About
Los 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

We got scammed. Came here for lunch with my coworker, taco plate was delicious.
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.

“The service was incredibly fast, server was very polite and observant.”
The service was incredibly fast, server was very polite and observant. The tacos I just had were probably the BEST I’ve had in a very long time. Stumbled across this hidden gem on accident and I will definitely be coming back.

“I had the Enchiladas Huastecas.”
I had the Enchiladas Huastecas. Man! These were delicious! 4 enchiladas stuffed with chicken and ground beef. Topped with chorizo sausage, potatoes, sour cream, cheese and lettuce. With a side of black beans and sliced avocado. The place is decorated with nolstagic Mexican cinema artists. You can find parking in the back of the building. Will definitely come back!

“Came here on a recommendation.”
Came here on a recommendation. We ordered the shrimp fajitas and the Milanesa de res. The shrimp was delicious and well seasoned. It came with guacamole, beans, and rice. The guacamole needed some salt no biggie. Beans were delicious. The rice was ok. Not bad but not great. The milanesa was good and flavorful. It was a bit oily tho. Our drinks were an horchata and jamica. I prefer them on the sweeter side but these were done well and refreshing.
