharon (pork cracklings) and they were also good. Bistec encebollado (grilled steak with onions) paired with the mofongo was an excellent selection.

Love the food and the staff always so kind. I get catering from them for all my parties Best Dominican food in the valley second to my grandmas

We had the pleasure of having Braza & Candela cater my nieces Quince Yesterday and I must say the food was out of this world!!! Great food great service everything from beginning to end was on point. I highly recommend them for all of your catering needs and can't wait for my daughter's quince as I will be catering thru them as well

This place blew my mind! I just ate the best chicken of my life here. It was very tender but not dry and perfectly seasoned it tasted like it was close to Jerk chicken but not overly seasoned or salty like most jerk chicken can be. I also had to try the pork it was very good too the skin was cooked so that the outer most part hard and the inner soft and full of flavor. The rice was excellent as well I also enjoyed the green sauce I can’t explain the flavor of that sauce it just went really well with the both the chicken and the pork.

The food was on point, I wanted dinner and was met with a waitress that made feel right at home. Jokes and great service. Definitely coming back keep it up thank you.

Food is always amazing from here! Just make sure that you give them some time once they open in the morning to allow them to get the food all prepared. We'll worth the wait

One of my favorite Spanish places in the LV. Tastes like my mom's cooking and is close to home so it's perfect for a lazy day that I don't feel like cooking. Their portions are extremely generous. Catering prices are great for the portions too.
