The first clue to finding La Candelaria is that there are no clues

Located in my favourite neighbourhood, La Candelaria is a bar that’ll be hard to find but worth the visit. You’ll have to go through a tiny taqueria that serves delicious Mexican street food, and you’ll wonder if you really entered the right place since there’s no music or anything else to hint at the bar hidden behind the backdoor. 

No one expects to find a candle-lit bar with cool music and fantastic cocktails behind that door and yet here it is! One of the Top 50 bars in the world, the hip place serves refreshing margaritas and herb-based cocktails that are perfect for a date or a pre-night out.

The only way to enter and exit is to go through the tiny taco place.
