"Candeleros promises a unique dining experience through a freshly prepared, original menu, warm & friendly service, extraordinary atmosphere with a commitment to value, quality and generosity of spirit!"
When you enter Candeleros, you feel like you have entered a true, Mexican cantina. Authentic decor with colors of Mexico and the Southwest & while casual, we rock with a vibrant staff and an atmosphere that says 'fiesta' every day!
The cuisine? Candeleros uses fresh ingredients to create wonderfully bold flavors - from authentic, regional Mexican to the flavors of Tex-Mex and the Southwest - all working together to make Candeleros Manchester's favorite get-away.
Candeleros is celebrating its 11th year in the heart of Manchester, Vermont. Nestled in the beautiful green mountains, Candeleros was built in the early 1800s as a train stop. Through the years, it has housed some of Vermont's oldest families and then remained empty until Jack Gilbert, a local artist living in New York City moved back to Manchester and decided this lovely old building would make a wonderful restaurant.
The challenge was to make Candeleros as beautiful as the building itself. Jack felt he had to remain true to history and therefore spent time both in Mexico and working in one of the finest Mexican restaurants in New York City.
Jack quickly realized that many 'gringos' had the wrong impression of Mexican food. he discovered amazing flavors and textures along with a natural, healthy quality.
Over the years, Candeleros has become one of the top restaurants in the area and a 'must stop' for many travelling through.
