Kandela

Spice, Flavor & Fun Tacos & Tequilas in Naples

Authentic Mexican Cuisine & Creative Cocktails You’ll Love

Let’s taco-bout a place that’s bringing big flavor and fun vibes to North Naples — Kandela Tacos & Tequilas! If the name sounds new but the spot looks familiar, that’s because it was formerly La Santa, now refreshed and reimagined with a bright, inviting twist.

At Kandela, you’ll find authentic Mexican cuisine, a lively atmosphere, and plenty of cocktails that pack a punch. It’s the perfect spot for a Friday night out with friends or a casual date night filled with great food, laughter, and a few rounds of margaritas — all without breaking the bank.

Bold Flavors, Beautiful Presentation & a Sweet Finish

The team at Kandela brought out an incredible spread of dishes and drinks that showcase both tradition and creativity. The Birria Dumplings were a standout — rich, cheesy, and absolutely addictive. The Naples Burrito? A flavor-packed monster that could easily feed two (but you’ll want to keep it all to yourself).

Don’t miss the Ceviche for a fresh and tangy bite or the Sizzling Pineapple Fajita for something that turns heads when it hits the table. Every dish feels handcrafted with love — colorful, satisfying, and bursting with flavor.

Of course, you can’t forget about dessert! The Churro Cake is a must-try, perfectly sweet with that signature cinnamon sugar crunch, while the Cuatro Leches Cake is rich and creamy, offering a deliciously indulgent ending to the meal.
