If you ask someone what Candente means, you won't get the same answer twice.

Some say "burning," others "a hot topic," or more literally "incandescent." Now that you're here, Candente means queso topped with chopped brisket, sea salt-rimmed margaritas, and the best Tex-Mex this side of Montrose. Candente has many meanings, but one singular focus: Tex-Mex done right.
