Restaurants near Candlelight Plaza Shopping Center

Wonderful Ambiance, Food & Service! Very unique & great restaurant to get together with family & friends, celebrate instyle!

Jun was amazing! Every dish was absolutely delicious. We really enjoyed the shrimp starter, the croutons on the gem lettuce were to die for! And the branzino was beautifully butterflied and large enough to share with 2 people! The sweet potatoes and brisket were also tasty. This is a great spot for date night or a cozy catch up with a friend. The ambiance and decor give it a bohemian feel. This has been added to my allstar list.

La Lucha has officially become one of my favorite spots in Houston! My boyfriend and I visited for the second time, and it was just as incredible as the first. We had the fried chicken, greens, chargrilled oysters, and biscuits, and everything was perfection. The fried chicken was crispy, juicy, and perfectly seasoned—truly some of the best in the city. The greens were flavorful and well-cooked, with just the right balance of tang and spice. The chargrilled oysters were smoky and rich, bursting with flavor. And those biscuits? Absolute heaven—light, buttery, and practically melting in your mouth. The atmosphere is cozy yet lively, and the staff was attentive and friendly, making the experience even better. La Lucha is a gem, and I can’t wait to come back for visit number three! Highly recommend!

This place is outstanding. One of the best sashimi in the city.

Our server, Maurice, was excellent. I appreciated the cadence with which he checked in on our table but, more importantly, his recommendations were outstanding. I do not think we would have ever considered the octopus but he was right by describing it as the best in the city. Otherwise, our table had a steak special, two different pizzas and the Vingole pasta. Besides the four cheese pizza not listing the hot honey on the menu, we all loved our meals, including the sweet panna cotta for my birthday.
