Service was good, waitress was on point, but the food could have had taste! I order the Huevos divorciados and needed add salt. so no seasoning was added, the enchiladas my daughter got the chicken wasn't good, rice was more simple than anything! Atmosphere seems decent friendly place, but for my first time it's my last! read more

Pretty underwhelming and disappointing. This neighborhood is packed with great restaurants serving Mexican food and I had strong expectations coming in. But the food did not live up to my expectations. read more

Service and food very authentically Mexician. We had the huevos con chorizo and empanadas potosinas- no spice to them but add spicy red table sauce. The atole de guava is Yummy for my tummy especially on this cold rainy day. read more

Los Candiles - Atole de Guayaba and spicy red salsafor totopos. - Mexican Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

This place taste like eating in your grandmas house. It is so authentic and feels like home. I was originally going to cathedral but it was an hour wait and I was hangry. Decided to try this place out that's less than 10 minutes away. I had the enchiladas. I am always hesitant to eat enchiladas at restaurants because they usually are bad. I tried half papa and half chicken. They were both really good. Our waitress was very kind with suggestions. My mom didn't care too much for the special. The down side is that parking is limited. They have a small parking lot in the alley but most is taken by employees. They have street parking. On my way to my car I was able to stop by and purchase the best tamales and pumpkin with a vendor from the street. read more

BEST MEXICAN FOOD!! We are from Texas but our Chicago family has been coming here for years. We came to visit Chicago so we stopped to try Los Candiles. Immediately we were given a warm welcome and felt like family. The atmosphere is colorful, cozy, and friendly. The food is authentic and delicious!! Something for everyone! From the freshly squeezed OJ to the warm tortillas. Finally, our wonderful server, Giovanna, was AMAZING!! Very kind, personable and accommodating. Cannot recommend this place enough! read more

Great catered food, really nice people, and they also deliver.. the food was on point , they really took care of me

Vi un TickTock donde recomendaban este lugar y sus huevos divorciados. En una visita que hice a Chicago tuve que visitar este lugar. Los huevos estaban muy buenos, y los sirven muy bien. Ademas pedi un chocolate caliente que me cayo super bien porque esta muy frio el clima. Los candiles es un buen lugar para cuando visiten Chicago. read more

This is probably my favorite Mexican breakfast restaurant. I have been coming the last twenty years and always have the same dish, huevos divorciados. The breakfast comes with homemade tortillas. There is nothing unusual with their dishes. What set this restaurant apart from others, it tastes like homemade. read more

This place is phenomenal! It's family owned, opened in 1995 and the talk of the neighborhood. It's unsuspecting if you walk by but as you walk in, it immediately feels cozy. I'm vegetarian and they were super accommodating. We had the: - Atole de teja: a warm sunflower seed based drink. Super yummy, definitely recommend - Divorced Eggs: definitely get this. They're known for this. The chilaquiles were one of the best I've had. - enchiladas Potosinas: these were cheese filled empanadas, they were good but not as good as everything else on the menu. read more

Fantastic food at great prices! Great customer service.. Parking can be challenging since there's a church right down the street... However there is a small parking lot. read more

A tip for anyone eating at a Mexican restaurant, if the chips and salsa are good then the food will also be good. This place is tucked away, it's roomy and decorated with famous Mexican movie stars. Service is fast and friendly, menu is easy to read and understand, prices are very reasonable. The best part is the food is delicious and authentic. Tortillas are hand made and they are delicious, eggs are done perfect and chilaquiles are crispy and not too spicy. Will definitely come back. read more

stars: 3 or 4, maybe 3,, na I think 4. 3.5 would be perfect. Sunday morning and sister calls asking to go out for breakfast. I agreed but her only condition was that we had to stop at a store first, I gave in. I don't do well when I'm hungry, she should've known that. After a few minutes in the store I started complaining that I was hungry and we just left without getting what she needed LOL. It was a nice sunny, chilly day. We get there and it took a bit of effort and driving around to find parking since there was a lot of people going to the building in front, which seems to be a church. We get inside and to my surprise, it is a nice place, painted with a nice yellowish color. Decent size place subdivided into 3 areas. We ordered the food and I knew exactly what I wanted, enchiladas huastecas. When properly prepared they are awesome. So this is the list of what I tried: Enchiladas huastecas, huevos divorciados, atole blanco and atole de teja. The enchiladas were good, not great but good. They are filled with cheese, chicken or picadillo, covered in red sauce, topped with sauted carrots and potatos, lettuce and avocado, accompanied with black refried beans. But again I compared them to my family's and there are no better enchiladas than my mom's. The eggs were solid good the atole blanco on the other hand, was great, just the way my mom used to make. It is accompanied with polincillo (kinda brown sugar candy for a lack of proper English term for it) One sip of that atole and a bite on the piloncillo immediately transported me to when I was a child and mom would make that for us. I had never had atole de teja but wasn't going to leave without tring it. It is good and do not know how they make it but is made with sun flower seeds. The service was a little slow, but eventually got everything. read more

