    La Huerta Candy is a great place to bring kids or even a really big kid like myself. There's so many different kind of options. If you are looking for some classic Mexican candy. They've got you covered. they have all different flavor profiles from salty, sweet, sour and spicy. The gentleman working the counter was very friendly and helpful. He was also very patient with us trying to decide what we wanted. I literally felt like a "fat kid in a candy shop" The options were limitless. I tried some of the dried mangos, other fruit and gummies covered in the Mexican chili flavor. I enjoyed some and others not so much. They had some really cool gummies with cool subject matter like gummy dinosaurs. I really wanted to get my son the gummy green army men

    Delicious candy!! I tried their dehydrated pineapple rings cover in chili powder, watermelon gummies in chili powder and gummy worms. They sell candy by the pound. You can mix and match and pick from a wide variety. The also sell mixed nuts and dehydrated fruit. Service was prompt and the staff takes care of you quickly. They accept cards payment and cash.

    Snapped this while waiting for my order.

    Best selection of various nuts and candies ever. The cashews are next level, and the candy is awesome. The customer service is also a breath of fresh air in a big city and a crowded Grand Central Market. I highly recommend stopping by here for candies and nuts if you're strolling through Grand Central Market.

    Custom spicy snack mix!

    When you come back from Mexico and are majorly jonesing for crunchy spicy things. Then you remember LA is Mexico dammit you can find this here! Tahdah! One block from work is this gem! Got my botana! Maiz garbanzo y habas.

    Me and my boyfriend love coming here so much! Ana is the best and always welcomes us in the best ways!! The candy is so good and worth the money!! And they have a version of the sour gushers that are so good!! Definitely worth stopping by and trying out if you're in the area

    I will always return for the chili gushers!!! They are literally the most perfectly tasting balanced chili mix I've ever tried. Customer service is top notch, he allows you to sample whatever you'd like, even the fresh mango pickled in chamoy which was BOMB!! They also sell chamoy pickle kits, I had NO IDEA. Get them before they're gone!! The place itself is a very cool booth it has all the candies displayed it's very colorful and eye-catching. I love love love all their candies there's a HUGE variety. Definitely coming back for more, as always!

    I felt like a kid in a candy store. Located in Grand Central Market, La Huerta has reasonably priced candies. For a small store, they have a large selection from gummies to sour candies and nuts. However, I did not see any chocolate. I got a quarter pound of chamoy candy (watermelon, mango, and sour belts) which came out to less than $5. What a treat!

    Mango and strawberry tajin belts!

    I love this place! So many sweet treats to choose from, and I love that they have so many spicy options, all very reasonably priced. I would definitely recommend this place as a stop at grand central!

    Blueberry sour belt with Chile
    Carlos R.

    Went to Grand Central Market to get out the house and came across La Huerta Candy. I'm going to be honest I'm not really a sweets type of person but when I tasted these blueberry sour belts in Chile it brought back childhood memories of eating the sour belts in school and going to my grandmas for Chile candy. For them to mix the sweet and sour with Chile is a out of this world experience and not one over powers the other. It's a perfect balance of both to the point I had to stop myself from eating the whole half a pound haha I would highly recommend checking this place out if you live sweet and spicy.

I placed the blue Dogders-themed Sho-mochi back on the shelf, promising I'd return soon with ransom money. I never break a promise. A week later, I walked in with a $10 bill and walked out with $3.50 worth of change shuffling in my back pocket. Shohei and I are skipping town. I took the train to a stop far from covetous eyes. I devoured the 1st mochi street side, liberating smooth white chocolate ganache from its stretchy mochi enclosure. Then I ate another one. Was it worth the two trips and the odd feeling of handling paper bills? Sure, because long before Shohei, I've loved Fugetsu Do. Korey's Chocolate mochi is my all-star, named after the founder's great grandson. Years ago, Korey's dad, Brian Kito, was at the Cherry Blossom Festival in Monterey Park, demonstrating how to make mochi. He told us he created this treat because his son likes chocolate. I was hooked. I usually buy their confectionery at the local Mitsuwa or Marukai. It's inspiring, though, to see this shop in real life, standing on First St. as the oldest business still operating in Little Tokyo. Shuttered during WWII when the Kito family was incarcerated, it was rebuilt from scratch when they returned with no money or access to their equipment. The founder's son Roy and his wife Kazuko slept at the Buddist temple while he worked as a waiter to save up. With determination and community support, Fugetsu Do reopened for business in 1946. It is now a piece of living history, a testament to human hope and mochi, stretched and pounded, only to come out stronger on the other side.

I don't think there is necessarily any single flavor that is a must-try (though I haven't tried a lot), so you could be best just choosing flavors that naturally appeal to you. I also don't have a tier list because there's somewhat of a language barrier and a lack of description when perusing their selection. You're best pointing to something that looks cute and just hoping for the best. Also, since there's usually a line to order, you feel bad when you're holding up people. Luckily, I think most of their mochis taste good due to their delicate mochi exterior and well-balanced bean paste fillings. They even have some that are filled with chocolate or other things, and some topped or mixed with fresh fruit. I generally hate red bean desserts, but I don't mind these because the paste is super smooth. The paste is maybe a tad sweeter than I'd hope for, but perfect for the average taster. Parking is pretty annoying since this area is popular. Fresh mochi really will not keep well, and are very prone to degradation, so they will only last a couple days after purchase. Honestly, this type of dessert is not exactly a thing that you'd crave for, but more of a cute, quirky enjoyment that we should continue to support just to keep it in circulation.

You can literally take your time walking around and pick whatever catches your eye. They give you little white shovels to scoop the candy into your bag, and then your bag is weighed at checkout, so you pay based on how much you get. Just be careful because it is VERY easy to fill up your bag, especially when you want to try things you've never had before. I have a few favorites, and I definitely recommend coming here if you want to try something different. I also like that you can collect points and get money off once you accumulate enough. The Studio City location on Ventura is in a great area with other dessert spots nearby, so you can definitely make a little treat run out of it. I would bring friends or guests here, and if I had kids, I would absolutely bring them too. I definitely recommend KANDI if you love candy. Just know that once you start scooping, it can be very easy to go through an entire bag by yourself!
