Bringing Authentic Cuban Flavors to the Treasure Coast

¡Bienvenidos! From Our Family Kitchen to Yours

"Candela is more than just a food truck. It is the story of our family, a story that began in Cuba over 60 years ago.

We are Jose and Alina, and we are so proud to welcome you. We were both born and raised on the island, surrounded by the incredible smells and flavors of authentic Cuban cooking. We learned from our mothers and grandmothers— how to slow-roast pork until it falls apart, how to simmer black beans for hours until they are rich and perfect, and how to get that crispy, golden crust on a croqueta.

These aren't just 'recipes' to us. They are our heritage.

The 'Candela' Promise: No Shortcuts.

'Candela' means 'fire' or 'flame.' It's the passion you'll taste in every bite. We don't use fillers, and we don't cut corners. When we came to the U.S., we brought these traditions with us.

• Lechón Asado Our secret mojo is marinated for 24 hours in our Lechón Asado and then slow-roasted for hours.
• Ropa Vieja (Shredded beef) is hand-pulled and stewed all day in a fragrant sauce, just like abuela made it.
• Our Cubano Our Cubano is pressed fresh to order, exactly the way it's done in Havana.

We are so honored to cook for you. Thank you for being part of our journey.