The food was excellent, the sauces, tortillas, juices and the services. I highly recommend It. I ordered Huevos divorciados which was a mix of carne asada, chilaquiles and eggs with green and red sauce, it came with homemade corn tortillas. I had a little bit of everything in one, loved it. read more

I had high hopes for this place. It right from the get go it was not a good situation. First of getting there was not bad. Chicago has construction everywhere so nothing new! It was a maze though to find the parking! And I really hate one way streets, but any who.... it's a small quaint place. Nice decor. Clean bathrooms and service was good and attentive. But the food I ordered, the eggs were a little to greasy. And the shredded beef was burnt. read more

Located in Little Village. Very Clean and nicely decorated. Authentic Mexican Menu. Loved the food. Had the huevos Divorciados with Chilaquiles. So delicious and eggs cooked perfectly. My friend had the menudo and he loved it. Service was friendly and acceptable. read more

Love this place and crave it often. Hand made tortillas great service and delicious food!

This is my family's favorite Mexican restaurant. We go eat here often. The food is delicious, my favorite plate is fajitas de pollo.

Some of the best Mexican food I've had in any state. Green Chilaquiles with steak was beyond awesome, crispy and gooey, with spice! Plus they have a small parking area in a town where parking is nightmare. Delicious food in Little Village area of Chicago. read more

This place is a hidden gem in the little village. It's very cozy and there's even parking in the back! The food is great and very authentic just like mom's food. Very reasonable priced! read more

Awesome Authentic Mexican food. Been here quite a few times and never ate anything that wasn't good. Great service and Ambience.

Always great! Great service and excellent food! Green chilaquiles are my regular order. No carne yes sour cream.

My favorite breakfast place. I almost always get the Huevos Divorciados but everything else I've tasted has been great as well. The staff is very friendly and I always feel welcome. read more

The house special enchiladas huastecas was (1) beautiful and (2) scrumptious. The chips and salsa before the meal were also delicious. Having someone who was fluent in Spanish was helpful, but when is that not the case? ;-) read more

The food here is pretty good. I am only given them three stars because there service is extremely slow. It's like snails are running this place. I was there with my kids and husband on a Monday when it wasn't too busy and it took almost 40 minutes to get our order. I got the chilaquiles which are tasty. My husband had bistec ala Mexicana. He loved it. My girls had the pancakes which surprisingly were nice and fluffy. I wasn't expecting great pancakes from a Mexican resteraunt:) Another reason for only 3 stars is because I found a hair in the salsa. Gross. The ladies working there need to wear their hair back. Coffee isn't good either. They should try adding cannela to make it more flavorful. Will try them again but not for a long long time. When I have lots of quarters for the meters on 26th street since it takes a while to get your food. read more

I started going to los candiles a while ago maybe a little after they opened. my aunt suggested it . ever since then my whole family goes. it may not be an every day thing, but we def love the food and the people.. especially because we feel at home knowing their from San Luis Potosi as well. read more

Craving some great homemade Mexican food? Los Candiles is the place to be! Their breakfast are amazing, I highly recommend the Chilaquiles and if your going for dinner the Enchiladas Hueastecas are phenomenal. They are also going to start offering a Fresh menu which would offer a lighter option... read more

My cousin Gus and I enjoyed the food very much. Especially the milanesa. Very fast and friendly service.

A family owned restaurant, in which you will always see at least one member of the family there at all times. They serve the BEST home-style mexican food that your heart desires. While others say that they serve "authentic" mexican food, this is the most authentic you can get. Like their motto says on a poster at the front of the restaurant, "Si quieren comer rico y calientito, esperense un momentito", meaning "If you want to eat good and hot, wait a moment", sure the translation doesn't have the same effect, but you get the idea. They serve from Huevos Rancheros, to Enchiladas, to Chicken Salads, Mariscos, etc. Everything that you would ever want. If there is something that you are craving, but you do not see on the menu, you can just tell the waitress what you want, and you will have it in no time. Every other can be constumed made, there are no exceptions. It really is one of the best mexican restaurants in the city. EVERYTHING, and I do mean everything, is freshly made when you order. You just can't get better food than this, that's why you will always see many of the regulars there almost every day. read more
