Los Candiles Restaurant
Carlos de Jesus Perez · 248 Google reviewsLos Candiles Restaurant — reliable mexican in Little Village that keeps people coming back. Classic neighborhood feel, nothing here chasing trends. Creative without being gimmicky, and owner-operated. "The Lomo is very tender and well seasoned but on the fattier side (if you add that)" — Abuelita Maco [$]

“So I order a menudo they gave me these in such a poor conditions they did not even take a chance to chop it right after I complained them the gave me another plate I don't recommend coming here its seems like they more worried about giving you Less quality and just focusing in talking with clients. I guess ppl got used to poor quality. If you looking for something new to try these is not the place”
