Officials with Sambrooks Hospitality first announced in September that Candente would replace the former Mandito's Tex-Mex restaurant in Bellaire and open as the restaurant's second location, following its original outpost in Montrose, which has been operating since 2019.
Owner Michael Sambrooks said in a Dec. 22 news release that the new location represents a commitment to the expansion of his two brands—Candente and The Pit Room—at the top of the culinary game in the Houston restaurant scene.
“It’s a privilege to open in Bellaire and get to know and serve a new clientele,” Sambrooks said. “We’re excited to introduce our style of authentic, handcrafted Tex-Mex that has made us a Houston dining staple.”
